Hey, I'm Cole Hastings. I'm a vegan athlete/content creator with a passion for videography/video editing, among other things. I try to help people through sharing my experiences and evolution through life.

my life feels dull and meaningless, my life feels so boring, i hate my life, my life feels empty and meaningless, life sucks, life is so hard, life is so unfair

[AhmetKaan]

You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*

Once school is over your life changes forever.
Since then I'm low key depressed.

For those who are alone, who have nobody in life, and those who don't fit in because they are different: "The one who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. Those who walk alone are likely to find themselves in places no one has ever been before". - Albert Einstein

[TheMagicCrafter]

"He who binds to himself a joy, does the winged life destroy. He who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in eternity's sunrise" - William Blake

I had my heart broken by my best friend recently. I've been in such a dark place. He was the only friend I had, so there's really nobody to turn to for support during this time, other than family. On top of losing two relationships in one, I've had some rather scary medical issues come about that still have not been resolved (despite numerous Dr. Appts). I've been down. Really down.

But, I've been trying to climb out of this dark pit. I'm still not out, but I've recently managed to shift my perspective (on some days) to think in the way you've told us about in this video (prior to watching it). It's been helpful.

Thank you for sharing this story. It serves as a great reminder to live life for the sake of living it- not merely chasing a desired outcome. Thank you for this 🖤

This is exactly what I needed today. Keep doing what you're doing.

Dude I will be straight up with you. I was starting to become disappointed because I felt you were running out of ideas in the channel, as if my opinions matter. I would make my mind up before I even watched the videos. But this one. THIS video is, in my opinion, one of your best videos to date. I think it will resonate with a huge amount of people, especially in their teens and early twenties. Thank you, keep doing what you’re doing

I literally cried in class yesterday. Of course no one noticed cause I hide it that easily, but yesterday was such a hard day for me. By science I was literally exhausted…and I couldn’t deal with it anymore.

My days feel like a repeated heck over and over again. Idk what to do anymore.

Life is so boring that i can actually predict what people will say

[Kevin-twuw]

Damn Cole I quit my job yesterday because of the stress and dullness my life had taken on sat here alone depressed worried and watching this vide gave me a sense of relief because I know this is just a part of a full story being written and this is what it really means to experience life.

[OmnicollectiveCreativity]

So the moral is: To understand life, understand the full expression of every known human emotion without judgement or shame of its existence.

[biancabrassard-peck]

this made me cry. For the past few months, I have felt so stuck on my life. I felt like life was so boring and everyday felt like the same. This video truly reminded me that all these emotions and experiences was what it means to be alive. Thank you

[limario]

this video was absolutely amazing. i'm crying near the end - but im happy. this is what it means to be alive. drowning in the depths, then letting out emotions, and finally being offered a helping hand. then you're back up again, smiling.

[lordkent]

Your grandfather is an inspiration for all young men out there, lost, average, and down on their luck in life. So relatable and wise. All in all, we just gotta power through struggles and keep on making the best of life for ourselves.

[Dylan-vejb]

I don't usually comment on videos, but I have to say, this video really struck a chord with my soul. For a lot of my life, I've tried to avoid pain, discomfort, failure, all of the things that we often deem negative. I didn't always know it but at times I'd carry this hopeless energy around with myself because of the negative things that we as humans go through in life. But with bad times there are also good times. It is important to acknowledge and embrace both, because there is beauty in both. There will be days filled with laughter, smiles, and success, but there will also be days filled with sadness and anxiety, days where we fail and we struggle. But courageous and brave is what we become when we move forward despite our failures and fears. That is what it means to experience life. Great work Cole.

When a video makes you cry, you know it did a good job. Evoking emotion is the best way to get a message across and to make sure it sticks!

[dboysniper]

Really needed this video, felt like I’ve hit the most rock bottom moments of my life the past few months, but I always feel like it’s my first time actually living. Breaking out of my comfort zone, losing everything has made me realize how important life is

[joshebreo]

This is arguably the greatest video you made! The narrative itself would win an award for how good it is

[TheDhammaHub]

The human mind adapts to everything when we don't actively work against it... a bit of meditation each day can bring back a lot of the "color" to life

[fittlea]

Its amazing to see how much your editing and storytelling skills improve throughout these past few months.

[brrrahhh]

I was at one of the lowest points I’ve ever been, doubting myself, feeling down, and much more today. This video helped me get back up man I needed this thank you
