It’s becoming more and more clear that if I don’t start doing what makes me happy now then I’ll end up miserable for the rest of my life, and your videos have always helped encourage me to do that. You’ve changed my perspective in a lot of aspects in my life, especially film. The future seems so large and daunting, so I just wanna thank you for always letting us know that it’s ok.

Well think of it this way, you have a whole lifetime to think about and explore all the things you are interested in, or even not interested in just for the experience. Don't be overwhelmed at all the choices that are possible, because at the end of the day that choice is still there. It'll never be too late to change your path. So find one that is interesting enough and get started on it. It won't be the things you tried that you'll regret, it'll be the ones you don't

As you get older, things will start making more sense and become clearer. All the best to you 💗

Best advice: -Try all sorts of classes in college (or community college), exploring and trying things for yourself is the best way to find out what you are good at and what you love. -Take small steps, but leap into every opportunity, but learn to let go even when it's not convenient or comfortable -Do everything you can to travel (safely and try not to cheap out) -Invest in a quality mattress, pillow, and office chair -Sleep 6-8 hours, and stay on a good sleep schedule -Exercise -Drink water -If you have a hobby, join a group or community with similar interests -Be willing to compromise -Don't ever chase wealth or power over others (management) -Be willing to live by your means, but don't be afraid to treat yourself -Get caught up in the moment instead of trying to record or repeat -Eat new things -Stay off social media -Find happiness, not temporary comforts -Educate yourself

Dont smoke weed until youre 21 for the sake of dementia and the prefrontal cortex, and dont get married until 25, because 60% of who you are now will not be who you are in the future. You truly love yourself at that point and can love others wholly. College is an absolute waste unless you want to be *highly specialized.* life only come faster so don't let it get to you now. Go on lots of walks and stay strong.

My dad died in 2019 too. When you said what you said sitting in the graveyard I laughed so hard and then I cried for the rest of the video. Thanks for touching my heart tonight. You’re such a different kind of person from me, but you comfort my soul, all the same. Love to you, man. Glad you had a crazy year. Me too. Here’s to another one.

This video embodies what the world today has so greatly forgotten. “Life is pretty cool. Sometimes it’s not, but that’s alright….kinda goes back to ‘coolness.’” That really hit home ❤

In today's climate of advertisements and commercials and endorsements and profits being shoved down our throats, your channel is so honest and refreshing. It's like a breath of fresh air. It gives me hope for the future of content creators that we all don't have to conform to be successful. Keep doing you and thank you

You probably won't read this but I just want to say I'm so happy for you! The time and energy you put into your videos really shows and nowadays with so many youtube channels it's hard to find anyone making the content you make. You're like the dunkey of shorts and you deserve everything that comes your way! Keep bringing your friends up with you ❤️

Joel, your videos bring me so much joy. I cry sometimes but I always feel weirdly good after. Thank you for making the world a better place to be.

Beautiful video ♥️ This is also my second New Year's without my father. Before, I didn't truly understand why people felt sadness with the new year simply for it being the new year. But as life goes on, I now see where that nostalgia and melancholy comes from, even if it also mixed with excitement and hope.

“Ive always found a rock to be a pretty sorry monument for a human life… especially one as special as [my dad’s]” damn that hit hard ;-;

What you said about your dad and the whole idea of gravestones was very touching Joel

This video inspired me to go on my own little contemplative walk around town today to just think and reflect. It was really really great Thanks Joel

I think I get this vibe from you that it's nothing like "Natural Talent".. It's just - Natural... and for some reason that is such a difficult thing for a lot of us to achieve or understand, but you really put it all out there and you make it work. You're like a bridge to our understanding; truly, that the little things- the smallest things can have amazing and great impacts. You're a treasure, Joel. Ya frickin' dope.
