35 minute video broken down simple: 1. Stay in your hometown if your needs are met, able to find work, surrounded by loving family/friends. 2. If hometown has too many bad memories, defeatist mentalities, dysfunctional/manipulative family = Get Out Of Dodge!!

I agree 100 percent. If one needs to get out of Dodge it's not a bad idea to learn a skilled trade i.e., electrician, mechanic, chef, computer programming, etcetera, before moving elsewhere. Besides having some cash saved up, marketable skills makes you more valuable when moving to a different country.

I moved cities and when I return to my home town on holiday it just feels so stagnant. All my friends that stayed there act the same as they did in high school, its like no one has had any growth or development personally or professionally. Whenever I go back I'm reminded that leaving was the best decision I've made.

But I say this to say, you can do everything possible to make it in that barrel but are you really making it? You may be the best crab in that barrel with dreams as wide as the sun but how far can you shine from that barrel constantly reminded of who you aren’t and being an empath seeing those you love give up.

I'm in my mid 30s and when I graduated high school, almost every single one of my friends left our small town to live in the big cities. Now they're all slowly coming back, one by one. I also plan on returning. Opportunities are way better in the big cities, but quality of life is terrible after living a decade or so here. Edit: I think it would be good to clarify that I don't regret moving and I believe that they probably don't as well. It was an important step to our personal and professional development

​@@gcanaday1 Safety: On average, small towns have significantly lower crime rates, whether it's theft, property crime, or violent crimes. Health: Big cities are infamous for polluted air. Many small towns not only have better air quality but also better water quality. There is considerable variation, particularly with water quality in small towns, but it's usually easier to find. Access to Nature: Not all small towns, but several have nature that is easily accessible. Less Traffic: Traffic jams in small towns is virtually non-existent (with rare exceptions). Depending on the town you might not even need a car. Cost of Living: Due to fewer opportunities, small towns typically have a lower cost of living. For remote workers, this is great to build equity and reduce financially induced stress. More Space: Space is at a premium in big cities but is much more affordable in small towns. For the amount I pay for a 30 square meter (or 320 sqft) apartment in a capital city, I could rent a 200 square meter (or 2100 sqft) house with a garage and a yard in a small town. In the end we chose to move to a small town about a decade or so living in the city not because it is objectively better, but because I work remotely and we greatly enjoy living in a small town and the benefits we get from it. I suspect others have done so for similar reasons.

Nothing about a pre determined reserved person for you makes sense. It's just that the two of you get along through the similar experiences, not that you two are supposed to be by default. Some people you agree with, with others not.

I remember when I was in my 20's, I thought the same way. Left my small hometown, traveled the world, had a good career all that. I worked hard and achieved alot. But now in my 30's living a quiet life, building a family closer to home and being in my hometown is much more appealing vs traveling everywhere. Im back in my hometown and met the love of my life there. And now, I see the value of where I live. You also empathize with the people that didnt leave home and value that they're still there. Life has many chapters and not every path is right for everyone. There's nothing wrong with traveling, but there's nothing wrong with staying where you grew up or returning back home.

EXACTLY! one cannot blindly listen to ones parents or family members. getting caught up in their drama is a huge risk when you're just trying to establish yourself as an individual.

People who leave their hometown have a calling on their heart that never goes away, you were meant to grow in a different field, then the one you were born in, it really cannot be explained 🤷🤷

We are basically like fleas. If you put fleas in a jar and close the lid they will learn to jump at that limited height. When opening the jar they will never jump higher than they actually can and will forever stay stuck in the jar despite them being capable of jumping higher. We are raised and taught to be followers and not leaders. When we get older we then believe, “oh I can’t do that or this or that,” when we never even tried. We learn the mentality that we are incapable and that mentality is reinforced b/c everyone around us also adopts that mentality. So in our minds it’s wiser to listen to authority, to follow the same path as everyone else. And if we think differently the other people (the other fleas) will lecture you and say, “bro what are you doing, we don’t jump that high, get back down here this instant! Stop being rebellious!” Misery loves company. Worse it’s to the point where we sometimes get to a point where it’s too late or rather more difficult to escape the position that mentality puts you in. Once you start the hamster wheel it’s harder to escape it. But at the same time most of the youth don’t realize where they are headed so most don’t realize until it’s too late. We become depended on the lifestyles which is why it’s hard to escape because if we try to escape we risk losing everything that helps us take care of our responsibilities. And that’s a scary thing because none of us want to be the next homeless guy on the street. There isn’t much separating us from that homeless guy on the corner if you think about it. We remain in the constant fear that our boss will put us in that position if we “disobey” so we must fall in line like submissive dogs. Any of us can be one bad day from losing everything. And in our minds a lot of us can’t afford that because we have people to take care of, houses to pay off, cars to pay off, bills, rent, insurance to pay, taxes to pay, etc. Edit: Our entire livelihoods depend on that 9 to 5 job, but we fail to realize that that 9 to 5 jobs become our entire lives. We live and breath out 9 to 5. We barely have freedom from it. And most of us end up working a lot more than that 9 to 5 because we need to make that extra money to get by. Our jobs become our personality. Most people I talk to, talk about their work drama, things they experienced in work, what they did in work. It’s like we are all the same. Our lives are non-existent outside of work for most people. It’s really sad. Same thing with one’s hometown. If we remain in the same place all our life our world views are shaped by the limited scope we have. Our hometown also becomes our personality

It's not about jumping around and finding where the grass is the greenest (just like with relationships). It's about finding something that is prespective, working on it and making it work for you. Flying around every month doesn't allow you to actually build something somewhere. I'm content with my city, because I've reconstructed an apartment here, made meaningful relationships with people and made it work for me. The base was there and I've built my life here. Just like with my wife. The qualities, sympathies and compatibility was there and we've worked hard on our relationship and built a beautiful relationship. I'm 24, I have an apartment and a beautiful wife and life. I am much further then if I'd slept around and had short meaningless relationships or traveled around from one rental to another just to find perfection that does not exist.

I've been watching your videos for years Jack, and I'm really proud of both how far you've come and that you've always stayed true to being a man of integrity and passion (two qualities that are very lacking these days). At first when watching this video, I found myself saying that I disagreed and wanted to click away, but I remembered that respect I have for your opinion and wanted to listen all the way through. I think you clarified any point that maybe I disagreed with and I think you have an excellent way of articulating why leaving is so important, at least in your twenties. There's a verse I love in the Bible: “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” I've noticed that in my own life too. The people who saw you grow up will be unable to see the potential of higher truths you may be able to bring. This video helped light a fire under my ass, can't wait to see what comes of it!

Well if you tried being an actor in Hollywood you'll be a nobody, but if you're a known actor in a small town, now you're a local celebrity, right?

I've traveled a lot all my life. I moved to America from India with my parents when I was 4 and we moved towns quite a lot. I've lived pretty much everywhere in California and moved like 3 times during the plandemic (I didn't misspell that) and now I'm in the mid west since I got my first job here. People in the mid west in the US have way more of that hometown mindset and it just made me think that despite all the struggles I went through moving around I've developed a different mindset regarding opportunity. So many of these people just go to a local college, get a local job, and just live there for 30-40 years until they want to retire and move to Florida like every freaking other person. Pretty pathetic. Meanwhile I always try to think of what's next and chase the next opportunity even if it's outside my hometown. Right now I want to just settle down and not think about moving again but in 2 years I could be somewhere completely different. Maybe I'll be in Japan on a business trip or maybe I move to Texas after getting headhunted. A lot of the people around me simply don't even think of that and separate themselves from that lifestyle mentally. DUDE. WTF. GROW THE HELL UP.

Why is it pathetic to live in your home town and want to retire in Florida? Nothing wrong with that, what is pathetic is hating for a stupid reason like that.

great video. relatable here in the uk. refreshing to have someone challenge my habits and beliefs. i am going to move out of my city asap!

Hi, my name is chance I am 27 years old. I haven’t watched it all the way through yet but I’m almost done with the video great video and I just wanted to say I was on the fence about starting up my own KZread business and I just wanted to say that I am all in now and I’m gonna get out of my hometown. Thanks, Jack.

I would say very rich coming from you... but since I've seen you outside of Hammertown finally, I can't use my joke anymore. I'm devastated

My home city has all my family. I can live out of state for a bit, but as I turn 30 my parents are getting older and experiencing health issues.. same with my grandparents. It's very nice to see them on all holidays.

Isn't the world just water amd rock tho??? What is to see?

I lived in three US states in my life so far. Leaving my hometown taught me a lot of things about the US that I never would've thought over a decade ago if I would've stayed there. I just moved into an apt. all by myself near the DC area and love it so far. You get to meet people from all over the world. My goal is to at least got to about four other countries someday if I ever have the money of course but I'm keeping up my chin for that one. Thanks for the vid Denmo.

Thanks for beeing open and wurnurble about this Jack. I hade birthdays i spent alone also and that sucks

Hearing Denmo talk about social media is the same way I feel. My respect for Demo is officially 12/10

I agree with everything you said. Born and raised in the DC metro area (aka the "DMV"), everyone I went to HS with is stuck in their own bubble. So glad to have left in 2014 to live overseas in Thailand. Quality of life is much better, never stressed about money & finances, etc. I recommend everyone get out of their comfort zone and "man up."

This hit. Especially when you see friends getting married and having kids... shit lowkey blows because it's likely that'll be the rest of their life.

Now, I've been single for 3 years, and I'm envious of the happy families I see. So, instead of looking at them with pity, try to think how a life of loneliness could be the rest of your life with nobody to carry on your name. Please don't make my mistake.

This definitely fits with the eastern half of the US and Canada. In the east, most people just stay there and many are too scared to move and find better prospects. And what he says about city people holding you down is totally true.

i’ve lived in West Palm Beach for 12 years. moved here when i was a kid. I’m tired of it. I want to move and branch out around the state

Sorry, I just came across this video and don't know who you are, but I am impressed by your level of maturity at your age. I'm a 46 year old anglophone from small town Quebec. Dude, you are so correct about this. I always wanted to leave my hometown since I was a young teenager. I saw the larger world outside the bubble I was born in. Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances and a health problem that occurred when I was a young adult, I got stuck in my town. I predicted when I was a teenager what was going to happen to my life if I got stuck here. Surely enough my predictions came true, and it wasn't for the good. I still hold onto hope of leaving, and I may have an opportunity in the near future of leaving the province. It would have been better, and a life changing event, if I had moved out much younger. So it's kind of too late for it to make a difference in my life. However, something is better than nothing. Everyone I grew up with, a high school of 2000 students, all moved out of here. It's rare I ever see someone I grew up with. Wanting to leave ones hometown/region is something that is programmed within our DNA. Some of us just have those instincts stronger than others. Being stuck in a bubble of thinking and living one way is no way to live ones life. I'm a black sheep where I live. I do not fit in; however, when I have traveled to other places/countries I felt more at home than my own hometown. I also found that people will hold you back from reaching your potential in life because they know you have something within you that they don't have. Everyone wants to be ahead of the other, have more going for them, etc. It's also selfish, because people don't want to lose you. But the problem is that they don't care about you when you are around. They eventually take you for granted. And one more thing, people become too comfortable within their bubble, not realizing that one day their bubble can burst. Then what?! Also dude, I spotted something that you said in which I think you may be stuck in a bubble of thinking one way. You stated how some people will only hangout with people who have less going for them in life, etc. Then you referred to people who make more money. Dude, eliminate that way of thinking. You are blocking yourself off from meeting and building relationships with people from all walks of life. Only lookout for ones character and not anything else that goes along with it such as income, career, education, etc. Do not limit the world of possibilities of the people you can meet out there. So unless I misunderstood you, only judge people by their character and you'll be amazed at who you may run into sometimes.

You’re right Denmo! I can’t believe that most people live in there hometown or close to hometown there whole entire life. I moved far away from my hometown 10 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. 😂

Ive traveled the world, been to a lot of different countries. Had my fun in my teens and 20s, now im in my 30s, have a wife and a beautiful baby boy. Living in a small town that has 4 seasons. I have a comfy office job thats easy. Doesnt pay the best but i make enough to get by. Honestly at this point in my life im content and i dont feel like theres anything wrong with that. I have 2 full time jobs now, my actual job and being a parent. Being content and stable is what i need now to help raise my son and to be a good father for him. Granted your advice is good i just dont believe theres anything wrong with people happy just being content with their current situation. I certainly am

Talking About the benefits of consuming foreing contents, I´d Like to say that for me is a pleasure to watch this video and completely understand what was shared. I´ve Learned english alone when I was 17 and I´ve never imagined in the possibility to reach this point. I´ve faced depression for at least 4 years and today, I feel better just because I´ve noticed that nothing is more powerful than the knowledge. I considerate myself as a lover for knowing and understanting things. Knowledge, especially came from outside of our bulb, can make us give another meaning in our way to live. Well, I´m Antonio and this video was a true Eye-opening to look the world out of my bulb. Thanks, bro.

im 19 and moving to a city seems very overwhelming, much less traveling abroad. i already struggle with socializing and the friends i do have are important to me; moving to an entirely different town with totally different people, culture, and atmosphere is a terrible idea. great way to send yourself into a very deep depression and an overwhelming amount of instability in your life that can lead to you being financially destitute with zero safety net. ive done it before. twice.

I left my hometown and ditched all my friends I grew up with. After that my life improved exponentially! Although I have to fight those feelings of nostalgia sometimes.

I still live at home. Getting my brain and health fixed from concussions has definitely held me back. I’ve learned and grown a ton since grade school. I allowed myself to get great at socializing, fitness, skills, and many other things. I’ve finally gotten to the point at 23 where I’m ready to go. For my growth as a man to be as much as possible. I’m doing it so I won’t hinder myself. I’m making myself uncomfortable. It’s definitely tough as a man but I’m ready for it. I have an awesome home life and great supportive family so it’s easy to be around the home town.

My respect for you denmo has gone up 5x after you came out telling the truth about the covid and vaccine situation. You're a legend.

Mines the opposite story. I always wanted to leave and talked about it and actually had people copy me and my exact personality. Wish I talked less about my dreams and goals when I was younger. Literally have double gangers of myself walking around even with the same laugh. The people who were inspired by me turned on me and actually became quite abusive toward me once they had received all that knowledge off me. Then came back years later seeking more knowledge from me. My home town was already extremely international and I got to travel and live over seas a lot as a kid. I always couldn’t understand how people could be friends with the same group and I was always seeking more. But, there was a side to me that kinda wished I could just be simple minded and just fit in and be happy with the same group. Still till this day some of my friends from high school are all in the same group and extremely toxic for each other and they don’t even see it. Like a wasp nest, they cling to each other. Also very incestuous. All sleeping with each others exes but, all still remaining friends. It’s quite fascinating to observe. I’ve been back for almost 3 years now and am clawing to get out again. Can’t stand the miserable weather and the clickyness. Sometimes I wish I met a boy in my home town and settled and could be happy like ‘those couples’ but, I just knew if I stayed with that boy from high school that, I’d be so miserable. But, then I still haven’t found what I am looking for. Acceptance is in the heart. It’s in your own mind. Some days I love it and hate it, some days I’m so appreciative of my clean beautiful area with trees and friendly neighbours and other I feel I’ll blow my brains out if I see another familiar face waving at me. It’s all about mind set. But, I will say the crime here eg. stabbings is getting extremely bad here. So, once I’m done with wrapping up the stuff I came back for, I’m outttttty. And very sad to see a lot of mates from back in the day with serious drug addictions, and extremely toxic.

As you said, you’re only in your 20’s, and it shows. A lot of this is 20’s hubris, before decisions you made 5, 10, even 15 years ago start to have consequences, and you start to gain true perspective.

Yeah, this entire video is just typical youthful wanderlust. There's nothing wrong with wanting to see the world or feeling like your destiny lies somewhere other than the town you grew up in. But don't assume people who choose to stay are somehow deficient for wanting to stay and be content as they are. Young people often leave home because they need to figure out who they are and what they want in life. Some people are lucky enough to know that early on, and so they have no need to leave home.

Moved 2,200 miles away from mine when I was 24 y/o. Never looked back.

I have had the 100% opposite experience but I think that may just be true for people with especially poor home lives. I had to experience the world, go around it and come back to appreciate nuances and forgive flaws, lots of time away to become stronger so I could deal with the real dragon back home before it died. I realize that the town itself was actually quite tranquil but none of that matters in your own little teapot. Misery can be like a pocket dimension. When you see that, you can just step through that door that was already open. Wide open. Birds chirping, leaves rustling.

How

I think every situation can offer different fruit. Some hometowns are full of potential for the future, there are people who live in cities that never need to leave. There are also dead-end backwater industrial towns with nothing to see. It really is about taking initiative.

Where I live born & raised, in Cyprus, there are barely opportunites for creative people especially in the music scene coming from a musican's perspective. I lived in England for 5 years for studying music & I had the honor to experience doing voulnteering for shows, going to masterclasses. One of the biggest problems I see in Cyprus is how political the country is. We are still wounded from the 1974 Turkish invastion & this what the Cypriot community focus on the most rather than giving the youth an opportunity to expand our creativity & tremendous skills to inspire one another. I know many Cypriots that flew out of Cyprus to another European country or the United States for university or career changing opportunities & they tend to stay eventually

Agree with the most you have said, but remember not everyone wants the same, there are people happy living in a single place and I am not here to judge them. Cheers from Mexico bro

I'm 23 and you nailed it

i am 63 and have seen more of this world than i ever expected to. i truly miss my hometown. pop. c.3,000 back in the day. next town? about 90' away. anonymity = the erasure of the individual. it destroys community. you need a street, a bar where everybody knows your name. it's human. travel is tech not connection.

I grew up in a city with a small town vibes. I dropped out of college at 18 and joined the military. I was stationed out in Oceanside, CA (SD county), spend like 5 years there and got a chance to go to Australia for 5 in a half months. It was an eye opening for me that there is so much more out there than where I was from where everyone was doing the same thing everyday. After my active duty contract was up, I moved back to my hometown at 23 years old to finish college. Now that I am almost 26 years old and about to graduate from college pretty soon here, I do want to plan for my next future goals, but I don’t know where I want to go.

Currently doing an engineering internship outside of my hometown and it has helped me lesrn a lot about my self

So here’s the thing. A lot of people will view leaving home as the ultimate adventure/ pilgrimage to go somewhere far in life. However sometimes you are kind of born already in the premiere location. I’m born in NY, I got a job in NYC, now I’m by proxy looking for a house within an hour radius of NYC. It kind of is how it is 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think this topic is very complex and is reliant on a case by case perspective. Some small towns have the perfect opportunities and offer a good quality of life. Some folks grow up in an ideal town but need something different. Basically it's all anecdotal.

I’ve thought about this topic A LOT, thanks for talking about it. I’m from Michigan and it’s not bad here, but if I never move away I’m gonna regret it SO much. I think people don’t move away because they want to take the path of least resistance, and moving away from family and friends is really hard. The way I think about it is like this: I was born and raised here and it’s nice, but what are the odds of THIS being the best place for me. If I had been born in another state, I probably wouldn’t give a fuck about Michigan. It’s funny you’re from Hamilton, I’ve been looking into moving to Ontario (or Québec). Learning French and moving to Québec sounds fascinating
