Love this story!! Combining life philosophy with the story from Albania was brilliant. Are we getting Amor Fati tattooed next or what?
Yes! So genius!!
Yess
Nathaniel: Definitely maybe
Bet you $100 won’t do it with me
Nathaniel has been YES-THEORIED!! :-D
I know your probably not gonna see this. But at the moment I am 12 years old and you are my role model. When I am older I want to be like you and my dad, travel the world and learn about culture. What I’m trying to say is at the moment I am teaching myself German 🇩🇪 and your videos are so inspiring and are encouraging me to learn even more. 😂. Can people blow this up so Nathaniel can see 😂
keep going!! don't ever lose that spark :)
@@user-ow7bi3se2b 😊
Aw man, this comment made me smile i wish you the best in life und viel gluck mit deiner Deutsch :)
@@PerpetualPerspective danke schön
Good luck!!

ouu excited to see the rebrand of the channel! congrats on a new chapter :)
Leah ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Yup!!
Love your work Leah
i like when you speak italian that you also immitate the gestures with your hands lmao
I like that too lol
He is really committed
Amor Fati - love your fate, even the sour bits because they balance out the sweet.
Nathaniel's videos are just pure gold every single time, so much value, and more importantly, every video is so "Nathaniel style" if you get hahahaha, it's just so original. Keep creating Nathaniel!

*“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending...”*
*―C. S. Lewis*
This sounds a lot like surrendering to the flow of life. A spiritual concept of non-resistance. It really is one of the highest practices. We can't always control the situations life gives us but we can control our reactions to them. I dig it, Nathaniel!
Someone has just put Albania on their list of countries to visit👀
I'm 60, and I really love your videos. Wish I was where you are at now, when I was your age! You really are an old soul, young man 💖Vini, Vidi, Vici! That should be your motto 😉
I am so impressed with your Albania trip storytelling. I would love if you continued exploring the Balkans/Eastern Europe. So little is explored in this region of the world that is ripe w history and culture 😊
Everything gets more beautiful when you play Clair De Lune in the background
Nathaniel you are my inspiration.
Every one told me about how introvert I am. But deep down i am always like to travel and have love for different languages.
And you made me to believe that how amazing is to be an introvert.
The joy I feel when you upload video is immeasurable. Thank you Nathaniel
I could imagine this guy being the best grandpa tellin his kids about his adventures experiences and life lessons !
Your abstrakt and big wording at the end reminded me of an Anne of Green Gables/ Anne with an e quote:
"People laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas you have to use big words to express them, haven’t you?"
please don's stop. you are such an inspiration for me. thank you for everything you are doing.
First Pick Up Limes and now Yes Theory?! I need to know who your other YT friends are so I can go watch them too! Great video; I'm excited to see what's to come, whatever that is.
I love 'Amor Fati" so much. It could not have come at a more perfect time.
"The vehicle, that I´m in - my human body."
Wow, i loved that!
Nathaniel seems to me the definition of an 'old soul'; a deep thinker, introspective, empathetic and always learning. I love following his journey through these videos.
You seem so much more happy in your more recent videos. Its really inspiring honestly.
I AM ALBANIA AND I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU SHOWED THE COUNTRY IN THIS BEAUTIFUL LIGHT AND VIDEO
Nathan, I follow a lot of channels on UA-cam and I do watch a few folks regularly but you're the only one with whom I connect with. Like we're an extension of each other, if that makes sense. Thank you for making these videos. I really hope to meet you someday and get to know the guy behind the camera as well. All the best man ❤️
A new chapter in your life im happy for you ,you have help me grow thank you so much
Nathaniel, I really want you to know that you've inspired so many of us to focus on being more intentional, kind, and going one day at a time. You're a great storyteller! Lots of love. 🌻
Minute 5:23... "attachment is what brings unhappiness, getting locked into a specific outcome" THAT. IS. IT. This applies to everything! relationships, career, life goals and expectations...
Comfort is the enemy of growth. So glad to see youtubers not afraid to break out of old ways of doing things. Mad respect!
Rewatching this every now and then, and getting to see how my relationship with life has changed/softened. Thank you Nathaniel! :)
This is really inspiring. I loved it when you said "this is out of character for me", its really cool to see you out of character and just living life, and seeing you exciting over a man that invites you some coffee, or nervous about your first tattoo, etc. It´s just you living in the moment.
Oh, I can relate so much to your spur in the moment tattoo. I got my first tattoo exactly the same way - it was a one day visit in Amsterdam on my journey and I fell in love with the city right away. It was one of the most joyful and enriching days in my life. When I passed a tattoo salon i knew deep down in my heart and soul that I need to capture this day somehow and that if I don’t do it, I will regret it forever. Before this trip, I’ve thought about getting one, but I’ve never had the strong feeling “okay, now” and “okay, this one” - I would have got one simply from boredom which is not an enough reason for me. I love the tattoo - not simply because of the principle that a few simple lines on my wrist means something to me (which they do), but because I have a connection to that day, to that feeling. Something that is purely mine, that others doesn’t have to understand or know. Yes, it is scary to do such a big decision in one quick moment. But I think we always know straight away what is worth it and what isn’t. Can’t wait for your new chapter and thank you for giving me a new feeling - excitement before a new unknown journey :)
4:11 so beautiful when the lights go on!!
I really like the way your channel is changing. You seem happier now:)
So often we humans get stuck trying to find a way out of the chaos of this world. But isn´t the unexpectet what makes life beautiful? I feel like your videos portrait the idea of "amor fati" really well!
This shift in your view of life is inspiring for me. Watching your videos is always special.
I think its so incredible that we have been on this planet for so long, with thinkers like Plato, Hume, Kant spreading their thoughts and now we are able to learn and grow with a new generation of Philosophers, such as Nathaniel Drew, showing us that philosophy is very much still thriving and alive. It's amazing to see how you manage to inspire so many people and engage the them by simply speaking your mind. You're phenomenal.
Talking of Latin phrases here's one of my favourite "Audentes fortuna iuvat"
Absolutely loved this!
Do whatever you want brother, you're a seriously inspiring person, you've gotten so many people to wanna explore the world, including me. Good luck
Nathaniel, I’ve followed you for little over 2 years now (originally because I was learning Italian!) and you’ve become one of my biggest role models in life. Your message resonates with my every time and I’m grateful to be connected with you. You’ve made me push boundaries of growth I never would have questioned before. Much love e grazie mille caro
Life is so full of bad decisions. We shouldn't see them as bad decisions. Fear shouldn't hold us back. It's as if fear tears pages out of our life book. Loved the video. 🌻 Everything that happens to us happens and guides us for a reason. We are where we are in life for a reason.
Philosophy + spirituality + realism is how I've personally been wanting to live life recently. So much in life is straightened out for you once you set yourself a clear vision and understanding of what life is and how you want your life to be. Also making sure that the process of getting to that point isn't influenced by unprocessed emotions within the body is sooo important.
Loved especially the last part of this video! Excited for change!
That ending!!
*Most people sit around and wait for inspiration, just some rare people get up and get to work.*
*I may not know you personally, but I believe in you that you will succeed!* 🙏
I live for this videos, they just fill me with inspiration, much love to you Nathaniel, I wish I can meet you one day
I now love the concept and life ways of AMOR FATI
Nathan this is awesome. as a flight attendant I feel you on all levels, especially due to the "you know what" ( i was furloughed but luckily back to flying now) keep sharing!
You are sooo honest with your subscribers 👏
the crazy scientist/artist vibes are wonderful! I love to see another person from the US that has a deep hunger to see the world from other perspectives.
mental clarity comes when you forget about the pursuit and just live/experience the world around you
This was so great. I was recently surprised by me getting a tattoo. I walked away feeling like "wow...I did that". So nice to see your growth and willingness to get out of your own way. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
I love this channel because my mind works a lot like Nathaniel's does. These videos (and yes theory) have helped keep me grounded in my core values while I navigate a corporate job that just feels so meaningless to me. I need these videos to remind me of life's bigger picture. A resounding thank you to you, Nathaniel. Much love.
ah i’ve been watching you for two years. and the changes you’ve been making in your videos excite me so much. i’m trying to do the same in a way. over attachment to outcomes have been something that’s really hurt me in the past. it’s caused me a lot of anxiety over the years. i’m really trying to calm down and enjoy what’s here and be excited for the unknown. i really love the idea of surprises. i know i need to face my fears and stop staying in my comfort zone. anyways i’m excited for this next chapter and to experience the ongoing journey of wherever it’ll take us.
Can't wait for the next chapter ! Honestly in the spirit of "amor fati" , your story somehow was always evolving in the same direction as my life and my personnel revelations and discoveries, and i always enjoyed the content you brought up because it added another layer of thought and perception into what was going on on my life. And i'm very thrilled to see that happen again in the future. Good luck Nathaniel !
Hello 👋
Firstly I would like to thank you for making your UA-cam channel and sharing with us your ideas, experiences, thoughts and feelings with us. You are always open with us on what you are planning and explaining things in a ways that we could understand your concept and ideas.
Secondly, I found your channel in a really difficult time in my life. I was lost, and didn't know what I wanted out of this life that I have been blessed with. I had to make one of the biggest choice that a person can make. Watching a couple of your videos about Journaling, answering questions, finding who I am. Little by little my anxiety grew and so did my stress but after listening to your words. Things started to click together. I was still worried but unlike before. This also inspired me to start looking at life in a different view and to find ways of improving my life style. I am still not sure about what my purpose is but one thing for sure I do know that enjoying every moment in the present and accepting things as they come without having this huge worry about tomorrow. Life become lighter and content was found. Finding happiness in the little moments helps.
Thirdly, I am an avid traveller. Always hopping from one place to the other but never staying there for too long. Mostly a few days. Your videos made me realise that I wasnt experiencing the true culture of the country and the idea of slow travelling was fascinating. And so was the concept on finding true fulfillment and peace in life.
Fourthly, never knew that two of my favourite channels would make a video together this was a nice surprise.
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this and thank you again for making your videos. Really I can't thank you enough. Have a good day!
i cant believe ive been watching ur videos for like 3 years now basically since i started college and honestly they're always a highlight of my day cant wait to see whats to come!!
You are just 23 and what you have achieved and discovered is amazing. The way you create, the way you talk and express your thoughts and emotions is astonishing! Bravo!
I started my first job ever this week, and everything in this video was exactly what I needed to hear to get me through it. Thank you for posting this
Such an amazing story Natz💕🙏!! Thank you for sharing your stoic journey. I've started my stoic journey at the middle of 2020 when my world was falling apart. So i can fully relate to your experience with embracing life as it happens. I wish you all of the best for your journey bud! 💚💚💚 much love from South Africa🇿🇦!!
Amor fati has been popping up in my life a lot these days, specially because stoicism has become something essencial to me, and, even though I know this video isn’t that new, it fit perfectly at this time of my life, so I’m kinda glad I waited up until now to watch it, and it was such an amazing experience, as it always is with everything you create. And congrats on your portuguese citizenship, btw! I know how huge it is! ❤️
Thank you. I really needed to hear this today. Wishing you all the best on the continuation of your journey. Happy growing / evolving!
I’ve also been thinking about this recently, Nathaniel - and I think there’s something so humbling about embracing whatever life has to offer instead of trying to control and master it. Such a huge change to how I used to think! Thanks for articulating this better than I could ever!
Everytime I watch Nathaniel I feel so inspired to write. I do feel like I am always fighting my life and most what it gave me lately, thank you for sharing ^^
I’ve found amor fati very helpful. I’m 65 and over the past few years have changed enormously, (for the better), you carry on learning and growing your whole life, though I wish I’d discovered as much as you have at your age. I watched Yes Theory’s film yesterday and enjoyed both as you offered very different perspectives, thankyou.
You're journey is so incredibly inspiring Nathaniel, thanks for sharing it!
The last few minutes of this video gave me goosebumps… I’m so grateful I came across your channel over a year ago and being able to see you live with the phrase amor fati in real time excites me to also live my life that way. Wishing you a beautiful journey ahead! :)
really love this saying, amor fati. and so important to hold close as life flows how it goes. hell yea for seeking discomfort and doing what you want to do, staying true to yourself.
I love the philosophy of life that you share in your videos, it always makes me think and kinda change my perspective in a positive way. Your videos literally keep me grounded and bring peace to my life.
best birthday present😩 thank you Nathaniel
I'm here for the tat, algorithm and you Nathaniel! This gotta be one of my fave episodes in your channel!
This was what I needed.
Maybe in a few years it will change again, but I needed to hear this concept. I've been through a lot as a person, and I've done all that I can to heal from those wounds. In that process, I find myself removed from the world. Removed from the pressure the world usually exerts on me. To find a good job, to find a partner, etc.
I walked away from it all, and found a relative peace. Yet, in that peace, I found no answers as to what to do with myself.
And then this video shows up. Love of fate, Love what happens to you.
I was waiting for that external pressure to tell me what to do. It's how I lead my life for the past 28 years. I always balanced that negative pressure with sheer will.
Yet, I never really consider letting my love for what is to guide me. To let myself pave the way with the beauty I see around me. To let life do as it will, and I'll love it just the same.
I've always wanted passion to guide me. I've always wanted to become my own dreams, and as a result, I never really let myself love what was in front of me. Love what I've been. Love what I am.
Amor Fati.
Its such a joy for me watching your content
Thank you! Every video leaves such a wise piece of eternity of life inside me❤️ Please, discover more⭐️
I think it's very interesting, because I feel for me searching for defining myself has kind of ended it accepting the continuous change. Following my gut has been unpredictable, but it never results in feelings of regret. Looking forward to see what this next chapter for you will look like!
I love these videos, man. They almost always give me that feeling of adventure; and now I want to spend a summer in Europe…
Memento mori; amor fati
You’re a wonderful person. Many people come to this philosophy after a loss of a loved one or after failing completely / enduring shame. Impressed that you have gotten here at such a young age.
You said absolutely correctly that attachments always bring sufferings. It is exactly what yoga philosophy teaches us. The less attachments you have, the happier and freer you are. Thank you for your content. It's amazing!
literally had the thought last night of how long it’s been since we had a new video from you and then BAM my day has been made by this. grateful for the reminder to stop overthinking and to focus on the experiences.
these videos really almost leave me thinking into myself, your work is a sign of a true artist, thank you
Through years in life you helped me, be it way of thinking, planning or learning languages. After so many positive changes it feels great to know its only the beggining. Thank you for being you and keep going! Hello from Russia)
Another beautiful video! Thanks so much for making this Nathaniel - really appreciate you sharing your art and thoughts
Self-actualization and self-realization seem to have no end. I think the worst mistake people make is thinking at any point that they've 'made it' when in reality the process really never ends.
I love how your videos are more about travel and language learning. So excited for the evolution of your channel!
Loved this video! I visited Albania myself recently and this video really captured and explained alot of the feelings, emotions and experiences that I had whilst over there. Albania is a truly beautiful place, with beautiful people and amazing culture! I couldn't have explained it better myself. Amor Fati 🙏
Absolutely insane seeing the transformation from mental clarity to amor fati!! So dope. Appreciate you and your content
Great I am from Albania, hope you enjoyed my country
Love your content! Huge fan! The way you build stories, beautifully edited....and the motion design is sweet! My eyes thank you!
The way that this embodied what I'm going through in my own life!
Genuinely gasped when you first mentioned you got a tattoo. That's amazing!
seriously one of the the most inspiring channels and people on youtube
Glad to see a youtuber I follow that goes to my country and does a tattoo.
When they ask you about the tattoo you will remember us :)
Respekt
Love you man, i know those are strong characters but I think you've changed my life, thank you. I will watch anything you create, thank you.
it hurts me how deeply i feel like i can relate to you...
also, whenever you decide to visit another country, Brazil would welcome you with open arms ❤️
I've been watching you for some time and I decided to resubscribe because I can see that you aren't holding anything back now. It's a very interesting shift that's happening with many people right now..
It's been so good to work together on this one dude!!! :)
Brilliant as always Nathaniel! The personal collabs are also super well integrated!
I genuinely love your choice of tattoo. Uruz (to me) speaks to the unbridled and wild nature of ox. I use it for myself when I wish to live life richly and with vivacity. To remember that I am not tamed or overly rooted. I can move and change and run anytime I want - and isn’t that beautiful. I loved this video and thank you for sharing this moment ✨
Can't believe how inspiring your journey has been to me, Nathaniel! We're the same age and I also got my first tattoo this year, right when I started a journey as a traveler and digital nomad, following the flow of my heart and my travels without worrying that much about expectations or strict plans. This tattoo reminds me of the amor fati mindset! Totally in the same flow. Thanks for keeping inspiring me. Hope to meet you in person somewhere in the world soon!
I found you when watching a Pick up Limes video and I am just mesmerized with you and the content you are creating! I’m excited to see what’s next!
I don't know why I feel so happy for you man. I like your way of living.
Wow. Thanks do much for making these videos, Nathaniel!
Also, I'm very excited for the rebranding and new direction of your channel :)
Your face has so much more life now it feels like. I loved your content before and I love your content and evolution now. Honored to be a part of your journey and I don't doubt I'll love anything you share with us
