Draw My Life - Casey Neistat 

1990s: High school dropout, homeless, and a teen father. 2010s: Millionaire, globally famous, flying all over the world in first class every time. That's quite the turn-around. Kudos to you sir!

is it just me or is this really really inspiring?

He was a good father. Despite the divorce he would always keep some money to travel and see his kid, it's something many men wouldn't do. This is great!

"im 33 and have no intention of slowing down." 5 years 2 kids and millions of dollars and now you're just chillin in L.A. what a life

Man,, his face was the same when he was a kid! At 1:50

all the people who say the only reason he has subscribers is because he's rich, really should watch this

You probably won’t see this, but this was wonderful.

Whose here watching this absolute work of art in 2020

Casey started vlogging before vlog was even a word. 👌🏽

Casey has to be one of the most influential and interesting people on earth. He has a such a crazy story in only 33 years, he's done so much and his work is so unique. Thank you for making videos Casey from all of us, we really truly do appreciate it.

First youtube video: "me at the zoo" Casey's first movie: "my son at the zoo"

that Owen's smile at 9:45 - it makes me feel emotional and almost crying...

the relationship between him and his son after all that he went through in his own childhood/teenage life shows how he doesn’t want his son to struggle the way he did, how he cared for him more than anything, what a great role-model, this is so inspirational and powerful. Really touching. ❤️

From a poor guy to one of the best youtubers man I salute you

Who’s watching after he said he was leaving New York?

Owen's 21 now... Wow time flies - This video is so inspirational for so many Casey (like so many others on your channel) - Glad to see you back 🌹🌈☀

so happy for him that he got the chance to makeup every thing for his son .. I wish I had a dad like him

Is it just me or does every RU-vidr have a slightly fucked up backround

I've been casually following Casey for years, but now trying to fuddle my way through making videos about our travels at sea, I'm watching more in earnest. And, yep. I think this is the most inspiring story I've ever heard.

4 years later. I´ve never seen your story before, Casey. Loved it. So inspiring!

I wanna be like Casey when I grow up. He's the coolest 30-something year old I can think of.

Sorry I'm kinda late, but this is one of the best videos I ever watched. Ever.

I am literally watching this a day after his 39th bday... took me so long to realize... Happy Birthday Casey 🎉🎉 You r such a big inspiration💫✨🤗

So inspiring how he really built himself up from rock bottom. That shows that anyone has the potential to do anything, you just have to make it happen. Thanks for this Casey.

They should make a Movie out of his Story :D

Now that there's no Vlog's, I watch Casie's old movies.

Casey I love you with all my heart. You’re such an inspiration. Please always remember that.

damn didn't even know he had a kid. hell i didn't even know he was like 30

after seeing this, i have a lot more respect for this guy.

I didnt know a thing about him, Thought he always had alot of money, but watching this made me realize how hard he had to have worked to get where he is today

"you know those days when you are in a rush to get somewhere and catch every green light? That's what my life's been like"

Idk why but every video Casey makes is just quality. You have to appreciate the effort he puts into documenting his life and now he shares it with us in ANOTHER quality video.

Casey I'm so glad I discovered your channel recently. Your content is so unique and just REAL. Keep creating, you're a legend!

Very inspiring, I want to do something now..but I don't know what

Damn! Still watching this in 2020 while still in quarantine. I never realized that Casey had this kind of life before. You truly deserve everything you got right now Casey. You're videos inspire me so much. Really amazed by the amount of enthusiasm you got in making all of these videos. I hope you don't stop making videos.

Who is watching it now in 2019 ??

This literally is one of the best Draw My Life Videos I have ever seen, and it makes me kinda sad actually. The way Casey went trough all of this... He is successful, has an own company, everything. I am pretty much trying to do the same and achieve becoming a filmmaker or programmer, but here in Germany things go different. I want to move out soon as well, but the thing is no one can do the exact same steps Casey did to become successful. People here are unfriendly, there are no job opportunities except for becoming a farmer, and becoming a filmmaker is the hardest thing to do at all. I am sick of my country... The way it behaves and is drags me down every day, I just want to get out of here, meet new people. Actually, why not move to NYC as well? RU-vid has been up for several years now, but trying to focus on YT now is pretty worthless. Casey used his chances by discovering RU-vid in the early days. Now there are just too many channels and people there. To be honest, I wish my life was harder, so I would actually work for something. Im just sitting at home every day, thinking how to improve my life. It leads nowhere. Casey achieved so much I will never even be able to see... But I cant leave my family, and Germany isnt helping in any way at all. Of course he only Vlogs when he's in good mood, but things seem to be running great for him. The way we get education here drives me crazy. Its pretty much useless when 90% of what we do is unneeded. School doesn't teach us how to live life. How to be successful. How to become a Filmmaker. I dont know what to do... I need a new start.

This is one of the best videos I've watched in the 6 years I've been on this site.

First time a youtube video made me cry. Can't express how thankful I am to you casey. I am very new in your channel but man you are so good. Thanks for inspiring still in 2020. 5 years old still this vlog is a gold

This gives me goosebumps, this makes me understand consistency is very important. Sometimes it’s really not you are not working hard enough, but that you haven’t work long enough. Believe in yourself, believe one day the result will come, that’s how you reach your dream

This is guy is such an inspiration. Maybe not for me because I don't intend on doing film, but I'm sure he is for many others. He's such a great dude.

OMG baby Casey is adorbs!!!!

I will always come back to this video whenever i need inspiration. I’ve probably watched it 20 times by now and it never gets old

31 and now starting my RU-vid journey, thank you Casey for inspiring me.

Dude you might have just saved my life.. I'm in tears and not even kidding.

I am shocked.. I am watching this on 18 july 2018.. i watched so many episodes on your channel about tripping and other stuffs.and i thought u must be rich or you had some money inherited something like that.. I never thought a life like this. HUGE RESPECT TO YOU FOR PULLING EVERY THING TOGETHER AND NOT LOOSING HOPE IN YOU!

Imagine what his gf felt like after he became famous

While there's life, there's hope. There's always something you can do and succeed at. This is the real definition....I've been watching this video almost everyday to remind myself of the message

Bet that first girlfriend took a second to look back on life when she heard about that 2 mil lmao

i'm only 18 and i always thought that i won't go anywhere in life because there's no particular career that I'm passionate about... i wish i'll find it just like you did. there's still time

Pure class Casey....... hard work determination wrapped up with manners and pure decency. I’ve been watching for many years and will continue to do so........... thank you.

Almost 2020 n I’m still loving and continuing to be being inspired by this video 💗

I was thinking to myself "how could I respect this guy more?" then Daniel Johnston started playing

11:19 He only had 402,530 subscribers at this time... this was only 4 years ago...

Casey, speechless, simply speechless. Your crude, raw, and personal way of delivering a story is more passionate than a lot of major blockbuster films. Thank you for the inspiration, and a light in the "Casey Story"

Everytime I need an inspiration, feeling like I am just a loser, fearing that I won’t make anything in my life, i always come to see this video, or Do What You Can’t by Casey. I love how he inspires people everyday! Thanks Casey.

Made me cry. I love how you tell your stories : )

What a fucking inspiration. This is easily the best #DrawMyLife video out there.

Inspiring, Casey ever since I started watching your videos, they have always brighten up my days and you showed how it is to work hard and get to where you want to get, I love the relationship you have with your son. I hope the relationship is the same with my son. You are truly an inspiration man. keep it up!

OMGGGGG CASEY. I can’t believe I’ve never watched this video. I live in São Paulo and I’m stoked to hear that one of the first times you got to present a movie to a big audience was here. Huge fan, hope you can come back here soon

your channel is a breath of fresh air.

He was a dish washer... And his dad sold... Dishwashers...

Rest In Peace Daniel Johnston, whose song appears shortly after 12:05

this video was eye opening. it is really inspiring to know that someone as kind, talented, and smart as you are went through such an evolution!

IDK why but every draw my life had a divorce

When I first came across Casey I thought this guys a RU-vidr , earns loads of money like the others doesn't put effort in...... , until I saw this. I felt bad, selfish and undeserved I truly am sorry Casey. You had a hard life and battled your way through the ups and downs of life and for you this was hard,very hard. You deserve it man your ambition to make films became a reality and you proved that well and truly. I now have great determination and respect for you. Keep it up man , good for you, and ' keep on going' like you said in this episode! Thanks Ollie

It's almost 4 years that you have posted this video and maan i saw this today and loved you story from a small child to this successful maan you don't want to stop respect man♥️

I saw a couple of your videos before but I thought you were one of the trivial RU-vidrs. But after watching this video and knowing about your struggles I hope I will strong enough to hustle as much as you did. Respect to you brother.

I found this really inspiring, thank you

You are an amazing guy

Wow i think i needed to watch this like two years ago i have just started on youtube and the struggle is real with my own work and family and future Even though i live in egypt and the difference between egypt and usa is 18 times Meaning you spend 18 times more the effort and the time to get the exact same thing or success but i got to handed to you the story is inspiring Thank you

Everytime im down or im feeling lost i just watch this video again. Thank you Casey for being one of my biggest inspirations. The fact that we share pretty much the same situations makes me feel i still can go for it. Im 24. I have a 5 years old. I live in NYC. Im trying very hard. I will make it.

Idk something about the imperfections in your movies make me happy. Your not perfect handwriting, the jumpcuts that are a little too quick, the scripted things that don't go perfect but you leave them (Turning the page with the pictures), the messy drawing it makes them movies more sincere??

is it just me or this is the best draw my life!

I'm late on the Casey train, I watched a few here and there... But not everything. Now, in self quarantine, I am watching everything! It is inspiring and I feel Casey guiding me in this storm. I'm so grateful! ❤️

Dude, you inspire me to keep going. I work as a dishwasher and food courier during most of the days (and nights) doing whatever I can to make money. But during my free time, I'm also a photographer and musician and a few other stuff, and even though they don't generate any money yet, the lack of that doesn't stop me from working on achieving the dream: the dream of making a living doing what I love and basically having a better life. And people like you inspire me to not give up, especially now.

casey:we where really poor 10yrs later 21,000 first class airplane seat

casey i have a million things i wish i could tell/ask you... all i can say is that your my inspiration and thank you for everything.. I'm only 14 but i know when i grow up i want to be a filmmaker and follow your footsteps

Casey is such an inspirational and interesting person! Love how he fights for his dreams and it makes me happy that he is so successful now. He really deserves it. ☺️🎥💕

i just discovered casey neistat and my god, i cant describe the feeling that i get when i watch his videos. i get so choked up and emotional but not in a bad way and honestly i don't even know why because im 18 and can barely relate to anything in his videos. maybe it's cuz im an old soul and the nostalgia in his videos like this one hits me? or maybe it's the simplicity of life that he displays in his amazing short film-like videos that get me, i dont know but its really cool

This is the most unique draw my life videos

I finished a math quiz super early to watch this video, but your life is an extraordinary book with so many chapters. You and your videos inspire me to work hard and never stop. Thank you, Casey.

Waiting til now to binge on your videos is amazing. Being a part of it while they were coming out more frequently must have been fun, but this blast of info and entertainment and jumping back and forth between new and old has also been great Thank you Casey. Your quote about life and risk has been ringing in my ears

Casey, you are a talented man! I admire you in many ways! I’ve never had a role model of any type in my life but you! You are the one worthy of calling a real Role Model!

Huge respect

one of the best videos I have ever seen .

5 years later, still such an amazing video. Really inspiring.

The thing that touched me is that you're a great dad ❤️ May god bless you 🙏

how does this man not have 1,000,000 subscribers?

'NeiMac' I love it. My friend Holly had the same one when we were in Middle School. It had the coolest screen saver. Paper, scissors, and a rock would wonder around screen and fight each other. It was awesome. Great memories. Loved this video.

Absolutely Beautiful, makes me believe that my dreams are actually attainable even though it’s seems like they aren’t many times. Always an inspiration Casey :)

Love Casey 's relationship he 's had with his first kid . He did everything possible to know him better and bond with him thru travels and doing stuff together. Brilliant .

The best Draw My Life stories always depict from rags to riches.

Such a heart warming story Casey! You inspired me more than ever to not give up on becoming a filmmaker thank you for sharing your story!

I can't believe that l've only stumbled across this video now. Beautiful story telling Casey. It's remarkable what you have achieved in your life. Well done 👏👏👏

This video showed up in my recommendations and wow! Take a bow, Casey . I have heard so much about you and now this video, that I watched today. You are so awesome a nd so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story 💖

How could this many people dislike this? This is one of the most inspirational videos on RU-vid. A break from all the Logan and Jake Paul drama and all that. It's a beautiful story. Thank you for providing us with this content today, Casey!

Casey neistat makes me want to become a professional videographer and photographer his videos inspire me so much

An amazing movie. I already watched it many times and it got never boring. Great job Casey!

A truly inspiring life even through the hardship you went through you always kept ur values and kept going and didnt give any excuses , Thanks alot for the lesson
