I started crying as the video was coming to an end, my dad died this year. On the day of his death when he returned home after buying some groceries, he entered the room I was in just to tell me that he bought the ice cream I love and I thanked him. As soon as he left the room I had the urge to get up and go give him a hug and thank him again. However, I was watching something on my laptop and thought that I could hug him later at night before we say good night. I was never able to give him that hug, he died that evening. I miss him so much, I miss him every single day. You never know when you may lose someone you love. I hugged him earlier that day and yet, I wish I hugged him twice..

This is why I have this life rule: “Never go to bed upset”. These words were spoken to me by a family friend who lost her husband during the night. They argued and went to bed without making up and he had a heart attack. Life truly is short and you never know what the day may bring...or take.
Every day can be my last, or yours, or anyone's. It's important to keep that in mind, whether we're interacting with a stranger or with our own selves.
Don’t worry too much. The probability is different for all of us. If one has bad habits, health issues, or lives carelessly, etc, that speaks for itself.
Happily we all live not thinking it is our last day … too much anguish … i would be so bad! I know that i will die one day and i try to live each day the best way i can … expecting a tomorow
I live a constant life of trying to bring other people up but the only memories I can recall clearly and with distaste are the ones in which I mistreated someone.
My best friend, who was also my cousin..died when I was 16 and she was 17. I've never lived a day since..taking anyone for granted. It was a lesson I learned early..an excruciatingly painful one. And I've never forgotten it in 38 years.
Relationships nowadays: We’re together, but we’re not together. We’re alone together. When was the last time you gave your whole uninterrupted attention to someone? Ponder that. Learn from that.
For that matter, when was the last time you gave uninterrupted attention to yourself? Lots of people don't take time to reflect and think about their lives, ultimately spreading their misery to others.
At the end of the day, that doesn’t even matter. What truly and only matters in this life is your personal experience of it and your own happiness. Treating others well can make people happy of course, but someone can treat people like shit all their lives and be happy about it.
Going a through a break up and me and my ex used to watch these vids together. It’s funny how at the time I thought I’d never watch one of your vids with out that person. Buts it’s crazy how quickly life can change and how quickly time goes by
That really touched me. You shouldn't live every day as if it were the last day of your life. Rather, you should live every day as if it were the last day of the lives of your loved ones. The outside counts, other people count.
@Chris Carlone It was a psychedelic experience with DMT that caused it. ^-^ Didn't realise it until long after my trip had ended, but it was wonderful.
Desire is the root to all unhappiness and the ego simply feeds this. Let go the ego let go desire and just be. Just be virtuous. Don’t judge, love. 🙏🏼. I too have had my ego taken. It was so very painful, but possibly the best thing that could have happened. I was so living for tomorrow completely consumed by the ego. Not being a good person. I still have struggles for example with my mental health, but I know I’m now at least on the right path.
@@FriedFreya - did it take you through the yellow/orange haze to the door that opens allowing you to actually witness the one consciousness as an all knowing entity? That was my experience and several other people I know have independently reported the same journey.
@@jacobrackham432 Nah, I believe it showed me the multiple universes that get lain out as time goes and splits happen. I didn't do enough to have that sort of shared experience, it was just a single hit~ ^-^; (that's all there was) I hope I could get some more someday and perhaps get taken there. It would tie in with what I already know is true. ❣️ I felt the togetherness of everything, the heartbeat of the earth and the rotation of the galaxy. I felt the universe expanding, I felt time break into pieces and lose all meaning. I felt an immense, overwhelming joy, paired with every sorrow I've ever had. I saw that my body was its own being, and the tears I shed seemed to be alive. It was beautiful. ^^
This was a hard one to watch; I try to live every day with the idea of this and the idea you don’t know what everyone’s story is. I try to make people as happy as possible, and people often comment of my odd behavior of showing genuine compassion even to those who don’t deserve it; and to those who comment, I say “I don’t want one of us to leave on a bad note”. I’m not saying we’ll die, but I’m not risking the finial moment over maybes. I love you all
That really hurts, I can't even imagine how it feels like to lose someone you really care about cause it never happened to me, but as I saw this video I was imagining how it would be like if happen so for now on I'm going to treat everybody like it was their last day on earth, thanks for that!
You’re a young person and that’s good. Enjoy your life. It’s funny, we all experience the death of a loved one. Eventually, you will too. But that will happen a long time from now. I don’t mean to bring you down or be morbid, but I’m just keeping it real. Still, enjoy your life and learn from it that you should cherish your family, your good friends. When you’re young, you think you’re immortal. However, everything and everyone must come to an end. That’s why we value a rose instead of a rock. A rose is fleeting and a rock is eternal.
My Mother has dementia and chronic nerve pain. She makes me so angry and I get very little sleep since she moved in. I’m afraid I will only remember these days.
@@outquick you gotta change that mindset brotha please. Only way you can start moving forward. I’m not perfect man. I was raised by a single mom. An 80s baby. Up until my late 30s I was still fucking up hard. And then I had my son. I can’t explain how it happened g but my son just turned 2, I have a very good job and I actually learned to invest in the stock market this year. But I still feel like a fuck up because I still do hard drugs. Was my son the catalyst to get my shit together? Maybe but then me still doing drugs and putting myself at risk with the law says otherwise. I’m going to go crazy if I try to figure it out. We’re human bro and we’re all scarred in some way. Your life is never going to be perfect. What I do know is that I’m doing way better financially and I’m taking care of my son. Glass half full I’m telling you.
Don't feel guilty. You have caregiver's syndrome. It's a real thing and it literally makes people sick. They sell long term care insurance that provides respite time for caregivers. It's that serious.

I’ve been thinking about stuff like this for a while now, thank you for putting my thoughts to words. Instead of living our best life today, why not make someone else’s day with you one of THEIR best days because tomorrow really is never guaranteed. Thank you again, this was beautiful.
Knowing that tomorrow, no not even tomorrow, an hour or two later, I will fully forget about this video and go on with my usual busy life... I feel sad and empty...
This is a deeply troubling video. Its central message seems to be that you should tolerate someone's appalling behaviour just because you love them. That's how abusive relationships continue. The main protagonist here is in an abusive relationship with someone who appears to be a selfish, passive aggressive personality. He's further torturing himself by re-running a their last day and beating himself up over something he has no reason to feel bad for. They had agreed to go to her parents. They'd agreed a time. He gets ready. She messes around and then decides to have something to eat because obviously his time, the time of someone she supposedly loves, is unimportant to her. All her responses to his complaints fail to acknowledge her unreasonable behaviour. She then places him in an uncomfortable position of making a promise on his behalf, one which would certainly cause him embarrassment if it failed to come to fruition. She dismisses his feelings once again. The whole relationship comes across as toxic. He has regrets about his behaviour and in some instances he may well have been in the wrong. She kicked off the negative spiral, though.
What an amazing new way of looking at 'regret' that I've never contemplated before. Every day I rewatch a video on this channel hoping the subscriber count grow giving me hope for the rest of humanity
This is by far my most favorite story on this channel. I've listened to it several times over the last couple of years, and every time it's an emotional roller coaster. Thank you for all that you do.
The 2 parts I remember from this video and need to say to friends: "People often say: Live everyday as if it were your last. But far less commonly do you hear: Live everyday as if it were everyone else's." "If this were the last time, the memory that I would have to relive over and over as the last one, would it hurt to watch more than it has to?"
This video hit me hard. Although I am still young, I often fear I will hear the news "You loved one is gone." I argue and fight with my siblings, although I love them so much. My sister and I have fought at least once a day, and this video has made me realize, at any moment, that argument could be our last. Thank you so much, I will try to heal our relationship before it is too late.
After my Father passed I began to look back on our relationship and his life. As I learned more facts I realized how difficult his life was, how hard he work, and how he'd held the family together. There are so many things that I did not see or realize and I am so sorry for that.
Sad when you kinda experienced this. You wish you could reverse the time to change those moments into better ones or at least talk/hug the person who you truly care for. Now's the person gone and all you have left is her memory. Life's strange.
Incredibly humbling experience. Thank you God for reminding me of this truly wonderful gift I have called life. It’s not long. “The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.” No matter how crappy my day may have been, I should still give love to those around me. No matter what I go through, It could always be someone’s last day. Maybe that day they were feeling bad and down about themselves, and I want to be able to at least have given them true, genuine love. I want to embrace those around me with love. This life Is a beautiful gift. Watching the beauty of existence, full of color, go around me. The beauty, the color, and the magnificence of the sunset, with It’s warmness and the rays of sun through the clouds. Being underwater and looking up at the waves and the sunlight faintly In the wavy looking distance. The coolness of the water, gently wrapped around you, Is such a gift. We ought to live this life as Father Intended. To the fullest , and for His glory. What a gift.
i didn't realise how much this video would trigger me until i watched it. my parents divorced after many years of arguing when i was much younger than i am now, and after that i moved far away with my mother (who is like john in this story). these behaviours, their arguments, the way john behaves - it's all so real and so terrifying. i can feel my brain and eyes wanting to cry but the tears won't come.
About 40 years ago I worked in a local shop / Deli after school . One of the guys who worked there was pretty old - mid 60s at least . He had been born with a congenital spinal deformity which gave him a hunch back and meant he had to wear an orthopaedic shoe on one foot . He was the best butcher in the shop but was paid less than anyone else because he was ' disabled ' . He was made fun of most days by the others in the shop and by kids in the street . I'm ashamed to say I joined in with it . ( even just writing this now I feel a burning sense of shame. ). But, I was a kid and didnt know any better . He lived alone : had no social life : No friends or relationships . He just worked and went home. Anyway I left school , graduated and some years later I was back in town and called in at the shop . Jokingly I asked if the " old guy " was still there . I got blank looks from the ones he used to work with but one guy said he heard that he'd passed away a few years back. So...after 69 years of pain and suffering he'd passed away and been more or less forgotten . For most of that time I doubt whether he ever experienced a kind loving word from anyone. Today I'm probably the last person who does remember him. And this may be the last time his name is ever mentioned by anyone ? So....anyone reading this please spare a thought for him ? His name was Bryce Martin. RIP.
This is why I enjoy living by myself. I am only responsible for me, and I try to avoid others and divulge giving out little information about my personal life. I am easily upset. typically OCD, and don't want to be bothered by others.
As I and my parents have gotten older, I have become more mindful and appreciative of the time we spend together. My mom is in Stage 3 kidney failure, and each night, when she goes to sleep, I wonder if she will wake up in the morning. Thinking this way sometimes feels morbid, but it also helps me focus on what's important: every moment I have with the people in my life. I make a point of trying to make the day a little better for the people around me. The moment my mother was diagnosed, my priorities changed. It was a horrible time for the whole family, and suddenly death wasn't just an abstract, far-in-the-future concept. All I want to do now is create happy memories, because one day, unfortunately, those memories will be all I have left. This story is a sobering, important reminder about mortality and regret, but the lesson can have positive, far-reaching implications.

This hits hard. I know a wonderful person who is now gone from us, and the last thing I ever sent her was if she liked memes. She never responded. Now all I can see are the thousands of ways our last conversations could have been different, but the message never hit me until just now, even though I've read and replayed in my mind those exchanges over and over again. I should have said more. I should have said less. And now nothing can be said at all. Definitely one of the most powerful videos I've watched in a while. You're a very talented writer, mate. Thanks for sharing this. You're making people's lives better with what you do ❤
Really grateful that ive experienced these kinds of frustrations with my partner but thankfully we always talk things out. Life is so precious, even though we cant always control our triggers we can manage our reactions and make efforts to not take it out on people we love. Thank you for this reminder
This channel is a treasure. Thank you for such high quality content. Every week or so I get excited when a new video comes out and I'm never disappointed.
I like to imagine that because the video made them feel sad they disliked the video so youtube doesn't recommend sad videos. not because the video is bad.
Huh wow this really helped me. I never agreed with the saying of “live every day as if it were you last” because essentially your planning for your death and not your life my personal counter saying is “live everyday as if it’s not your last” but this new quote means so much more and makes so much more sense to me.
I live with my grandmother who is such a blessing to me and she keeps the family together. While she is someone I love I relentlessly am at odds with her lack of ability to adapt and think on the go. Shes so dependent on rules that often she can be rather predictable and bland. While I wish it wasnt so strongly rooted in her life but its those same traits that make her dependable and consistent. And I had to learn that she was not wrong nor am I right for being different than her. All things are useful to the point of moderation. A little bit of everything can do anything.
"People say live everyday as if it was your last, but far less commonly do you hear "live everyday as if it was someone else's"" As someone who has lost good friends this gave me major goosebumps
I watched until 3:19 and basically understood. People don't stop long enough to back peddle on what it is they may have done wrong or could have done better. We instantly shift blame from ourselves because we build ourselves up as the protagonist in life. Any mishap or misfortune that comes one's way surely can't be because of what they themselves did. Who can I blame and where can I get that guilt pass at to claim that I've done nothing wrong. When in fact it is a giant culmination of many things that took place to create any one outcome. When you can't understand and see that, you fail to see a bigger picture of humility and patience. We detest change so much that we can't fathom looking at ourselves and saying "What did I do wrong.. I need to check that and get myself in order." Gonna finish the video though cause this is good.
I already knew from the first few seconds of this video where you were gonna go with this. I suspect a lot if not most of your viewers did. 'Ugh, it's another one of those "appreciate them while they're still here" kinda videos' Yet you still managed to make it fresh and poignant enough that it got through to me rather than annoy me. That's some great talent you have there.
The fact that john reexperiences that last day over and over again, even though the memories were painful, says a lot about our inclination to live and experience life even when life's not what we want it to be. Live for the moment.
I'm reminded. If i don't truly know and love my self. I have nothing good to offer anyone, let alone a marriage relationship. Yes all my problems are of my own making 99.9 % of the time. Very good topic in this clip. Didn't find much of a solution but the brutal honesty and maybe that's the point... Thanks again, share the video pepole!
So many have stories of regret and dysfunction. My story for my dad is one of bittersweet, but near perfect goodbye. My dad passed away in 2016. I spent the last 10 days of his life by his side every night. We hadn't said an unkind word to each other in at least a decade. When he decided to discontinue his treatments, we knew he would only last another 3 days. I summoned the rest of our extended family, and almost everyone who could come, made it to his bedside to say their goodbyes. My last words to him were, "Thank you for making me, raising me, and everything you taught me. Thank you for being the greatest dad I could ask for in a thousand lifetimes. If there is a life after this one, don't watch over me--go have fun with the loved ones you've missed for years--just come back for me when it's my time to go--I'll be looking for you." He passed, peacefully, and surrounded by love. We all die one day--I'm glad he got the goodbye and ending he wanted.
In the end, being life the finite experience that it is, the prevailing feeling at the end is one of deep sadness. If one lead a happy life it's sad to part from it. If not, it's sad that it wasn't. Yes, and there's no happy goodbyes where loved ones are concerned. So be happy while you can; it's not going to last forever.

Wow. My son & I had a 2 hour argument last night after his bike was stolen. I wasn't mad about the bike but I overstepped to "help" register it as stolen but he didn't want help. He wanted me to listen, not take over to solve the hurt. We made up this morning and are back to normal but not after many hurtful things were said between us. Thanks to the algorithm (who ever says that?!) for showing me this today. I appreciate the insight and hope I remember next time not to "take over" and not to argue unnecessarily. 🙏

"Live everyday as if it was everyone else's."
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it meant to live every day as if it were someone else last day.
This was a hard one to watch; I try to live every day with the idea of this and the idea you don’t know what everyone’s story is. I try to make people as happy as possible, and people often comment of my odd behavior of showing genuine compassion even to those who don’t deserve it; and to those who comment, I say “I don’t want one of us to leave on a bad note”. I’m not saying we’ll die, but I’m not risking the finial moment over maybes. I love you all
That really hurts, I can't even imagine how it feels like to lose someone you really care about cause it never happened to me, but as I saw this video I was imagining how it would be like if happen so for now on I'm going to treat everybody like it was their last day on earth, thanks for that!
You’re a young person and that’s good. Enjoy your life. It’s funny, we all experience the death of a loved one. Eventually, you will too. But that will happen a long time from now. I don’t mean to bring you down or be morbid, but I’m just keeping it real. Still, enjoy your life and learn from it that you should cherish your family, your good friends. When you’re young, you think you’re immortal. However, everything and everyone must come to an end. That’s why we value a rose instead of a rock. A rose is fleeting and a rock is eternal.
@@nightowl5475 thats a fucking mind change comentary, thanks for this buddy
No one ever knows for sure which memory will be their last of someone, until they can't form any anymore :)
Wow
I am so glad that my loving wife and I do not argue like this. I am so thankful for her, and I try to make sure she knows it everyday.
I had a girlfriend like this. We broke up 1 year ago and I am still not over it. Good to hear you take good care of your wife.
Live everyday as it were everyone else's. Now that's a line I have a feeling I'll never forget
This changed my whole perspective..!!
i don’t get it why would my life change if it was someone elses
My Mother has dementia and chronic nerve pain. She makes me so angry and I get very little sleep since she moved in. I’m afraid I will only remember these days.
@McKenzie Thank you.
I’m sorry and it’s easy for me to say it’ll get better when it probably won’t. Glass half full!!!! Never half empty remember that.
@@outquick you gotta change that mindset brotha please. Only way you can start moving forward. I’m not perfect man. I was raised by a single mom. An 80s baby. Up until my late 30s I was still fucking up hard. And then I had my son. I can’t explain how it happened g but my son just turned 2, I have a very good job and I actually learned to invest in the stock market this year. But I still feel like a fuck up because I still do hard drugs. Was my son the catalyst to get my shit together? Maybe but then me still doing drugs and putting myself at risk with the law says otherwise. I’m going to go crazy if I try to figure it out. We’re human bro and we’re all scarred in some way. Your life is never going to be perfect. What I do know is that I’m doing way better financially and I’m taking care of my son. Glass half full I’m telling you.
Don't feel guilty. You have caregiver's syndrome. It's a real thing and it literally makes people sick. They sell long term care insurance that provides respite time for caregivers. It's that serious.
"To act is to anchor in an imminent future, so imminent it becomes almost tangible; to act is to feel you are consubstantial with that future." -Emil Cioran
Holy shit 🤯
I’ve been thinking about stuff like this for a while now, thank you for putting my thoughts to words. Instead of living our best life today, why not make someone else’s day with you one of THEIR best days because tomorrow really is never guaranteed. Thank you again, this was beautiful.
Knowing that tomorrow, no not even tomorrow, an hour or two later, I will fully forget about this video and go on with my usual busy life... I feel sad and empty...
IKEMEN Osaka-ben!【大阪弁】 the great way to remember this video is by remembering your favorite line from what he was saying
"I feel sad and empty" - Same.
Self awareness
Make a change then
This is a deeply troubling video. Its central message seems to be that you should tolerate someone's appalling behaviour just because you love them. That's how abusive relationships continue. The main protagonist here is in an abusive relationship with someone who appears to be a selfish, passive aggressive personality. He's further torturing himself by re-running a their last day and beating himself up over something he has no reason to feel bad for.
They had agreed to go to her parents. They'd agreed a time. He gets ready. She messes around and then decides to have something to eat because obviously his time, the time of someone she supposedly loves, is unimportant to her. All her responses to his complaints fail to acknowledge her unreasonable behaviour. She then places him in an uncomfortable position of making a promise on his behalf, one which would certainly cause him embarrassment if it failed to come to fruition. She dismisses his feelings once again.
The whole relationship comes across as toxic. He has regrets about his behaviour and in some instances he may well have been in the wrong. She kicked off the negative spiral, though.
What an amazing new way of looking at 'regret' that I've never contemplated before. Every day I rewatch a video on this channel hoping the subscriber count grow giving me hope for the rest of humanity
This is by far my most favorite story on this channel. I've listened to it several times over the last couple of years, and every time it's an emotional roller coaster. Thank you for all that you do.
The 2 parts I remember from this video and need to say to friends:
"People often say: Live everyday as if it were your last. But far less commonly do you hear: Live everyday as if it were everyone else's."
"If this were the last time, the memory that I would have to relive over and over as the last one, would it hurt to watch more than it has to?"
This video hit me hard. Although I am still young, I often fear I will hear the news "You loved one is gone." I argue and fight with my siblings, although I love them so much. My sister and I have fought at least once a day, and this video has made me realize, at any moment, that argument could be our last. Thank you so much, I will try to heal our relationship before it is too late.
You never know what your last memory with someone will be
After my Father passed I began to look back on our relationship and his life. As I learned more facts I realized how difficult his life was, how hard he work, and how he'd held the family together. There are so many things that I did not see or realize and I am so sorry for that.
Sad when you kinda experienced this. You wish you could reverse the time to change those moments into better ones or at least talk/hug the person who you truly care for. Now's the person gone and all you have left is her memory. Life's strange.
Incredibly humbling experience. Thank you God for reminding me of this truly wonderful gift I have called life. It’s not long. “The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.”
No matter how crappy my day may have been, I should still give love to those around me. No matter what I go through, It could always be someone’s last day. Maybe that day they were feeling bad and down about themselves, and I want to be able to at least have given them true, genuine love. I want to embrace those around me with love. This life Is a beautiful gift.
Watching the beauty of existence, full of color, go around me. The beauty, the color, and the magnificence of the sunset, with It’s warmness and the rays of sun through the clouds. Being underwater and looking up at the waves and the sunlight faintly In the wavy looking distance. The coolness of the water, gently wrapped around you, Is such a gift. We ought to live this life as Father Intended. To the fullest , and for His glory. What a gift.
i didn't realise how much this video would trigger me until i watched it. my parents divorced after many years of arguing when i was much younger than i am now, and after that i moved far away with my mother (who is like john in this story). these behaviours, their arguments, the way john behaves - it's all so real and so terrifying. i can feel my brain and eyes wanting to cry but the tears won't come.
I remember being like John when I was younger. So conceded. I made peace with that person, and now strive to be a better being to myself and others.
Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days you will be right. -- Benny Hill
About 40 years ago I worked in a local shop / Deli after school . One of the guys who worked there was pretty old -
mid 60s at least . He had been born with a congenital spinal deformity which gave him a hunch back and meant he had to wear an orthopaedic shoe on one foot . He was the best
butcher in the shop but was paid less than anyone else because he was ' disabled ' . He was made fun of most days
by the others in the shop and by kids in the street . I'm ashamed to say I joined in with it . ( even just writing this
now I feel a burning sense of shame. ). But, I was a kid and
didnt know any better . He lived alone : had no social life : No
friends or relationships . He just worked and went home.
Anyway I left school , graduated and some years later I was back in town and called in at the shop . Jokingly I asked if the " old guy " was still there . I got blank looks from the ones he used to work with but one guy said he heard that he'd passed away a few years back. So...after 69 years of
pain and suffering he'd passed away and been more or less
forgotten . For most of that time I doubt whether he ever
experienced a kind loving word from anyone.
Today I'm probably the last person who does remember him. And this may be the last time his name is ever mentioned by anyone ? So....anyone reading this please
spare a thought for him ? His name was Bryce Martin. RIP.
Rest in Peace
the way he compared glue to their relationship was so poetic
How can you possibly dislike this. There's no propaganda, just a story on enlightenment.
i started crying at the end wow this is the mindset we need
This is why I enjoy living by myself. I am only responsible for me, and I try to avoid others and divulge giving out little information about my personal life. I am easily upset. typically OCD, and don't want to be bothered by others.
Can't think of a single 'brilliant' comment that would add value to that so I'll just say bravo, well done
As I and my parents have gotten older, I have become more mindful and appreciative of the time we spend together. My mom is in Stage 3 kidney failure, and each night, when she goes to sleep, I wonder if she will wake up in the morning. Thinking this way sometimes feels morbid, but it also helps me focus on what's important: every moment I have with the people in my life. I make a point of trying to make the day a little better for the people around me. The moment my mother was diagnosed, my priorities changed. It was a horrible time for the whole family, and suddenly death wasn't just an abstract, far-in-the-future concept. All I want to do now is create happy memories, because one day, unfortunately, those memories will be all I have left. This story is a sobering, important reminder about mortality and regret, but the lesson can have positive, far-reaching implications.
Commenting for the algorithm cause this is excellent work and you deserve any and all attention.
I could listen to these videos for hours... They're like a mantra or prayer. Ty

This hits hard. I know a wonderful person who is now gone from us, and the last thing I ever sent her was if she liked memes. She never responded. Now all I can see are the thousands of ways our last conversations could have been different, but the message never hit me until just now, even though I've read and replayed in my mind those exchanges over and over again. I should have said more. I should have said less. And now nothing can be said at all.
Definitely one of the most powerful videos I've watched in a while. You're a very talented writer, mate. Thanks for sharing this. You're making people's lives better with what you do ❤

Wow.. this channel is so underrated.. every video is a solid movie plot ... Hats off to you .. keep up the great work. ❤️
not sure if 1.3 million subscribers can really be classified as "underrated"
@@TJfromEarthdon't you think this channel deserves much more than that ? And also look at the number of views
Really grateful that ive experienced these kinds of frustrations with my partner but thankfully we always talk things out. Life is so precious, even though we cant always control our triggers we can manage our reactions and make efforts to not take it out on people we love. Thank you for this reminder
The last thing I remembered was that I started to sleep better once I unplugged the beepy thing in the hospital
This channel is a treasure. Thank you for such high quality content. Every week or so I get excited when a new video comes out and I'm never disappointed.
Imagine watching this and going: “this was bad” and then disliking
I like to imagine that because the video made them feel sad they disliked the video so youtube doesn't recommend sad videos. not because the video is bad.
@@Jacket-b9t that is very True
Huh wow this really helped me. I never agreed with the saying of “live every day as if it were you last” because essentially your planning for your death and not your life my personal counter saying is “live everyday as if it’s not your last” but this new quote means so much more and makes so much more sense to me.
“....is if you cleared your browser history”
I live with my grandmother who is such a blessing to me and she keeps the family together. While she is someone I love I relentlessly am at odds with her lack of ability to adapt and think on the go. Shes so dependent on rules that often she can be rather predictable and bland. While I wish it wasnt so strongly rooted in her life but its those same traits that make her dependable and consistent. And I had to learn that she was not wrong nor am I right for being different than her. All things are useful to the point of moderation. A little bit of everything can do anything.
"People say live everyday as if it was your last, but far less commonly do you hear "live everyday as if it was someone else's""
As someone who has lost good friends this gave me major goosebumps
Me too
I watched until 3:19 and basically understood. People don't stop long enough to back peddle on what it is they may have done wrong or could have done better. We instantly shift blame from ourselves because we build ourselves up as the protagonist in life. Any mishap or misfortune that comes one's way surely can't be because of what they themselves did. Who can I blame and where can I get that guilt pass at to claim that I've done nothing wrong. When in fact it is a giant culmination of many things that took place to create any one outcome. When you can't understand and see that, you fail to see a bigger picture of humility and patience. We detest change so much that we can't fathom looking at ourselves and saying "What did I do wrong.. I need to check that and get myself in order." Gonna finish the video though cause this is good.
I'll try to stop Useless anger from now
I already knew from the first few seconds of this video where you were gonna go with this. I suspect a lot if not most of your viewers did. 'Ugh, it's another one of those "appreciate them while they're still here" kinda videos' Yet you still managed to make it fresh and poignant enough that it got through to me rather than annoy me. That's some great talent you have there.
Quite strange watching this when your name is Shannon lol
I am deeply grateful to all the wonderful people who created this channel. Thanks you
The fact that john reexperiences that last day over and over again, even though the memories were painful, says a lot about our inclination to live and experience life even when life's not what we want it to be.
Live for the moment.
I'm reminded. If i don't truly know and love my self. I have nothing good to offer anyone, let alone a marriage relationship. Yes all my problems are of my own making 99.9 % of the time.
Very good topic in this clip. Didn't find much of a solution but the brutal honesty and maybe that's the point...
Thanks again, share the video pepole!
This is uploaded last December 11. That evening my father died and I Have never felt so empty.
So many have stories of regret and dysfunction. My story for my dad is one of bittersweet, but near perfect goodbye. My dad passed away in 2016. I spent the last 10 days of his life by his side every night. We hadn't said an unkind word to each other in at least a decade. When he decided to discontinue his treatments, we knew he would only last another 3 days. I summoned the rest of our extended family, and almost everyone who could come, made it to his bedside to say their goodbyes. My last words to him were, "Thank you for making me, raising me, and everything you taught me. Thank you for being the greatest dad I could ask for in a thousand lifetimes. If there is a life after this one, don't watch over me--go have fun with the loved ones you've missed for years--just come back for me when it's my time to go--I'll be looking for you." He passed, peacefully, and surrounded by love. We all die one day--I'm glad he got the goodbye and ending he wanted.
I knew where this was going..
I still cried when it happened.
I know! Was so sad... 😔
In the end, being life the finite experience that it is, the prevailing feeling at the end is one of deep sadness. If one lead a happy life it's sad to part from it. If not, it's sad that it wasn't. Yes, and there's no happy goodbyes where loved ones are concerned. So be happy while you can; it's not going to last forever.
Life is fleeting. Embrace this rare gift. Every moment has meaning.
Here's my dose of existential crisis.
@Anderson Mendes haha. No.
wow! what a fresh and original comment! i sure hope some mouth breather doesnt just copy and paste it onto every single one of his videos until the heat death of the universe!
@Anderson Mendes why do you care so much u say it bothers you but you reply to almost every comment that brings I get it can be a bit annoying but it’s going to happen get over it
live every moment as if it’s the last memory you’ll ever make
I had a small fight with my gf before I watched this. Now I'm crying
Wow. My son & I had a 2 hour argument last night after his bike was stolen. I wasn't mad about the bike but I overstepped to "help" register it as stolen but he didn't want help. He wanted me to listen, not take over to solve the hurt. We made up this morning and are back to normal but not after many hurtful things were said between us. Thanks to the algorithm (who ever says that?!) for showing me this today. I appreciate the insight and hope I remember next time not to "take over" and not to argue unnecessarily. 🙏
