I'm 31 and I spent my 20s learning how to be an adult, save money, buy a house, and now that I'm in a good spot I've been going back to what I loved doing in my teens. I have a creative career, I'm learning to draw, listening to music I liked in high school. I definitely feel fulfilled. Growing up isn't too bad as long as you stay true to yourself.
you gave me hope.. I am currently 24 and i don't like my life. I have too many responsibilities and my days are just filled with nothing my trying to fulfill my family's conditions which involves a lot of money while striving to finish my degree etc etc. I really hope that I will get the life want back some where in the future :)
Usually seeing the adults puts me in so much stress that I get scared of growing up. Only a few adults make me feel it wont be too bad when I do grow up. Thank you for being one of them:)
its so endearing watching a group of teens and young adults get together and let out their "childish" side to just have fun, even if they dont know each other :)
I just did the exact same thing. Really makes you realised how important non Hollywood content is. Home made movies can be replicated but nothing will replace the real thing :)
I'd hope there were such clips of me... But my parents didn't film that much. I feel like German culture overall really doesn't capture a lot on tape, which I find sad.
I read that title and I already know the feeling and thought process 😌 I honestly don’t like growing up, I’d rather be a carefree, spontaneous and naïve child. As u get older, people expect more, ur treated differently and sometimes you go through and learn things u wish I’d never had to go through or hear. Happy Birthday btw 🎂 wishing u an amazing one! 😄
Bro this literally made me cry, I’ve been struggling lately about my life decisions. I’m growing older and I’m still stuck in the place i was years ago. Seeing my friends moving forward makes me happy but also breaks my heart because I’m not with them heading forward. I know I’m not in a good place right now but heading back to my own headspace and thinking that maybe someday I’ll get out of the place where I’m stuck in right now is a possibility. This reminds me that everybody can take the time off and just enjoy the moment. Thanks man belated happy birthday!
what you said about moments really hit me. up until now I always held myself back from others. I’m scared of getting hurt and that I will hurt them. Being in someone else’s life even for a second can make a difference and it’s scary. I can’t explain it but i really haven’t connected with people. I live in suburban America and everyone just seemed uninterested after we reached a certain age. I am leaving for college in exactly 17 days and it’s absolutely terrifying. but despite everything. this video has made me hopeful that there are places, people, and more memories than I can even imagine. thank you.
Ah I cried when I turned 20 and still cry every birthday four years straight . I envy how brave you are for just going out there and doing what you want
How did you manage to put every feeling we feel right now as a generation in one video and few sentences? That was rhetorical question. Happy Birthday Aidan! Wish you all the best and keep creating!
Best editing on RU-vid. Seriously, you know exactly how to weave a narrative and make the viewer feel all of the different emotions.I will turn up for this free therapy session any day.
i’m about to start my final years of high school and dude growing up is kinda scary but seeing your videos makes me feel like it’s okay to slow it down and just live life and chill with what’s going on now
“I want that feeling of being a kid again” bro I felt that. Really enjoy your videos and your creativity around them. It has your style to it which I love
After losing a whole year, this summer I've finally started to get out and live my life with the people that mean the most. I wouldn't be here without your videos, keep doing what you do man. Happy birthday, wish you all the best!
Everytime I watch a video from you, I just catch myself smiling throughout the whole video. As bad as it may seem sometimes, it's times like this, that I adore the most.
this meant so much for me. the fact you can be free and share vulnerability with people in general and strangers is what people need including me. I loved when u talked about how you want to fill your life with memories so you feel full-filled when you die. You are really good at storytelling and making a film in general! THANK YOU!!
If there was a quote inspired by you, I feel it would go something like this, "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” ” ~Hunter S. Thompson P.S. happy belated birthday 💕
I dont know why but im always crying when im watching your videos. Your videos are just awesome and perfectly edited. Much thanks for your content. Greetings from Germany!
sir , I only came across your channel last night and I feel comfort from your videos like I feel from no other. I don’t know what it is , the way they’re laid out and presented , or just the joy and happiness in each video. Actually , I think it’s that each video truly means something to you , the events carried out in the video are memories you’ve made and for us watching too. Idk , it’s just great :) keep creating , you’re doing fucking amazing😌
I’ve been so fucking lost in life, but your videos help to not feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t know what the fuck I’m doing and still find ways to enjoy life. It’s relieving how relatable your content is. Your personality, the connections you make with people, being super genuine, and deep open minded conversations. it pushes me to keep wanting to be the person I want to be, to get out of my comfort zone, and to some how make a positive impact to others. Happy birthday 🎂 keep enjoying life ❤️
His videos always make me unconsciously smile. I start to appreciate the memories I have and know that I’m not too old yet to make more young memories. I’m about to turn 20 in 3 weeks and life is just flying by. I have no regrets
its my birthday today and im so freaking happy to see your video dude!!!!!! lately ive been feeling similar, can't believe how all of this life has happened and times been running away and away, the futures scary but rn just existing here, is Something. your videos are so great bro lots of love 💖
Dude this made me smile so much. Watching you have a really fun time with a bunch of strangers with no prep, just reminded me of when I'd do stupid shit like this with my friends. I'm turning 18 in a year and I've been scared about getting older and losing that childish sense of wonder and fearlessness. But, seeing you, a 24 year old guy, doing the exact thing I was afraid would be lost in time, has gave me a little more courage to face adulthood head on and still be an immature dumbass having fun with it. Hbd tho! I appreciate all the videos you make :']
im so proud of your journey and who you've become, you inspire me to live my life the fullest.. i love how you show every emotion and you pass that feeling to us, idk i just look up to you i wish you the very best in life and happy birthday♡
i think that it is both crazy but incredible that this single individual is able to bring together a load of other strangers that have no connection, and provide them with a moment that they will probably never forget.
something I love about your channel is that even though this is someone else's life and memories, I can still laugh and smile and be happy. It really amazes me that I was genuinely happy and excited along with you and your friends, and Im really happy that I can feel like I shared a moment with you :)
My favorite part of this video is when we are watching him grow up. Honestly I thought about myself and how the years have passed. It made me happy watching him smiling at his young self.
Your videos to me are a series of short films that I don't want to end. You should be proud on the fact that I have never skipped any of your videos since I subscribed. You are really good at what you do, and by that I mean, the way you live your life. You only live once, right?
Valspire never fails to nail the feeling of feeling young and spontaneous. Creating memories to remember forever. These videos really keep me grounded. Reminding me of how short life can really be and how precious really life is. Ik We’re all to caught up in tryna be an “adult” we forget to live life a little. As they would say. The world is what you make of it… we all will die one day so be kind and give nothing but positive vibes and most importantly… LOVE ❤️. Love y’all humans 🤟❤️
I always look forward to watching another video, not only because of the awesome adventures you have in each one, but the music is so beautiful and was perfect for this video like it is for every video.
I'm watching this on my 24th birthday and all i can say is i'm not ready either. Listening to what you said, i've always felt the pressure of the world on me, even when I was a child and there are very few moments where i've been truly happy but they were always the ones where i was doing mundane things with people that i love. Happy birthday Aiden, keep doing you, you're doing good!
Everytime I watch his videos there's a feeling of emotion that I cant explain. As in I want to elaborate what I feel but I just cant. I wanna do these things too in the right time. Like going on a road trip and documenting your whole life
From 11:58 made me emotional honestly 🥺😭😭🤍 🥺…idk if it’s because I never really had much friends at all, never really did those fun things… idk🥺….but anyway…happy birthday!💕and i love this video💕
At the End i was in tears don't know why not sad not happy Just A feeling which i have never felt in my whole life you,don't have idea to how many you are inspiration! Man i don't have words all i can say is 💜
24, about to become 25 next month. Time flew too fast, I don’t think I’m even mature enough to be called an “adult.” This video is so relatable, it’s what I go through everyday my birthday approaches.
Just hit 24 a few days ago too and man, i already wish i did more with my life. I've been stuck for a few years in a repeating loop of work, gaming and sleep. At the beginning of 2020 i've decided to finally spend some of the cash i've made to go on a huge journey. But covid fucked all my plans and just postponed everything. I'm gonna quit my job by the end of the year and hopefully i can travel by then. I wish i could go to Japan (i've dreamed to go since i was 9 yo) but they only give visas to people who have family there. I'm just gonna go wherever i can and spend a few months there to get my life straight. I hope that after all of that i can find a passion and a job i love to do. Hopefully
also, the use of 'Rhubarb by Aphex Twin made me feel weird as it's the one song I listen to while looking at the stars, thinking about life. Great choice my guy
Your videos feels like a life's "PAUSE" button. Watching it makes me feel like a kid again, not worrying about everything and just enjoying tge moment.
IDK what should I comment on... you are my most fav ... and you always inspire me to live and enjoy life ... and few day ago when my friends said oh you are that kind of person who gets happy by little things, small moments and seriously that's because of you ... thank you so much for that...
Getting old should be viewed as a luxury and not a tragedy. After my sister passed away unexpectedly, I realized that old age is an accomplishment that is not available to everyone. I try to look at each day as a precious gift and experience it to the fullest, both not wishing time away and also not fearing it’s passing.
That being said, I do understand the fear that comes with getting older and having to face more responsibilities and expectations. Your videos are beautiful. Happy belated birthday
Take those tapes and get them digitized and backed up. I did that with my family's tapes. It was a hard financial bullet to bite, the cost of doing it, but I can't describe the relief of having them secured so they can't easily be lost. It looks like you probably did, given that you were able to show some of them in the video. If you didn't digitize and back up every tape though, do it. No matter what is on it. It's worth it. You should consider yourself lucky that your parents not only could afford a camera to record you like that, but that they chose to do it. This goes out to anyone reading this comment as well: Get your tapes digitized so you can back them up in multiple locations and safely saved. Your kids and grandkids will value it. Think of all the people who couldn't afford it, or who's parent's didn't think it was worth doing. To anyone reading this whose parents didn't, please, if you have kids, record them living their lives, and save those videos. It's possible to do it in 4k now. You don't have to, but if you can, it's worth it.
I love your videos. I admire how you can make strong human connections with people. You're able to record and stay in the moment which a lot of people today can't do. You're the type of person that makes people forget that they have phones and just enjoy what they have and what they are doing in that exact moment :)
Every time you post a video, my heart fills with joy. The sense of adventure you have combined with your "live only for right now" mindset makes all the things you do that much better. Your filming/editing skills are amazing. I feel like I'm watching my favorite movie every time I watch your videos. You are giving all of us an amazing lesson that life is not about how much time we have on this Earth, but what we do with that time. I love seeing your beautiful free spirit soar and I can't wait to see what comes next :) Happy 24th birthday!
I noticed guys take longer to grow up. It’s kinda sweet they wanna keep in touch with their youthful side but to me it’s kinda scary as well. I couldn’t imagine doing stuff like this without worrying about what I’m gonna do with my life. 😓
Your videos give life man. They comfort me and give me hope for that at some point I can travel freely and go on adventures and have deep conversations with people mixed with doing stupid stuff
You’ll never grow up buddy. You’re still the same great and happy kid that ran around robinhill with all of us. Every time I see you again, you remind me of those good times we shared. Also that first little kid grad pic was that from St. Peter and Paul daycare lmfao??
its my birthday today (im turning 22) and i clicked on this without really checking the thumbnail, now im feeling weirdly emotional about it, im really grateful to have found your videos, they make me feel more alive than real life sometimes (most times) so thank you
you are the most spontaneous and happy virus person ive ever seen, you are truly someone who makes me feel safe and comfy, thank you for always giving us advices. I feel like we are growing up together and I’m excited to see what’s coming in the future ! I love you so much
I don't think there is such a thing as "growing-up". I look at it as just "gaining experience points" as you go. Just enjoy life at every stage. It'll all be fine. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Me at 28 reading the title of the video.. SAME!! So much responsibilities but I agree with some of the people from the comments. Just continue to be true to yourself yet don't forget your responsibilities. Eyoooo Happy Birthday!! 🎉🎂✨
Hearing your guys hang out and laugh is awesome I wish i could have that. I'm 16 and I have no friends to celebrate the rest of my childhood and teenhood with. I'm not saying I don't have any friends in a beating myself up depressed type of way, I'm saying in a realistic that's just how it happens to be type of way. I know people over use the term, "I don't have any friends" even when they do they just with they had more, No. I mean truly I have no friends to hang out with or to talk to.
(Belated) Happiest birthday man! ❤️🥰 Never gonna miss any of the parts where you are talking about the sponsor of the video. I honestly love your videos so much! No matter what your video is about, it always just makes life look even more beautiful. ✨ I want your channel to grow even more but I really hope that your videos are always gonna make me feel so privileged and happy as if it's just me who gets to watch your videos.
