i don't wanna die 

i wasn't crying at the end. just got a little emotional realizing how grateful i am for everything i have right now and how i just wish i could hold onto all of it forever..

feel like nobody talks about how much of a trip it is just getting older

It’s so refreshing to see a man be openly vulnerable and emotional about the things he cares about. Your love for your family is so sweet. Thank you for sharing this 🙂

The trick isn’t to not be afraid of dying, it’s to not be afraid of letting go. Human nature is to try and hold onto everything, but nothing is permanent in any singular form. The only thing permanent is energy, and the transfer of it, and that gives me peace.

I'm 42 and the hardest thing is seeing your parents get old. like old old. Then knowing it's your turn after they pass. if you get lucky enough to even get to that stage of life. Love everyone around you, drop the bullshit and take care of your body.

“I don’t wanna die at all.” I felt that.

Dude you have no idea how much so many of us needed to hear somebody else just simply vocalize those thoughts man. This is crucial to talk about and these emotions are so important to feel, regardless of how sad and somber it feels for a moment. Its almost like the sadness felt is almost always followed by an ever greater appreciation for whats real..if you allow yourself to accept that. Idk. I just appreciate this Goose.

Bro your such a deep thinker. You have one of those restless brains. Its a beautiful thing but it can be a curse. Its beautiful though because you tear it all apart to the root and find the reason and sometimes the reason can bring pain but eventually peace and wisdom. I love this man. Keep thinking man keep searching it hurts sometimes but the hurt is necessary hopefully we will all find a reason for this life. I think we all need a reason 🙏

It's so depressing. I deal with this realization every day. I am even mind blown I'm hearing someone say word for word exactly what I think about almost every day.

I was in a car accident at 22. I survived, but my dad died. My body changed, and I'm permanently disabled now, but that doesn't really matter. Without him, I've never been the same.

I feel this so much.. I'm 36, which I forget constantly. I was just 23 like a few days ago, or it feels like it at least. Thank God I have the comfort of faith, I know not everyone does, but it still stinks knowing there's a time limit on this life. I've really enjoyed it.

I am 36 and I feel like I can't feel accomplished no matter what I do anymore. I worked hard my entire life in the culinary industry just for the virus to destroy all of it, leaving me basically wondering what to do now. I got into game dev and ended up working alongside the creators of The Elder Scrolls, and even that wasn't enough. I feel lost, I went from this self-motivated person that was on my stuff to somebody that just kinda drifts around. I'm not giving up, but to be honest I don't know what to even do anymore.

im not afraid to go but am dreading the day my mom does.

45 and I feel like I'm just getting my shit started. It's never too early or too late to make sure you're doing what's right for you. Enjoy what you have while you have it.

I am 24. The family I was a nanny for all recently died in a plane crash in October of last year. They were family to me. Mom, dad, and two boys ages 5 and 12. I was in the middle of moving out for the first time too, across the country to live with my fiance. I don't have any friends at all and struggle to make them because of Asperger's, PTSD, and STPD. Physically, I am okay. Many have it worse. Life is full of pain, we all feel it, and that helps each other somehow. The greatest unknown isn't death, it's life.

Ive actually been struggling with this every night, it’s been keeping me awake. I’m 23 and I love living. I hate knowing I’m powerless against mortality. When you said “I’m sad that someday it has to end” that instantly brought me to tears. That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling. I’m not afraid of dying I’m afraid of not living. I’ve never been so happy and I already feel like it’s almost over. This ride is so short. Thank you for sharing this it honestly has helped calm that anxiety I’ve been having surrounding this topic. We’re all in this together ❤️

Thoughts like this caused me years of anxiety. It took years to learn to live in the moment and don't fret over the future ❤

The older you get you start to think about the little things that never bothered you when you was young

i really appreciate this style of introspective and honest dialogue, please make more of these! you are really good at it. they are clearly resonating with a lot of people! 😊

i'm gonna be 21 this year and it's cool to hear your thoughts on aging, i really feel like my childhood flew by so quick and i feel like im gonna hit 30 quicker than i felt from when i went from 10-20. i don't wanna keep thinking of my future and i wanna make the best out of what i got right now. i love your content and you always manage to make me smile, thanks man for being here

"I'm gonna blink again and be 44, and then 54..." that is living in the moment, realizing how fast life goes by, and cherishing the "now"

This video hits home as I am 29 and I seriously cannot account for what happened in the last 10 years of my Life. I feel like I just let the same year happen to me again and again. But I'm trying to break that. Waking up a bit earlier,eating a little bit better, working out a little bit more, improving my skills a little bit more and trying to be a little bit nicer to people and myself every day. I guess a meaning to life can be found in that. Also goose don't talk so negatively about your life expectancy, remember Winston Churchill lived till he was 90😅

Thank you so much for this. the impact this can make on one's life is unfathomable tbh. It's what we need to hear, but are too scared to think about. Thank you. I needed this

Hope you made the most of these existential thoughts, as they can often lead to breakthroughs like I think we see here and I feel you. Broke my back at 17 and it's been downhill from there physically speaking. I've lived more than twice how old I was when I was injured for life, and I am most likely halfway or more through my life with this comment. I want to change it up and see what kind of life I can live from here. LFG!!!

y'knkow what, I never realized how young early 30s are until I worked with a girl who was 32 when I was 21. it made me lose the fear of reaching my 30s

This is why helping people and being a great parent is so rewarding. It is fulfilling. We got to have our fun and live free. Time to help our children do the same thing.

This was really great. Just had a talk about this with my son and I love how we have different ways of elaborating the same point. We all experience this life through our own eyes and follow our own path. It does end at some point but who knows whether we will have other chances to exist in another form. I think you did such a wonderful job at expressing your thoughts and I am absolutely blown away at how clear you made it sound while speaking into your hair dryer.

My grandparents were all 90s and perfectly fine, even able to drive. It’s all about luck, GENETICS, your environment, state of mind, and how you treat your body.

I don't think enough people share their most innermost thoughts like this very often, so thankyou for that

I remember my early 30’s like it was yesterday. God man, I was a machine. I just turned 47, have high blood pressure, and have gained weight due to a thyroid issue. It goes so fast. Please enjoy it. Take care of your body and mind. Drink water. Make love.

When you were talking about eternal darkness I was suddenly overwhelmed by what felt like a sudden huge rush of adrenaline, as I realized, on a deeper level then I ever have, that I just wont exist some day. It's something I think about often, but it's such a hard thing to truly grasp, since living is all we know, and honestly it scared the shit out of me. I feel like I've never understood that fact in as real and deep a way as this video has led me to. I hope that because of that, I can actually start living more, and making the most out of the life I have. It's something I always tell myself, but it's something that is so hard to truly realize and acknowledge. This is all we have, so why not make the most of it?

this genuinely pulled me out of an episode that i’ve been having for awhile now. i have been so down lately and wanting to just give up. it’s videos like these that pull be back to the reality of how short life is and that i need to live it to the fullest.

As a 45 year old - I can say it's SCARY how fast time starts going the older you get. Years start feeling like months. Weeks start feeling like days. Shit's wild.

I so feel this video. I am 39 and I have a 2 and 8 year old. I have been struggling with my health the last year and it is believed now after many test I have Sjögren’s syndrome. I have been suffering from gastritis which is my main complaint, it causes me great pain everyday and I am afraid of it turning into cancer. Or all the other complications this autoimmune disease can cause. I was healthy and vibrate just a year ago. Now I struggle all day and cry so much. I always thought I would be somewhat healthy until I was at least 50 but, I didn’t even make it to 40 before my health started suffering. I fear dying so much. I want to play with my babies, I want to be there for their activities, play with them at the playground, go to Disney, share food, be there for their first love, first heartbreak, prom, college. I want so badly to go back to being healthy but, I can’t so now even though it depresses me, I try to just make it to tomorrow. I try so hard all day to be thankful to be able to care for them. To see them smile and laugh and cry. To kiss them and hug them, to smell their hair when they want to comforted. Or to hold my son longer after I rocked him to sleep. I try to always kiss my husband goodnight or goodbye, to let him know I love him so much because this experience has made me realize life is so fickle and you never know what tomorrow could bring or take away.

Your experience mirrors mine when I was very truamatissd with PTSD . I spent my 20s trying to figure this out depressed and making an understanding that everything is pointless and I should try do my best. Ultimately after suffering stupidly I came across magic mushrooms which not only have me answers to all this but directly plugged me back into life and I was just so profoundly overwhelmed with the experience even afterward I changed forever and realised I just want to be here and with people and this whole question ceased to matter and haunt me

The quote "We only die when we are forgotten" means so much to me. I had a stroke in 2014 that gave me a sudden realization that at only 25 I could die and be forgotten. We should strive every day to affect the world in a positive way. We may be forgotten someday but our actions hold power for the rest of civilization. Move with love.

My dad died at 47 and Mother at 55.. you're not guaranteed X amount of years! Every day is a blessing. Use them wisely 🙏

I’m 17 so still young by standards but the death anxiety is real. You seem like such a positive go lucky man and for you to be feeling this way got me tearing up fr. I wish we lived forever

My dad has cancer and hospice is involved now. It was incredibly sad, but he fought like hell. The treatment didn't work. But it does give me an appreciation for the opportunity we all have in front of us. We get to decide who we are every day. It's never too late to decide who you want to be.

@GooseWayneTV hey bud, I mentioned to you a while back that my fiance Kristina was very sick with liver failure, and that she was in the hospital. She is now on Hospice, unable to speak, and basically in a coma. It's just crazy because she just turned 35. I feel terrible for her, and I am extremely depressed. I've been praying non stop for a miracle. If you could maybe say a prayer for her, I know she would appreciate it! She loved the podcasts with you and your wife.

Man this really resonates with me. I feel like the last 10 years flashed by in a blink, I don’t even remember what happened.

Ngl, seeing my dad battle stage 3 cancer and going through chemo is super hard breaking. Its like seeing someone deteriorate is the worst thing but its the circle of life. We just try to take each and everyday as a blessing and try to spend as much time with him as possible.

Beautifully said. We all need to think about this much more often. The world would be much more peaceful if this was consciously on our minds a bit more. It may be sad to think about it but it's only sad because of how amazing this all is in the first place, and letting go of all that is terrifying.

I’m 28 and the thought of dying gives me crippling anxiety. I think a lot of us feel the same way! Enjoy the small things in life and try to make the most memories you can with the ones you love and care for! Hearing you choke up made me sad. You’re not alone Goose!

im 28 year old and balding massively im in a midlife crisis but it could be way worse love you daddy

I'm glad to see you post a video on this because I myself have had severe existential anxiety my whole life (I'm 19 not too old yet haha). I used to have my parents promise me every night that I wouldn't die in my sleep because the fear would consume me daily. I got really good at running away and surpressing the fear of dying, dissociating from it, but lately I've found that I should just maybe sit down and have a talk with death, not in a morbid sense or anything. It's just I realized that if I keep running away from that fear I'll never overcome it and there would come a day where it would be my time to pass and I would still be afraid, and I don't want to be afraid when I go, if I have to go I at least want to be at peace when I do. So now that you kind of have my backstory I wanted to share some thoughts that have kind of helped me with my constant struggle with this, I doubt this comment will be seen in the flood of 3,000+ comments but thats exactly why Im writing this whole essay. Even if it reaches one person, helps one person, thats enough, because I know how much it would mean to me if I heard this years ago. For one thing I think the very fact we even fear death to begin with speaks for itself in many ways, I've grown to think of it as beautiful. Most forms of life on earth just live and die and they never think twice of it, sure they might instinctually fear it and avoid it but they don't understand it like we do, we unfortunately have the privellege of being the only form of life capable of understanding a fraction of the mind boggling complexity that is life. I mean just think about how powerful that statement alone is, you are part of likely the only species in the universe that grasps the very concept of life itself. I think that alone gives me some hope of something after death, its just too odd to me that we alone perceive such utterly massive concepts even at a surface level. I think the fact that we fear and/or acknowledge death makes our lives so much more beautiful, they are not just a blip of light in eternal darkness, they are each their own spectacular fire that could set a forest ablaze. Even if there is no life after death we do create the future, even if your flame burns out, the forest continues to catch fire, you are not just an ember destined to flicker away, you are the spark that set YOUR world on fire. We burn as bright as we can because we fear the day we stop burning. I kinda went on a bit of an "inspirational rant" there but I want to touch base to what my original thoughts were, I mean just really let it sink in that no other lifeform in the perceivable universe can think like we do, I mean even if we we're just a product of some explosion in space it's still so spectacular that life capable of understanding so much around it would ever be developed from such events. Life typically just exists you know, it just follows the normal timeline but a little bit differently, it is created/formed, sustains that form, then passes away, they don't question things, they just DO. It's natural, what isn't natural is how much we truly understand, saying its mind-blowing is an understatement. A being that came from seemingly nothing concious AT ALL that has the potential to understand IT ALL. Even the concepts we can't understand are acheivements, try to imagine a new color, a completley new color, not a mixture of other colors, a completley new color, you can't, its impossible, we can only understand what we perceive, yet we perceive what we cant understand, the very fact that we perceive the concept itself is insane. All of these thoughts and no other lifeform even reaches a fraction of our level of intellectual capability, it's just simply so incredibly bizarre, no human can wrap their head around it logically, human intelligence is such an anomaly, it is either the single greatest miracle to ever happen, or there is something beyond this life. Anyways those are just my thoughts about this so far. I still fear death every day of my life but I've found it better to find my own understanding of it rather than be consumed by it my entire life. I don't want to feel this fear forever. [Edit] - I mean even think about identity, the fact we attach an identity to ourselves is crazy itself not even animals really do that, I mean look at dogs/cats seeing their own reflection, they get shocked because they don't have a real concept of themselves, they just experience. But humans don't just experience, it's so hard to put into words my ambitions exceed my mental capacity, but humans don't just experience life its almost as if we exist beyond it. Again its so hard to express what I mean by that, but just the very fact that we have our own identity, we say "I am me", we can't even perceive a world where you don't have a concept of your own identity, thats how ingrained it is into you. You can't perceive a world where you don't acknowledge YOURSELF, and yet again the very fact that we can point out the absurdity of our own concept of identity just continues to prove my point here, we are spectacular, inconceivable beings regardless of if death is permanent. So don't let fear consume you, understand it, it's what we're best at.

Love this guy. Thank you for your videos. Such a trip growing up and it’s hard to look back at your life as it’s already passed you by.

Mundane routines will make it seem like your life is on turbo mode. You can cruise through decades like they are hours. In my 20’s I realized that if you make your life unpredictable & chaotic then it will make it seem much longer. That’s why life seems to speed up as you age because you start to know what to expect and it all starts to meld together. I am 37 now with a 5 year old and I try to make things interesting everyday by trying new things & going new places. It’s difficult, but I have noticed it seems to help.

Your voice breaking up around the end is a testament to how you value what you have. Fear of little time to be with what you value shows the importance it has to you. It's a good place to be, and I hope I find a way there myself too.

I have mad respect for this dude saying what we all think multiple times a day about our self

Thank you for this video. I have been really struggling with these thoughts this year and it got me so low I was in a pretty dark place just a couple of months ago, but you're right, with time, I have learned to find some acceptance. I'm trying to LIVE more and be present. Go outside and listen to the birds, hug the people you love, do your best for yourself every day. You deserve it.

I'm 35 with a newborn girly and have been going back to this issue, feeling depressed about it but hearing someone else open up about it really helps honestly 🙏🙏 thank you for being so transparent

Apeirophobia - the fear of forever I struggled with this a lot in my early years because I always wondered what would happen if existence just never ended. But I found peace in god and knowing that time may not be the same in the afterlife and it really helped me a lot cause I used to lose sleep over fear of living forever even after physical death

Goose is at the age where now hes nostalgic, and its what every man goes thru bro. We all literally do. Im 43 and that shit snuck up quick as fuck. But dying is part of life, it gives meaning to life. Live your life as much as you can!

Love you bro, i've been thinking about the same thing, super worried about my expectancy from other external factors, let alone my own health... But I love the time I lived, either way; I'm grateful to have met you when I did.

The best thing about developing a stoic mindset is knowing your going to die and everyday trying to make a difference in the blip of time we have in this world. I aint afraid of dying but im afraid of dying before I find my purpose.

I've had all these thoughts. All you can do is try to enjoy each day while you are here. Go on some adventures. See the world. Find someone to love.

I used to be afraid of dying alone, now I’m afraid of losing my loved ones and simply not existing with them anymore, and coming to the realization that everything ends, even the happiest parts, can be such a hard pill to swallow 😢 I appreciate you being authentic. It was a nice video. All the best.

Existential moments with Goose. I’m 37, and just here for life’s ride at the moment. Also, sleep is good for you, please don’t skip out on it. Live in the moment, appreciate the little things. Unfortunately, death is inevitable, can’t worry about it too much.

I once didn't fear death, just like most people. Well it was scary when i was close to it, but not after. Then one day i fully understood the horror of it. It was the strongest emotion of my life, you could barely even call it terrifying, it was magnitudes stronger than that. Then suddenly one day recently , my fear suddenly dropped back to zero. I didnt accept it, quite the opposite. I opposed it. I wanted to fight it as long as i could and for as many people as i could. It was my life goal. But now my motivation to fight it is none, yet it still remains my goal. I feel like part of me is missing without it now.

Thanks for this, man! Constantly thinking about this. Struggling to grasp the idea of death. And just not exiting no longer being able to feel. And 160 is wild!!

It was very insightful. Thank you for sharing. Life is more brutal than we realize. Little, innocent children are dying every day. We made up stories about the afterlife and such just to cope with the ruthlessness of this world. Being grateful we're still here is the only thing we can do.

Beautiful reminder. we're all going through this life together and no one is truly alone. May we set aside our hate and difference so that we can be present to enjoy life as it is.

30s is prime babe, embrace it because I am! Be strong and self improve everyday.

These were some deep thoughts GooseWayne. Whenever we have that realization about how short life really is, for a moment we feel like we finally "get it" and we'll live our lives more fully... The problem is that we so easily forget that mindset, I guess as a defence mechanism and we fall back into blissful ignorance. Thanks for the reminder man, and yeah we gotta do our best to live every moment to the fullest. Cheers

This really made me cry. I'm around the same age and I tend to forget how short life is. I think I'll start waking up early on my days off, trying new things and just enjoying the little moments.

i think there's comfort in knowing that WAY more people than you think feel the same way .. we're all on this massive hospital boat together

Im 36, feel like i just started living my best life yet

Having just turned 40 and no longer able to convince myself into believing I'm not middle age yet, it's an experience for sure. Like you, I drank for about a decade before I got sober and now I eat healthier and stay active which has proven for me to be a great benefit to all aspects of my well-being. All I can say to the younger people out there is to have fun, but make taking care of your physical and mental well-being a priority. Middle-age doesn't have to be this scary, existential crisis like you may believe, it can be the beginning of yet another chapter in your life. To the best of your ability, fill your life with experiences that you'll remember and hopefully cherish because at the end of the day, life is nothing but the culmination of all those experiences. None of us know when our final chapter will be written, so hopefully you take every opportunity to make your life an interesting story. Thanks for being so candid about this and sharing it.

Growing up, I was extremely curious and me growing up with the internet, I learned things that literally everybody in my family didn't care about. I constantly filled my head with answers because I wanted to know so much about life. That eventually led me to becoming agnostic because I didn't see any point in believing in the traditional god when there's so many thing to question about religion. I would say in the past 5 years or so, I have been getting really into NDE stories (Near Death Experience.) There's a really good podcast on Spotify about them where each podcast is a person who died, came back and has their own story to tell about what they saw. Surprisingly, millions of people all across the world have them and what's even trippier is all of these people are experiencing very common things. There's patterns of people describing the same exact thing. You leaving your body and seeing yourself lying somewhere as if you were a different person. Bright light that makes you feel comfortable and peaceful. Life review. Seeing relatives who have passed. At first I was a huge sceptic because a ton of them has people stating they seen and talked to Jesus or God. But as you listen to more and more, from atheists to people who are hindus and don't believe in Jesus are all seeing the same thing. Doctors are already ruling out that it's some sort of chemical being released during death and it still doesn't describe why people are not only seeing the same thing on the otherside but also pointing out things they seen while floating above their body that they shouldn't have seen while being under. I truly believe now that there is something after death. I don't exactly what it is but it seems to be something after we die. Then you hear about the NDE stories of going to a pitch black void of a place where they are mutilated and tortured, hear people screaming and apparently smell sulfur. It all just puts your whole world view into perspective. What is my belief now? I'm not sure. I'm still on the agnostic side I think but I have thrown out a personal request to God that if he's real, I would like for him to come into my life. I've had some extremely weird things happen to me in my life to where it had me questioning how we think reality works. Anyway, sorry for the rambling if you got this far. I felt as if I had to mention this out there into the comment section. I don't know the nature of the universe and what's out there beyond what we can see but I do think it's foolish to think we know absolutely everything and what's real and not real. Especially with the weirdness of quantum physics and related topics.

Wow, love seeing him be real for a video. I love all his videos but this was the first real one I've seen, and boy did it hit hard. I'm 35 with a 2 year old, looks like I gotta stop sleeping in and pick up a few extra hours to save for Disney. Love this Goose, Thank you!

Just turned 25 spiraling into existential thoughts. Didn't know I needed this video.

Beautiful conversation. I’m the same exact age and think about these things every day. The thought of losing someone or even leaving someone behind and how it might affect them can be a really heavy thing to process. It’s all about perspective and learning to appreciate every moment. Because no matter how bad things might be for someone, it can always be worse.

Blessing and curse my mother had me when she was 17, I’ve been so grateful to get to spend so much time with my grandparents and even my great grandparents.

Being a Vet i take nothing for granted, i lost friends that werent old enough to have a beer and barely old enough to vote. Now in my 50s and retired from the military for a while now, i live in pain from the dozen surgeries ive had, live with ptsd and depression. My wife is who keeps me around.

im 33 myself, and i've thought about it a lot lately. after your 20's are over you can literally blink and be 5 years older. was looking at my parents and thinking how old they look now but never noticed the small changes over the years. all we can do is be conscious of the nearing inevitable and make the most we can with what time we have left. bless up brother love the content.

I'm not middle aged yet, but I'm at a phase where I revisit a lot of things I loved as a kid and look at them through a different lens. I recently re-watched Disney's Tarzan and found myself tearing up at moments that I once didn't give a shit about. It made me realize that art in general is one of the main things that makes life easy to let go of. Knowing that future generations can be inspired by the same things that inspired you, whether it be film, music, culture, whatever it is... it helps you understand that at some point you have to live life in a more selfless way and simply do your best to make the path easier for others before it's your time to go.

I love you Goose!! I'm going through it too man. I'm currently 33. I'll be 34 in August. I understand how it feels. This thought has been plaguing me the last couple of years. Hey, at least you get to be here to make this video. You get to watch your daughter grow up and make her smile. You get to experience life. That's the miracle and the win!! Keep your head up and keep smiling and making your family happy.

The things we choose to focus on every day matter. These conversations need to be a bigger part of our every day. It’s okay to lose focus and get immersed in what we love about life but it’s very important to return to the foundation of what we know. That life is short and love is everything.

it’s the getting older and having to deal with slowly losing people you know is the hardest for me. every moment counts.

Man I'm telling you im 33 and was diagnosed with RRMS at the end of 2023and have thought about nothing but the end of my life but you got me crying my eyes out listening to this 😭😢 I think about dying all of the time. When my dad passed in 2022 I went blank and figured death is nothing but darkness. I thank you for this video and I'm glad I'm not alone in these feelings and thoughts 🙏

Thanks for this video man. I could listen to you talk about this kind of stuff all day. Much respect for talking on some real s***. Its very refreshing hearing you talk like this. It's as if the vale is being lifted, and I feel your audience will appreciate you even more for showing this side of you.

Same boat man. I just realized this last week. Time to live in the moment and enjoy everyday like it’s our last! Remember all good things come to an end brother.

i’m only 18, and i’ve been battling with these types of thoughts for about 4 years now. i was on instagram way too young, and i saw people dying in horrible ways and it lead me to websites of even worse videos. i’ve been so hyper aware of death and what will come afterwards that i can’t even seem to live. we all get that sense of invincibility because we feel like we have so much time, but anything could happen, any day, any second. as i’ve gotten older the panic attacks have lessened and i feel less dread about it, i try to only surround myself with positive thoughts and if i catch myself worrying i like so put something funny on to distract myself, your videos are good distractions :)

Damn dude i feel that. On that thought (pretty much in the same situation here regarding stage of life) it helps me alot to think about what i want my legacy to be. Yes we vanish one day. But if i can manage to be remembered... maybe even over generations for anything no matter what. I think that is what keeps us in the world and that is worth pursuing in life. Build a future for who comes after you and be a remarkable person (you definetely can check on that man!). That thought fills my heart and leaves sadness behind.

You’re not over half way done man, the body is amazing at recovering and medical science only gets better. We’re born to expire, it’s about the little one you leave behind. I find solace in my children and their children and their children’s children. Through your dying, you create so much life for generations to come

i’m turning 24 this year and everything you said in this video has been running rampant in my head the last year or so. i too wish i could hold onto this life forever. it’s an extremely depressing thought that everything you’ve fought so hard for in life will just be gone one day. Thanks for uploading this goose, i’ve been feeling really alone in the topic.

Ive survived so many crazy things ive learned to just be thankful everyday im alive. Alot of people dont get to live to old age, so its kind of a blessing and a curse, but being grateful has made me appreciate life so much more

It’s crazy how much i feel these exact emotions every single day. Whether it be when i first wake up, or when I’m going to bed, everyday i have those thoughts of how saddening it is that one day this has to end. And as far as we know it , all the cool people, the funny jokes, the beautiful sights and sounds, movies , music , etc etc , are for nothing because we won’t remember any of it. Much love to everybody living, glad we got to do it together

This is the realest video I think I've ever seen. Im 28 now, looking at 30. Just lost both of my grandparents. I wish I could freeze time at a point in the past constantly. It makes me sad too. Maybe we can just be sad as a group. Love everybody, make the most of every day. Thanks Goose. I'm gonna pray for you. Thanks for bringing me some laughs in some really difficult times.

I’m 40 and I have 6 sons ages 20,18,14,8,7,3 😂 I feel good and no grey hair. Worked construction all my life. Don’t worry about dying, dying takes care of itself. Live!

I’m so grateful to have found your channel this year. Thank you for sharing such a real and heartfelt message. I turn 31 next week and I’m having similar thoughts and feelings. Hopefully we’re all making the best of it.

I agree with you, I'm 39. However, as I move towards 40, all I honestly feel is blessed to have had another year. So many unfortunate people never reach their 30's, never reach adulthood, hell never even leave the childrens hospital ward, or are even born at all 😢 with every day, I am eternally grateful.

Y’a know what, parasocial it may be but you bring smiles to this weary soul brother, hitting 33 in a few days with some major health shit to tackle for the rest of my days. Thanks for being a good one.

I’m 33 next month, second child on the way. I work hard outside and my body is starting to hurt. I feel this. However I wouldn’t replace the knowledge and experience I’ve gained. A decade can go by fast, but at the same time so much an be accomplished with the clarity and know how that comes with age. I’m looking forward to my 40’s

My dad recently died and holy shit man. Talk about an eye opener. We all know we dont live forever, but when you're next, bruh... Dont like it.

I know the feeling... Just remember this -you are not promised tomorrow so cherish today, you never know... I had no thoughts of death when I was young until at the age of 9 I battled cancer and there was a point when I realized this may be it. Ever since then I don't take anything for granted for better or worse. smile now... It may be your last chance.

I'm the same age as you, and you really speak my mind. I also feel depressed when I think about it. The most painful part is seeing my parents get older while I'm living far away a road. I don't know what my purpose in life is anymore.

I have too much existential dread for this. But I appreciate the deeper convo.

To be fair. Most of us don't really remember spending our first 10 years or so. You have made many of thousands of people smile and laugh. That's a lot more than most of us can say. If life has no purpose, you decide what the purpose is.
