- description: So here's basically everything that happened to me aged 23. Main channel - http://youtube.com/sammy Twitter - http://twitter.com/ICOEPR I've included captions, but here's a full transcript: A lot can happen in the space of a year. With the madness of everything we do it's easy to be so focused on the next endeavour, on the next project, that we lose sight of the bigger picture. I know I'm still young but there are so many stories and ideas that I haven't been able to share yet. And honestly, that eats me up inside. It keeps me awake at night. And sure, in many ways, that could be seen as a good thing. Something that drives me forward. Pushes me towards growth and improvement (IMPROVEMENT). But I feel like often we're guilty of being so focused on what's coming next that we forget to take stock. To step back, give ourselves a breather and say: "you know what, you're doing ok". And of course I never want to get cocky, or comfortable or overly nostalgic. I understand the importance of looking forward. Of never wanting to take your foot off the accelerator. But at the same time, I know that this stage of my life won't last forever. And the time will come when I think back to these days fondly. Hell, there was a point in my life when I fantasized about being where I am today. And now that I'm here, all I can think about is where I want to go next. And if I ever make it there, I'll no doubt be wondering where to go after that. I understand the value of that continual momentum. It's something I never want to lose. But at the same time, fuck all the overly romanticised tortured artist bullshit. That mentality is more pathetic than it is poetic. And look, I know it's a cliche but sometimes we allow ourselves to get so bogged down with what 'could be' that we forget to take in what 'is be'... that came out weird. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to do here is remind myself both then and now that life is pretty sweet. And if you don't take that in every now and again it's going to have all been for nothing. After all, a lot can happen in the space of a year.
