    (I"m pretty bad at public/vocal speaking that sometimes I don't speak to the point where I forget how to speak properly, I'm sure when I start my channel ill get that issue fixed with myself however I can communicate or write/text in deep sentimental levels)
    I'v seen many 9-5's and the "start your youtube channels" genre however it isn't a real genre yet its definitely a damn wake up call and a really inspiring and creative one infact, 9-5's are truly miserable and I say this with very open mindfulness because sometimes there are those who only have their 9-5's for absolute survival or even those who have worse or horrifying jobs even the military. I'm even just 17 but I overthink so damn much and I'm actually worrying about money and questioning my productiveness, I feel anti social and I have anxiety but I wanna comment and give you encouragement because encouragement is really strong and even though I have no right in talking about discipline or even productiveness because trust me I'm probably lazy as hell and some basic gaming addict with a Mac and a phone
    My mom had a long talk with me because I'm also dealing with my existential crisis, feeling lost because I absolutely gave up doing my homework/REALLY want to drop out that's how much I hate it and realized its not even about "escape the matrix' its legit about actually having to survive literally and I know I'm running out of time with my decisions. Everyone has stakes and everyone has their dreams including mines but so is the cruel reality we live in and that's just another message of "everything will still be okay" at least I hope so...
    And my mom also talked to me about "discipline" but the way I see discipline (my opinion btw) when your striving towards something with your actions that doesn't cause you to feel enslaved and misery that makes you depressed that's definitely not even discipline at this point its torment. I see so much potential in you and your human just like all of us, most of us lack self love and some lack the ability to even decide what to do or are even just pure anxious and lazy/etc which are tragedies not something to make fun of no not at all. Discipline does fall in hand because It is also true we need it like what my mom said during those serious talks.
    I don't feel like a kid or even a adult but I always miss those simple times or that feeling of "freedom" I worked at McDonalds for over a year and there's absolutely no need to yap more or explain because Im sure people understand from every point of view wether a job helps them survive or such job makes people miserable and trapped. I get it and all I can say I'm trying to find my way as well despite all these hardships and everyone else who also tries to survive the harsh yet beautiful realities. For mines its 1500$ of rent per month at my apartment I live in that will raise every hundred the next year since I don't want my mom working in the uber like hell since I genuinely do worry for her while my school causes me to feel nihilism, pretty ironic system we live in.
    Hey man I'm also sorry if I had to yap or something I just wanted to be real and vulnerable for a moment to say there are many people going through things that often causes us to feel envy or disillusioned and its sad when the cruelty of the reality causes us to also be divided/isolated/misunderstood or even hate one another too
    all of our individual idea's/fantasies may be difficult to flourish into reality but with decent moral constant reminders of gratitude and positivity I'm sure in the end
    "everything will truly all be okay"
    So if you see this I'm here to say you got what it takes! Nobody can stop you and you are where you exactly need to be! Theres nothing wrong being petty in wanting to see the vast beauty of the world. I truly hope god bless all.

      Hear what I am telling you do not fear anything once you take control over your mind you can do anything life can be cruel but you can not let that make suffer however you can not avoid suffering let that help you grow as a person we all have story's to tell I rather take the risk end my fear just do it even if I don't feel like it. I don't want to be on my death bed thinking about what if I rather do it even if I fail I won't fail I'll keep going until I get it

    I’m curious to see if this actually works. I’m not doubting you in any way, but the way UA-cam brings up new creators has drastically changed and become extremely hard to climb without dedicating an irrational amount of time (or) money into some form of digital marketing scheme corporation thing.
