A video about searching for purpose.

Just speaking my mind and expressing it through video creation.
I hope you all enjoyed this video. I've wanted to make this video for a long time now and have had these thoughts for years on end.
it feels so good to get them out.
I made this video with hopes to make you feel something, it sure made me feel something.
If you enjoyed this video, check out my last and be ready for next months video.
Open to convos in the comments :)
Typing from a small town outside of Mount Rainier I post this video. Recapping the past 12 days of my life and explaining my reoccurring thoughts .

    When you came to your mother and I and said you wanted to leave college to pursue your dream of seeing and experiencing the world, we didn’t think it was such a good idea. But you have always done things your way. Once you put your mind to something, there is no changing it. Well fast forward two years and you are now living the life most only dream of… including us. Your purpose in this life may have just been found… to inspire others to follow their dreams. Love Joel

    Goddddd I love you’re channel! You’re so so soooo motivational. You make me want to appreciate my life right now even though sometimes things get tough. Thank you. After college I want to live just like you with my friends and live and love nature. I want to see the world. When I go out, I want to reflect on memories, happy memories. I want to reflect on something I created for myself with myself and the people I love. Someday I will do what I love, I don’t know what that is yet, but I will. I want to shut the light off every night knowing I lived life to the fullest. To answer your question, if I died right now, would I be satisfied with where I am? No, actually. I’ve done things that fill my heart, but it was only temporary, because they never really got me to where and what I wanted. I believe a heart can never be truly fulfilled to a maximum capacity because over time the tide in your heart ascends, overflowing and fizzing, it may never stop filling up. As you appreciate the little things, you meet people, you do what you love, you don’t worry about what’s coming and just worry about that very moment, THATS when your heart is increasing it’s fulfillment. 💛 Thank you! You’re my inspiration. This video was made fabulously!!!

    Great video!!!! My mom never understands why I spend most of my money just for traveling but not saving. If I save, I may get rich, but I never want to be rich in that way and there are so many things to see in this world. We just have different ideas about the purpose of life. For her, the more money she has in her bank account, the happier she is. Nothing's wrong with that though. I just can't live the way she wants. Cheers from Vietnam!!

I'm longing for the community like this, I'm longing to live so close to nature, I'm longing for deep and true connections, with no judgement, just holding each other in understanding and love. thank you for this video, for yet another beautiful dream to look forward to. maybe one day I'll get some of that, the feeling of belonging and of wholeness within myself.

    Do you ever feel like you're living your life just to film it? I'll be in the middle of a beautiful memory, but I feel like I'm not actually there because I'm trying to capture every moment on film. I feel like I'm wasting it. Wasting the moment to try and make a buck so I can survive while traveling. I thought I left the matrix but it feels like I'm deeper in it than ever before.

    It sounds to me like it could perhaps not be your true passion? For me, every moment I choose to film is because it’s my passion to create. I think if it makes you feel as if you’re wasting the moment you should do less of that and more of what makes you feel like it’s fulfilled. :)
