I don't think I've derived so much _comfort_ from a UA-cam video as much as Connor's... They're just the perfect mix of aesthetics and much needed life lessons. Much love 🤎
Why?… how?… I’m not saying it’s wrong to like him. Quite the opposite❤ I’m just saying I don’t see what aspect you’re actually deriving comfort from??? Connor it’s just a guy Vibing in his life. And life lessons? Uhhhh ¿qué?
i paused for a second when you said you are 31, then i remembered i am also no longer the teenager who used to watch you to feel safe! for some reason this time, being "old" didn't make me feel sad
Time goes by faster than we sometimes realize! Seems like when we worry about the passage of time, it just intensifies the speed it is going. Be happy with everything and everyone around you. That way you can enjoy your life as much as possible without being concerned about time.🎉😮😊
My best experiences by FAR are spontaneous and diving into the unknown. As a person who loves to plan every bit of my life, I love this reminder to embrace uncertainty a bit. It helps me be more creative and develop more poetic thoughts
i can't thank connor enough for everything that he has done for me in the past 10 years, i remember being 12 and only watching your videos, everytime you uppload a video gives me a kind of nostalgia that i cannot describe at all, i just feel it
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I am so tired of seeing everyone around me, and those I love always scrambling for their phones. I get it I suppose, but it makes me sad. This video was such an affirmation and a comfort; thank you Connor. You have completely redefined “let life happen” for me- what a beautiful sentiment it can be 💛
Here's a deeper level for you. When you asked them to describe the sunset. Ask them how the sunset made them feel. What was in their heart at the time when they seen the sunset. Not just the colors but the emotions❤❤❤
That hit hard on what I was thinking about these days. Finding interest and comfort in the mystery, in the discovery process... something I was always afraid of, but now it is becoming a part of me. ✨️
I feel like i could talk about this subject for literal hours, also would love to hear more about what you have to say about it connor. Yearning gang all rise!! :)
I have generalized anxiety disorder and it's very hard to not plan everything like you mentioned. I totally agree that my best memories are the ones when things were done and experienced at random with no planning. Will meditate on this ^^ thank you!
Appreciate how honest you always are in your videos. I havent posted on ig because ive just been in the moment and i think that is important to remember to. Be present.
this is incredibly thoughtful - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! i'm also a young creator (just started less than a month ago) trying to navigate lessons in my 20s. sometimes it feels like there's too much going on at once; sometimes not enough. but you're spot on - let life happen.
I have watched your videos so long. I can't believe you're 31 years old it seems like maybe a few weeks ago I saw your first video. And you have grown so much and became so much deeper❤❤❤❤❤
one of my most fond and fun memories is when we randomly went and explored this strange lane that we never went in. Later found a bunch of puppies at the end of it.. god we laughed so much ❤️
I like what you said about focusing more on the moment instead of immediately pulling out your phone to record or take a picture of that moment, as well as asking a friend to describe their vacation first before showing any photographs. In this age of media bombardment, where everything must be digitized, everything must be shared to acquire "likes", and everything must happen quickly, there is an absolute beauty in just letting things... be. I've made it a point for years to not take videos of that gorgeous sunset, to not photograph every amazing cloud formation I see, and to just enjoy for myself that bed of flowers blowing in the wind. I think about the people who lived here before and how they had no means of sharing anything except through stories and songs. There's a truth in the phrase "stop and smell the roses", because there's nothing more beautiful about a beautiful moment than simply relaxing in it and soaking in the reality of just being. Thanks for sharing your introspective thoughts. I always enjoy them.
I've been known you since 2016 and here I am in my mid twenties enjoying your videos as always ❤ you're such a wonderful and calming person ❤❤❤ I'm so grateful for the memories that I've had with you ( I even bought one of your books " Work on progress " 😢 but unfortunately the others unavailable in my country I wish I have them to support you more.
I love this. ❤ 7 years ago, you made a video called I've Run Out Of Ideas, and it had something about it that just had me hooked. I didn't know back then that today, I'd still stumble back to it sometimes, and it's still one of those little things that bring me joy and inspire me when I want to look at things from a different creative perspective. I can't even imagine what it feels like for you to look back at it. But even though the past, which was once an uncertain future, is now certain - lovely little things to look back at like that make me even more excited about the uncertainty of the future. Let's see what we stumble over today that inspires us in the future. Let's see what mystery the next years may bring 🥰
“Prepare, prepare, and prepare some more, but you cannot predict the future and you never will be able to. Tomorrow will continue to remain unknown, and in that mystery, I think that that’s where the joy is , that’s where the excitement occurs, and that that’s where the memories are made.” I need this plastered somewhere in some form in some part, incredible.
This is genuinely one of the best videos and topic you share with us. Thank you Connor for this and for sharing your thoughts and feelings about "lack of mystery" in our lives nowadays. I do feel similar about it and I am trying to make spontaneous plans as I call them - know where I want to go and what to achieve but I always take some wrong/different turns to enjoy "the road" towards those goals more. And I absolutely agree about the sunset. Watch it and enjoy it rather than record it. Lots of hugs
Happy to see you, Connor! I missed you very much. Been a long while since I’ve watched your videos. Not gonna lie… this hit me, hard. Not sure why exactly. But made me realize a good few things I suppose, especially about myself and my mental health. Needless to say, thank you for everything you do. You are a very special soul. Inside and out. I love you. We love you. So many people love you.
This is exactly what I've been feeling, everything is recorded, answered, googled and I am so guilty of it since becoming an adult... I used to just rock up without even checking the internet or a phone.. definitely why I remember being a teen more than any of memories since becoming 20 only 5 years back
Connor, gah... thank you. so many thoughts after this video man. gonna go on a little ramble in the comments 😅 years ago my mum pointed out my sudden lack of curiosity - where previously I would've conversed and pondered, I newly googled... not much else. being curious is also slowing down, allowing time for thought and appreciation, not just an exchange of information. I have a favourite quote that softly soothes me through life: "there are some flowers you only see when you take detours." so whether things go wrong or you don't something different and new, don't worry - there are some things you'd only see and appreciate by taking that different path 💜
As someone who also is drawn to order and organizing, you’re articulating a desire I’ve been having but wasn’t able to understand well until now. I’m desiring the unknown - love this, Connor :) best of luck on your yearning adventure as it unfolds!
I havent even watched the video but how is it that your videos and your book just... vibe. Like you have such a unique way of communicating through word, spoken and written, video, photography. It's so uniquely Connor. I just adore you.
I kinda feel and understand what you mean by that. My co-workmates and I planned out a trip to Vietnam before the pandemic happened and I was one of those who did all of the research about where to go, what cafes to try, where to walk - literally I walked on Google Earth to measure the distance and track how many hours it would take us from point A to point B. When we arrived in Ho Chi Mihn, there was no magic in me, it was my first time being out of the country. Every nook, every street we've been through they were all amazed and astounded. But for me, I was already there virtually one month ago. It was no surprise. So that's when I learned that too much knowledge is boring. The next travel I got was in Taipei, I didn't plan except for plane tickets and accommodations same thing as what you did on your Australia trip...and that Trip to Taiwan was the most life changing. I couldn't stop talking about it whenever I had the chance to bring it up. Yep, this vlog sparked away my thoughts.
well, this made me cry :,) you're so right. i stress a lot about turning my life into exactly what i envision the ideal version to be. but when i reflect on the past, i realize the most unexpected things that sort of came out of left field have also always been the most beautiful and transformative. it's a good thing to note for the future :)
I've missed you Connor! I always learn from you and you're so inspiring. I unfortunately naturally feel isolated from the world sometimes and you always bring me happiness when I'm in a dark place. Thank you for all you do! Keep it up!😄
Thank you for inspiring me to let life happen. As someone who always picks the same options at restaurants, someone who looks up everything because i anxiously overplan,... i really needed to hear this
See the thing with the sunset spoke to me. I’ve always felt that way about looking up at the sky and looking at the stars. The photo won’t do it justice. Yet we try to capture it and at the same time miss the beauty of it. We loose experiences in order to create content for other people.
Glad to see you're doing well. When I was in college (geeze, this is like 10 years ago), I thought you were absolutely beautiful and funny. Keep it up man, and we subscribers always got your back :)
As someone who struggling today with feelings of overwhelm of having so much unknown and uncertainty in my life at the moment, I found this video so comforting and uplifting. Thank you for sharing!
What are the bedsheets? I can feel the softness through the screen. Or maybe I shouldn’t know that. Maybe I should go to the store and find bedsheets that would fit me by myself on my own. Let’s embrace the uncertainty.
omg! i remember going to the movies as a kid and choosing what to see from the posters outside! nowdays we just google it and we already know everything about it BEFORE watching! that’s it! you just told me what was missing… thank you!
i think it's nice putting your phone down for experiencing things for once but also not think about it too much, like it's nice to have a million sunset photos because it shows that tou still care for the world around so much that you wanna keep these moments forever, you don't have to you could just enjoy it but ya know
This is hit me like a cold shower on a hot summer day. I totally agree, in most scenarios, life is better enjoyed, remembered and learned when experienced instead of finding out beforehand😌 Thank-you, Connor, for the lesson and have a nice week😊
thank u Connor ❤ last year of college and job searching has been tough it’s rough trying to trust the process as an anxious girly but this makes it better
missing you, connor! this came at an oddly specific time where I feel like I’m reaching the middle of adulthood - I’m turning 24 soon and lately I’ve been reminiscing about life and trying to practice stillness and a calm state of being amidst adulting and growing up, taking on bigger responsibilities. nothing happening doesn’t mean it’s bad or unhappy, it’s simply a state where we use to reflect and recharge ourselves. sometimes, the best days are the ones where I remember doing something spontaneous and just seeing where the day goes! I call them happy mini surprises ❤
You always post when I most need to hear something especially in everything you said and I’m yearning to do more on🩷 thank you so much Connor, my comfort person!!!
I feel as though Connor is one of very few who is actually qualified to make this statement. He has lived with "the online" and was so immersed in it that his opinion on being offline and it's importance is so much stronger. Loved this.
I don't think I've said this here but you've been my teenage years, Connor! You've always been such an inspiration to me, and now that I'm in my early 20s, I'm so grateful to all the beautiful moments that I've had binge-watching your videos!! ❤❤
My favourite way of dealing with this was quitting social media. Like since I don't have instagram or tiktok anymore, I don't see what my friends are posting so rather than knowing what they are doing from a parasocial experience, I get to hear it directly from them telling me about it.
I love this so much. Especially as someone who is slowly moving into youtube and wanting to vlog a lot, I think it's beneficial to remember this. I've already gotten to a point where I pull my phone out to record everything now, and I have to remind myself that I don't want to forget what it's like to just BE [in the moment]. Thank you for this!
got robbed two days ago and this is the only thing that has soothed the pain of the situation obviously being mugged isn't something i planned on or wanted to happen but because it did i have very much adapted to the philosophy that as messed up as all this has been i'm still alive and physically unharmed... it sucks to lose my phone , charger , powerbank and airpods but the bigger lesson here is health is everything and so is personal safety.. i will be okay i can replace what was taken with time, i can't replace being alive tho... life is a gift.. let life happen good or bad right...
I agree, I went to Bangladesh about 15yrs ago - only had my dumb brick phone on me and Facebook wasn't really a thing let alone all of the other stuff.. Best time of my life. I stayed for 2yrs and I wish I had never come back.
i usually don't check my subscription box anymore but i'm glad i did rn. i've been thinking about this a lot more than usual lately. i have this thing where i've seen sooooo much of everything on social media while being housebound for a long time, so now there's this idea in my head that once i do get out and am able to build a life for myself it'll feel medicore. because i've already seen it a million times on social media. thinking about my future scares me because what if when i finally get to all these moments i've been waiting years and years and years for are just meh when they happen. what if nothing is ever good or exciting enough anymore since i know all of it? it's horrifying tbh
I never actually thought about this weird phenomenon that we had adapted. And you're so right about it. Life without a sprinkle of mistery is just much less interesting, I think. Oof, I love this content so much! ❤
At 31 I wonder where all those minutes went. What is ahead and when will I look back again and say where have all those minutes gone. You are one of the few people I can relate to ❤
All of this is so true. And we seek the mystery in literature and media, yet we find those mediums the same way we find everything. Google, TikTok… everything is summarised, everything is reviewed, recommended, suggested. We fear the unknown in a new way.
uh oh, he's back and he's yearning again!!
OUR CHICKPEA DAD!!!
Gay Power ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
we love to see it
Can we yearn together?!
Quoi?
I don't think I've derived so much _comfort_ from a UA-cam video as much as Connor's... They're just the perfect mix of aesthetics and much needed life lessons. Much love 🤎
this is so sweet of you to say, thank you !

pushulation
I love love love how this message is ‘let life happen’ as in don’t live in fear of the unknown & not ‘let life happen’ as in don’t set long-term goals
It’s hard not to fall into the latter.
i paused for a second when you said you are 31, then i remembered i am also no longer the teenager who used to watch you to feel safe!
for some reason this time, being "old" didn't make me feel sad
Time goes by faster than we sometimes realize! Seems like when we worry about the passage of time, it just intensifies the speed it is going. Be happy with everything and everyone around you. That way you can enjoy your life as much as possible without being concerned about time.🎉😮😊
‘Note to self’ vibes..love this epiphany 💛
The little sway of the camera in the overhead shots is very comfy. Like when someone rocks during a hug
♥♥♥
The intro is so nice and gives asmr. I tears up for someone reason
fun fact: there are about 8 layers of different sounds in that intro :)
It’s good to know that I am not alone thinking about these stuff all by myself.
this channel is my comfort place, and has been like that for years
thank you, connor
♡
happy to keep the peace ♥
My best experiences by FAR are spontaneous and diving into the unknown. As a person who loves to plan every bit of my life, I love this reminder to embrace uncertainty a bit. It helps me be more creative and develop more poetic thoughts
this is like a positive troII😂
You get a like my friend ❤
i can't thank connor enough for everything that he has done for me in the past 10 years, i remember being 12 and only watching your videos, everytime you uppload a video gives me a kind of nostalgia that i cannot describe at all, i just feel it
this brought a smile to my face, thank you!
Love these video essays 😭😭
thank you! at the moment, it feels like the most genuine content i can produce, so I'm testing out the method and seeing what comes from it :)
Much love Connor and you are hitting my life chaos right in the feels lol.
good 😍
i miss getting this feeling of introspection and connection, glad the videos are back my love
happy to provide the spark!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I am so tired of seeing everyone around me, and those I love always scrambling for their phones. I get it I suppose, but it makes me sad. This video was such an affirmation and a comfort; thank you Connor. You have completely redefined “let life happen” for me- what a beautiful sentiment it can be 💛
I love the food for thought you always provide
Living in the moment instead of taking a photo of “it” to enjoy later. Takes a lot of willpower and self awareness.
I’d like that
as always Connor…when most needed, thank you ❤
♥♥♥
Here's a deeper level for you. When you asked them to describe the sunset. Ask them how the sunset made them feel. What was in their heart at the time when they seen the sunset. Not just the colors but the emotions❤❤❤
exactlyyy
i think because we're so afraid of losing memories, we try to record all memories and in return, we lose actual memories.
this is a beautiful take. it comes from a place of closeness and connection, for sure.
I enjoyed this video. Hope you're safe over there right now with all the rain!!
That hit hard on what I was thinking about these days. Finding interest and comfort in the mystery, in the discovery process... something I was always afraid of, but now it is becoming a part of me. ✨️
ugh I love your videos. Like a warm hug
This is so refreshing and beautiful, missed you Connor!
this video found me at a good time :) always appreciate the wisdom 💛
I feel like i could talk about this subject for literal hours, also would love to hear more about what you have to say about it connor. Yearning gang all rise!! :)
thank you for this video. I love the way you explain your thoughts
i love these videos of yours now. no pressure but keep it comingggg
I have generalized anxiety disorder and it's very hard to not plan everything like you mentioned. I totally agree that my best memories are the ones when things were done and experienced at random with no planning. Will meditate on this ^^ thank you!
Connor's videos are like a nice cup of tea with your breakfast. It makes you feel cozy, but it gets you ready for the day on a good note ❤
this is such a nice compliment, wow 😭
Your videos are poetry in motion: Some epics, some limericks and some pretty verses ❤
You’ve always been a comfort UA-camr and I think you’re my favorite 😂❤️
Appreciate how honest you always are in your videos. I havent posted on ig because ive just been in the moment and i think that is important to remember to. Be present.
this is incredibly thoughtful - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this! i'm also a young creator (just started less than a month ago) trying to navigate lessons in my 20s. sometimes it feels like there's too much going on at once; sometimes not enough. but you're spot on - let life happen.
Thank you Connor ❤ Perfect timing as always with your wisdom
I have watched your videos so long. I can't believe you're 31 years old it seems like maybe a few weeks ago I saw your first video. And you have grown so much and became so much deeper❤❤❤❤❤
I find it comforting that some of us feel the same way in different parts of the world! Makes me feel like we're all in this together🎶
one of my most fond and fun memories is when we randomly went and explored this strange lane that we never went in. Later found a bunch of puppies at the end of it.. god we laughed so much ❤️
Beautifully said.

I agree, I went to Bangladesh about 15yrs ago - only had my dumb brick phone on me and Facebook wasn't really a thing let alone all of the other stuff.. Best time of my life. I stayed for 2yrs and I wish I had never come back.
Most lessons from life. Live it
I've been following you for years and still love your videos and your personality (at least the one you show here) Thanks Connor, you are awesome :)
♥♥♥
OMG I’ve been dying for a Connor chit chat I’ve missed you just talking about you and us
I went backpacking back in the pre-smartphone days, and there was a lot more getting lost and enjoying it. Knowing we would inevitably get lost.
You dropped this 👑

i usually don't check my subscription box anymore but i'm glad i did rn. i've been thinking about this a lot more than usual lately. i have this thing where i've seen sooooo much of everything on social media while being housebound for a long time, so now there's this idea in my head that once i do get out and am able to build a life for myself it'll feel medicore. because i've already seen it a million times on social media. thinking about my future scares me because what if when i finally get to all these moments i've been waiting years and years and years for are just meh when they happen. what if nothing is ever good or exciting enough anymore since i know all of it? it's horrifying tbh
I never actually thought about this weird phenomenon that we had adapted. And you're so right about it. Life without a sprinkle of mistery is just much less interesting, I think. Oof, I love this content so much! ❤
you're so right!
At 31 I wonder where all those minutes went. What is ahead and when will I look back again and say where have all those minutes gone. You are one of the few people I can relate to ❤
just found this channel! (something tells me im late). you give me so much peace and comfort, kinda feels like having an older brother :)
All of this is so true. And we seek the mystery in literature and media, yet we find those mediums the same way we find everything. Google, TikTok… everything is summarised, everything is reviewed, recommended, suggested. We fear the unknown in a new way.
crying and sobbing I feel like the end of cmbyn dad speech at the end
