Transcripts
it was 3:00 a.m. on a school night and
the new fortnite season had just
released this is what I thought was the
good old days it was me one of my best
friends Jake Bryce all the boys and we
were playing on tilted Towers they had
just released this new feature called
The Playground feature where you could
fight your friends online now if you've
never played fortnite you probably have
no idea what I'm talking about but this
game reminiscent of the game Minecraft
this is Nostalgia this is the feeling of
Happiness this is the quote unquote good
old days this is the the time that I
always think back to in my life because
now that I'm 19 I feel like I've grown
up so fast and I'm doing a full-time
career and making content and it almost
feels like you want to go back and I'm
sure a lot of you guys can relate to
that too now I'm going to continue
talking about the present day later in
this video but for now I'm going to go
back to that moment it was about 5:00
a.m. now my eyes were burning because of
how glued they were to my screen me and
the boys laughing having a great time
screaming at each other getting mad um I
remember my parents walking in the room
telling me to quiet down multiple times
that night and I'm pretty sure we had
school the next day but that's the thing
school the next day was the biggest
worry that you could have ever had at
that age at least for me the only
question is how long can I stay on this
game versus how tired am I going to be
when I wake up the next morning but to
be honest with you even though that was
my biggest worry that wasn't even a big
worry to me at all I really only cared
about having fun in the moment I
specifically remember after playing all
night taking a look over my shoulder and
seeing the sun peeking Over the Horizon
I had stayed up the entire night and I
decided this might be the first time I
try to pull an all nighter mind you I'm
in middle school I'm a little kid I'm
not prepared for this whatsoever I was
definitely not prepared to do this but I
was going to try nevertheless so me and
all the boys are dozing off at school
the next day to say the least but it was
all worth it because those memories are
the ones that you would never forget and
what's funny about it is the next night
we did the same thing and the next night
and the night after that and the night
following that we literally did not care
about anything else like if you've ever
heard the saying not a worry in the
world that was my mindset at the time so
after those sleepless nights on video
games let's fast forward to a little bit
more recent of a time early High School
this is for me a lot of you guys
watching this are going to be at this
point right now I was having sleepovers
all the time like literally almost like
once or twice go over to my friend's
house and we would all just mess with
each other do crazy things play pranks
play tag in the middle of the night keep
the neighbors up annoy the parents like
the whole nine but at night when we
would all settle down right before going
to sleep we would always talk about
those Past Times on the game playing
fortnite and doing these fun things in
the past just kind of how I feel right
now but I'll talk about that later so as
I was saying we're having these
sleepovers literally having the time of
our life like I don't I don't know if
there was a more fun time in my life yet
like I said when we're sitting down and
there's nothing else to do or talk about
all we can think about or conversate
about was those Pas times on fortnite
now let's fast forward a little bit
further to like the middle of high
school when we would be playing sports
my friends used to play football
basketball all these things and we'd be
going to like some restaurant to eat
during lunchtime and just having fun and
talking and every time that we would sit
down to talk we would talk about those
nights that we would have sleepovers or
those times that we would play fortnite
I Remember specifically and this is one
of the best memories I've ever had I
used to go to this basketball court with
my friends it was this outdoor Court it
was amazing it was like free to use so
we didn't have to pay anything no
worries at we would be playing in the
summer heat literally dying dripping in
sweat every single last one of us I
don't even sweat that easily and I was
drenched every single time then right
after we play basketball me and my
friends would have to bike up this hill
to get to this pool that my friend had
in his neighborhood so drenched in sweat
legs completely exhausted and shaking
from playing basketball we would go bike
up this hill and sit when we were in the
pool we would think about these old
times we would talk about fortnite we
would talk about the sleepovers we would
talk about going out to eat but we would
never talk about what we're actually
doing of course we weren't because we
were literally living that in the moment
so now if we fast forward a little bit
to L high school we weren't playing
games we weren't going outside we
weren't eating together or having
sleepovers we were kind of just all
minding our own business even though we
had easy access to each other we were
all kind of in our own worlds there was
no friend group at the time at least
that's not how it felt even though there
was that Core group of friends that
we've always had it wasn't the same
because we never really hung out as much
now of course we're growing up we're not
going to be playing video games all the
time time or I guess playing outside
that's just not a thing that we do
something we would do is at least we
would go out to eat together like pretty
frequently we'd go out to eat and we
would talk have a great time just
talking you know everything is amazing
like we're just being teenagers but the
one common thing that would happen every
time we talk is now we would be talking
about fortnite we'd be talking about
going outside we'd be talking about
going out to eat we'd be talking about
all of these things from the past like
all of these great times and it felt it
felt amazing but in a way it was almost
Bittersweet and we would always use the
term good old days remember the good old
days like and we we would say it as a
joke because like the good old days it's
corny whatever this is a real thing that
we were thinking it was like wow those
times were so amazing why does it feel
almost kind of dull right now why does
it feel like we're not actually doing
anything anymore it just feels like
we're here nothing's actually happen
with all this being said whenever we go
out to eat in recent times it's it's
amazing everything is great about it but
something about the excitement that we
used to EXP experience was gone the
spark I guess the spark of being a kid
now we can fast forward a little bit
more and this is getting very close to
present time we're almost there and when
we get there there's going to be a
really deep message that I have to
spread to you guys but for now look it's
towards the end of high school I'm sure
a lot of you guys aren't even there yet
watching this right now but for those of
you some of you are some of you might
even be a little bit past it but now in
late High School we're sitting there and
everything starts to feel really dull
everything nothing is as fun as as it
used to be whenever we hang out we're
just scrolling on our phones when we do
hang out because we actually don't
really anymore and everything is just
different we're thinking about what
we're going to do with our lives we're
thinking about how we're going to make
money we're thinking about just random
things you know nothing like it used to
be the idea of not having a worry in the
world is just non-existent anymore we
have the most worries in the world the
highest levels of stress we've ever had
we're thinking about the test the next
day we're thinking about SAT scores SOS
all this other stuff not going to
college trade you know the whole deal
now even though we hang out very little
like not frequent whatsoever every
single time that we do hang out all we
do is talk about the past we're at the
point now where we're not even talking
or living in the moment it is just
solely talking about things that we did
and Reminiscing on those experiences and
I guess living in the Nostalgia of that
and what's crazy about it is we're still
young we're all teenagers at this point
yet we feel like all the spark and all
the energy and all the good times have
literally just ran out they flooded out
they're gone they're a thing of the past
yet there's one thing that I can bet
right now even though we barely hang out
even though we don't play fortnite go
outside play outside go to eat as much
any of that when we go and we sit down
at a restaurant just you know meeting up
with the boys again for a little get
together we'll be talking about the past
and let's say 10 years from now if we
meet up and we sit down and talk like we
usually do we'll probably be Reminiscing
on those times that we're sitting at the
restaurant doing absolutely nothing
except for talking about the past that's
all we're going to talk about there's
not much else to talk about at that
point so now let's fast forward very
close to present day we're on the tip of
the iceberg except it's a little bit
before that because we're about to
graduate see me and all of my friends
graduated high school recently standing
there capping gown everyone's calling
our name on the stage and this is a
moment in our lives that we never
thought would actually get there until
it
did and it was a surreal moment it's
giving me goosebumps talking about it
right now now because of how fast time
went we're walking across the stage
they're calling all of our names all of
the people that you never talked to in
your life but you always saw because
they went to your school they're all
there everyone's parents everyone
they're all there it feels like we've
all been waiting for this moment our
entire lives it's like the most great
thing like who wants to be in high
school middle school elementary school
any of this but for some reason there's
somewhat of a bitterness it's like a
Bittersweet feeling you know like it's
amazing we're we're finally moving on
from the past but something about it is
just heavy hitting it's
like we really got to the place that we
have been anticipating this whole time
and it it doesn't feel bad like
necessarily I don't think it's that sad
but it's not what we thought it would be
it's just another day and then we wake
up the next day and it's just also
another day now we're leading up to one
of the most amazing moments this is
called Beach week I don't know if any of
you guys have it if you live on the
coast you probably do but me and all my
friends pretty much every single grade
would go to the beach for the final week
that we're going to be together so all
of us we all go to the beach together
and it was probably one of the best
memories I've ever had and that sounds
like an overstatement but I I I really
don't think it was because we finally
got to experience that carelessness
again there was no school it was just
summertime we were with all our friends
all the people that we disliked all the
people that we did like we're all there
together and it just felt like one big
Unison we were all together in one
experiencing the same thing at the same
time and we were living in the moment
once again and that's something we have
not experienced in a long time so we're
outside we're at the beach we're playing
spike ball if you know what that is
we're playing football we're messing
with our friends we're having late
nights again we're doing all the things
that we used to do when we we were kids
and then in an instant it
ended we all go back home and goes back
to being a regular day a regular time
you know the regular now there is no
reunion there is no seeing these people
again it's pretty much over for good
it's completely over and it was all in
the blink of an eye it felt like it went
so fast so fast it just felt like there
was
nothing I it it doesn't even feel real
now even right now currently it does not
feel real so now we can fast forward
we're finally here the moment you guys
have all been waiting for we're in the
present day this is where you are right
now whether you're still in high school
whether you're in Middle School whether
you're in elementary school highly doubt
anyone in elementary school is watching
this but maybe you are I don't know so
now when me and my friends go out to eat
like we used to on very rare occasions
they're back from college right now so
we do it occasionally we talk about
Beach
week that moment that we all shared
together that was
amazing and we were all living in and
all we can talk about is the good old
days that's all we can talk about that's
all there is to talk about there's
nothing else but now we're here you're
here watching this right
now and you might you might not be with
anyone at all so what are you thinking
about
are you actually living in the moment
take a second put your phone down if you
have to look around look at the room
that you're in good bad ugly it
literally does not matter you're here
right now like breathe like take a deep
breath in you are here with me right now
for the main point that I'm getting at
here is that you you are in the good old
days right now you are currently there
whenever you're with your friends
whenever you're having those boring
moments whenever you're about to take
that test that you really don't want to
take or everything's really boring and
nothing is going on these are the good
old days we're still teenagers and when
we grow up and let's say we're 30 we're
going to be looking back in our 20s and
being like Oh those were the good old
days we're going to grow up to 60 look
back at 30 and be like oh those were the
good old days see you are always in the
good old days you will you will never
not be in the good old days that's the
part that people don't understand life
moves a lot quicker than you would think
the only way to slow it down is by being
in the moment and being present take a a
look around do this occasionally just
understand you are here right now so be
here don't be in the past don't be in
the future be here now with your friends
with your family or even if you're alone
because if you are not it'll pass you up
in the blink of an eye and all it's
going to be is a memory that you talk
about with your friends
