It just my have something to do with your cores envision with your life and that which you desire to have as company that surrounds you daily…

I absolutely love this series. - It's targeted at artists, yet many things there apply to just about every profession / hobby. (I think there is art wherever there is a way to express yourself, so that explains this.) - It kind of feels like one of those rambling podcasts about personal experiences, yet it is deeply insightful and smart. - It does not look at art like a business and does not promise this kind of success. Instead, it talks directly to people who need to express themselves in their specific art form, and promises they'll find some form of audience, however big, through their uniqueness. It's just great and profound and smart and uplifting in the same way the rest of your work is, exurb1a. Thank you so much.

hey blue turtle, just wanted you to know, that this series inspired me to put together my passion project. It's a thesis on Late Roman religious art, and the merging of pagan and christian iconography. I.E did you know that our conception of an angel as a winged human comes from the Roman platonic "ideal form" of the human? the biblically accurate angels were swapped out for obvious reasons. So, I've been putting together a portfolio of panel paintings and study sketches in hopes of getting supervised. I listen to these bad boys when I paint and draw.

I defeated my impostor syndrome by having an idol and striving to be better than them. It just happens that this Idol is you.

Exurbia, I'm a theorerical atomic, molecular, and optical physics PhD student (basically I study all things quantum). In highschool I worried I wasn't smart enough. In college, I worried I wasn't good enough. Now I'm in my PhD at the #1 program in the world on a fellowship and I still have moments when I worry I'm an imposter. One of the constants that has helped me stay motivated has been people like you; people who inspire me and look for the best of humanity. I don't know where I'm going with this, but please don't stop writing and creating. Your bizarre takes on the world have inspired creativity well beyond the scope of just writing and sci fi - unless you set out to inspire a future physicist, then job well done.

So i should relax about the fact that i feel like a pair of books wearing shoes when i try to do anything.

You have impeccable timing. I struggle with this so much right now as my channel recently grew. I feel like everything I make is a just not valuable 😅 i really appreciate this series, man

God, this series couldn't have come at a better time for me. I just finished my undergrad with a degree in music performance. Obviously, this is a very bad time to be someone with a degree in music performance. It's cast me into a deep depression, doubting my worth as both an artist and a person, and it's spread into my other pursuits such as composing. But the way you talk resonates with me so much, and this series in particular has helped to remind me of who I am. So, thank you.

exurba if you ever do feel crushed by imposter syndrome just remember that you are so incredibly good at your craft you managed to teach me what it is to fear flying. I didn't spend two months in my birth town before my parents up and moved to the other side of the country (no exaggeration). We spent two years there and then again (no exaggeration here its coast to coast) we went back to the west. Every summer since I have boarded a flight and flown 3000 miles both ways. From infancy I have been flying and so I never understood people who were afraid of airplanes. Your description of sitting in the terminal and boarding, clutching the armrests in terror and how every bit of that experience made it so finally helped to click just what is so scary about airplanes if just a little bit. I think that that was amazing.

Loving this series. Motivated me to stop doubting myself and not showing my projects to the world to doubting myself and showing it anyways

When I heard him mention starlight brigade I was like HELL YEAH!

The funniest thing is that professionally trained dancers struggle to dance at parties. I always think my dancing is weird and everyone will stare

Ah yes, turtle boy is here for my existential crisis, but this time, with *WRITING*

Thanks exurb1a, everyone suffers imposter syndrome in everything, especially professionally, there will always someone who knows more, thinks faster, works harder, jumps higher. But that is normal. And for this we all forge on, learning more, working harder, driving the outcomes more, perfecting what we do. So it's not just art, it's just a function of being intelligent meat that has been trying to fake it since we crawled out of the slime, climbed down from the trees, out run smarted the megafauna, and so on. It's what makes us, us. Thanks again for sharing, love your work.

TWRP and Dan Avidan together always make absolute boppers of songs!

Exurb1a is that close unknown friend that we dont deserve but need.

A single man’s influence has thrown me toward my passions. A singular inspirational figure seems to have the ideas and understandingof the world that I do, while I had previously felt trapped in a world where I came to wonder if no one else loved what I did. Yet, from the ashes comes this turtle who slaps me with a “shut up and go be a beautiful artist you little bastard”. Now here I am, pursuing writing, photography, a list of things, and I can credit this inspiration as why my taste is so horrible to you. Jokes aside, I’m thankful to ye Exurb1a. I wonder/doubt if you’ll care to read this but if you found the time to waste, uh... well I have a cookie, so, here you are, um... cheers. Oh and uh... thanks for existing, we all appreciate it.

DUDE! I seriously got goosebumps when you said Starlight Brigade. I actually said, out loud, too myself, "No fucking way! You listen to TWRP!" That song is absolutely amazing and the animation for the video is wonderful. It's a relatively popular song, sure, and I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, but I couldn't help but get a little resonant shiver at the idea that you are among the few that, despite never having met, I could call a 'kindred spirit' (complete with all of the pretentious vapidity that label implies, lol). Anyways, this likely won't even pop up on your radar, but it was a moment that made me smile, and goddammit I'm gonna say something about it!

I love how the "bye" repeats and cuts off at the end, it's just a very wholesome yet somewhat perfectly funny way to end this video 💕

I literally just rewatched this series (twice😅) a few hours ago, thank you so much Ex! ❤️👍

i love this series a whole damn lot. it's so uplifting and the part where you talk about your dad being proud of you always makes me cry for some reason (i have watched this countless of times already, it always encourages me do continue arting when i feel like i can't). so, yeah, thank you or whatever

Extremely grateful for this series of videos because theyve been exactly what i needed. Thanks for all of your videos exurb1a

Here's a little added part to the plane analogy. The worst part is when you get high up and then the plane dips for what seems (to me) for no fucking reason. Glad to see another one of these.

Today I was thinking of giving up music after 12 years (piano and saxophone). Nice timings

I don't know if it was intentional but I highly appreciate that it's like a podcast more than a video so that we can just listen to this while creating art.

This whole series is a huge mood and just the push (kick on the butt) I needed to start doing things again. Thanks a lot

"There is a technical name for someone who never doubts themself, a d**khead". I had to write that one down for future reference.

I wish this series never ends until there is nothing left to discuss

Fun fact: airplanes are the safest way of transportation

Thank you all for providing so much entertainment to me during my high school years. All of the music, how to, life videos, just talking about problems, etc. It has all been a great help to keep my mind off the horrible things that are happening on the outside. Can’t imagine what I would have done without you all there distracting. I wish I could repay you all but I am just a sad jobless teenager. But now, I’m going to college to hopefully train, get a real job, and then hopefully pay it all back; somehow. For now the best that I can do is just say thank you for now and know that I hope you never stop making awesome content. I hope that youtube doesn’t screw you over too much this day and age. Look forward to bringing your content along with me to college as well. And thank you once again for keeping my mind off all the horrible things that are happening these days. Really has kept me sane all these years. Thank you all sooo much!!!

Thanks for doing these videos, they're so much more helpful than any other advice books I've come across. I'm into writing as well, and I also enjoy reading writer's backstories. However, the one thing that always annoys me about them is that any biography forcefully highlights the artist's early efforts. I came to writing later (at 22 or so) and for so many years those things kept me from trying, because I felt I ought to have written a novel at 16. Your own story, as well as those of later bloomers, seem to be the outliers, perhaps because of a plot pushed by the industry that writers are born, not made. Anyway, thanks again for the encouraging words - they're needed and very appreciated.

Why is it always that out of all chanels in this universe you are the one that make me constantly cry? Answer me turtle!

I have always thought of you as one of those graceful arrow planes and believed that I would never be able to make something on the same level of quality as your videos but this series really reassures me that being a little turbulent is okay even if it takes a god awful amount of time.

I’m grateful I get to start my day off with one of my favourite series of videos from you, so far. Big love to you, Mr. 🐢!

You have a inspired me so much Exurb1a, thank you for being you.

I can't say how much I adore your art. You're one of my favorite artists. I'm in the middle of writing something. A podcast actually. But I'm crushed with doubts and thinking about how shitty I am at writing. But you remind me I have to keep trying. You remind me it's okay to be shitty. I needed this podcast and if some day I look at the things I created with a smile, I will remember you. Thank you turtle. Thank you.

god im saving your updates to listen again every now and then loving this

Love your stuff man, really looking forward towards each new episode

On the other hand, if you feel like an imposter, it might be because you're genuinely lacking in talent. To quote one of my favourite lines from a movie about WC Fields: "If at first, you don't succeed, try, try and try again. Then give up; there's no point in looking like a damn fool."

I started writing recently, inspired by youand many others. I have always had this side of me, but kind of repressed it. Now, it is one of the things that brings me the most joy. To see the invisible world inside my head come to life as a bunch of nonsense what looks like random gibberish. Still, it is mine. And it is not gibberish. It is what I find to be beautiful. And after careful shit-throwing at the paper, I now have to cure it and choose the best of it. I love the process. It's the most crude expression of myself in every way. Thank you for being part of that inspiration.

It doesn't what toxic fans say , there are always those who will support you for you high worth.

As a guy who makes a kind of music that doesn't exactly have "mass appeal" ,these videos are really helpful in keeping me going. Thanks Existential Space Turtle.

I listen to these while I paint minis, and they always put me in a good, motivated mood. Thank you, exurb2a

Lovely video man you’ve helped get me though the transformative years of my life and i really appreciate it much love from the states ❤️

Ok so this guy is really good at analogy’s

I want to put it out here that your videos are what has pushed me to write again. I went through several years of severe depression in which I lost the taste for doing almost everything I enjoyed doing. And now, thanks to you, I'm able to stick my toe back into the water and try doing this thing I have always enjoyed once again... Thank you.

Sometimes I don't care, and sometimes I care too much. The imposter within me likes to play games with my sanity. Highly recommend, by the way! My brain doesn't understand that sometimes I don't want to deal with it, and when my brain doesn't want to function, I listen to this podcast over and over again. Thank you for letting me turn off my brain and allowing it to feel flutters of hope and unity :)

exurb1a is kinda sus, not gonna lie

Just want to say these are the best. Thank you. Hope you write them down & turn them into a little book so more humans will stumble across your words as well. Best Regards.

I finally know what's wrong with me now. How much I needed to hear all of this... It touched me so much I'm actually writing a comment here, haha. I'm close to tears. You are so wonderful, such an inspiration, I Love everything I've ever seen/heard/... from you, as just one of the many people, but thank you

Thankyou so much for these podcasts. I've been binge listening to these and yes i cried. But I feel alot better. I hope I can get back to my writing now. Thankyou, Really.

I just wanna say thank you. These episodes genuinely give me strength. I’ve graduated a songwriting degree this year, and London is so mad atm, things feel so far out of my reach...anyway, I really appreciate you for creating this series, big love ❤️

This is a really great series. Thank you!

You are such a beautiful human. Keep doing what you're doing! It's great ❤

i've been watching some (all) your videos (not during work hours i swear) and this here notion of storm hits home like a planet killing asteroid. So a bit like your recommendation in that Ode to Nashville video: mate, thank you.

I feel trapped, paralyzed by my ideas of perfectionism, external factors helped but I have this deep feeling that I'm worthless. So I refused for years to do anything creative and it's like I'm witnessing my burial every single day.

thank you for this series, I really needed it

I do art stuff, but my work is in science stuff, and I've been struggling hard to complete my master's thesis for a long while now. Imposter syndrome is in my blood. This series has definitely helped to soothe my mind's raging seas of anxiety the last while. Thank you exurb1a!

This reminds me of serving catholic masses. (servers are the kids who sit in the sanctuary and do things like light candles) Most of the things you do are synchronized with music or phrases or the other servers and it's a lot to remember. We all forget what's happening sometimes and even though I've been serving every weekend for 5 years, I still make stupid mistakes like forgetting to bring up the water and wine. (I did that last night.) A lot of kids are scared of making these mistakes, but the truth is no one in the clergy notices. My advice to the new servers is always "It doesn't matter what happens or how. All that matters is that what needs to get done is done and you make it look like you meant to do it that way." As long as it looks like you know what you're doing, no one else will see your mistakes.

I love these videos they keep me working on my 3d modelling retakes. Eventhough I failed 4 years of college due to my own incompetence. You give me courage to say that I actually can do this. You are my favourite creator/artist by far and hearing you go to similar struggles as me gives me hope that I can maybe be one day as great of a creator/artist as you. Thank you for overcoming your demons I will try to do the same.

This series is so god damn good I love you

I would absolutely love if you were to do podcasts, I think others would too.so we can inject ourselves with bigger doses of the wonder and dread of life that you Express so well!

I'm so happy you're continuing to make these

This is a really good series so far :)

Starlight Brigade is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time and one of the best I know. Good taste man.

Hey man, I'd just like to say that i enjoy your vids and you began my interest in astrophysics, which is what im hopefully studying at uni soon. All the best mate

Really enjoying this series.

literally almost all of my jokes are a bunch of catchy and repeatable catchphrases such as "and then I said `what's the deal with airline food?`" and "they dont call me magic fingers for nothing" and quite a few of the characters in the show I'm trying to write use these catchphrases one way or another

I use the different tactic sometimes. If you're going to feel like an impostor - hell! Go ALL-IN on it. Be the best impostor you can be, fake it so hard that everyone loses their tits at how good an impostor you are. Own that shit to Portsmouth and back. And suddenly, realize: that's what you needed to do all along.

I'll be going back to this every now and then to remind and help myself

Thank you for bringing me so much joy.

This video is one of my favorite videos of all time
