My entire life it has felt like one day I will wake up and be 50. “Life is short” has been a saying repeated from all angles. From my perspective - the perspective of a 24-year-old who intellectually knows he is young but feels old - to call life short has only recently began to ring true.
When people look back on 10 years ago and utter the words “time flies” it is often due to an apparent recognition of who you previously were and what you were doing. To be able to relate to that person separated by a 10-year-span must be sickening. However, in your early 20s, you only just begin to understand that nausea.
Being 24 years old, 10 years ago does feel like 10 years ago because at 14-years-old I had not even grown into my body yet. A lot happened in those 10 years. By 34 I am sure to be different in many ways, but the basic buildings of my character and physicality - despite some added lines on the face, improved maturity, aches from the back, and maybe some receding hairline as well - will be a lot more recognisable to the 24-year-old me, than the 24-year-old me was to the 14-year-old me.
Therefore, in order to truly relate to the idea of life being short, I will need a few more years added on. But I know it’s coming and there is nothing I can do to stop it. And before I know it - and just as I have been anticipating - I’ll be 50.

This is the type of video I needed right now. I'm 25.
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
How the fuck do you not have more subscribers? This is genuinely one of the best channels I’ve watched in a while. I really hope you can find a following and continue making these videos because I love them.
I find as I've aged, every day seems to condense into one long day. Where it isn't material possessions or myself that makes me feel old. But other people I've known.
You are truly excellent, truly.
If you can manage, please do keep writing these pieces.
Visually Glorious
How would you describe such a style?
Read the script on the Substack and found it a really interesting piece clicked on the video and the editing is on another level really increased the overall experience one of my favourite videos on UA-cam such an underrated channel
Thank you for the kind words :)
Really insightful
I think a lot of people are thinking of themselves as young into old age. Thirty year olds get bothered if a child “naively” say that they are old. But if we manage to grow up -not to waste childhood but to be grown up (whatever that may entail) when you are at least 18 (if a number needs to be set), then you are old but you have, if not prematurely hindered, a lot of time left. You are then old but life is not short.
