I just dropped out yesterday. The future seems so uncertain, literally anything can happen. But I have faith things will get better and I'll find my way. Ironically I felt more lost in uni than I do now I've quit.

I'm sitting in my college parking lot watching this... I have been going through a time in my life where studying has no appeal to me. Last semester I simply could not bring myself to open a book, or do my assignments, or even come to class. I failed all my classes, of course, and this semester I didn't even enroll. I've been lying to my family about attending school, so much that I built a fake schedule (I leave my house during these times) and have been doing fake assignments (really just diary entries). I feel so lost. I want to be a singer but I can't write music and my voice isn't anything special. I (knowingly immaturely) feel so discouraged seeing successful artists earn their degrees while also being world famous. Even seeing and hearing my peers talk about being stressed about exams makes me feel immense guilt for what I'm doing. My parents sacrificed everything for me to have an education and I'm throwing it all away because I feel so lost. I feel like I don't have a place in this world.

I'm so sorry, that got longer than I intended. But truly, your video made me feel less alone. Thank you for sharing your story <3

I've decided to quit school. It has caused me too much stress. For now, I will learn by myself. Study my own topics on different subjects and lessons. I don't have to worry about due dates and other bullshit crap.

As always, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!! Two dropouts taking over the world? Bet, we got this. 💖

[zamyr]

I feel you, I live in a third world country where having a stable career is what is going to put food on your table, but still want to be an artist and do what I like for a living. Thanks for this video, it inspired me a lot.

I actually just set up my Audio technica along with my whole setup for singing because of you. I downloaded fl studio to make my music dreams possible because of videos like yours. Thanks for everything. I never went to college and believe I can still be what I want to be in life. You can do it!

[ibuprofen-noodles]

having dropped out myself in the past, i recognize a lot of the feelings in this video. your willingness to push on past this strange and unknown chapter is inspiring, just like your video/outlook on insecurities was. you'll get through this, i believe in you!!

GOOD JOB. It takes a lot of courage to abandon others' expectations and accept that the POINT of life is to be HAPPY. Whenever I tell my friends or family that I don't need or want to go to college, they tell me that it's a waste of talent but in reality, it's the opposite. It's me pursuing what I've always wanted and loved, music.

[RMorton]

Yeah I get it, I technically dropped out of college after the first year. I built up absences, started failing classes. My GPA tanked and it cost me. I ended up being told if I returned the next semester (in august) I’d most likely be put on academic suspension. So I decided to leave, returned back to my hometown and started attending community college. While desperately search for work, while struggling in classes again. Nothing truly sucks worse than returning home realizing all your friends from High School have scattered and now I’m basically completely alone.

More power to you, girl. I'm with you. I'm also dropping out, dropping out of what's expected of me by others, and dropping in into what my soul expects out of me.

[ladyah]

I feel the way girl way is wanting to be an artist not taken seriously among the older generation, I'm proud of you go way your passion is and follow your guts 💕

[iankinzel]

That's exactly what it felt like for me when I quit my first job. I felt trapped, stuck, isolated - that cubicle came to feel like a cage that would go out hunting for birds. I was miserable, and I felt like what does it matter making a stable living if this is what living feels like?

[woly]

See you in a couple years starting your own Netflix Original series


Grats on 20k btw! So happy for u 💕🥳

[ishikavijayvergia]

I feel you totally feel you, my family is same, I feel the same way you're feeling right now. I don't know what to say, just want to say what you did truly needed guts, am so proud of you stranger, may you get along and find your way!

[coopaur]

youre such a musical inspiration to meee!! i found u through your spotify and fell in love with your art. im really happy u got the courage to make that big leap :D i want to go into art too, but i still want to get a degree i enjoy to have a back up plan. i cant wait for my future in art, i dont know whats gonna be there but i hope its good

[vearollo]

You captured the same feeling I felt in a short timeframe the moment I decided to stop and rethink my life. I'm currently supporting myself financially and saving up to make my passion with arts (traditional & digital) a career sooner or later. Thank you for sharing this, it means a lot to a fellow dropout 💗😢 not everyone would be understanding and supportive but things like this truly helps.

Love from Philippines xoxo

I want to be a composer but I don't know if I can survive in the long run. I'm also just a beginner now so there's so much to learn and so many challenges to face. Most of the time I just feel demotivated cause I wasn't sure if i can do it. But you have inspired me to keep moving forward. Thank yo so much :D

[michaelhataway]

This was very touching, as I am stuck in a similar predicament. I feel lost and unsure of what the future holds, but “I have to finish school” so that I can feel like my future will lead somewhere.

[Thegaminegyal]

you have no idea how much helpful is this video for me, i completly understand how much it hurts not being enough to our parents who sacrificed so much for us, thank you so much and I'll be here as an og fan, cuz too soon you will become a big artist, you already have all that it needs

sorry for my english, it isn't my first lenguage

[MikeMoor]

Don’t know you but I’m extremely proud of you for doing what a lot of people, including myself never had the guts to do. You won’t regret it, wishing you all the best!
