how beautiful! this just makes sense. i’ve always been so touched and moved by your videos, but also by the way you articulate, write your stories. excited for what’s to come, and what a joy was it to read this. on that note, i resonate with you on your passion for writing. i had my first journal when i was 9, and although, i wrote very rubbish things at first, when i was writing, it genuinely felt like a meditation, almost like time stopped. it sort of gave me this feeling of escapism!

Your post reminded me when I came back from an exchange year in the US and started using Facebook as a place to write my thoughts and feelings. It wasn't the most popular online place in Brazil, but I enjoyed it so much. Than all of a sudden, FB wasn't it anymore and it appeared so many different social midia apps, it became a "quick like" place. I've always enjoyed your video and how you seem to be in a conversation with us, a slow, meaningful conversation. I could "hear your voice" while reading here. So good, to slow down and just be mindfull while reading. Looking forwarding to following your devanours here.

Happy to be here to read this. And inspired too.

I’m starting to question whether our souls are receiving the same messages from wherever souls receive their information from. The kind of information that they convert into creative urges for us to act upon, if we’re brave enough to listen.

I too, are being drawn to retract from the city, and building/renovating something of my own, surrounded my stillness & nature. I too, have realised that I am a person who enjoys writing, and will very likely write a book one day.

Regardless, it’s a pleasure to follow your journey as I continue on mine. If you ever find yourself needing an extra hand on yours, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for sharing Nathaniel. Life is moving and not waiting for us to be 'ready'. How you spend your day is how you spend your life. Trying to live by this thought. Lovely to read about your journey. A great reminder to reflect, thank you!

Hey Nathan, Glad to see you've come to Substack! I've felt this platform suited your style well for a while--it's fun to see you finally make the transition! I think one thing you'll notice is how much more intimate the comments feel compared to YouTube, it's certainly a welcome change for me. Perhaps you've already seen that. Either way, I'm glad to see you here and I hope this leg of your journey unfolds well for you.

Plus, the survey you linked--the link doesn't work, not sure if you were already aware of that. Looking forward to seeing what else you create.

Thank you Andrew! Yeah, I'm figuring out surveys still. Gonna need a bit of time to work out the kinks on here, but we'll get there.

Woah! I have been a long time subscriber to your youtube channel and its been so interesting to watch you grow through the different chapters of your life, especially this era (if I may call it) where the videos are particularly unique and so much more insightful.

It is a pleasant surprise to see you here on Substack! Looking forward to read more of your writing!

This is exciting to read. You are a great writer so I’m glad to hear you’re devoting more time to it! I appreciate the reminder to prepare for the year ahead now. There’s something about the shorter, colder days that makes planning for the future an ideal activity during this time.
