Hey man I just want you to know youre not alone in feeling that way Its totally normal to miss the magic you felt as a kid when everything was new and exciting and to feel a little empty once you realize the world isnt as simple as it seemed back then The fact that you can recognize and put words to these feelings already shows a lot of self-awareness and thats a big deal! With Black Ops 3's Chronicles and all the epic DLC it included, it feels like we've really reached peak Zombies, you know? But when the hype dies down, relying on developers to constantly wow us can leave you feeling empty. I was so disappointed after Alpha Omega released, and that's when I realized: I can't just wait for Treyarch to release new cards to keep me happy. So I forced myself to evolve. I got into sports, and now every game - especially the stupidest ones between Al Hilal and Al Nasser - is like Christmas to me! I feel that same spark of excitement without having to wait months (or years) for another DLC. It gets a lot better if you keep actively seeking out new experiences (like trying skiing). Truth is, we never really do run out of things we haven’t tried; it’s just finding the darn things. Just keep finding moments that surprise you, make you laugh, or remind you that there’s something worth looking forward to- and they’ll carry you a long, long way. Keep making stuff-like your UA-cam videos-or find other creative outlets. Pretty remarkable some of the places meaning and excitement can enter your life if you’re working on a project, however small or imperfect it may be. And if ever you feel really stuck and overwhelmed, remember that having a conversation with someone-a friend, a family member, or even a counselor-can really help you begin to see things from a different angle. You’re only 18. There is still much left to surprise you in the best of ways: new places, new foods, new hobbies, new people. Nostalgia has a lot of seductive power, but do not for a minute ever believe it all is or was the greatest quotient that life has to offer. Truly, there is so much more waiting for you. Take it one step at a time and keep your heart open to the possibility, but don’t forget that you matter just by being you. Sending you positive vibes, and hope you keep sharing your journey. You’re definitely not alone.
@@TheTwizProject Wow, this comment really hit home thank you so much for taking the time to share this. You’ve captured something so real about nostalgia and that feeling of longing for the magic we felt when things were new and exciting. But you’re right, growth comes from learning to find joy in new moments and not just waiting around for something external to spark it again. Your perspective on evolving and seeking out fresh experiences, even in places we might not expect, is honestly so inspiring. It’s a reminder that there’s still so much out there waiting to surprise us if we stay open to it. I really appreciate you being so open and thoughtful here it means a lot, and I’m sure others reading this will feel it too. Thanks again, seriously.
Im 19, i still get excited for Christmas cause my mom still does a lot for it. I'll admit, im not the happiest person at most times in my life but I wouldnt go as far as saying that life has lost all of its magic, simply people expect you to grow up so you ditch things that are fun and exciting for things that are bland and boring. Personally, I dont do that, I still do "childish" things like play the same games I used to because I still find them fun, I still build lego because I still find it fun, amongst other things. I suppose it's just the question of, has life really lost it's magic or are you just doing things people say you should be doing so you seem normal in their eyes? Do what makes you happy. The magic will make its way back eventually. You'll never have that innocence back from when we were kids. Trust me when I say I want that back more than anything. But if you look hard enough, the magic is still there, the world isn't just a dark depressing place. Even in the darkest corners the light always finds a way to shine through.
23, life continues to grow and change you will always have the choice to take control of your own actions and experiences. The awesome and scary thing about life is that it is physically impossible to take in everything this big rock has to offer in one “playthrough”. Even one days you are experiencing something you have before there is always a possibility to do something different to experience change. Don’t up hope brother we’ve all been where you are but all so differently. It will pass
@@danielmcnicholl5488 wow, that’s a really powerful perspective. It’s so true, we really only get so much out of our time on this rock. That play through analogy is perfect. When you think about it like that, if you were playing a game and knew you would only get to play it this specific way 1 single time, you would play it totally differently with that mindset. Perhaps we should all treat life that way.
( on a less serious note Btw for games, you don’t have to watch the videos hahaha stay present in the moment if you have the pleasure of playing with friends play the game to enjoy it you don’t always have to chance 100% completion or every Easter egg, do what they were intended for and just have fun in the moment with people you care about)
I was born 2004 and a lot of what you said I can compare to myself directly. I think the point you make on novelty being the crux of this is a good one. My two cents and the conclusion I’ve come to in my own life is to get that novelty from people. Everytime I’m saddest in life i realized it was when I feel like I had no one. It wasn’t just that something bad happened, something bad happened and I had no one to fall back on. I believe humans are inherently social creatures, and I feel like out of all the things that have made me happy in life, the things that have gotten the most unforgettable highest highs always come from interactions with people. Sure the Christmas morning getting my Wii then my Nintendo Switch felt unmatched, but what about the time I finally kissed my crush after being friends with her for years. When I get home from my semester of college and get to finally have the first fire of the season with my dad because it’s finally cold enough and we shoot the shit. When me and my best friend get too drunk and start yapping about whatever tf we’re going through in a way we never have before and wake up feeling like brothers. At the end of the day, everyone wants to be happy. Just genuinely wanting the best for everyone, being nice and open to meeting and interacting with new people will lead you to people who do the same. And those people who genuinely care about people, who care about you, is who gives you the energy that fuels you through dark times. Imo.
@@snapper8531 dude it’s so true. In my darkest moments, the worst parts of my life. I’ve found there were still good days, bright spots. And it was always with people. Maybe I had a friend hit me up at 2 am to hang out, maybe I just had a good chat with someone at the fuel pump while I waited for my car to fill up. When you are really struggling the tiniest little bits of human interaction and kindness can make such a massive impact. It really fills you with hope for the future, in your own life, and our species at large. Like there’s a lot of awful people out there, but I have a lot of faith in the average person. I genuinely think all anyone wants is what’s best for everyone. It’s just these outliers that distort our perception of what people are really like, and get us to feel nihilistic at times. We’re a social species, all that really matters at the end of the day is memories made with people we love. Such a valuable perspective, thanks for sharing.
im 19, from greece, grew up with bo1,bo2 , i dont enjoy games or even life the same way i used to do before, everything is gray, feels so dull. My life state is good, i have money, im jacked af, i have a loving family and girlfriend, but i cant feel happy or excited about something the same way i used to do. Right now im just praying that my mental state gets better.
Yeah man, that’s valid. I think that joy and happiness is still possible as an adult, it’s just different, it comes in different ways and doesn’t feel the same. I think you kinda have to work for the right perspective and for joy as an adult, whereas children just have it innately within them. What’s made my life meaningful was perusing the specific things I care about with everything I have. That’s all that matters to me anymore. I really want to be an author, write books, help people. I think even just being in the process of getting there makes me happy. Maybe as a kid I was happy was just being stuck in place, but as an adult I only feel happy if I’m making forward progress. Idk, it’s a weird conundrum, maybe something I need to work at and find a way to solve.
I’m 28 now man you just gotta keep finding things you like to do. I have multiple small hobbies to go with my big ones so that when I don’t have the time or money I can at least have something to do that I enjoy
@@danielowens9934 yeah, that’s actually really solid advice. Everyone needs hobbies. All of the most unhappy people I know are the ones with nothing they enjoy doing on the side.
I used to think this way until I realized I had the same nostalgia about MW2019, which I played for hours and hours during covid lockdowns only a few years ago. I used to miss prime Minecraft days on my buddy's server and think that it was only because I was a kid that I look back at those times so fondly but now I realized that doesn't have to be the case. It made me realize that you never know you're in the good times until they've passed. so the best you can do is never say no to an opportunity to make a memory and enjoy the ride because someday 10 years from now you're gonna be reminiscing about tomorrow if you live the day to its full potential.
Wow, this is an incredible comment, you are actually completely right. It’s not as if we stop making nostalgic memories at a certain point. I have nostalgia for things just a year ago. So in a way why not try to make the present, this period of your life now, something you look back at with nostalgia. That’s super interesting man, thanks for sharing your perspective.
22 and my life has never been better and every year that goes on I am thriving, if this isn’t your life you’re living wrong. Have goals and dreams and work hard to achieve them everyday. Dropping video games was the best thing I’ve ever done.
Same exact situation, funny enough. I’ll still jump on to play a round of zeds from time to time; but the world has moved on, and so have I. Life is genuinely something beautiful, and if you can perceive the little things- the interactions between everyday people, you get the same glee. Making someone else’s day begins to make your day. Best wishes to this creator.
I see you've been thinking about life. I find it very interesting how you perceive your surroundings and how it developed into something less enjoyable overtime. I think you just need to be open to learn new things. Maybe find joy in learning things or doing specific tasks and challenges. Try travelling or physical activities. I do agree with you to some degree but you shouldnt let this fading "magic" concern you further. Embrace life and find yourself. ❤❤❤
Appreciate the thoughtful words. And you’re so right. Staying open to new experiences and finding joy in little things can really shift your perspective. Thanks for sharing this.
The feeling of nothing good happening anymore can be self-fullfilling. You kind of realise you have to practice being happy about what you have and find things to get excited about like new technology, new ideas, new ways of thinking. You're missing exciting details about your future, because you're basing it on your past and what you expect your future to be. There's thousands of details in every frame of your day. When depressed or apathetic, you tend to let all the little details get missed. Exciting times ahead.
It’s true, I think as a kid we naturally see the light and the bright parts of reality. But as we get older we tend to just see things more as they are. I think it takes practice to try and give yourself joy and positivity and fight for it. But I do believe it’s possible, and at times in my life I’ve proven to myself that there are things so immensely fulfilling they make me happy to be alive. It’s just hard when you feel like you are caught in the riptides, like your emotions are turbulent and changing and seemingly out of your control at times. I think what I need is to just focus less on the darkness, and the negativity in the world. I know it isn’t good for me but I spend so much time looking into global politics, scary and awful parts of this reality, like life in North Korea, wars in the Middle East, the absolute worst aspects of humanity. It isn’t fair though to focus so much on the bad, because you are right that there’s so much good too. Thank you immensely for your comment.
I understand the sentiment. Life may not have magic anymore, but it does have joy. The difference that makes it not magic is you have to create it when your an adult, because that magic was the direct result of your parents providing it for you. Hence the privilege you mentioned. Find what your passion is, and pursue it. Connect with others in your community and help solve some of the world's problems. Honestly consider therapy, I'm not a therapist but it sounds like your depressed. What your feeling is a very normal thing for an 18 year old to feel. I'm 29 and I felt like this for a lot of my early 20's, as I struggled with my own depression, and economic struggles that made life lose its color. But I ended up saving more money and invested time into deepening my friendships, trying new activities, working to make change in areas that I cared about in the world, and focusing less on myself and more on others. Now I don't feel the way you do anymore. Most days I feel fulfillment, passion, and joy.
@@trademark4537 Wow, thank you for sharing this. It’s honestly so reassuring to hear that these feelings are normal and that things can change with time and effort. I really appreciate your perspective on creating joy as an adult, it’s something I’ve been trying to figure out myself. Your story gives me a lot of hope. Wishing you all the best, and thanks again for such a thoughtful reply.
@@RawLensGaming find someone trusted to talk to, pls dont go to therapy because your sense of noticing that things are off about the world are normal and good. therapy will only be writing it down as depression or other symptons and youll be prescribed drugs to help these (in your case non existing problems). and take your time off from work or school for a few days from time to time to reflect on what makes you happy or not and where you want to be life.
Lost it's magic when I realised life just isn't fair and being a good person doesn't mean good things happen to you. Pessimistic I know, but every time I get optimism and motivation, I either fail despite trying, not get what I want, or get shut down in some way, or something just reminds you why I can't just be happy. Reality isn't fun because reality isn't always good, but man, reality could and should've been so much better, didn't have to be this rough compared to how it was 30 years ago for people who had alotta hope and motivation. It's not like I don't know what would make me happy in life, it's fulfillment, that's what I want, I just wanna do my hobbies in peace while having a wife and kids, an okay house nothing fancy, and treated as well as I treat others with new experiences. If I had all that (and I've tried), I'd actually be happy and could go on living with anything that came at me. Yet it feels like there's such an imbalance that all that is unobtainable now, it's hard to have hope, so most people just regress into escapism now more than ever...just surviving...and sometimes I wish I was never born, not siucidal, just wish I didn't have to exist with all the heartache and dread in my stomach with nothing good left at the day What do you do when you've tried your best over and over and it didn't work?
@ITMenterprises Hey, I just wanted to say I really felt every word you wrote. It’s exhausting when you keep trying your best and life still feels like it’s fighting you at every step. Reality can be harsh, and it’s okay to feel the way you do your feelings are valid. Sometimes the little things, like hobbies or fleeting moments of peace, are all we have to hold onto, and that’s okay too. I hope you find some light, even if it’s just one small thing at a time. You deserve peace and happiness, even if the path there feels unclear right now. Take care, and know you’re not alone.
@ITMenterprises As for what you said at the end there. That’s such a tough question, and I don’t think there’s one perfect answer. But sometimes, when you’ve tried your best and things still don’t work out, the next step might be to pause, breathe, and let yourself rest. It’s okay to step back and just exist for a while without pushing so hard. Small steps, tiny wins, or even just finding one thing each day that brings a moment of peace can slowly build into something more. And sometimes, reaching out to someone you trust whether it’s a friend, family member, or even a professional can lighten the weight a little. You’re not alone in this, and your effort matters more than you know.
@ i dreamt today of playing a BO zombie map!! It wasn’t a real map its made up in the dream so i was solving the map and it had a machine that pushed me to round 1,500!! I started looking for a way to to get back to normal rounds but it seemed like i was able to kill zombies. There are more stuff but thats a brief
I mean games have gotten progressively worse, passion has left all AAA and it’s now just a money printing machine. Everything is about money and making more money. Seems like nobody does stuff for fun anymore.
@@SuperBloopie No fr, back in the day most games were probably indie, the standards didn’t require a massive team to make a good game. Nowadays it’s like it requires millions of dollars, a massive corporation behind it, and the soul is gone because it’s run like a business now.
Hey man I just want you to know youre not alone in feeling that way Its totally normal to miss the magic you felt as a kid when everything was new and exciting and to feel a little empty once you realize the world isnt as simple as it seemed back then The fact that you can recognize and put words to these feelings already shows a lot of self-awareness and thats a big deal!
With Black Ops 3's Chronicles and all the epic DLC it included, it feels like we've really reached peak Zombies, you know? But when the hype dies down, relying on developers to constantly wow us can leave you feeling empty. I was so disappointed after Alpha Omega released, and that's when I realized: I can't just wait for Treyarch to release new cards to keep me happy. So I forced myself to evolve. I got into sports, and now every game - especially the stupidest ones between Al Hilal and Al Nasser - is like Christmas to me! I feel that same spark of excitement without having to wait months (or years) for another DLC.
It gets a lot better if you keep actively seeking out new experiences (like trying skiing). Truth is, we never really do run out of things we haven’t tried; it’s just finding the darn things. Just keep finding moments that surprise you, make you laugh, or remind you that there’s something worth looking forward to- and they’ll carry you a long, long way.
Keep making stuff-like your UA-cam videos-or find other creative outlets. Pretty remarkable some of the places meaning and excitement can enter your life if you’re working on a project, however small or imperfect it may be. And if ever you feel really stuck and overwhelmed, remember that having a conversation with someone-a friend, a family member, or even a counselor-can really help you begin to see things from a different angle.

This is very underrated i relate to the zombie chronicles story😂
@@Rayhanstime hahahaha I’m glad you had that experience too.
Black Ops 1 was magical for me and it is it to this day.

I can kind of agree with you, in terms of overall quality BO2 is unbeatable. Although in terms of just zombies I think BO3 did it best.

Lost it's magic when I realised life just isn't fair and being a good person doesn't mean good things happen to you. Pessimistic I know, but every time I get optimism and motivation, I either fail despite trying, not get what I want, or get shut down in some way, or something just reminds you why I can't just be happy. Reality isn't fun because reality isn't always good, but man, reality could and should've been so much better, didn't have to be this rough compared to how it was 30 years ago for people who had alotta hope and motivation.
It's not like I don't know what would make me happy in life, it's fulfillment, that's what I want, I just wanna do my hobbies in peace while having a wife and kids, an okay house nothing fancy, and treated as well as I treat others with new experiences. If I had all that (and I've tried), I'd actually be happy and could go on living with anything that came at me.
Yet it feels like there's such an imbalance that all that is unobtainable now, it's hard to have hope, so most people just regress into escapism now more than ever...just surviving...and sometimes I wish I was never born, not siucidal, just wish I didn't have to exist with all the heartache and dread in my stomach with nothing good left at the day
What do you do when you've tried your best over and over and it didn't work?
@ITMenterprises Hey, I just wanted to say I really felt every word you wrote. It’s exhausting when you keep trying your best and life still feels like it’s fighting you at every step. Reality can be harsh, and it’s okay to feel the way you do your feelings are valid. Sometimes the little things, like hobbies or fleeting moments of peace, are all we have to hold onto, and that’s okay too. I hope you find some light, even if it’s just one small thing at a time. You deserve peace and happiness, even if the path there feels unclear right now. Take care, and know you’re not alone.
@ITMenterprises As for what you said at the end there. That’s such a tough question, and I don’t think there’s one perfect answer. But sometimes, when you’ve tried your best and things still don’t work out, the next step might be to pause, breathe, and let yourself rest. It’s okay to step back and just exist for a while without pushing so hard. Small steps, tiny wins, or even just finding one thing each day that brings a moment of peace can slowly build into something more. And sometimes, reaching out to someone you trust whether it’s a friend, family member, or even a professional can lighten the weight a little. You’re not alone in this, and your effort matters more than you know.
when you play zombies but then you become an adult 😔
Facts 😔
The special part about this is how much i share the interest in black ops zombies. Maybe we think the same too idk
Haha could be, love me some zombies.
@ i dreamt today of playing a BO zombie map!! It wasn’t a real map its made up in the dream so i was solving the map and it had a machine that pushed me to round 1,500!! I started looking for a way to to get back to normal rounds but it seemed like i was able to kill zombies. There are more stuff but thats a brief

2012-2016 was a much better time in general, also bo3 you could run on walls and have abilities now cod is just non stop mw 2019 clones
@@nbalongboi9738 fr, I don’t like the new cod games, can’t explain it but black ops 6 just feels way too fast, and soulless.
I mean games have gotten progressively worse, passion has left all AAA and it’s now just a money printing machine. Everything is about money and making more money. Seems like nobody does stuff for fun anymore.
@@SuperBloopie No fr, back in the day most games were probably indie, the standards didn’t require a massive team to make a good game. Nowadays it’s like it requires millions of dollars, a massive corporation behind it, and the soul is gone because it’s run like a business now.
