    That “just breathe” part really hit hard for me. I’ve been riddled with anxiety so much this past year and a half, a lot of it coming from pressure to accomplish things or reach goals in life. So seeing you talk about having a similar experience with that makes me feel less alone in that struggle with myself.

    Excellent, really, there is no bad or mediocre LoverBoy video. You really elevate UA-cam to what it should strive for. I wouldn't be surprised if you'd end up in a future art history book, mark my words.
    This video hit me so much especially because of the place I'm at right now: delaying my next season of uploads for over a year now, because I really wish it to be just as I like and I don't have enough time to commit to it as hard as I'd like to. Your words made me believe a little bit more that I'm taking the right path.

    The GOAT is back! Idk what it is about this channel that I love so much, your personality, the editing, the writing, I keep coming back to it.
    I feel the same way about 2020, I had lots of free time and somehow managed to watch less movies than past years. I also tried to listen to as many albums as I could even if they weren't the usual stuff I listen to.
    I'm not sure if I have a 2020 top 5 but these are some of the stuff that I loved during that year:
    • Better Call Saul Season 5
    • Lost in Translation
    • Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend podcast
    • Future Nostalgia I agree so much, great album, I got into Taylor Swift as well, Evermore and Folklore are amazing.
    • Red Dead Redemption 2, this game right here made my 2020 sooo much better, I couldn't believe the emotional rollercoaster that this game took me to. Great experience.

    I don’t usually comment on videos like this but your video really stood out to me personally. As a struggling film student, I could relate a lot. I’m always self doubting myself and contemplating, whether it be working on something I have no confidence in or just getting out of my house every morning. It meant a lot to hear those words. Just breathe and take out the time for yourself and a little change isn’t always a bad thing. Never was a radio person either growing up but Taylor Swift does have some banger stuff ngl. Always love the videos your putting out man, keep on creating because your making some powerful stuff ❤️

    Every now and then, I'll watch a vid essay that both inspires and hits me on a level that transcends entire feature films - and this was one of those times. Transformative stuff and well worth the titanic hype.
    So many of these picks resonated too. I LOVED BoP, got obsessed with "exile" and a number of other TS songs, and finally got to see why my friends loved Hamilton so dang much. And while I'm still struggling to put my thoughts on Part II into something cohesive... hearing creators like you bring so much empathy to talking about it just. Rules.
    I don't know what my personal Top 5 of 2020 is, honestly. But I think FF7 Remake encapsulates so much of the hope I felt in an otherwise tough year: music, story, themes and all.

    Loved the vid, glad you're back!
