 All I have is this feeling that it is time for me to try something new in my life. This may seem so sudden to most of you probably, but it is something that I knew for a long time, especially this year. I struggled with finding a reason to keep going. Pewdiepie's fiance, Marzia, just announced that she's leaving YouTube and it seems like she might be going through a little bit of an existential crisis, but that might actually be a good thing. Up everybody, this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health. So what I like to do is take different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So to get this video started, a shout out to my buddy, Roberto Blake from the YouTube channel, Roberto Blake. If you're interested in just being like an entrepreneur or starting a YouTube channel or you're into creating stuff, go check his channel out. Great dude. But anyways, yeah, he messaged me this morning. He's like, yo, Marzia's leaving YouTube. You should check this video out. I'm like, okay. And like, I love it. I love it so much because like, now that people are trying to see me hit my like stride and my groove and like, what's working? Like so many people are like recommending stuff and it's awesome. It's awesome. So now that the Shane Dawson stuff is over, I'm like, okay, I'm going to pull the e-brake. I'm going to dial it back. I'm going to do like one video a day now and just kind of do my thing. But like my brain just does not let me do that. And I have three video ideas and like, I don't know. I think that could be really helpful. So I don't know. Something I've been talking about a lot lately with my girlfriend is just balance with all things. And yeah, like, I don't know. Even for me, it's sometimes difficult to find that balance, but I love putting out content. I love seeing how you all receive it. I love like lately, the last couple of days, like man, you guys have just warmed my heart, like tagging me on like Instagram or Twitter or leaving comments and just like, I was telling Tristan this this morning, like, nothing makes me happier when you take what I say and you actually do something with it. Like that is just the most fulfilling thing on earth. Like I can't even explain it. Like there's so many reasons why I start out every video with we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution, because I don't want you to just sit here and watch my channel and be like, oh, well, yeah, Chris made some good points. I want you to be like, yo, Chris made some good points. Now I'm going to get off my butt and go try some of this stuff. So anyways, I'm going to be making three videos deal with it. So yeah, let's talk about Marcia. So I don't watch Marcia. I don't watch PewDiePie as much anymore. But anyways, for those of you who don't know who Marcia is, Marcia is PewDiePie's fiance. PewDiePie is currently the largest creator on YouTube, but I think he's about to get passed up by a T-Series maybe. Anyways, Marcia just made a video about leaving YouTube and there's two main topics. There's two main topics that I want to discuss, because there might be some things that you can relate to with this. One of them is living in someone else's shadow and the other one is having an existential crisis. So Marcia is in her mid-20s and I was actually just talking to a buddy over on Twitter because he and I were talking about having an existential crisis and I was like, wait, how old are you? Because I don't know. I'm like, personally, we just talked through Twitter DMs. I'm like, how old are you? And he's like, he tells me. He's like, it is early 20s. I'm like, huh. So I think, especially because I have a pretty big audience who varies between like 18 years old and like 30 something, like early 30s. I think it's important to talk about these existential crises because I think this is my audience is a big age group where this happens. All right. So the first thing that I want to address is Marcia kind of talked about how she had a lot of mental health struggles. She moved in with Felix and she didn't really know what to do. She left her family. She left her friends, all these things and she was kind of isolating and alone. And that's when she decided to like start a YouTube channel and have what she calls her own little corner of the internet. Right? I had a lot of free times that I didn't really know how to spend because my friends were away. I ended up in front of the computer a lot. And for the first time, I started realizing how much there was on YouTube. And actually I'm going to draw some neuroscience on you real quick too. Something that she talks about a few times throughout this video is just making connections with other people. And she kind of realized that you can't just only do that online. And there's some neuroscience behind this. Like I made a video a long time ago, but I'll just reiterate, like our brains are designed to be connected to other people. Like one of my favorite subscribers psychedelic feline was like, Hey Chris, can you do a video on evolutionary psychology? Well, I'm just going to sprinkle some evolutionary psychology on you right now. So basically back in the day, like our brain had to evolve in a way where we would get feelings of anxiety or depression if we were separated from the tribe. So that let us know like, yo, you're in danger. Like if something happens to you, you're in trouble. Right? So our brain had to evolve in a way that gave us signals to return to the tribe. This is why isolation is terrible, terrible for depression and anxiety. Your body is saying, yo, go be connected to other people, get back to the tribe, get back to society. And that's one of the main reasons why so many people struggle with depression and anxiety today. In this technological age that we live in, more and more people are further and further apart. So I hope that makes sense. So Marzia kind of found, you know, her happiness by going out, connecting with people, traveling and all of that. But the issue was, is that she's in PewDiePie's shadow. That it's about me needing to find my path. Because for a long time I felt like I was following someone else's. And I think it's about time that I give myself a chance with something else. And this is something that some of you might be struggling with. Like I don't think you're in PewDiePie's shadow, but I see this especially with teenagers as well as people in their early 20s, right? Like we all have our own life to live, but we're trying to live in a way that other people think we should live. Like you know how I keep talking about like quick caring so much about what other people think? Like so many of us, like, you know, we get good grades in school for our parents, right? We go to a certain college for our parents. We do these things for our parents or do impressed people. We're not doing what we want to do, right? So next thing you know, you're miserable in your 30s or 40s because you became a doctor even though you didn't want to become a doctor. It's just your family pressured you into doing it. So like when I went and spoke at that high school like a month or so ago, like I told people like you got to find your path. Like college is great and stuff, but you got to find what makes you happy, what you want to do. Does that make sense? So if any of you are like in that right now, like you really need to step back and like think about that and assess it. And some of you haven't changed your path yet because you're worried about what your parents will say or what your family is going to say, right? Like who cares if your aunt Gretchen is talking down to you because you decided to pursue your your passion for artwork and she thinks that you should be, I don't know, like some, I don't know a lawyer or something like that. You know what I mean? Like something that I try to do when people are like judging me and stuff, I look at them. I'm like, is this person happy with their life? And usually they're not. And if they're not happy with their life, why am I going to value their opinion more than mine? Like I'm going to figure out what makes me happy because if I do what they want, I'm probably going to be as miserable as they are. Does that make sense? But anyways, so Marzia kind of had this realization that this isn't the path that she wants to be on. And it seems, it seems like she was a little lost and a lot of us get like this, right? That's what this existential crisis is. We don't know what we're going to do. I made a video about this a long time ago about the existential crisis. Like when people struggle with this, because I know I used to, like today, I kind of just kind of giggle about it, right? Because an existential crisis is what's our meaning? What's our purpose? Why am I here? What am I doing? Right? And for me, what I'm doing, I have purpose every single day because my one and only goal is to just help other people, right? Is to teach other people and give them hope and strength and all these other things. Like that's my purpose in life. I found my purpose. So every day I wake up with a purpose. So my best suggestion for you to get out of your existential crisis is to really check with your value system. Like what do you want? Right? What is your overall goal with life? Okay, cool. Now what do we do to achieve that? Now with Marcia's video, she didn't really tell us what that was. She didn't really tell us what she was doing, but hopefully it's something that makes her happy. And it's got to be scary. It must be scary for her to do this, but it's also, you know, amazing that she is. So the last thing I'll talk about in this video, which is not even a knock at Marcia, but I have a lot of new subscribers and I want you to get to know me a little bit better. But I don't see myself ever leaving you entirely. Okay? And here's why. When we put our content as creators, okay, I'll speak about me because this is not a knock at Marcia. When we put our content as creators, in some way, shape or form, we are helping people, right? Maybe we're providing somebody with escapism or it's a channel like mine where we're trying to, you know, provide tools to improve their mental health, but we're doing something for others and we gain this following. And for me, for me personally, just because of the way I work on my mental health, for me to just leave all of you would be very selfish. Now don't get me wrong. Like I think in Marcia's instance, she has to be selfish, right? She has to be. But since I'm all about taking your experience and sharing it with others, I don't think, I don't, I think it would be better if Marcia didn't stop her YouTube channel. She just pivoted and like documented what she's doing. And I think she'll probably still do it on like Instagram or Twitter or whatever it is. But I think what she's doing is so powerful. That's why I make these videos about other YouTubers because what they're doing like Garrett Watts, it's so powerful that you need to see what you can learn from it. So like Marcia being a young woman and switching her path as scary as that might be, she's doing it to find this happiness. And I think since she's amassed such a following, she could really inspire other people to do something and switch their path as well. So my hope would be is that she documented in some way, shape or form. But for me personally, because of my purpose, because of how I got out of my existential crisis, Chris ain't going nowhere. Like you might leave me, but I ain't leaving you. But anyways, that's what I wanted to talk about with this video. So I want to hear from you down in the comments below. Like what, what is your meaning? What is your purpose? Are you in an existential crisis? Like let's have a conversation down below. Like let's inspire one another. Maybe like what your purpose is is what somebody else's is. Like I know some of you might be able to relate to me. Maybe your purpose is helping other people or teaching other people, whatever it is. Like let's have a conversation below and like offer each other suggestions and advice and all that kind of stuff. All right. But anyways, that's all I got for you with this video.
