Sure... I like getting to start a new, but... What if I had an okay life in the first place, so I wanna keep that life? I didn't chose this life so I can be recreated, what are your thoughts? Do you think anyone can ever be proud of me for deciding my own life?
@@ethanpeacock63this depends. Are you content with an "okay" life? Do you want to achieve something greater? One day, something might jolt you into wanting action. But of course, weigh your outcomes: is your priority to live comfortably or to achieve greatness (in whatever way you'd like to define that)? It is perfectly okay to take breaks, periods where you appreciate what you currently have. In fact, you SHOULD do that. But the argument is that whenever you have the unrelenting drive to move on, don't hold yourself back. If you are okay with an "okay" life, then by all means, live and enjoy it. The question arises when you are no longer content with that. Also, the beauty of external validation comes with forgetting about it. When you let go of caring about what other people think, the people who think highly of you will come to you. Everyone in the world has different opinions, which means there exist people who likely have every opinion you could ever think of, both positive and negative. Do you want to please those who will never be satisfied? In my experience, my closest friends are those who reach out to me to tell me that they respect what I'm doing, not the other way around.
Just dropped out of a 3 year relationship & I've legitimately stayed up for the last 2 nights due to the depression .. it's so weird to get a video notification so in tune with what you're going through. I really needed to hear this.
its all good bro! it will get better overtime, its better to feel your emotions than supress them, be excited about a new start but process your thoughts and feelings correctly. hope your good man
yo man, i get you, but just know that youre not alone. i know that it hurts but trust me, move on as soon as possible, you will just do more damage to yourself.
Hey man I don't know you and you obviously don't know me. But I went through something similar, 2 years instead of 3 but everything gets better. Take it a day at a time brother, you aren't alone. Talk to people or journal or make video diaries. Don't bottle up your emotions. Hope you start to feel better soon!
bro same but Ive already been single for a year and I still wake up every day just to keep replaying all the things I wouldve done differently. I didnt cheat or anything I was just not being good to myself during our time together. It was my fault in the end. I think reflection is necessary but there can come a point where you will realize you haven’t evolved. Yet, at least. Don’t be afraid to start your reset now before you wake up and its been TWO years just gone. Opportunities missed, relationship spawns came and went.. btw this is a message to myself mostly, just thinking out loud in case it helps someoen. good luck to us all m8
I think this guy is genuinely healing UA-cam with how these videos are. No flashy editing, no over-the-top effects, just a guy talking and playing Minecraft. You've earned my subscription.
I wanna pitch in because I actually have the opposite mindset (in minecraft lol). Never abandon your worlds. If you truly want a fresh start, abandon your base and travel 50k blocks away. It's basically a new spawn and basically a new world, except you always have the option to travel back to your old base, and maybe even connect it with a nether highway someday. The only hard time is when you die and lose all your stuff. It makes you want to quit, but you gotta keep going. Eventually you develop a world with so much lore and bases from different eras of your time, and ultimately, you never gave up on your world. As far as updates go, unloaded chunks always include the latest features, so don't worry about missing out on new content.
This video is oddly well timed. I’m a sophomore in college, only just now finishing up my first semester. I’m majoring in animation, but as the year has drawn to a close I realized a lot of things about my major, but one really key thing: I’m not passionate about it. All my life I dreamed of working in animation because I believed a job was only worth pursuing if I was passionate for it, but with this recent discovery, and finally gaining a solid idea of where my priorities are, I’ve realized that I don’t want to go into the animation industry. I’ve suffered a major loss this year, and the death of my loved one has made me realize just how much I cherish the people in my life. Having a job in animation would not only be an unstable career, but most importantly, it’d make me have to prioritize it over my loved ones, and frankly, I could never choose that. So now, I’ve decided to start over again, go down a different path. Part of me is sad to leave animation, but at the same time relieved. I’ll always love art and will continue to pursue it, but I believe that a change towards a career that will support my priorities is really what I want the most right now.
I’m kinda in the same boat as you. I’m also a sophomore in college and I’m trying to figure out my passions. Still having a hard time but I do feel incredibly grateful to have this opportunity to get out there and learn something I never knew I could do. I’m just having a hard time pushing myself to do it. We are in this journey of life and self discovery together👍🏻
i believe in you as well, i am a freshman in college majoring in marine biology. i am still an artist, and thats something ill never let go of. i still want to live a fulfilling life with my family, but please remember to take care of yourself too
No matter where our lives take us and what experiences we have, I believe in all of you as well. Figuring out life is hard, but I think eventually we’ll find our footing. Change is honestly scary, but I can see the results improving my own life, especially my love of art. The weight of having to be “perfect”, to live up to the standards of people I don’t even know is off my chest. It feels so good to do art again, it’s an incredibly freeing feeling. Instead of improving it for others, I improve it for myself, and that feeling brings me great joy. I hope you all can eventually find that same fulfillment for yourselves, in whatever way it takes form.
I never comment on youtube videos or even anything, but you just deserve something and this is the best i can give. Been watching your videos since the start of this summer and i spent most of my summer job lunch time watching your older videos. I Don't want to make this sound in any way parasocial, but you were a part of my summer and I thank you for that. Love this "new format", this new season with the minecraft soundtrack in the background. Also, spotify episodes would be great as I'm guessing there are many people that like to watch your videos on the side of doing something else. Anyways, keep it up man, you're producing great content
I had this friend group that i was apart of, and i knew then since i was 4 years old, and one year i started to notice that i was getting distanced from then, i didnt felt like i was really a friend to then like we used to, and then i switched schools, and day by day we started losing contact little by little, and that scared me a lot, because i lost contact with every single one of then, even with the one that i used to consider a best friend, and that made me think that it was my fault for dont being a better friend that i could have been. than in that new school, i met a new group of friends, we talked literally everyday, even out of school hours, but then again one year i started to feel distanced from then again, even that i stayed in the same school as then, but they switch schools, and again, little by little we lost contact, i only still had contact with one of my friends that i talk to this day, but still making me think that i was the problem, and that if i really had tried enough we would still be friends to this day. And now again from last year i found a new group of friends with this guy that i still talk, and we and this friend group, are togethr until today, but now i started feeling that again, that we are distanced and that we soon will lose contact, and since now the next year i will switch schools again for my last year in school( i am currently in the 2 grade going to the 3 next year), i am really scared, because everytime that i switch friend groups i thought i would never be able to meet new and awesome people like then, but everytime i stopped talking to then and met new people equally as awesome, but this time for some reason feels diferent, and i cant stop thinking its my fault thats that is happening, and i dont know what to do, even that i am trying really hard to no let that happen, because i am really scared of next year and how the rest of my life is going to playout, i feel like if i can't maintain any friends now in the future it will be worse. and i really dont want to stop talking to then, i really realish the time that we spended together, but i still feel like it was all my fault that we are falling apart, that if i had done better i wouldn't be feeling this way, and its already to late to try to redo things or ask for forgivennes for something or trying to change And this video came in the perfect time, because i am really scared of being alone and losing my friends next year, but the same time i am really looking forward to it, because i think i can do better then now, and really be the person that i want to be, and make friends that i will be able to feel like i ain't just a friend that can be substitute easily, and used when someone needs a shoulder to cry or talk on, and i have really high hopes for it, and that the reset in my friendship group for the 3 time will really help me with how i want to my life to play out, in a friend group that makes me feel important. (sorry for the venting and bad english, i have been feeling like this for a while and had no one to say it too, and this video came in the perfect timing)
@chetus8981 I don't mind the improper English, but I do want to talk about how strong You are and for being consistent in finding better friends. I hope and pray that things in life will look better in the future and that You can learn from Your Past experiences. Much Love 🙏🏾❤️
Don't be afraid to be alone. A tree must stand alone to reach its full height; only in solitude can it stretch its roots deep and its branches wide, unbound by the shade of others.
First off, I wanted to applaud you for the ability to recognize this and act on it. _That's extremely commendable!_ 😁🫰👉 It's kind of funny reading this, considering I'm going through a similar situation as a college student. I have an amazing friendship going on with a Discord group that I honestly call my 2nd family. However, someone really close called out because of age gap between us _(which, is understandable...)._ It's... Hard to move on. We were really close, and although we left on great terms, I just wish it didn't have to end because of our age difference. _(I should say something uplifiting so it's not a long vent as well.)_ Although some people may leave, cherish those who are still with you. Every moment you spend together is an everlasting memory that'll keep you moving forward in your darkest times. And although someone special you know is gone, they're memory will stick with you forever. *Flowers may wither, but the seeds they planted will grow again.*
I recently moved out city life to a small village, going great so far I am really liking Village life as of right now, been happier less crime, no gun shots going off every night, able to sleep peacefully
I wish I lived in a village. It looks, sounds, and probably feels like more peaceful and people who’re just more connected and down to earth. But I still rather be alone (imo)
Keep the Minecraft music. The nostalgia really adds to the message because it reminds me of who I was and who I am now. It's like a boost of confidence knowing that younger me is backing me up.
Niko, my man…. Thank you for this. Last 3 months have been real rough but I realized I’ve been stuck in a loop for a whole year now. And as a University student in his early 20s, a lot of time has been spent on unnecessary things… i’m still excited to start over. Lost a relationship, lost few friends, lost myself, my hobbies and my happiness. It’s time to gain it back. Thank you for giving me the hope. You’ve made a difference :) and you’ve earned a sub! Cheers man
You defiantly found your niche brotha and the visuals are better than most channels that have meme shat in my face it’s very relaxing watching you play Minecraft it somehow makes me think more and focus
Sometimes starting over in Life is the Solution to your Problems and not the Problem itself. I have travelled alot through different countries and was a different person each time. Each time I have grown as a person with the Expieriences that I have made in my "past lives". I think starting over is a cruical part in the self devolepment of yourself. "Because you cant change while staying the same person" Btw watch Fight club because it talks amazingly about many philosphical things in life. Trust 🙏🙏🙏
this is incredibly relatable. I recently started over completely at 18. I left home for the army, completely changed who I am and who ny friends are and what I do everyday. My family doesnt entirely like this change since now I'm openly gay and don't care if they accept me or not. New relationships, new jobs, new experiences and a new identity. They're all scary but you can make it worth the time, and should never shy away from change.
As an eastern european I just dropped out of my western european university where I did Computer Science for a year (I got an AP degree sort of diploma for that year) after struggling with my part-time jobs, not knowing the language, no social circle or connections, natives mocking attitude and receiving the migrant treatment. Also not to mention my accomodation which was like in those nightmare stories you see about New York and other developed US regions (imagine super pricey 10 squares). I am starting over in my home country, but have previous work experience in the field and i developed & wrote down my alternative skill development which is my meaningful alternative. Moral of my story and what im trying to convey is, if you do decide to start over in whatever field or endeavor you are thinking about don't just do nothing or don't just quit something because its hard, quit or reset because you do something that makes you feel ashamed, like a lesser version of yourself and diminishes your confidence because i do believe confidence and health should come #1 in life. Without taking the initiative and without having the health to carry yourself around you are not going anywhere in this life, and of course Maslow is a structural representation for it if you are somewhere stuck on the first levels, then quit, don't sustain misery it will make you resent everything and everyone and completely destroy you.
you're right man. wow i can't believe this video showed up on my feed. what a godsend. i just quit smoking weed and vaping nicotine, and since then ive been getting into lifting and healthy eating. i've noticed that ppl at my job don't have the same values and are very immature with their mindset. i think im going to leave and go get like a trade job or something so i can live on my own. even though there are cool people at my work, and fine ass women, i think this new shift in my life will bring a bunch of positive energy and mental wealth. i definitely gotta get these girls number though and stop being scared lol but i really can't do a relationship right now. i've been seeing a lot of motivational stuff recently, and i think it's time for me to face my fears and just go all in on myself and my social skills. thank you for this video again bro, you got my sub. it's time to change my life.
Thank you Niko, I was having somewhat anxiety attack thinking of my future in college that may or may not collapse if I don’t show in today’s final exam (I’m sick and didn’t get to study at all). But after your video, It’s like I’m hearing what I needed to hear, I don’t even like my current major, maybe I’ll be in a better place next semester and it’ll be because of this so looking setback I hope you don’t add music, it’s so rare and beautiful to hear just a mono human sound.
ive been drawing for 2 - 3 years with no proper guide. i did it to get me into the hobby and now i love drawing. but damn now doing guides and stuff. its a sacrifice, its hard, it feels like im starting over. this video gave me a new sight on this. thank you. im gonna be drawing more and more and work for video games
Hey Niko, I hope you’re doing well! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and I just wanted to say how much I admire your wisdom and the way you approach things. it’s inspiring to see how you’ve honed such a deep understanding on all these topics I hope to be as wise as you one day Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective with us it’s made an impact on me Looking forward to more of your content!
I rarely comment on videos, but it felt like you really struck a chord within me. I'm a 16 yr old high school student. I'd like to share something about starting over (which has been my life over the course of this month) here - A couple months ago, everything was alright. I had just broken up from the first relationship (and the most serious) ive had around 2 months ago. Up till this point, except for my first ex, i had been alone and didn't really have anyone to connect to. This relationship was probably the best thing to happen to me. This relationship started in the same year I was separated into different classes from people that i knew and because I was dating, I didn't really make any friends in my class, because i didn't have to. I just had her. So after the breakup, it was like my world shattered. It probably feels like that for every kid out there. I knew that i had to improve and be better, not just stay in a repeating cycle of self deprecation. Up till this point, except for my first ex, i had been alone and didn't really have anyone to connect to. An acquaintance of mine, at this time, allowed me to vent to him and i told him about some of my struggles (it was 2 am on the day of my birthday and i was slightly upset). He gave me the opportunity to make some friends. If you can believe it, i wasn't on instagram or a lot of social medias that kids in my school used to communicate. I was left out most of the time, and i felt alright with that. So he gave me some friend groups i could join with permission, and i was allowed to be welcomed and accepted. It wasn't great at first, i wasn't treated very well as well, highschool students are pretty cruel when it comes down to outsiders. But i managed. I gave a lot of time and consideration to them and i gained a really good group of friends, atleast from what i could see. Along the way, i even got a girlfriend, whom i appreciated a lot. I started to feel like i wasn't alone again. I was appreciated and loved. As my home wasn't the best, it was really all i had. After a month of being with them, having fun and learning what happiness could be, i came to a realization. It didn't feel normal to be with them. They felt superficial and felt like they were kids that had too much free time. They didn't have any ambitions and just lived to play, day to day. Even my so called girlfriend was one of those kids. They weren't trying to attain any goals, they weren't interested in anything that could be good for their future. Felt like they judged everyone too much. They were addicted to Instagram and gossip and always wanted to get into relationships. At first, i pushed these feelings away, and called myself judgmental for being this way. After a while, i stopped. I stopped trying to fit in. I stopped trying to tolerate this bullshit. They didn't hate me at all, but i didn't feel right being with them. But more than that, i felt like I wasn't able to balance friends and a study life. Atleast, the kind of friends that i had, who had a lot of free time as compared to me. I wanted to be better, and they wanted to remain the way they were. One of my goals is to clear the junior entrance exam for engineering (JEE) which requires me to study long hours everyday. I'm working towards a future so i can tell proudly tell my kids someday that i struggled hard enough to clear the exam. When you surround yourself with these kinds of people, it feels like you're out of place. That day, i woke up with a clear head. I went nuclear. I deleted all my socials. I didn't tell anyone what i was doing, i did what i felt was right. I dumped my girlfriend, I left my friends and i stopped seeing all of them. I didn't hate them. They were good friends to me, but i felt like they were still the wrong people. I'm back to square one. I come to class and i don't see either of them. I sit alone again, to study by myself and i work on myself everyday. Little by little. It's been nearly a month since i've done this. I guess you could say i got rid of all my distractions. While i don't strive for self isolation or motivate it in any sort. Now i feel weightless, like a huge load off my shoulders has been lifted. It came down to me leaving everyone that now i feel like myself again. And i'm choosing to work on myself now. From what i had been doing, my study routine now goes uninterrupted due to the lack of these distractions, i have time to work out and i'm happy to not live on pleasure. It probably isn't the answer, but this extreme lack of social interaction does take a toll sometimes. I don't intend to hurt people, but it feels like i need to do this. Now of course i can't go my entire life without meeting people, but i wished to start over again. Feel like myself again. I don't need to fit in anymore. I do what i want now. This was extreme but i don't think i'll regret doing this. I felt like i wasn't good enough with where i was. I was getting too comfortable and i wanted to be better. I felt like i had the potential to do more. I won't let life go on autopilot. Now, life feels like i'm back at square one again. It hurts sometimes. But hey, a man who has lost everything has everything to gain. it is what it is. I'll recreate myself, possibly even better than i was back then. Maybe i'll gain better friends, maybe i'll gain someone special again.. till then, i'll become the best i can be. I just needed the push to do so. Thank you niko, you definitely know what's going on in people's lives. Haven't forgotten that one time you talked to me on stream. love ur vids!
Really appreciate you bringing up the story of your college buddy. Just wrapped up my first semester of college and I feel fucking awful. I made so many mistakes that I’ve been waiting for a fresh start. But now I have it. and I have good hopes for the future with what I’ve learned.
Thank you for sharing this video and your experiences. This video really spoke to me, especially because of where I am in my life. I’m 26 years old and feel so lost right now. I have a bachelors in criminal justice and I was recently a police officer for about a year and realized it wasn’t for me. Now I am just lost and not sure what to do with my life. I know I have to try something new and start over I’m just not sure where to start. Keep doing what you’re doing and inspiring people, I love your videos.
Absolutely needed this, I'm going through quite a tough time and I decided that I will not be in the group that my friends did and also might change career. I have been doing what I was supposed to but I'm done with that, I don't like some friends that I had, I don't like the career that I'm in so I'm starting over now (except for my career which I can only start over next year), staying on that career had made me feel terrible and deteriorate my mental state plus some friends that I had also did that. Thank God that this video popped out just when I needed it, thank you Niko for making it.
these word are no lie some of the best I've heard that were put together like this. I actually love the idea of starting over and how you reminded us that change can be good. thank you broski :)
Niko, I only found your channel last night and ive binged a lot of your videos, thank you for being you. Ive recently just cut off relationships with friends and just quit my job, so this video really help me think about my future
Haven’t seen your vids in a few months but this one was recommended to me at the perfect time, I’m leaving my management job I’ve been at for years to go learn to be a plumber. This video came at the perfect time
@@nikoyaps I know it’s very close to that in all Slavic languages such as Macedonian, but it’s only exactly niko in Serbian (probably). Like in Czech, “ni” is a negation and “kdo” means who, so it’s like “not who,” nobody. In Serbian they just lost that extra consonant the other Slav languages still have.
I’m in the process of the same thing man, starting over gives us a clean slate and right now it’s something I need after a bad relationship and environment
I would say, keep the Minecraft music in the background. I find that calm/nostalgic vibe absolutly perfect for this kind of videos. Anyways, love your content, keep it up!
i like how you think out loud and within that, provide a sense of guidance bc it’s easier for my ears to sit with compared to self help cringe essentially telling me what i should think and do. you actually let us do that ourselves. ok i go sub now
Is youtube listening to my therapy sessions...? I came here for minecraft, as a 23 year old who just started their yearly 1 week of wanting to play it. This is just beautiful to find instead. Thank you, my man. Thank you.
thank you for making these videos. I didnt think i would be able to sleep today, my relationship ended today, but the few videos i watched from you made me feel... at peace? The hurt is still lingering there but it isnt at the front anymore. It isnt my only emotion anymore
I think it's not a coincidence that I subbed to you and in this moment in my life, where I don't know where to go or what to do with it, you upload this video... Thanks a lot man :)
Thank you Niko. I resonate with what you say. I'm currently quitting a job I have for an equivalent but much better paying one (both are music teaching). I love teaching music, and while I am sad to leave many of my students behind by quitting the job I have, I am happy I made this decision. I couldn't see myself anymore working hard and passionately, giving all my energy, all for a small pay. I don't want to suffer through decades of "building my experience" and be an old man before I can be payed well for my work.
This feels very very good to listen to. Its both reassuring and kinda waked me up in scrolling that i could do so much stuff and yet i wasnt, so thank you
Maybe instead of just restarting Just keep going. If you work hard you will get the good stuff. Nobody knows exactly how there life will turn out but if you work hard it WILL be good. One thing that can help you find purpose in life if following god. I hope you have a great day🫵✝️
i haven't figured out the answer to that myself and am stuck in the same loop, but i think small changes could eventually help; as in for where im stuck, ive been trying to take notes of what causes me to not get out of this loop and what i know needs to be done in order to change it, and implementing the same asap could be of help. it feels horrible and endless but im just trying to find myself at a place where it's peaceful, and i hope you do too
@@calebcamarillo3203I'm not necessarily talking about overall. But looking for the pattern that causes things to go wrong. Mine was getting to good at my job and getting bored. I've been looking for ways to keep my job interesting now.
Wow, I expected a vid about restarting in games.. Turns out this video is exactly what I needed to hear. I feel stuck in a career that is destroying my mental health, I recently finally quit. i am still working my last few weeks here, and it's super scary. I don't have another job lined up yet, but I can't stay where I am. I fell into an intense depression recently, as I felt like I couldn't change. This video really inspires me, so much so I am crying right now. I feel like I can start over, change my environment, and hopefully my attitude.
i quit my dead end job a few weeks ago for a better paying job and its been the best thing ive done for myself in a while, i can already see the difference mentally. i may be working more hours, but im not working long nights anymore and im free at the weekends changing anything major about your life is always terrifying, but sometimes the most terrifying thing is whats best for you
Unironically, this video is kinda what I needed. I've been tinking with Unreal engine but never really finishing anything or pushing what I know forward. Maybe this was a sign to give it a go from square one again... Thank you! : )
Starting over is difficult, starting over hurts...But sometimes it's the only way forward. Currently I'm trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship. It sucks, feeling like I'll never be the same, like I'll never find that again. But I know that ultimately this is the only way for me to find happiness. Starting over gives you the opportunity to find who you want to be and what you want to do. Restarting is scary, but in the end; life goes on no matter what and that reset might be exactly what leads you where you want to be.
I very recently just started a new UA-cam channel (different channel than this) for the game studio I have wanted to start for years. It’s a completely new chapter in my life and it was scary to take the leap, but I’m very excited to see what the future holds.
at the end of the day it's just about pursuing interests until you find that one you fall in love with. Don't be afraid to take risks while you're young the safety plan is always gonna be there just don't ever let money be the motivator
I spent a lot of my life restarting games that I love usually fallout games, resident evil, sims or Minecraft even before I’ve beaten them that play through and I always wondered why but I’ve made the realization I start over in them so much because it’s a symbol that I want to start over in life but simply it isn’t an option
I feel that most of this isn't really related to the video...but for some reason i started thinking about this while i was listening to you. Not gonna lie, i'm at a very very low point at my life, but i'm also starting to be more honest with myself and others, and finally telling the whole truth to my therapist. And even though like 80% of my just gave up on life, for some reason the remaining 20% wants to keep going...to do what i want and what i like, not worrying about the future/not having a job or goal etc. And the feeling i have is that someday, when i understand myself better and actually start to like myself, my life will take a WILD turn. I just hope it's for the best... So yeah, starting over and leaving the past behind, healing wounds that should've been healed long ago, and focusing on my life NOW and just go with the flow with whatever i wanna do, might be the right choice. Like, fuck, all of my friends keep saying i'm creative and wonder how can i manage having so many hobbies...but i never got to fully dedicate myself to any of them. I always kept leaping from place to place, even when things were going alright, just because of pure paranoia and low self esteem. I wonder how many things i've missed just by not following any path to the end....but maybe the time to make a move is getting closer, after so many years. And i hope i make the right move this time, or at least stick with it no matter what my mind tells me. Thanks for this, Niko. I hope i can get through this and keep watching your videos, and maybe comment "i made it" in the future. Many hugs 🫂
At your lowest is when you truly know yourself. You have nowhwere else to go but up at rock bottom. I used to be at a point in my life where if it kept on that track by the time i turn 25 i was going to end it all. Im glad i kept trying. Life is worth it
Early 30s here and I have to say listening to your video made me think there maybe changes coming soon for my life starting today. thanks you for sharing... great video.
Not too long ago I restarted a UA-cam channel as well and while rn its not working I believe that it can but even if it doesn’t I’m glad that I switched because now I’m able of trying new things, I do videos on geometry dash but maybe I’ll restart over again who knows (right now tho I’m not able to play because I screwed my wrist pretty bad, though I had carpel tunnel but thankfully I don’t ) Anyway to the people reading this I wish you a good day and good luck on whatever you are doing whether you have been on it for a while or just started over
Hey man, great video, I like the way you present real themes and I couldn't agree more. I also had/currently have this same problem and still pushing through 💪
I always say to myself that I will play those games after I finish games that I'm currently playing... but those games I'm playing takes loots of time for me to progress in them. Not sure if I should keep that going or if I wish to start new ones. Recently, I started liking photography, but I don't have a camera jet + I doubt I could find jobs where I could do photography and have a secure job. I'm still lost and deciding on what I want to focus, but sooner or later I will have to get a job and after that, my time to pick and getting used to new stuff will be long over.
For me I'm always trying to find the perfect seed, I know it'll probably never happen but the journey of discovering oddity after oddity is somewhat...calming? Feels like I'm able to get up and walk away without commitment, heals my life honestly
I have really been wanting to hear this because i have been wanting to do high school in Finland for a very long time i knew everything with moving and citizenships would work fine but this video has finally pushed me too not be worried and go for it.
So few months ago I lost a dear friend trying to go on being something more this girl meant the world to me and I find out I got dragged along for two years basically she wanted a relationship with me and I was in rough spot with my mental state and stuff few months ago I tried to commit and u know we were getting ready to be together to find out that she was seeing some else behind my back basically or wanted to try something different I guess or whatever. this been the hardest thing I've gone through in awhile cause I still love her but this experience has made me feel like I lost myself and but this video has given me some hope thankful for running into this video
Hey, Niko! Loved this video so much, I would defiantly recommend you doing many more vids of this style. And about adding music to your videos, I actually think that adding music to your would distract viewers from what you might be talking about. Idk, do what you think is best, but I wouldn't do music, at least not with high volume.
Be it life or video game we all fail at some point and have to restart and that’s ok. What matters is how you deal with it and grow, we all make mistakes and that’s alright
I took One 2 year course. Then started over after 2 years, reset and even moved towns for my gf and a job and that was. Big deal for me as I had to battle my crippling social anxiety, i didn’t finish getting my red seal in that trade. I didn’t enjoy it the way i thought I would. I then re started and took a job at a rebar yard/shop… that was interesting for one year. It was a lot of work and it was healthy for me for a bit although it was hard on the head at times, i enjoyed the times out in the yard and watching the sun come up was beautiful. But it wasn’t fulfilling or making enough money. I was always kinda a guy who stood out in my community socially. I ended up deciding I couldn’t do it anymore. I decided I best go back to school. I spent all of the money I had saved to go back to school again. Now on a different but similar trade. I feel un motivated at times and sad that I had to re start but I kinda feel like it had to happen. I’m now a 1st year in my trade (3 to go) and I’m not super good yet but improving daily. Idk if I waisted my time or not. 3 years of school and still a 1st year. But I guess it takes time to get above a 1st year doesn’t it? Idk anyway. Idk why I’m even commenting this. I don’t fit in never have. Thanks for the vids. They are awesome content but they are so much more than that for so many people. Thank you.
i recently started a new minecraft youtube channel, i started this roblox channel 2 years ago and i want to start over because minecraft helped me through tough times in my childhood, so i want to help it back.
Having a shit month and I’m about to be 31 in a few months. Broke and moved back in with parents. They took me back thankfully and applying for jobs here and there. Few rejections but I’m keeping on going. Hopefully years from now, I’ll be in a much better place. Hope to come back to this since I’ll be leaving a comment.
currently considering transferring universitys after the first 3 months were not what I expected. I am now in the process to moving and starting in a place that better matches me. thanks for your advice and wish me luck! lol
I remember when i first moved in to the states,i lived 20 years in Cuba before that and that wasnt just a new page for me. It was a whole new book. Specifically this one time that my cousin which i used to live in his house back then for a while and worked with him. I will always presented myself as Leo,thats how i liked to be called,thats who i became. He insisted saying "your name is Leandro",laughing at me. Yes that might be true,but i want to be whoever i want to be. People who saw you in diapers one time will always see you that way,never take you seriuosly and underestimate you. Now im a new self,with people that value me and respect me,i would take a clean slate anytime.
To add to this: I’d never know the things I know now if it wasn’t for small resets I made. The first major one was switching from art to networking as a major. I met a lot of close friends from this switch.
So when i was 16 i got the feeling that should go to a doctors or a therapist about my mental health. At the time for yefeltmy mental health was up and down, ive tried doing everything all by myself but that didnt work and even speaking to friends help, but i need something more. Now im 21 and im going to the doctors tomorrow morning about my mental. And im probably going to do therapy. I have felt this feeling for 5 years and ive been in a constant spiral. Wish me luck niko
moving out, new job, breakups, it is literally never too late. life is all about reinvention.

Exactly, we all will be "starting over" all our lifes. Is basically going for something new when you want to
Sure... I like getting to start a new, but... What if I had an okay life in the first place, so I wanna keep that life? I didn't chose this life so I can be recreated, what are your thoughts? Do you think anyone can ever be proud of me for deciding my own life?
@@ethanpeacock63this depends. Are you content with an "okay" life? Do you want to achieve something greater? One day, something might jolt you into wanting action. But of course, weigh your outcomes: is your priority to live comfortably or to achieve greatness (in whatever way you'd like to define that)? It is perfectly okay to take breaks, periods where you appreciate what you currently have. In fact, you SHOULD do that. But the argument is that whenever you have the unrelenting drive to move on, don't hold yourself back. If you are okay with an "okay" life, then by all means, live and enjoy it. The question arises when you are no longer content with that.
Also, the beauty of external validation comes with forgetting about it. When you let go of caring about what other people think, the people who think highly of you will come to you. Everyone in the world has different opinions, which means there exist people who likely have every opinion you could ever think of, both positive and negative. Do you want to please those who will never be satisfied? In my experience, my closest friends are those who reach out to me to tell me that they respect what I'm doing, not the other way around.
Alright I can’t watch now but I’m leaving this comment so i can go back to this
you do know watch later exists right?
@@link182_u do know that some can be forgetful no hate Xav btw

Just save the video

Just dropped out of a 3 year relationship & I've legitimately stayed up for the last 2 nights due to the depression ..
it's so weird to get a video notification so in tune with what you're going through.
I really needed to hear this.
its all good bro! it will get better overtime, its better to feel your emotions than supress them, be excited about a new start but process your thoughts and feelings correctly. hope your good man
yo man, i get you, but just know that youre not alone.
i know that it hurts but trust me, move on as soon as possible, you will just do more damage to yourself.
more power to you brother!! *YOU ARE STRONG.*
Hey man I don't know you and you obviously don't know me. But I went through something similar, 2 years instead of 3 but everything gets better. Take it a day at a time brother, you aren't alone. Talk to people or journal or make video diaries. Don't bottle up your emotions. Hope you start to feel better soon!
bro same but Ive already been single for a year and I still wake up every day just to keep replaying all the things I wouldve done differently. I didnt cheat or anything I was just not being good to myself during our time together. It was my fault in the end. I think reflection is necessary but there can come a point where you will realize you haven’t evolved. Yet, at least. Don’t be afraid to start your reset now before you wake up and its been TWO years just gone. Opportunities missed, relationship spawns came and went.. btw this is a message to myself mostly, just thinking out loud in case it helps someoen. good luck to us all m8
I think this guy is genuinely healing UA-cam with how these videos are. No flashy editing, no over-the-top effects, just a guy talking and playing Minecraft. You've earned my subscription.
I wanna pitch in because I actually have the opposite mindset (in minecraft lol).
Never abandon your worlds. If you truly want a fresh start, abandon your base and travel 50k blocks away. It's basically a new spawn and basically a new world, except you always have the option to travel back to your old base, and maybe even connect it with a nether highway someday.
The only hard time is when you die and lose all your stuff. It makes you want to quit, but you gotta keep going. Eventually you develop a world with so much lore and bases from different eras of your time, and ultimately, you never gave up on your world.
As far as updates go, unloaded chunks always include the latest features, so don't worry about missing out on new content.
But uhh, I play in hardcore and whenever I die, I lose the world 🙃
This video is oddly well timed. I’m a sophomore in college, only just now finishing up my first semester. I’m majoring in animation, but as the year has drawn to a close I realized a lot of things about my major, but one really key thing: I’m not passionate about it. All my life I dreamed of working in animation because I believed a job was only worth pursuing if I was passionate for it, but with this recent discovery, and finally gaining a solid idea of where my priorities are, I’ve realized that I don’t want to go into the animation industry. I’ve suffered a major loss this year, and the death of my loved one has made me realize just how much I cherish the people in my life. Having a job in animation would not only be an unstable career, but most importantly, it’d make me have to prioritize it over my loved ones, and frankly, I could never choose that. So now, I’ve decided to start over again, go down a different path. Part of me is sad to leave animation, but at the same time relieved. I’ll always love art and will continue to pursue it, but I believe that a change towards a career that will support my priorities is really what I want the most right now.
I believe in you
I’m kinda in the same boat as you. I’m also a sophomore in college and I’m trying to figure out my passions. Still having a hard time but I do feel incredibly grateful to have this opportunity to get out there and learn something I never knew I could do. I’m just having a hard time pushing myself to do it. We are in this journey of life and self discovery together👍🏻
i believe in you as well, i am a freshman in college majoring in marine biology. i am still an artist, and thats something ill never let go of. i still want to live a fulfilling life with my family, but please remember to take care of yourself too
No matter where our lives take us and what experiences we have, I believe in all of you as well. Figuring out life is hard, but I think eventually we’ll find our footing. Change is honestly scary, but I can see the results improving my own life, especially my love of art. The weight of having to be “perfect”, to live up to the standards of people I don’t even know is off my chest. It feels so good to do art again, it’s an incredibly freeing feeling. Instead of improving it for others, I improve it for myself, and that feeling brings me great joy. I hope you all can eventually find that same fulfillment for yourselves, in whatever way it takes form.
I never comment on youtube videos or even anything, but you just deserve something and this is the best i can give.
Been watching your videos since the start of this summer and i spent most of my summer job lunch time watching your older videos. I Don't want to make this sound in any way parasocial, but you were a part of my summer and I thank you for that.
Love this "new format", this new season with the minecraft soundtrack in the background.
Also, spotify episodes would be great as I'm guessing there are many people that like to watch your videos on the side of doing something else.
Anyways, keep it up man, you're producing great content
Glad I could be part of your summer!
I had this friend group that i was apart of, and i knew then since i was 4 years old, and one year i started to notice that i was getting distanced from then, i didnt felt like i was really a friend to then like we used to, and then i switched schools, and day by day we started losing contact little by little, and that scared me a lot, because i lost contact with every single one of then, even with the one that i used to consider a best friend, and that made me think that it was my fault for dont being a better friend that i could have been.
than in that new school, i met a new group of friends, we talked literally everyday, even out of school hours, but then again one year i started to feel distanced from then again, even that i stayed in the same school as then, but they switch schools, and again, little by little we lost contact, i only still had contact with one of my friends that i talk to this day, but still making me think that i was the problem, and that if i really had tried enough we would still be friends to this day.
And now again from last year i found a new group of friends with this guy that i still talk, and we and this friend group, are togethr until today, but now i started feeling that again, that we are distanced and that we soon will lose contact, and since now the next year i will switch schools again for my last year in school( i am currently in the 2 grade going to the 3 next year), i am really scared, because everytime that i switch friend groups i thought i would never be able to meet new and awesome people like then, but everytime i stopped talking to then and met new people equally as awesome, but this time for some reason feels diferent, and i cant stop thinking its my fault thats that is happening, and i dont know what to do, even that i am trying really hard to no let that happen, because i am really scared of next year and how the rest of my life is going to playout, i feel like if i can't maintain any friends now in the future it will be worse. and i really dont want to stop talking to then, i really realish the time that we spended together, but i still feel like it was all my fault that we are falling apart, that if i had done better i wouldn't be feeling this way, and its already to late to try to redo things or ask for forgivennes for something or trying to change
And this video came in the perfect time, because i am really scared of being alone and losing my friends next year, but the same time i am really looking forward to it, because i think i can do better then now, and really be the person that i want to be, and make friends that i will be able to feel like i ain't just a friend that can be substitute easily, and used when someone needs a shoulder to cry or talk on, and i have really high hopes for it, and that the reset in my friendship group for the 3 time will really help me with how i want to my life to play out, in a friend group that makes me feel important.
(sorry for the venting and bad english, i have been feeling like this for a while and had no one to say it too, and this video came in the perfect timing)
@chetus8981 I don't mind the improper English, but I do want to talk about how strong You are and for being consistent in finding better friends. I hope and pray that things in life will look better in the future and that You can learn from Your Past experiences. Much Love 🙏🏾❤️
Don't be afraid to be alone. A tree must stand alone to reach its full height; only in solitude can it stretch its roots deep and its branches wide, unbound by the shade of others.
no way man is in 2nd grade and already growing grey hairs
@@AnonymousUser106great words bro 🤝🤝
First off, I wanted to applaud you for the ability to recognize this and act on it. _That's extremely commendable!_ 😁🫰👉
It's kind of funny reading this, considering I'm going through a similar situation as a college student. I have an amazing friendship going on with a Discord group that I honestly call my 2nd family. However, someone really close called out because of age gap between us _(which, is understandable...)._
It's... Hard to move on. We were really close, and although we left on great terms, I just wish it didn't have to end because of our age difference.
_(I should say something uplifiting so it's not a long vent as well.)_
Although some people may leave, cherish those who are still with you. Every moment you spend together is an everlasting memory that'll keep you moving forward in your darkest times. And although someone special you know is gone, they're memory will stick with you forever. *Flowers may wither, but the seeds they planted will grow again.*
I recently moved out city life to a small village, going great so far I am really liking Village life as of right now, been happier less crime, no gun shots going off every night, able to sleep peacefully
I wish I lived in a village. It looks, sounds, and probably feels like more peaceful and people who’re just more connected and down to earth. But I still rather be alone (imo)
Keep the Minecraft music. The nostalgia really adds to the message because it reminds me of who I was and who I am now. It's like a boost of confidence knowing that younger me is backing me up.
EXACTLY THIS! That's exactly my mindset whenever I feel lost!
i pass kidney stone while watching video :3
so silly :3
Good job gold star sticker
o7
You commented the same thing on flowstates latest video too, how big was the kidney stone haha
oh ok
Niko, my man…. Thank you for this. Last 3 months have been real rough but I realized I’ve been stuck in a loop for a whole year now. And as a University student in his early 20s, a lot of time has been spent on unnecessary things… i’m still excited to start over. Lost a relationship, lost few friends, lost myself, my hobbies and my happiness. It’s time to gain it back. Thank you for giving me the hope. You’ve made a difference :) and you’ve earned a sub! Cheers man
I really hope everything turns out well for you. It's not easy but it's definitely worth it. Keep going!
You defiantly found your niche brotha and the visuals are better than most channels that have meme shat in my face it’s very relaxing watching you play Minecraft it somehow makes me think more and focus
Sometimes starting over in Life is the Solution to your Problems and not the Problem itself. I have travelled alot through different countries and was a different person each time. Each time I have grown as a person with the Expieriences that I have made in my "past lives". I think starting over is a cruical part in the self devolepment of yourself. "Because you cant change while staying the same person"
Btw watch Fight club because it talks amazingly about many philosphical things in life. Trust 🙏🙏🙏
Dude, not even done with the video, and i'm already inspired. Love you, Niko. Keep climbing 💓
this is incredibly relatable. I recently started over completely at 18. I left home for the army, completely changed who I am and who ny friends are and what I do everyday. My family doesnt entirely like this change since now I'm openly gay and don't care if they accept me or not. New relationships, new jobs, new experiences and a new identity. They're all scary but you can make it worth the time, and should never shy away from change.
As an eastern european I just dropped out of my western european university where I did Computer Science for a year (I got an AP degree sort of diploma for that year) after struggling with my part-time jobs, not knowing the language, no social circle or connections, natives mocking attitude and receiving the migrant treatment. Also not to mention my accomodation which was like in those nightmare stories you see about New York and other developed US regions (imagine super pricey 10 squares).
I am starting over in my home country, but have previous work experience in the field and i developed & wrote down my alternative skill development which is my meaningful alternative.
Moral of my story and what im trying to convey is, if you do decide to start over in whatever field or endeavor you are thinking about don't just do nothing or don't just quit something because its hard, quit or reset because you do something that makes you feel ashamed, like a lesser version of yourself and diminishes your confidence because i do believe confidence and health should come #1 in life.
Without taking the initiative and without having the health to carry yourself around you are not going anywhere in this life, and of course Maslow is a structural representation for it if you are somewhere stuck on the first levels, then quit, don't sustain misery it will make you resent everything and everyone and completely destroy you.
you're right man. wow i can't believe this video showed up on my feed. what a godsend. i just quit smoking weed and vaping nicotine, and since then ive been getting into lifting and healthy eating. i've noticed that ppl at my job don't have the same values and are very immature with their mindset. i think im going to leave and go get like a trade job or something so i can live on my own. even though there are cool people at my work, and fine ass women, i think this new shift in my life will bring a bunch of positive energy and mental wealth. i definitely gotta get these girls number though and stop being scared lol but i really can't do a relationship right now. i've been seeing a lot of motivational stuff recently, and i think it's time for me to face my fears and just go all in on myself and my social skills. thank you for this video again bro, you got my sub. it's time to change my life.
Thank you Niko, I was having somewhat anxiety attack thinking of my future in college that may or may not collapse if I don’t show in today’s final exam (I’m sick and didn’t get to study at all). But after your video, It’s like I’m hearing what I needed to hear, I don’t even like my current major, maybe I’ll be in a better place next semester and it’ll be because of this so looking setback
I hope you don’t add music, it’s so rare and beautiful to hear just a mono human sound.
ive been drawing for 2 - 3 years with no proper guide. i did it to get me into the hobby and now i love drawing. but damn now doing guides and stuff. its a sacrifice, its hard, it feels like im starting over. this video gave me a new sight on this. thank you. im gonna be drawing more and more and work for video games
all of your videos help me feel better bro. you're awesome. love you.
I have been through a reset too as I just moved out. What a well-fitting timing to see this video on my feed…
Just discovered your channel and im amazed by the oldschool type of content! Really love the authenticity your videos have. Greetings from Greece!
preciate you niko, been going through a tough time and this helped a lot
Hey Niko,
I hope you’re doing well! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and I just wanted to say how much I admire your wisdom and the way you approach things. it’s inspiring to see how you’ve honed such a deep understanding on all these topics
I hope to be as wise as you one day Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspective with us it’s made an impact on me
Looking forward to more of your content!
Listening to your videos in the background while playing forza hit different. thx for everything
I'm 24 and really needed to hear this, thank you for the wise words, your wisdom through experience is evident :)
I'm about to turn 24 in December.
I rarely comment on videos, but it felt like you really struck a chord within me. I'm a 16 yr old high school student. I'd like to share something about starting over (which has been my life over the course of this month) here -
A couple months ago, everything was alright. I had just broken up from the first relationship (and the most serious) ive had around 2 months ago. Up till this point, except for my first ex, i had been alone and didn't really have anyone to connect to. This relationship was probably the best thing to happen to me.
This relationship started in the same year I was separated into different classes from people that i knew and because I was dating, I didn't really make any friends in my class, because i didn't have to. I just had her. So after the breakup, it was like my world shattered. It probably feels like that for every kid out there.
I knew that i had to improve and be better, not just stay in a repeating cycle of self deprecation. Up till this point, except for my first ex, i had been alone and didn't really have anyone to connect to.
An acquaintance of mine, at this time, allowed me to vent to him and i told him about some of my struggles (it was 2 am on the day of my birthday and i was slightly upset). He gave me the opportunity to make some friends. If you can believe it, i wasn't on instagram or a lot of social medias that kids in my school used to communicate. I was left out most of the time, and i felt alright with that. So he gave me some friend groups i could join with permission, and i was allowed to be welcomed and accepted. It wasn't great at first, i wasn't treated very well as well, highschool students are pretty cruel when it comes down to outsiders. But i managed. I gave a lot of time and consideration to them and i gained a really good group of friends, atleast from what i could see. Along the way, i even got a girlfriend, whom i appreciated a lot. I started to feel like i wasn't alone again. I was appreciated and loved. As my home wasn't the best, it was really all i had. After a month of being with them, having fun and learning what happiness could be, i came to a realization.
It didn't feel normal to be with them. They felt superficial and felt like they were kids that had too much free time. They didn't have any ambitions and just lived to play, day to day. Even my so called girlfriend was one of those kids. They weren't trying to attain any goals, they weren't interested in anything that could be good for their future. Felt like they judged everyone too much. They were addicted to Instagram and gossip and always wanted to get into relationships. At first, i pushed these feelings away, and called myself judgmental for being this way. After a while, i stopped. I stopped trying to fit in. I stopped trying to tolerate this bullshit. They didn't hate me at all, but i didn't feel right being with them. But more than that, i felt like I wasn't able to balance friends and a study life. Atleast, the kind of friends that i had, who had a lot of free time as compared to me. I wanted to be better, and they wanted to remain the way they were. One of my goals is to clear the junior entrance exam for engineering (JEE) which requires me to study long hours everyday. I'm working towards a future so i can tell proudly tell my kids someday that i struggled hard enough to clear the exam. When you surround yourself with these kinds of people, it feels like you're out of place.
That day, i woke up with a clear head. I went nuclear. I deleted all my socials. I didn't tell anyone what i was doing, i did what i felt was right. I dumped my girlfriend, I left my friends and i stopped seeing all of them. I didn't hate them. They were good friends to me, but i felt like they were still the wrong people. I'm back to square one. I come to class and i don't see either of them. I sit alone again, to study by myself and i work on myself everyday. Little by little. It's been nearly a month since i've done this. I guess you could say i got rid of all my distractions.
While i don't strive for self isolation or motivate it in any sort. Now i feel weightless, like a huge load off my shoulders has been lifted. It came down to me leaving everyone that now i feel like myself again. And i'm choosing to work on myself now.
From what i had been doing, my study routine now goes uninterrupted due to the lack of these distractions, i have time to work out and i'm happy to not live on pleasure. It probably isn't the answer, but this extreme lack of social interaction does take a toll sometimes. I don't intend to hurt people, but it feels like i need to do this. Now of course i can't go my entire life without meeting people, but i wished to start over again. Feel like myself again. I don't need to fit in anymore. I do what i want now. This was extreme but i don't think i'll regret doing this.
I felt like i wasn't good enough with where i was. I was getting too comfortable and i wanted to be better. I felt like i had the potential to do more. I won't let life go on autopilot. Now, life feels like i'm back at square one again. It hurts sometimes. But hey, a man who has lost everything has everything to gain. it is what it is. I'll recreate myself, possibly even better than i was back then.
Maybe i'll gain better friends, maybe i'll gain someone special again.. till then, i'll become the best i can be. I just needed the push to do so.
Thank you niko, you definitely know what's going on in people's lives. Haven't forgotten that one time you talked to me on stream. love ur vids!
Really appreciate you bringing up the story of your college buddy. Just wrapped up my first semester of college and I feel fucking awful. I made so many mistakes that I’ve been waiting for a fresh start. But now I have it. and I have good hopes for the future with what I’ve learned.
Thank you for sharing this video and your experiences. This video really spoke to me, especially because of where I am in my life.
I’m 26 years old and feel so lost right now. I have a bachelors in criminal justice and I was recently a police officer for about a year and realized it wasn’t for me. Now I am just lost and not sure what to do with my life. I know I have to try something new and start over I’m just not sure where to start.
Keep doing what you’re doing and inspiring people, I love your videos.
thank you niko i needed this - what a G
NO WAY HE HEARTED ME THANK YOU NIKO even though i for sure know you cant read this
Absolutely needed this, I'm going through quite a tough time and I decided that I will not be in the group that my friends did and also might change career. I have been doing what I was supposed to but I'm done with that, I don't like some friends that I had, I don't like the career that I'm in so I'm starting over now (except for my career which I can only start over next year), staying on that career had made me feel terrible and deteriorate my mental state plus some friends that I had also did that.
Thank God that this video popped out just when I needed it, thank you Niko for making it.
That inspiring speech with just the right minecraft music was magic! 11:32
Also those shaders are looking sharp.
these word are no lie some of the best I've heard that were put together like this. I actually love the idea of starting over and how you reminded us that change can be good. thank you broski :)
Niko, I only found your channel last night and ive binged a lot of your videos, thank you for being you. Ive recently just cut off relationships with friends and just quit my job, so this video really help me think about my future
Thanks a lot man, your "yapping" is changing lives here. W brotherly advice man. Really appreciate it!!
Haven’t seen your vids in a few months but this one was recommended to me at the perfect time, I’m leaving my management job I’ve been at for years to go learn to be a plumber. This video came at the perfect time
A wise man once said "One Niko video a day, keeps the therapist away"
Ironically, “niko” means “nobody” in my language. You can shape yourself to be whoever you want to be. You are (not a nobody).
Wait that’s interesting what is your language?
@@nikoyaps I know it’s very close to that in all Slavic languages such as Macedonian, but it’s only exactly niko in Serbian (probably).
Like in Czech, “ni” is a negation and “kdo” means who, so it’s like “not who,” nobody. In Serbian they just lost that extra consonant the other Slav languages still have.
I’m in the process of the same thing man, starting over gives us a clean slate and right now it’s something I need after a bad relationship and environment
I would say, keep the Minecraft music in the background. I find that calm/nostalgic vibe absolutly perfect for this kind of videos.
Anyways, love your content, keep it up!
i like how you think out loud and within that, provide a sense of guidance bc it’s easier for my ears to sit with compared to self help cringe essentially telling me what i should think and do. you actually let us do that ourselves. ok i go sub now
FATHER NIKO DROPPED 🙏🙏🙏
Is youtube listening to my therapy sessions...? I came here for minecraft, as a 23 year old who just started their yearly 1 week of wanting to play it. This is just beautiful to find instead. Thank you, my man. Thank you.
This video reminds me of old UA-cam, the format is so laid back and feels like a conversation, it’s pretty nice
I definitely needed to hear that thank you so much.
thank you for making these videos. I didnt think i would be able to sleep today, my relationship ended today, but the few videos i watched from you made me feel... at peace?
The hurt is still lingering there but it isnt at the front anymore. It isnt my only emotion anymore
just discovered you and i love your videos man i just wish you all the best and to everyone who watch your videos :)
the minecraft music coming in as soon as you started to go into detail was so perfect
I think it's not a coincidence that I subbed to you and in this moment in my life, where I don't know where to go or what to do with it, you upload this video... Thanks a lot man :)
Thank you Niko. I resonate with what you say. I'm currently quitting a job I have for an equivalent but much better paying one (both are music teaching). I love teaching music, and while I am sad to leave many of my students behind by quitting the job I have, I am happy I made this decision. I couldn't see myself anymore working hard and passionately, giving all my energy, all for a small pay. I don't want to suffer through decades of "building my experience" and be an old man before I can be payed well for my work.
This feels very very good to listen to. Its both reassuring and kinda waked me up in scrolling that i could do so much stuff and yet i wasnt, so thank you
I agree. I would just add never be afraid to try something new, no matter your age.
what if you've started over like 5 times and its just a predictable cycle.....
Maybe instead of just restarting Just keep going. If you work hard you will get the good stuff. Nobody knows exactly how there life will turn out but if you work hard it WILL be good. One thing that can help you find purpose in life if following god. I hope you have a great day🫵✝️
i haven't figured out the answer to that myself and am stuck in the same loop, but i think small changes could eventually help; as in for where im stuck, ive been trying to take notes of what causes me to not get out of this loop and what i know needs to be done in order to change it, and implementing the same asap could be of help. it feels horrible and endless but im just trying to find myself at a place where it's peaceful, and i hope you do too
Then look for the pattern and change it. Something isn't working, and it just needs some tweaking. It might take a few tries but it gets there.
I would live it regardless of being predictable, because even if it’s predictable doesn’t mean you can’t change anything about it
@@calebcamarillo3203I'm not necessarily talking about overall. But looking for the pattern that causes things to go wrong. Mine was getting to good at my job and getting bored. I've been looking for ways to keep my job interesting now.
Wow, I expected a vid about restarting in games..
Turns out this video is exactly what I needed to hear.
I feel stuck in a career that is destroying my mental health, I recently finally quit. i am still working my last few weeks here, and it's super scary.
I don't have another job lined up yet, but I can't stay where I am. I fell into an intense depression recently, as I felt like I couldn't change. This video really inspires me, so much so I am crying right now. I feel like I can start over, change my environment, and hopefully my attitude.
i quit my dead end job a few weeks ago for a better paying job and its been the best thing ive done for myself in a while, i can already see the difference mentally.
i may be working more hours, but im not working long nights anymore and im free at the weekends
changing anything major about your life is always terrifying, but sometimes the most terrifying thing is whats best for you
Unironically, this video is kinda what I needed. I've been tinking with Unreal engine but never really finishing anything or pushing what I know forward. Maybe this was a sign to give it a go from square one again... Thank you! : )
Starting over is difficult, starting over hurts...But sometimes it's the only way forward. Currently I'm trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship. It sucks, feeling like I'll never be the same, like I'll never find that again. But I know that ultimately this is the only way for me to find happiness. Starting over gives you the opportunity to find who you want to be and what you want to do. Restarting is scary, but in the end; life goes on no matter what and that reset might be exactly what leads you where you want to be.
I very recently just started a new UA-cam channel (different channel than this) for the game studio I have wanted to start for years. It’s a completely new chapter in my life and it was scary to take the leap, but I’m very excited to see what the future holds.

Niko you could not have made this video at a better time for my current situation, thank you for this.
I'm not the best with words, so thank you.
Your words opened my eyes
I don't comment on videos much, but I wanted to say that I really needed this. Thank you, Niko! :)
at the end of the day it's just about pursuing interests until you find that one you fall in love with. Don't be afraid to take risks while you're young the safety plan is always gonna be there just don't ever let money be the motivator
I spent a lot of my life restarting games that I love usually fallout games, resident evil, sims or Minecraft even before I’ve beaten them that play through and I always wondered why but I’ve made the realization I start over in them so much because it’s a symbol that I want to start over in life but simply it isn’t an option
niko, i sincerely thank you. You may not know me, but you, you helped a lot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
9:12 there’s 104 of summer vacation…
I feel that most of this isn't really related to the video...but for some reason i started thinking about this while i was listening to you.
Not gonna lie, i'm at a very very low point at my life, but i'm also starting to be more honest with myself and others, and finally telling the whole truth to my therapist. And even though like 80% of my just gave up on life, for some reason the remaining 20% wants to keep going...to do what i want and what i like, not worrying about the future/not having a job or goal etc. And the feeling i have is that someday, when i understand myself better and actually start to like myself, my life will take a WILD turn. I just hope it's for the best...
So yeah, starting over and leaving the past behind, healing wounds that should've been healed long ago, and focusing on my life NOW and just go with the flow with whatever i wanna do, might be the right choice. Like, fuck, all of my friends keep saying i'm creative and wonder how can i manage having so many hobbies...but i never got to fully dedicate myself to any of them. I always kept leaping from place to place, even when things were going alright, just because of pure paranoia and low self esteem. I wonder how many things i've missed just by not following any path to the end....but maybe the time to make a move is getting closer, after so many years. And i hope i make the right move this time, or at least stick with it no matter what my mind tells me.
Thanks for this, Niko. I hope i can get through this and keep watching your videos, and maybe comment "i made it" in the future. Many hugs 🫂
Reading this hit too close to home
At your lowest is when you truly know yourself. You have nowhwere else to go but up at rock bottom. I used to be at a point in my life where if it kept on that track by the time i turn 25 i was going to end it all. Im glad i kept trying. Life is worth it
@@leandrogutierrez3961 Currently i managed to bury myself even deeper in shit and hate myself even more, but I'm glad you got better, though! 🫂
@@leandrogutierrez3961 Things are getting better. Slowly. I'm also glad I'm still here :)
Early 30s here and I have to say listening to your video made me think there maybe changes coming soon for my life starting today. thanks you for sharing... great video.
love your message brother truly inspiring
Not too long ago I restarted a UA-cam channel as well and while rn its not working I believe that it can but even if it doesn’t I’m glad that I switched because now I’m able of trying new things, I do videos on geometry dash but maybe I’ll restart over again who knows (right now tho I’m not able to play because I screwed my wrist pretty bad, though I had carpel tunnel but thankfully I don’t )
Anyway to the people reading this I wish you a good day and good luck on whatever you are doing whether you have been on it for a while or just started over
This is a great video and it seems i found it at a great time too thx man.
Its good to listen to someones take on a story thats similar to mine.
god the fact that this video popped up when i'm about to move to a different country in less than 24hrs
thanks man
Hey man, great video, I like the way you present real themes and I couldn't agree more. I also had/currently have this same problem and still pushing through 💪
I always say to myself that I will play those games after I finish games that I'm currently playing... but those games I'm playing takes loots of time for me to progress in them. Not sure if I should keep that going or if I wish to start new ones.
Recently, I started liking photography, but I don't have a camera jet + I doubt I could find jobs where I could do photography and have a secure job.
I'm still lost and deciding on what I want to focus, but sooner or later I will have to get a job and after that, my time to pick and getting used to new stuff will be long over.
For me I'm always trying to find the perfect seed, I know it'll probably never happen but the journey of discovering oddity after oddity is somewhat...calming? Feels like I'm able to get up and walk away without commitment, heals my life honestly
I have really been wanting to hear this because i have been wanting to do high school in Finland for a very long time i knew everything with moving and citizenships would work fine but this video has finally pushed me too not be worried and go for it.
So few months ago I lost a dear friend trying to go on being something more this girl meant the world to me and I find out I got dragged along for two years basically she wanted a relationship with me and I was in rough spot with my mental state and stuff few months ago I tried to commit and u know we were getting ready to be together to find out that she was seeing some else behind my back basically or wanted to try something different I guess or whatever. this been the hardest thing I've gone through in awhile cause I still love her but this experience has made me feel like I lost myself and but this video has given me some hope thankful for running into this video
Hey, Niko! Loved this video so much, I would defiantly recommend you doing many more vids of this style. And about adding music to your videos, I actually think that adding music to your would distract viewers from what you might be talking about. Idk, do what you think is best, but I wouldn't do music, at least not with high volume.
Be it life or video game we all fail at some point and have to restart and that’s ok. What matters is how you deal with it and grow, we all make mistakes and that’s alright
Man hearing this gives me hope for the future
how tf you know exactly what's going on with my life, u always make great videos.
I took One 2 year course. Then started over after 2 years, reset and even moved towns for my gf and a job and that was. Big deal for me as I had to battle my crippling social anxiety, i didn’t finish getting my red seal in that trade. I didn’t enjoy it the way i thought I would. I then re started and took a job at a rebar yard/shop… that was interesting for one year. It was a lot of work and it was healthy for me for a bit although it was hard on the head at times, i enjoyed the times out in the yard and watching the sun come up was beautiful. But it wasn’t fulfilling or making enough money. I was always kinda a guy who stood out in my community socially. I ended up deciding I couldn’t do it anymore. I decided I best go back to school. I spent all of the money I had saved to go back to school again. Now on a different but similar trade. I feel un motivated at times and sad that I had to re start but I kinda feel like it had to happen. I’m now a 1st year in my trade (3 to go) and I’m not super good yet but improving daily. Idk if I waisted my time or not. 3 years of school and still a 1st year. But I guess it takes time to get above a 1st year doesn’t it? Idk anyway. Idk why I’m even commenting this. I don’t fit in never have. Thanks for the vids. They are awesome content but they are so much more than that for so many people. Thank you.
i recently started a new minecraft youtube channel, i started this roblox channel 2 years ago and i want to start over because minecraft helped me through tough times in my childhood, so i want to help it back.
Σε ακούμε με τις καρδιές μας αδελφέ, Σ' ευχαριστώ, Nικολα
Lovely video-i needed to hear this. I liked the music I felt it added a lot to it!
This video reached me at the exact right time, thank you.
Having a shit month and I’m about to be 31 in a few months.
Broke and moved back in with parents. They took me back thankfully and applying for jobs here and there. Few rejections but I’m keeping on going.
Hopefully years from now, I’ll be in a much better place.
Hope to come back to this since I’ll be leaving a comment.
love these videos so much, will remember this advice for the future 👍
Niko I love how you’re putting this in RTX. Please, oh, please post more of these Videos in RTX. I want to see you blow up like crazy rlly soon.
I'm a ballet/jazz/contemporary dancer. I am going to have to start from scratch after a knee surgery in 2 weeks. Needed this fr
Your videos are awesome! With the music in the background it’s just perfect! God Bless❤
currently considering transferring universitys after the first 3 months were not what I expected. I am now in the process to moving and starting in a place that better matches me. thanks for your advice and wish me luck! lol
I remember when i first moved in to the states,i lived 20 years in Cuba before that and that wasnt just a new page for me. It was a whole new book. Specifically this one time that my cousin which i used to live in his house back then for a while and worked with him.
I will always presented myself as Leo,thats how i liked to be called,thats who i became. He insisted saying "your name is Leandro",laughing at me. Yes that might be true,but i want to be whoever i want to be. People who saw you in diapers one time will always see you that way,never take you seriuosly and underestimate you.
Now im a new self,with people that value me and respect me,i would take a clean slate anytime.
Thanks Niko I needed this
To add to this: I’d never know the things I know now if it wasn’t for small resets I made. The first major one was switching from art to networking as a major. I met a lot of close friends from this switch.
thank u bro, really, thank you.
Great Video mate, this channel is an underrated gem
i dont relate to alot of what you say, but its nice to listen to you.
So when i was 16 i got the feeling that should go to a doctors or a therapist about my mental health. At the time for yefeltmy mental health was up and down, ive tried doing everything all by myself but that didnt work and even speaking to friends help, but i need something more. Now im 21 and im going to the doctors tomorrow morning about my mental. And im probably going to do therapy. I have felt this feeling for 5 years and ive been in a constant spiral. Wish me luck niko
