This is the video I've poured the most into -- I've thrown so many new and different ideas on it, collaborated with people I never thought I'd work with, spent my entire summer break on, and totally went out of my comfort zone to try to deliver the best, most heartwarming video I could possibly make. I don't know if this video will do well, or just get a not-so-good amount of views, but whatever happens, I hope you enjoy it! That's all that matters
And it's still as good as the first time I've watched it. I still resonate with it, but as you say, I've learned so much since then. Thanks for doing this video. ❤
I really hope these videos are able to take off more cuz god damn that was a banger. Your other vids were good but this is 100% a totally different level. This def struck a chord with me. I went to a highschool for kids on the spectrum and other things like adhd and bipolar. It was really nice being in a community that understood me. Graduating was fucking brutal. I was numb for months, and it's still never been the same. Adulthood is hard and scary, and I know that eventually I gotta be doing it all without my parents' support. We live in a competitive world and you have to really try hard as hell to make it. But it is easy to get stuck in a short term mindset. If you take care of yourself and try to take the opportunities and care about the people life gives you, then things will work out the best they can with time. And hey, if it's the best you can do then it's enough.
Amazing video Matthew and I am so happy to be featured! This will be a piece of work you look back on fondly for the rest of your life. Congratulations on a job well done!!
OMG IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! This video felt so special to me man omfg. Such a monumental moment in your life yet you still proceeded to make a banger video about it I have so much respect for you. I loved seeing the clips already which lead up to this video. You are so incredible man. Your art style and quality is insane! Every video strikes to heart it’s so relatable holy smokes. I wish you all the best for your future!
Pigchefer, I took the time to watch this video and I want to say that this video truly touched my heart. I understand some of the fears you have when it comes to growing up; as a current college student, I can absolutely relate to them. Nevertheless, your delivery on talking about your fear was magnificent. I can truly tell that you definitely put your heart and soul into making this animation with an impactful theme into it. I wish you the best for the future of this UA-cam Channel and the future of yourself, pigchefer! also youtube should set this as a trending youtube video, cause its heartwarming and beautiful with a powerful message :)
It all zooms by so fast, there's barely time to plan for 10 years ahead when all your focus is needed for the next 5 ;-;. The more you experience though, the more you'll understand, and the more you'll see how things fall into place. Maybe it won't ever make sense in the moment, so taking a look back is always important to see how the big fears of the future become the building blocks of the past. Glad you're figuring it out, one step at a time pigchef
Im terrified of growing up and ive been like this since 5th grade. Im now going into highschool and im even more terrified. Who knows how scared I'll be when i graduate.
‘Can that money afford me a hug?’ This line kinda hit me hard… Honestly watching this vid surfaced alot of the anxiety i have for the future. Everyday, i feel so paralysed by anxiety to text anyone. There are so many ppl in my life rn that i love, but im so scared that theyll be just a distant memory in the future, just like how many others have been. Yet, i just stick to my usual routine, and never break the cycle, never do any actual actions to help alleviate my loneliness, all because im too socially anxious, even tho ik how much im gonna regret what im doing now after i graduate. You said that u feel like the only one that is worried abt graduating, but thats definitely not true. Everyone shares the same concerns you do, altho they may not have expressed it to you. As always a great video. Its shocking to see how every video has a part that is so relatable and hits so deep for me, its always comforting to see someone else have the same worries that you do. Thanks for making these vids, its always a treat to see them in my feed, and i hope you learn to grow up, whatever that means….
Holy crap, this video is a masterpeice. The amount of depth and meaning you have put into this is truly amazing, not to mention the magnificent art style, music and editing. Thank you for making this video pigchefer. This is truly special.
These videos always touch my hearth and I can't say anything negative about them. The amount of work you put into every single video, the drawings, the writing, everything is just perfect. I feel the same way and that makes these videos even more special. Also, thank you for the drawing you made of me, it looks awesome! I hope you have a wonderful day!
You are amazing! I love this video. I've never really feared growing up, infact im more happy that i am. I'm glad i can start making decisions on my own. Although i haven't grown up entirely yet i can only imagine great thing in the life ahead of me. Anyways wish all the best for the rest of your life :D
I'm about to start my senior year in a place where its kind of college or homelessness, and the aspect of at the age of 18 deciding what i want to do to get out of that area is terrifying. and something about that ending with you and your future self i feel like at least temporarily put that fear to bed.
This video hit me in the feels, man I'm going through the same process right now and the way you articulated and voiced your fears resonated with me Very very very well done
I absolutely adore your content. You're criminally underrated. The thought, care, and love in your videos is so apparent and its so entertaining. I know the future is intimidating, but you've figured it all out this far I'm sure there's nothing stopping you!
Wow. The amount of similarities we have in this topic are scary lol. I graduated on June 4th this year, and I’m going to be moving into university on the 24th of this month. Throughout my entire senior year, I had so much anxiety because all I could think about was how I was going to graduate soon. I ended up putting off a lot of things like applying for scholarships, and even applying for college itself. Every day I actually wanted to stay at school because I knew that when I got home, my dad would make me do more college related stuff (I’m glad he made me do it now though). While I still have a bit of anxiety now, it’s now way less because I recently went to a week long sort of camp my college was hosting. During that week, I made more friends than I had in the past year lol. The week also helped me get used to the campus and we got a sort of head start on how things are going to work. My advice for you is if your college does have something similar to that, please go to it. I also recommend trying your best to think positively about the future even if you aren’t so sure. Anyways thanks for coming to my tedtalk.
fjsdkl;ad I didn't think anyone else would be like me and avoid college and stuff, that's neat to know you found something that made you feel better about it! my college starts next week, and I hope I can make some friends there to get me to feel better about it too :3 I wish you luck mister jack!!!
this is wildly good. hit me right in the feels dude no matter what your future looks like i guarantee it'll be good cause holy HELL you have a wild amount of skill and talent bravo dawg
This strikes such a chord with me, I personally feel that, as I move on to become an adult, I have upped the stakes for myself. In the past, if I fail, I make one small fail. But as an adult, if I fail, it's going to hurt real bad.
the discord is to submit video suggestions, fan art, and questions you would like to ask me, other than that my community is really small so yeah it only really pops off on days i upload
As always you produced a masterpiece again. Your videos always hit the nail when it comes to the struggles most teens of my and your age have. But the way you talk about it and try to explain and work around it. That's what I love so much from your videos. Everytime you make a video I tell myself I won't cry. But I do most of the time. mostly tears of joy. I'm mcloving it. Keep it up and I hope u figure things out. But that's part of growing up ig.
You putted this topic of a video, just well. Always will be a life lesson learn with us humans of growing up and figuring out what you do in that scenario. Especially with our mistakes, how others go through it, what new things to do in the future and so on. Great video pigchefer. Everyone did an amazing job of making this video possible of yours. Loved it. 👍🏼
this video was pretty cool, just remember that as you grow you’ll find new people and i suspect that will help out a lot (coming from someone who struggles with finding people)
5k views how, better than a lot of videos I’ve seen that have millions! Im glad I found this hidden gem on the internet, and I wish you luck on your future ventures!
Just stumbled across this while researching, and what kind of gem did I just find? The editing is on another level, and the storytelling was compelling and engaging. wishing you the best for 2024!
Am I the only one that noticed Jam Attack in the background. But on a serious note this video is one of the best I've ever seen you deserve more fame then you have now. Wait Jam Attack is a member makes sense he's in the background.
Fricc man why does this make me bawl my eyes out. It’s something I relate to so much- but what really takes the cake was the dialogue between you and your future self. This felt reassuring for me, as someone who fears the future. You’ll definitely go to places, pigchefer. Good places.
I can agree with you. I’m still young, but I’m terrified of growing up. Everybody just makes it seem so scary, like not having enough money for anything, endless work, taking care of children, and more. I just don’t look forward to growing up. I’m scared I’ll just have nothing when I move out…
I can tell a lot of heart was poured into this video. As I’ve aged, I’ve become more aware that you really do find happiness all within yourself. Life doesn’t get worse as you age, it only gets worse if you think it does. That’s how I personally learned to “accept” as time passes.
I'm in High school and I'm so scared of growing up. This fear of growing up is so intense. But this video helped me to overcome this fear. Thank you so much 😊.
I am glad you made a video on this, it can be real hard to move on sometimes, but you can only go forward. You are probably the most underrated youtuber I have come across so far!
this is a freaking AMAZING video man. I'm 20 now, recently graduated from college and now in the workforce in my field. Trust me, I'm still trying to figure it all out, and I'm still very afraid of growing up. You absolutely nailed every single one of my various thought processes with different narratives throughout the video, and the general quality of it all is just phenomenal. This is seriously one of my favorite videos on the internet. Incredible work
well mr pig man that I found from a random video 8 months ago, it appears that you and i have quite the similiarities. nobody really wants to grow up, and that includes me! i'm nervous for the future (don't even know what my major will be) and it's gonna be sad to leave my amazing family and friends on that fateful first day of college. i've been able to deal with it by doing a really cool maneuver called "never thinking about it" as well, i believe it is really easy to fall into the "life is meaningless and just one big regret and everything sucks after childhood" rabbithole, but the way I get out of it is just by... not caring XD. I step back and think, "ah to hell with it, if I'm gonna die I might as well not spend it sulking" but anyways, enough about me, THIS VIDEO WHAT IT "S SO GOOD AT PROTRAYING EMOTIONS AND STUFF AND I LOVE IT AMAINZG ANIMATION = 1001/10. a lot of videos on youtube or posts on the internet portray this fear in such a negative and nihilistic light, but the end part with your future self is something that almost no one talks about. the voice acting was great, the animation was smooth, the music was good, the whole video just felt... cozy? (probably the art style) thanks for making a better video about a topic than anyone else ever could. I hope to see more of you in the future 😎or not idk Happy Graduation, Matthew. :) -random internet baylor mr. robinson guy from youtube comment
finally got the time to watch this, great video as always! i really wish your videos got more recognition, love the messages behind them all, and they're super entertaining of course.
This video really resonated with me a lot, you've made a fantastic video and I'm proud very of you, I wish you the best with your future and for that matter, everyone else's futures as well
Hey pig! My older brother graduated 3 months ago, and he’s headed off to college in just a few weeks. I think he’s certainly nervous, everyone is when they graduate. I want to wish you good luck on whatever happens next, you’ll do great on it and just know we all support you.
Oh my god, this has to be one of the greatest videos ive watched on youtube, honestly, i can also kind of relate to this, im 13, far from finishing school,, i think of the future, it always makes me excited yet, i feel dread. Time has always felt like an infinite hamster wheel but the inevitable ending terrifies me, what if everything comes crashing down for me in the future and for the rest of my life, i live in terrible conditions that will never get better, ill die unloved and uncared for. I think its just nice knowing that not everything is doom and gloom and to have a posotive outlook. there will be moments of sadness, rage, fear but we are only human, we share a this rock with 8 billion people, who also have goals and aspirations, and we are all uncertain for whats next. And thats okay. Since 'Why i stopped trying' your videos have exploded in quality, you are actually making some of the greatest stuff ive seen on this platform,, and i hope you grow from here. i really am excited to see your next projects and i wish you the best.
absolutely fantastic video, the way you mixed humour into it made it feel like a more bearable issue to talk about without making it any less serious somehow (also i REALLY like the lighting in your art and it was particularly good in this video)
I am still pretty young, so most of this stuff I can’t exactly relate to. However, sometimes I do also feel like when I’m old, I’m gonna have a hard time supporting myself and work minimum wage. But maybe life isn’t so bad after all, if you can make the best of it and try to do the things you want to do. I myself would call you pretty successful, Matthew, as even at such a young age you were able to make so many connections with so many people, and were able to collaborate to make a masterclass of a video. GL on your future endeavors 8)
Also going to college, moving in 9 days in fact, so yeah, this hits home. Just have solace knowing that everyone everywhere throughout history has felt like this. And never stop pursuing your passions because of some number. If ever you post one of these videos and the algorithm doesn’t treat it nicely, don’t become discouraged. With the insane amount of effort and sincerity and vulnerability poured into every one of your animations, you’re bound to find success in some artistic form. I believe.
This video has made me realise that I've already had to grow up at 16 without me realising. I can't act like I used to anymore, I have more responsibilities than I could've ever imagined 8 months ago. I dropped out of Year 11 in June to do TAFE full time (TAFE is similar to junior college), and it's left me with so much more I need to do than I ever could at school. I love doing it, sure, but this is so much more than I have had to do and I'm not used to it. I've never been afraid to grow up and I've always been excited for it but when it all came so suddenly it hit me like a tonne of bricks, and being hit by bricks hurts. I need to change myself a little bit, in ways I will hopefully one day know, but I'm lucky to have this and to have everything I want out of this course and out of my life so far, and I hope that this continues.
(TLDR: Same) I don’t usually have a chance to talk about the feelings I often hide from people, but this video felt very personal to me and was extremely touching, and it makes me feel a lot less alone. I’m a sophomore in high school, so I guess I still have time not to worry about this. Despite that, I still have to get a driver’s license soon, and I have very little experience working, and don’t have much of an opportunity to find a job. I have trouble making friends in school because I have a huge fear of judgment, and I often feel like I’m not where I’m supposed to be, or at least, where everyone around me is. My biggest fear about growing up is the fear that time can’t be my trusted friend, and fix the awkwardness that I face as I’m still going through adolescence. I believe that if I do everything correctly, things will slowly come into some sort of pattern that I can make sense of. But that’s based off the assumption that I can maintain my luck and not fail a class, or stop taking college courses, or lose my artistic inspiration. I tell myself that college will be a chance for me to start over socially, and I’ll be able to truly connect with other people once we’ve all went through saying goodbye to friends and family, and only have each other. But at the same time, I know getting over a fear is like an exercise, and it’s not going to go away or get any easier if I’m just in the same room with people I want to make friends with. Uncertainty is really frustrating, and I wish I could see my future self, doing well and starting to get a hang of adulthood. I remember you talked about writing, and you wanted to have a career where you could express yourself and do what you enjoy. I do too, and I think that’s one reason why I connected with this video. This video in general hit hard though, and I think you went over every fear associated with growing up very effectively. I feel a lot better knowing that there’s someone else who understands how scary it is, and you ended off with a good message. It is hard to have no certainty of the future, but as long as it’s not a single person’s problem, we can all work together and find a solution. No one can tell the future, and there is no knowing if we will get the hang of growing up. The best we can do is have faith and try. And as long as one does this, I feel like there’s no possible way they could look back on their life with regret. If you read this all the way, you get one free hug :) -Kataris
I relate so much to this video. Growing up is such a scary concept to me, and I don't know how anyone is able to manage it. This was really touching and incredibly high quality; I can't give enough praise. Good luck in your decisions and future endeavors. Whatever you do, don't forget that you are an incredibly cool and talented person, no matter what anyone thinks.
Damn... I’m not gonna lie, this hit me like a truck. It’s probably safe to say that the fear of the unknown gets to us all. In less than 6 months, I’ll be on my way to live all by myself with no family, no friends, without the comfort that is being at home and in a different country. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid because I’m absolutely terrified. But maybe that’s how it should be. One year ago, I would have never even imagined life would go this way for me. We teenagers really love to make the process of growing up the antagonist of our youth, but most of the time it’s for the better, we just don’t know it yet. I regretted many things in my short life and I’m definitely afraid to regret even more. Hell, sometimes, hopelessness spontaneously invades my brain but when you put some thought into it, you realize that It’s really easy to trick our brains to make our younger days feel the best, but doing so we make our present days look like a meaningless pile of trash. I’ve learned that the process just requieres patience and a bit of carelessness to avoid thinking so much about it. This phase in life is present in everyone’s life after all and we will all look back at these days and probably think: “Yeah, it really wasn’t that big of a deal.” I still have a lot to do and a lot to learn. Talent isn’t wasted because you didn’t make the most of it in your teens. The capability is always there. It’s up to us to decide what we want to do with it. I found this video profoundly relatable, and it’s genuinely comforting to know that a lot of people like me are on the same page. Now, I must say that the work poured into it is beyond astonishing. I will definitely follow your channel closely and I’m eager to see what you’ll bring in the future! 😸 -Guy on the internet
Wowza thank you for the thoughtful comment!!! This is what mister Tricky Gym has told me, to not worry too much about it, and right now I feel much better!!! I hope the next few years goes alright for you!!
@@pigchefer Ayy thanks man! I appreciate it! These thought-provoking videos of yours helped to clear my mind a bit! 😁I'm glad to hear Tricky Gym supports you! After all, he wasn't wrong, it really isn't that big of a deal!
i just found this video and bro i relate so much, growing up is scary, whenever someone asks me what i want to do when i grow up i always just say "i dont know" cuz i genuinely dont, i have no idea what i want to do or what im gonna do when i grow up, its all so scary, i wish i could be a kid forever
I see, that you have focused on sound effects and stuff. Nice to see that you're giving attention to it. Let's wait for the next upcoming video then :)
I have also graduated this year aswell and I just went back to school because I am scared of choosing what to do. Will my parents like it, will I like it? Will I make good choices? CAN I make good choices? Things like this swirl around in my head at 18, but now I'm learning over the break that, I shouldn't really care about these things. Ofc I'm still scared and it's hard to choose, but with time I will find out. It's all a leap of faith essentially, no matter how corny it sounds, taking risks and living out life the best you can. Make decisions, make your parents happy, but most importantly just take the steps to get closer to that through your vision. I'm 18, and I'm glad to say this year will not be a waste.
Haven’t watched it yet but I relate to this title so fucking much school is almost over for me and idk I’ve hated it a large portion of my life but now I miss it so much and idk how my life will be without it
I really have no idea what to say after watching this, I was just kinda in shock seeing almost the exact thoughts I had word for word on the screen in front of me. Regardless of how this video does, I hope you realize just how talented you are and that there’s people with hundreds of thousands of subscribers who can’t even touch your level of quality. Can’t wait to see what you do next dude.
i'm not even close to getting to that point, and i'm already scared of the future and have been for a while. im not really good at anything tbh, and i'll probably just end up working as a cashier or something but i hope i won't, and hopefully i'll actually find out something i'm good at. i mean i have a lot of time right?
It's sad to see the youtube algorithm causing the majority of your audience to be stuck in the GD space... this content is actually remarkable and very inspiring, whilst also discussing a lot of problems I myself come across. Although the fame or money isn't the point with a lot of these things, it would be nice for you to make some money, earn some subscribers off your extremely hard work and effort put into your videos. Thanks for making your content, and I hope you continue doing so.
goshhhh this is THE comment of all time thank you so much!!! yes I really am having that dilemma, because if only gd people click my videos, then UA-cam will be stuck in an unending cycle of my videos being only recommended to gd people, and then gd people clicking them, and so on. I'm happy you like what I do with my videos, and I do hope some monetary success comes someday! Some people were kind enough to join my channel memberships, and although it doesn't give me that much (I set it to $1 only LOL) I'm just happy people want me to continue doing this hehe For now I will definitely continue making videos, I have so many more ideas I wanna share!!!!
🎉 happy birthday 🎂 i hope you have a good day maker of silly animation videos. maybe we can set something up sometime good luck on future endeavors and life in general. You are a very cool person pig
Not looking forward to apps, I graduate next year, and I still have no idea what I wanna do and I constantly compare myself to more talented people than me like you, I feel like I have no worth and it’s really fucking me up, along with my grades being average everything feels like shit.
what video editor do you use, and is it approachable for beginners? i'm looking for something that can move stock images around and not much else. i'm using imovie and it literally cant put text in the video without some sort of long animation its ridiculous
all the programs I use are listed on the about section of my channel! but to put it briefly, I use davinci resolve and I learned it pretty quickly so yeah hehe
This is the video I've poured the most into -- I've thrown so many new and different ideas on it, collaborated with people I never thought I'd work with, spent my entire summer break on, and totally went out of my comfort zone to try to deliver the best, most heartwarming video I could possibly make. I don't know if this video will do well, or just get a not-so-good amount of views, but whatever happens, I hope you enjoy it! That's all that matters
It shows man. It really does. Great work. :)
And it's still as good as the first time I've watched it. I still resonate with it, but as you say, I've learned so much since then. Thanks for doing this video. ❤
this video is beautiful. Exactly 1 month from now I'll be a full fledged adult. I'm nervous tbh.
I really hope these videos are able to take off more cuz god damn that was a banger. Your other vids were good but this is 100% a totally different level.
This def struck a chord with me. I went to a highschool for kids on the spectrum and other things like adhd and bipolar. It was really nice being in a community that understood me. Graduating was fucking brutal. I was numb for months, and it's still never been the same.
Adulthood is hard and scary, and I know that eventually I gotta be doing it all without my parents' support. We live in a competitive world and you have to really try hard as hell to make it.
But it is easy to get stuck in a short term mindset. If you take care of yourself and try to take the opportunities and care about the people life gives you, then things will work out the best they can with time. And hey, if it's the best you can do then it's enough.
that's really interesting to hear mister jam, thank you for the comment! I hope everything will turn out fine with your future at the end!
Jamattack!
I genuinely agree with you,ngl.
This video felt special. Thank you so much for featuring me in this. Good luck on what happens next, whatever, wherever and whenever it comes.
thanks for lending your voice!!!! and thank you for the comment :>
It is okay to be nervous. You are not alone in that sentiment. It is good to express your feelings to an audience you’re familiar with. :)
this ^^
Amazing video Matthew and I am so happy to be featured! This will be a piece of work you look back on fondly for the rest of your life. Congratulations on a job well done!!
THANK YOU
I'm so happy you found this young talent in Pigchefer, keep up the great work dude!
OMG IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! This video felt so special to me man omfg. Such a monumental moment in your life yet you still proceeded to make a banger video about it I have so much respect for you. I loved seeing the clips already which lead up to this video. You are so incredible man. Your art style and quality is insane! Every video strikes to heart it’s so relatable holy smokes. I wish you all the best for your future!
thanks a bunch!
Pigchefer, I took the time to watch this video and I want to say that this video truly touched my heart. I understand some of the fears you have when it comes to growing up; as a current college student, I can absolutely relate to them. Nevertheless, your delivery on talking about your fear was magnificent. I can truly tell that you definitely put your heart and soul into making this animation with an impactful theme into it.
I wish you the best for the future of this UA-cam Channel and the future of yourself, pigchefer!
also youtube should set this as a trending youtube video, cause its heartwarming and beautiful with a powerful message :)
aaaa thank you! I wish you luck on college mister boot!!!
It all zooms by so fast, there's barely time to plan for 10 years ahead when all your focus is needed for the next 5 ;-;. The more you experience though, the more you'll understand, and the more you'll see how things fall into place. Maybe it won't ever make sense in the moment, so taking a look back is always important to see how the big fears of the future become the building blocks of the past. Glad you're figuring it out, one step at a time pigchef
thank you so much capper!!!
Bro how is it possible for a channel to be this underated? Great vid. ❤
Thanks a bunch!!
a insane amount of effort goes into this pig to make silly yet serious videos for us to enjoy
we we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing he is
You're slowly becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs.
Im terrified of growing up and ive been like this since 5th grade. Im now going into highschool and im even more terrified. Who knows how scared I'll be when i graduate.
You still have time to figure it out mister poizin I believe in you!!!
‘Can that money afford me a hug?’
This line kinda hit me hard…
Honestly watching this vid surfaced alot of the anxiety i have for the future. Everyday, i feel so paralysed by anxiety to text anyone. There are so many ppl in my life rn that i love, but im so scared that theyll be just a distant memory in the future, just like how many others have been. Yet, i just stick to my usual routine, and never break the cycle, never do any actual actions to help alleviate my loneliness, all because im too socially anxious, even tho ik how much im gonna regret what im doing now after i graduate. You said that u feel like the only one that is worried abt graduating, but thats definitely not true. Everyone shares the same concerns you do, altho they may not have expressed it to you.
As always a great video. Its shocking to see how every video has a part that is so relatable and hits so deep for me, its always comforting to see someone else have the same worries that you do. Thanks for making these vids, its always a treat to see them in my feed, and i hope you learn to grow up, whatever that means….
thanks for your kind words :3 I also have a lot of social anxiety which is unfortunate, it is really hard to get out of fjdklaf;ds
Holy crap, this video is a masterpeice. The amount of depth and meaning you have put into this is truly amazing, not to mention the magnificent art style, music and editing. Thank you for making this video pigchefer. This is truly special.
Yay I am glad you liked it!
Im just gunna say this. You deserve a lot more subs and recognition and what you say is so relatable. You are the definition of a real youtuber.
aaaa thank you
These videos always touch my hearth and I can't say anything negative about them. The amount of work you put into every single video, the drawings, the writing, everything is just perfect. I feel the same way and that makes these videos even more special.
Also, thank you for the drawing you made of me, it looks awesome!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
I'm happy you like the drawing! thanks a bunch
100% agree, life is.. a struggle. and i dont want to be alone, i feel as ive got nobody to turn to. but in the end, everything will be okay!
I really REALLY Felt this video on a personal level, thank you
You are amazing! I love this video. I've never really feared growing up, infact im more happy that i am. I'm glad i can start making decisions on my own. Although i haven't grown up entirely yet i can only imagine great thing in the life ahead of me. Anyways wish all the best for the rest of your life :D
I'm about to start my senior year in a place where its kind of college or homelessness, and the aspect of at the age of 18 deciding what i want to do to get out of that area is terrifying. and something about that ending with you and your future self i feel like at least temporarily put that fear to bed.
I'm happy the ending of the video was effective let's go :fire:
This video hit me in the feels, man
I'm going through the same process right now and the way you articulated and voiced your fears resonated with me
Very very very well done
this is such a very emotional and relatable video Mr. Chefer, you are amazing!
you’re amazing too mister!!
I absolutely adore your content. You're criminally underrated. The thought, care, and love in your videos is so apparent and its so entertaining. I know the future is intimidating, but you've figured it all out this far I'm sure there's nothing stopping you!
thank you
Wow. The amount of similarities we have in this topic are scary lol. I graduated on June 4th this year, and I’m going to be moving into university on the 24th of this month. Throughout my entire senior year, I had so much anxiety because all I could think about was how I was going to graduate soon. I ended up putting off a lot of things like applying for scholarships, and even applying for college itself. Every day I actually wanted to stay at school because I knew that when I got home, my dad would make me do more college related stuff (I’m glad he made me do it now though). While I still have a bit of anxiety now, it’s now way less because I recently went to a week long sort of camp my college was hosting. During that week, I made more friends than I had in the past year lol. The week also helped me get used to the campus and we got a sort of head start on how things are going to work. My advice for you is if your college does have something similar to that, please go to it. I also recommend trying your best to think positively about the future even if you aren’t so sure. Anyways thanks for coming to my tedtalk.
fjsdkl;ad I didn't think anyone else would be like me and avoid college and stuff, that's neat to know you found something that made you feel better about it! my college starts next week, and I hope I can make some friends there to get me to feel better about it too :3 I wish you luck mister jack!!!
this is wildly good. hit me right in the feels
dude no matter what your future looks like i guarantee it'll be good cause holy HELL you have a wild amount of skill and talent
bravo dawg
thank you
This strikes such a chord with me, I personally feel that, as I move on to become an adult, I have upped the stakes for myself. In the past, if I fail, I make one small fail. But as an adult, if I fail, it's going to hurt real bad.
Why did you leave the discord?
@@cross.x.2305 There wasn't really anything going on in the discord
the discord is to submit video suggestions, fan art, and questions you would like to ask me, other than that my community is really small so yeah it only really pops off on days i upload
@@pigchefer fair enough I guess
As always you produced a masterpiece again. Your videos always hit the nail when it comes to the struggles most teens of my and your age have. But the way you talk about it and try to explain and work around it. That's what I love so much from your videos. Everytime you make a video I tell myself I won't cry. But I do most of the time. mostly tears of joy. I'm mcloving it. Keep it up and I hope u figure things out. But that's part of growing up ig.
Aaaa thanks a bunch I’m so honored to hear that!
You putted this topic of a video, just well. Always will be a life lesson learn with us humans of growing up and figuring out what you do in that scenario. Especially with our mistakes, how others go through it, what new things to do in the future and so on. Great video pigchefer. Everyone did an amazing job of making this video possible of yours. Loved it. 👍🏼
Thank you
You're welcome man. :)
this video was pretty cool, just remember that as you grow you’ll find new people and i suspect that will help out a lot (coming from someone who struggles with finding people)
yes I'm super excited to meet epic new people who may be epic gamer friends!!! thank you :3
this video touched my heart. its perfect. it needs so much more attention and love. 10/10
5k views how, better than a lot of videos I’ve seen that have millions! Im glad I found this hidden gem on the internet, and I wish you luck on your future ventures!
yayyyyy thank you so much!!! So happy you enjoyed
Just stumbled across this while researching, and what kind of gem did I just find? The editing is on another level, and the storytelling was compelling and engaging. wishing you the best for 2024!
thanks a bunch!!!
This spoke to my soul to the absolute.
Am I the only one that noticed Jam Attack in the background. But on a serious note this video is one of the best I've ever seen you deserve more fame then you have now. Wait Jam Attack is a member makes sense he's in the background.
i absolutely love this video i cant even explain it
Common Pigchefer W! Absolutely love all of the videos you make and you deserve SOOOO much more attention!
Thank you!! ❤❤❤
Fricc man why does this make me bawl my eyes out. It’s something I relate to so much- but what really takes the cake was the dialogue between you and your future self. This felt reassuring for me, as someone who fears the future.
You’ll definitely go to places, pigchefer. Good places.
!!! thank you mister salty fish I am happy you liked my video and I look forward to seeing you in all my days in college
Bro nah this is too real and actually making me sweat here in my chair 💀
BANGER VIDEO!!!!
We need rainbolt to guess his home town
your channel deserves so much more love bro, this video is amazing and theres so much i can personally relate to
keep up the great work
Yayyyy thanks so much!! Happy you can relate to my silly little videos
I can agree with you. I’m still young, but I’m terrified of growing up. Everybody just makes it seem so scary, like not having enough money for anything, endless work, taking care of children, and more. I just don’t look forward to growing up. I’m scared I’ll just have nothing when I move out…
Me too kid
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR
I can tell a lot of heart was poured into this video.
As I’ve aged, I’ve become more aware that you really do find happiness all within yourself. Life doesn’t get worse as you age, it only gets worse if you think it does.
That’s how I personally learned to “accept” as time passes.
that’s really interesting, maybe I will keep that in mind too :> thanks a bunch!
I would love to be how I am forever, but I know that with time, it cant be like how im living now
5:38 AAAAAALONEEEEE AT THE EDGE OF A UNIVERSE, HUMMING A TUNEEEEEEEE
this is amazingly well made and well written!!!
i really like this a lot 😄

I'm in High school and I'm so scared of growing up. This fear of growing up is so intense. But this video helped me to overcome this fear. Thank you so much 😊.
Love you homie good luck
I am glad you made a video on this, it can be real hard to move on sometimes, but you can only go forward. You are probably the most underrated youtuber I have come across so far!
thank you for your words and kind comment yayayayay
This is really relateable, and this is super well-made! Love this video.
thank you POGGERS
this is a freaking AMAZING video man. I'm 20 now, recently graduated from college and now in the workforce in my field. Trust me, I'm still trying to figure it all out, and I'm still very afraid of growing up. You absolutely nailed every single one of my various thought processes with different narratives throughout the video, and the general quality of it all is just phenomenal.
This is seriously one of my favorite videos on the internet. Incredible work
thanks!!! I'm glad to hear that :> I'm sure you'll figure it all out!!!
This is so good what the hell. Literally speechless
Thank you so much!!
well mr pig man that I found from a random video 8 months ago, it appears that you and i have quite the similiarities.
nobody really wants to grow up, and that includes me! i'm nervous for the future (don't even know what my major will be) and it's gonna be sad to leave my amazing family and friends on that fateful first day of college. i've been able to deal with it by doing a really cool maneuver called "never thinking about it"
as well, i believe it is really easy to fall into the "life is meaningless and just one big regret and everything sucks after childhood" rabbithole, but the way I get out of it is just by... not caring XD. I step back and think, "ah to hell with it, if I'm gonna die I might as well not spend it sulking"
but anyways, enough about me, THIS VIDEO WHAT IT "S SO GOOD AT PROTRAYING EMOTIONS AND STUFF AND I LOVE IT AMAINZG ANIMATION = 1001/10. a lot of videos on youtube or posts on the internet portray this fear in such a negative and nihilistic light, but the end part with your future self is something that almost no one talks about. the voice acting was great, the animation was smooth, the music was good, the whole video just felt... cozy? (probably the art style)
thanks for making a better video about a topic than anyone else ever could. I hope to see more of you in the future 😎or not idk
Happy Graduation, Matthew. :)
-random internet baylor mr. robinson guy from youtube comment
thank you for sharing your feelings and for your kind words!! happy you liked the video yay
finally got the time to watch this, great video as always! i really wish your videos got more recognition, love the messages behind them all, and they're super entertaining of course.
thanks a bunch!!!
This video really resonated with me a lot, you've made a fantastic video and I'm proud very of you, I wish you the best with your future and for that matter, everyone else's futures as well
thank you!
Hey pig! My older brother graduated 3 months ago, and he’s headed off to college in just a few weeks. I think he’s certainly nervous, everyone is when they graduate. I want to wish you good luck on whatever happens next, you’ll do great on it and just know we all support you.
thanks a bunch!
Oh my god, this has to be one of the greatest videos ive watched on youtube, honestly, i can also kind of relate to this, im 13, far from finishing school,, i think of the future, it always makes me excited yet, i feel dread. Time has always felt like an infinite hamster wheel but the inevitable ending terrifies me, what if everything comes crashing down for me in the future and for the rest of my life, i live in terrible conditions that will never get better, ill die unloved and uncared for. I think its just nice knowing that not everything is doom and gloom and to have a posotive outlook. there will be moments of sadness, rage, fear but we are only human, we share a this rock with 8 billion people, who also have goals and aspirations, and we are all uncertain for whats next. And thats okay.
Since 'Why i stopped trying' your videos have exploded in quality, you are actually making some of the greatest stuff ive seen on this platform,, and i hope you grow from here. i really am excited to see your next projects and i wish you the best.
thank you for your kind words!!!!! what you say about the future is exactly what I feel, but I know you'll figure it all out by the end :fire::fire:
absolutely fantastic video, the way you mixed humour into it made it feel like a more bearable issue to talk about without making it any less serious somehow (also i REALLY like the lighting in your art and it was particularly good in this video)
thank you I worked very hard on the lighting and the humor!!
I am still pretty young, so most of this stuff I can’t exactly relate to. However, sometimes I do also feel like when I’m old, I’m gonna have a hard time supporting myself and work minimum wage. But maybe life isn’t so bad after all, if you can make the best of it and try to do the things you want to do. I myself would call you pretty successful, Matthew, as even at such a young age you were able to make so many connections with so many people, and were able to collaborate to make a masterclass of a video. GL on your future endeavors 8)
thank you so much! it’s really nice being young, I hope you enjoy every second of it! 🔥
Can't believe I'm the reason you made this
Also going to college, moving in 9 days in fact, so yeah, this hits home. Just have solace knowing that everyone everywhere throughout history has felt like this. And never stop pursuing your passions because of some number. If ever you post one of these videos and the algorithm doesn’t treat it nicely, don’t become discouraged. With the insane amount of effort and sincerity and vulnerability poured into every one of your animations, you’re bound to find success in some artistic form. I believe.
that means a lot thank you!!
this one hits home fr 🔥
This video has made me realise that I've already had to grow up at 16 without me realising. I can't act like I used to anymore, I have more responsibilities than I could've ever imagined 8 months ago. I dropped out of Year 11 in June to do TAFE full time (TAFE is similar to junior college), and it's left me with so much more I need to do than I ever could at school. I love doing it, sure, but this is so much more than I have had to do and I'm not used to it.
I've never been afraid to grow up and I've always been excited for it but when it all came so suddenly it hit me like a tonne of bricks, and being hit by bricks hurts. I need to change myself a little bit, in ways I will hopefully one day know, but I'm lucky to have this and to have everything I want out of this course and out of my life so far, and I hope that this continues.
that’s really interesting to know, thanks for sharing! I wish you luck in the TAFE!!
(TLDR: Same)
I don’t usually have a chance to talk about the feelings I often hide from people, but this video felt very personal to me and was extremely touching, and it makes me feel a lot less alone.
I’m a sophomore in high school, so I guess I still have time not to worry about this. Despite that, I still have to get a driver’s license soon, and I have very little experience working, and don’t have much of an opportunity to find a job. I have trouble making friends in school because I have a huge fear of judgment, and I often feel like I’m not where I’m supposed to be, or at least, where everyone around me is.
My biggest fear about growing up is the fear that time can’t be my trusted friend, and fix the awkwardness that I face as I’m still going through adolescence. I believe that if I do everything correctly, things will slowly come into some sort of pattern that I can make sense of. But that’s based off the assumption that I can maintain my luck and not fail a class, or stop taking college courses, or lose my artistic inspiration. I tell myself that college will be a chance for me to start over socially, and I’ll be able to truly connect with other people once we’ve all went through saying goodbye to friends and family, and only have each other. But at the same time, I know getting over a fear is like an exercise, and it’s not going to go away or get any easier if I’m just in the same room with people I want to make friends with. Uncertainty is really frustrating, and I wish I could see my future self, doing well and starting to get a hang of adulthood.
I remember you talked about writing, and you wanted to have a career where you could express yourself and do what you enjoy. I do too, and I think that’s one reason why I connected with this video. This video in general hit hard though, and I think you went over every fear associated with growing up very effectively. I feel a lot better knowing that there’s someone else who understands how scary it is, and you ended off with a good message. It is hard to have no certainty of the future, but as long as it’s not a single person’s problem, we can all work together and find a solution.
No one can tell the future, and there is no knowing if we will get the hang of growing up. The best we can do is have faith and try. And as long as one does this, I feel like there’s no possible way they could look back on their life with regret.
If you read this all the way, you get one free hug :)

thank you for the comment and the hug!!! I am happy you could relate with this video, I wish you lots of luck for your future!!!
I relate so much to this video. Growing up is such a scary concept to me, and I don't know how anyone is able to manage it. This was really touching and incredibly high quality; I can't give enough praise. Good luck in your decisions and future endeavors. Whatever you do, don't forget that you are an incredibly cool and talented person, no matter what anyone thinks.
thank you so much! I know you'll grow up very well :fire:
I LOVE THIS (catch up arc)
Damn... I’m not gonna lie, this hit me like a truck. It’s probably safe to say that the fear of the unknown gets to us all.
In less than 6 months, I’ll be on my way to live all by myself with no family, no friends, without the comfort that is being at home and in a different country. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid because I’m absolutely terrified. But maybe that’s how it should be.
One year ago, I would have never even imagined life would go this way for me. We teenagers really love to make the process of growing up the antagonist of our youth, but most of the time it’s for the better, we just don’t know it yet.
I regretted many things in my short life and I’m definitely afraid to regret even more. Hell, sometimes, hopelessness spontaneously invades my brain but when you put some thought into it, you realize that It’s really easy to trick our brains to make our younger days feel the best, but doing so we make our present days look like a meaningless pile of trash.
I’ve learned that the process just requieres patience and a bit of carelessness to avoid thinking so much about it. This phase in life is present in everyone’s life after all and we will all look back at these days and probably think: “Yeah, it really wasn’t that big of a deal.”
I still have a lot to do and a lot to learn. Talent isn’t wasted because you didn’t make the most of it in your teens. The capability is always there. It’s up to us to decide what we want to do with it.
I found this video profoundly relatable, and it’s genuinely comforting to know that a lot of people like me are on the same page. Now, I must say that the work poured into it is beyond astonishing. I will definitely follow your channel closely and I’m eager to see what you’ll bring in the future! 😸

Wowza thank you for the thoughtful comment!!! This is what mister Tricky Gym has told me, to not worry too much about it, and right now I feel much better!!! I hope the next few years goes alright for you!!
@@pigchefer Ayy thanks man! I appreciate it! These thought-provoking videos of yours helped to clear my mind a bit! 😁I'm glad to hear Tricky Gym supports you! After all, he wasn't wrong, it really isn't that big of a deal!
lol I'm turning 18 next year and I still haven't decided much. glad to know others have this same feeling too
i just found this video and bro i relate so much, growing up is scary, whenever someone asks me what i want to do when i grow up i always just say "i dont know" cuz i genuinely dont, i have no idea what i want to do or what im gonna do when i grow up, its all so scary, i wish i could be a kid forever
Happy I am not the only one yay
this is one of my favorite videos ever
!!! it's an honor!
I see, that you have focused on sound effects and stuff. Nice to see that you're giving attention to it. Let's wait for the next upcoming video then :)
Well, about the Pokemons and their characters with voices matching it's music style is just beauty.
I thought you were talking about the videos I've been editing for Tricky Gym for a second and was afraid you were commenting on the wrong video hahaha
@@pigchefer Gotta check him out then.
I have also graduated this year aswell and I just went back to school because I am scared of choosing what to do. Will my parents like it, will I like it? Will I make good choices? CAN I make good choices? Things like this swirl around in my head at 18, but now I'm learning over the break that, I shouldn't really care about these things. Ofc I'm still scared and it's hard to choose, but with time I will find out. It's all a leap of faith essentially, no matter how corny it sounds, taking risks and living out life the best you can. Make decisions, make your parents happy, but most importantly just take the steps to get closer to that through your vision. I'm 18, and I'm glad to say this year will not be a waste.
yesss that's right!!! I wish you the best of luck with your future! :fire:
The animation is so good
thanks so much!
Haven’t watched it yet but I relate to this title so fucking much school is almost over for me and idk I’ve hated it a large portion of my life but now I miss it so much and idk how my life will be without it
hating school and missing it is the universal truth of education
Never can we suspend the time
Having to leave the track behind
There's a longer way to go
After all...
May you the beauty of this life always shine 💙
I really have no idea what to say after watching this, I was just kinda in shock seeing almost the exact thoughts I had word for word on the screen in front of me. Regardless of how this video does, I hope you realize just how talented you are and that there’s people with hundreds of thousands of subscribers who can’t even touch your level of quality.
Can’t wait to see what you do next dude.
thank you
i love this video. so much
PIGCHEFFER OMG IM SOOOO PROUD OF YOU MY FAV YTBER
thank you rabbit xoxo
Instantly subscribed
thank you so much!!!
i'm not even close to getting to that point, and i'm already scared of the future and have been for a while. im not really good at anything tbh, and i'll probably just end up working as a cashier or something but i hope i won't, and hopefully i'll actually find out something i'm good at. i mean i have a lot of time right?
you will do epically mister persom trust
It's sad to see the youtube algorithm causing the majority of your audience to be stuck in the GD space... this content is actually remarkable and very inspiring, whilst also discussing a lot of problems I myself come across. Although the fame or money isn't the point with a lot of these things, it would be nice for you to make some money, earn some subscribers off your extremely hard work and effort put into your videos. Thanks for making your content, and I hope you continue doing so.
goshhhh this is THE comment of all time thank you so much!!! yes I really am having that dilemma, because if only gd people click my videos, then UA-cam will be stuck in an unending cycle of my videos being only recommended to gd people, and then gd people clicking them, and so on. I'm happy you like what I do with my videos, and I do hope some monetary success comes someday! Some people were kind enough to join my channel memberships, and although it doesn't give me that much (I set it to $1 only LOL) I'm just happy people want me to continue doing this hehe For now I will definitely continue making videos, I have so many more ideas I wanna share!!!!
Awesome video :D
I can relate
3:48 HAWAII PART II SPOTTED
ALSO THE ANIMATION HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH!!
thanks I worked really hard on it!!!!
Great work!
🎉 happy birthday 🎂
i hope you have a good day maker of silly animation videos. maybe we can set something up sometime
good luck on future endeavors and life in general. You are a very cool person pig
I love you Thank you for letting me into your life 💖
Not looking forward to apps, I graduate next year, and I still have no idea what I wanna do and I constantly compare myself to more talented people than me like you, I feel like I have no worth and it’s really fucking me up, along with my grades being average everything feels like shit.
I compare myself to people all the time and I did not know what I wanted to do until junior year you will think of something!!!
@@pigchefer i hope so
LIVE IT LOVE IT BELIEVE IT ❤ Yea 😎
BRAVO
Great video. ❤❤
nooooo- i must send the moners
New video wooooo
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!1
Nice
3:48 IS THAT HAWAII PART II???
yes!!!
pigchefer is not in love with the concept..... of growing up
Cool lol
what video editor do you use, and is it approachable for beginners? i'm looking for something that can move stock images around and not much else. i'm using imovie and it literally cant put text in the video without some sort of long animation its ridiculous
all the programs I use are listed on the about section of my channel! but to put it briefly, I use davinci resolve and I learned it pretty quickly so yeah hehe
@@pigchefer thanks! I've heard that runs on Mac pretty well so that's good

true that!
Pigchefer if u want u can pass on the torch to me from 1 pig to another do be a good geomtry dash player so u can do ur own content
