emotional connection is the reason why i am a part of the 20%

i started photography as a 15y old, i was born in a war back in '98 in Kosovo. We grew up in a poor condition when we didn't have good access to internet so i was so bored during ths day, living in a small village with nothing around school was the funnest parts of our lifes, but those 3 months off were the worst, literally nothing to do around, kids were going to the city for summer so i would spend all day taking pictures with my digital camera and was plugging it home on tv so i can look at them in our tv, i would do that almost every day. Then when I started high school it was a huge change for us, big city, bigger classes, more than 30 people on the class that was too much for us, we were 8 people in the class for 9 years. So then i started taking more pictures & then i started taking dope pictures of myself & then my friends started liking pictures of me so then they were asking me to take pictures of us, with only iphone tho. Then I went to college for graphic design, which i really loved it, the part for ideas, for creating something out of nowhere really made me so curious, i was so lazy in the digital part but i was just so focused on the idea cuz i believe ideas can change the world, physical work can be bought. So then I moved to New York by myself when i just turned 20y old, I came here for 3 months with student exchange. I've been here for 5 years now, i haven't hugged my mom for 5 years. My Dad died 2 years ago. I couldn't go home cuz if i did, i wouldn't be allowed back in America. I couldn't be there when they buried my father. When my mom cried i wasn't there to make her smile. I couldn't be there for her. Im still not there for her, now 5 years later, Im 25 year old who went back to picking his camera because he missed home, he's doing the only thing he was doing when he was home, his everyday thing, his routine. I started during the pandemic with pictures of the protests in New York back in may 2021 if im not wrong. I liked witnessing history, i felt like i was capturing history, got an art exhibition in Greece a year later which i couldn't go either. Then I started taking more videos cuz people started asking more for it, no one asks for photos anymore, they want to capture their events, their shows so they can come there. The whole point of social media now is inviting people to theirstyle so they can sell them their products more. So the more people see their videos, the more chances they going to have more costumers. Yes now as you can see i went deep into the philosophy of it and now just a kid taking pictures because he had no access to the internet. i miss the joy of it, i miss the just taking pictures for me to watch them on my TV while switching slides with my remote. I just always wanted people to see what i made. im not sure if this has roots deep into my childhood, lack of words of affirmation, maybe that's what its leading me here? To show people my work? To see what they think? To see if i can make people happy? I still haven't profited anything crazy during my process, I spent 70% of the budget paying for the crew. but i know one day this is going to be all worth it. Cuz no one can love it more than i love it for myself, i need to save that kid, that kid needed love, that kid needed someone to tell him he did a good job, because that's what i think i've been chasing my whole life, people to tell me that i did a good job. But now its me, im putting me first, i know what i can do, people lose me if they don't work with me, Im done profiting 1k for a whole month

i relate to almost everything you said in this vid to a tee. almost scary. 20%: im worried about whether the thing im working on is really what i want to be doing, im worried about whether my passion really is that or if this is just another “endeavor”, im worried that ive lost the vision that made me excited at the start, im worried whether this was worth taking the leap of faith for, or if im going to have to embarrassingly crawl back to my old industry; im worried that i never was good or creative, i just got lucky a couple times and have friends that cheer me on, im worried when i get opportunities that i’m going to let them down (this causes a decision paralysis that makes it far easier to let them down). i have big ambitions, but when just starting out while this does lead to rapid growth, it also inevitably leads to frustrations. these frustrations get associated with the endeavor, and more insidiously, they get associated with just the idea of me following through. im worried that this will only get worse if i don’t start following through now and break the cycle. i also have plenty of other worries aside from work. it does make it easier when i stop and breathe for a moment and remember that even if everything did go wrong, id still be alive and breathing, and i could figure out how to move forward- its not the end of the world like it feels. logically, i know what i have to do, and the fear is just in my head, but it really is hard to remember sometimes. even if nobody reads this, this made me feel better, so thanks

The only thing stopping me from starting so many fun things is the fear of what people will think or how i will continue it, but i know need to take each day, day by day but it just feels so hard not to be anxious about the future

20%. I’m glad this video found me, the emotions described in this video have been very prevalent in my life lately. Before I knew how, I took on a doozy of a motorcycle restoration project. 4 months in I’ve had heaps of frustration and self doubt, but I’m making progress and I’ve learned so much. There’s something amazing about jumping into a project that you don’t have a clue about and being on the steep side of the learning curve. Whatever you’re waiting to do, just start

20% squad. Reason for keeping going is just to feel alive. Life is beautiful and full of wonders, the only issue is that we live in hyper capitalism, so in my humble opinion there is no life without franklin in your pocket. And that’s another reason: build great career/business or become extremely valuable in your field to supply yourself, your family and be able to enjoy life to the fullest. P.S. Thank you for posting this.

I have way too many things that I want to do and I just can't pick one favourite out of them so I just spend my time on thinking of only a few things out of those many that I should do because if I pick up too many hobbies and skills I want to improve then I won't be perfect at any and I'll just end up average at all of them, I wont be able to tell someone "oh I'm really good at this" I'll only be able to say "oh yeah I can do this pretty well" yk?

Hello, 20% here. I am currently changing my job (for the first time) and it is absolutly terrifiying. For this exact reason I was stuck in my old job and now fear whats about to come in thr next job. The biggest question was "Is this the right choice". Time will tell. But today I started to clean out my desk and just stopped for a moment in this one odd thought "How is it possible that the things I keept for years can be thrown away so easily? This are years!! But actually, its just like that." Things change and thats mostly a good thing. Being stuck makes us sick.😅 Sorry for the rambling. Thought this might fit

“Comparing your day 1 to someone’s day 1000” was such an impactful statement. I think it’s worth saying we are used to falling in love with the idea of the “end goal” and don’t realize the work/hurdles we will face through the journey. And instead, the idea is to enjoy the journey!

I’ve been trying to write music for years now. It’s always been a huge part of my life but I can never seem to get it right. I don’t want this to be my job, I just love music and I wanna create something I would listen to. I’m going into my last year of high school and it has been 7 years since I’ve started. How do I know that something I’m writing is good?

I started creating my own Designer toy amd ask myself often, will i ever sell anything to anyone, but try to kill this thought instand and if not possible, i stop thinking about and say to myself, wait until tomorrow, this will be a new day with better mood. Sometimes you cant control it, so the best thing is, accept it how it is, that you cant be 100% happy 24/7 and start tomorrow again. This helped me to stay on my goal.
