everything is going to be okay.

I spent last year running from a lot of my own issues.

My greatest fault was that I lacked focus.
And I tried to blame it all on things other than myself.
2021 was one of the hardest years of my life

Before last year i had never once questioned why i do what i do and if it matters to the world
But i’d wake up and for the first time in a long time
I wouldn’t want to push my creativity.

That seemingly unlimited supply of drive that had gotten me to this point in my life had disappeared.

But it’s in those times where you fail to see your own progress
And you feel stuck for months on end
That you learn the most about yourself.

Life has a humorous way of dangling what we want in front of our faces
And using it to teach us that we’re looking in the wrong direction

every bad situation whether i walked into it, or it chose me - was delivered to help me get to where i need to be.
it’ll never be easy

But i’ll always remind myself that everything is going to be okay.
Because through everything I find peace in the fact that I made someone feel something this past year.
And that’s the point of all art right.
To make you feel something.
To make you cry
To make you smile
To make you motivated
To make you want to chase your own dreams
And not feel as alone.
Because we’re all alone in a sense
And all lonely from time to time.

I spent 365 days trying to escape the pressures that my own mind created.
But there is no pressure.
There’s no timeline to creativity.

My goal here is to make someone out there now, or years from now feel something
So in reality, nothing else should matter.

So I’ll tell myself that I have time
And that it’s okay to be a little lost.
Because When you feel like you have no time left, you probably are just at the beginning of everything.
And everything will be okay.

One of the most underrated channels I have found and i’m glad I did, thank you for the reminder that “everything will be okay” :)

Everything will be okay. The phrase I wanted to hear now.

"I spent 365 days trying to escape the pressures that my own mind created. But there is no pressure."

This line really resonated with me. I'm currently clicking through all the channels of the Montana content house and it's incredible to see such vulnerability online. It's nice to know that there are great people out there even though I'll likely only ever meet a tiny fraction of them.

"Because when you feel like you have no time left, you're probably just at the beginning of everything."

These words really comforted me so much, thanks man! :(( <33

This is literally what I needed. I'm at a point in life where I don't have control over a lot of things and it's frustrating. Nothing seems to make me happy, except this. Thank you so much for this Simon. Ly. ❤️

[fogman]

You have no idea how much I needed this. I've been struggling with OCD and my thoughts have just disturbed me and I constantly tell myself that my thoughts aren't me. This made me cry. I always worry for my family and my future.

2021 was a horrible year for me to. Thank you for reminding me that I am not at the end I am at the beginning. These years will pass for me. I am still struggling now a bit but your channel helped me this year acctually realise that I am not alone and that there are people across the world who go through similar or even worse things than I am going through. I love you Simon and I don't know if you get that heard a lot but you are a beautiful human being who cares for everyone and everything. Well done because you have impacted my life for the better and I will never forget you. Your video titled "Watch this when you are sad", I wrote it all down on my phone so when I am in a state in my life and I can't go anywhere or run from anything I can quickly get to it and somehow. You made it better. YOU Simon. Thank you 💕

[shae.lynnp]

[taniatalvarez]

Reasons why I’m gonna be okay
- I know and will experience the same happiness and comfort again
- I’ll go back to school and adapt to my surroundings and be comfy with my new routine
- I’m just experiencing something that I am positive will go away about next week
- My family and my friends are there for me
- I’m going back to my old life I have loved for so long, sadness is just preventing me from realizing it
- God is with me with every step of the way
- Even if it takes long, I will recover one day
- I’m an amazing little goober who needs to know that a happy life isn’t truly a happy life without sadness and it’s okay to cry

even for me 2021 was the toughest year of my life but as you said "everything is going to be ok" was the only thing that kept me going

[Maha-bfts]

this really calmed me down, thank you soo much i just felt soo much pressure on me and felt like the world was constantly pushing me back, i js couldn't shake of this negative feeling that i cant do it but again the pressure to js think about things from a positive view was weighing on me soo much but now i realize its okay to feel the way you feel, you dont have to shape it into society's standards instead feel what you feel and then learn from it and get up again. thank uh soo muchh!!

[bridgetducey]

I was just at my lowest and ur videos made me feel so much better. Please keep making them, you have no idea how much i appreciate them.

[sugarandspice]

this channel is meaning so much more to me than I can express

[awe-mazingart]

I just signed up for a seemingly impossible task and my anxiety is at it's peak. I don't know if I can do this. I don't want to fail. But your video reminded me that failure is no stranger to me. I'm still here even after a series of body and mind crushing failures, trying one more time. So, even if I fail, I think I will still be okay. Everything will be okay. I hope it will :)

[Pluto-cqmy]

[the_bright_light]
