One thing this channel has taught me is that no one is better at fixing things that are falling apart than this spirited man. Peace and love brother

"It's okay to look at the past, but don't stare. Let go, but don't close the door." ~ Van Neistat
Amen! I need this. What a great quote from a spirited man.

Someone said “one day your life story will become someone else survival guide”.

You have no idea how inspiring you are to me. We’ll find that key. Thanks Van

Hang in there Van. Some of us refresh YouTube all day long hoping to see your vids pop up in our subscriber feed. There's no other channel I do that for. Hope you're well!

This video gives me serious "going through a divorce" vibes. Still, I was able to find it very comforting and relatable. Thank you Van & hoping peace & wellness for you & yours.

Not sure what you're going through, but we are all here with you Van. I'm going through crap too (as most of us are). It's very brave of you to share. Sending good vibes and prayers your way. I teared up as you were at the end of the video. You will get through this. I now have a mission to remember my last good day thanks to this video. Don't let go of the good days so you can make it through the bad ones.

[WLYandell]

hope you're ok. remember, we all go through it, you're not alone in this. Stay strong brother.

[Big_Con]

had a day just like this earlier this week. Stay strong. You aren't alone Van.

"It's ok to look at the past, but don't stare" I've been staring, but recently not so much, recently for once I've been looking to the future, recently the one thing that has been giving me motivation has been my ambition, I just hope it works out. Thanks Van.

"It's ok to look at the past- just don't stare." I will never forget this quote- thank you! You are good medicine for so many!

[laserdummy]

Stay strong Van, what ever you are going through, you will find relief

[brandonrizzuto]

A true artist allows you to feel, exactly what they once felt. Thank you Van. We are here for you.

[bite_ketansharma]

"This too shall pass." Keeps you grounded during the good times and gives you hope during not so good times.

[danielbalintkemeny]

Thank you so much Van for making differential equations manageable

“Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
