    2023 and a bitter, exhausted, former Navy SEAL somehow was able to channel you— and used the old man / pawn shop metaphor to help his 5 year old son, when he was having a rough day.

    Just came here to say thanks, Ze. These vids still mean a lot.

    I understand that this video is super old. But the way I try to look at it is… if I'm on a hike, I hike up to a peak, and from that peak, I see a taller peak, but the only way to get to it is by climbing down through a valley, there's no path across a ridgeline and while I feel that I've lost so much, i know it will be better when i get to the next peak, even if in that moment i feel so small and defeated, i feel like a little version of myself and i'm not living up to my potential. But, deep down, i know that I will be a bigger and better me when I reach that next peak, even if that peak isn't visible from the valley.

    A Show has gotten me through so much. I'm so glad Ze has moved on to bigger and better things, but nearly ten years on these little two minute videos of someone unblinkingly talking into a camera still keep me going when I need a little extra push.

    I wish I had even ten percent of your creativity, talent, wit, and wisdom. These videos still speak with the same, or sometimes even more veracity, relatability, humor, and insight than they did when they were first posted; in this case, about eight years ago. You're literally more relevant to the world today speaking from nearly a decade ago than I am today, despite not having been able to experience the intervening time between then and now…and it isn't as though the world hasn't experienced major changes in that amount of time.

    I'd ask you if you had any thoughts on what I could do to be more like those qualities that I perceive in you, but I doubt that those qualities can be instilled in someone like me with just a few poignant words instead of the combined wisdom of people that we look up to mixed with just the right set of experiences, genetic characteristics, and the time to process it all…and I wouldn't want you to be disappointed or sad that you weren't able to help, even if the request was like being asked to choreograph a stunning dance recital for your invisible friend, who would then perform in front of an audience who would then rate your ability and success as a person based on your invisible friend's performance.

    Truthfully, I can't understand why you would ever be disappointed in yourself. You've managed to make a noticeable and overwhelmingly positive impact on this planet in the incredibly short time that you've been here…we should all be so lucky. Yes, I understand that there is undoubtedly a lot of stress and frustration in your life that I know nothing about, which may cause you to disregard my casual envy of your perspective and eloquence as coming from a position of ignorance, I still feel like the world is a markedly better place for you having been here, which isn't something that many can say and mean it without conveniently forgetting a lot of what they've done that is inconsistent with such a narrative.

    In sum, please know that I appreciate all of the you which you have allowed the world to experience. Thank you for being everything that you are, and everything that you aren't.

    You are, for what its worth, one of my biggest heroes.

    Sorry for rambling on. I can be a bit verbose, and I struggle to tie up a thought like this with a neat little bow at the end. I'll keep working on it, though.

    This video (and the Just Breathe song) have gotten me through so many "just fucked" days. Thank you for putting this out into the world. I hope you know how appreciated you are.

    This is one of my absolute favorite episodes from this series. I come back to it frequently to remember to tell those supposedtobes to kick rocks and head up the street to the shop where things dont exist go.
    Thank you so much Ze

    "Supposedtobes." I've seen them before. They're evil, creatures that lurk in the shadows of my mind. They pounce without warning and will totally consume you if they get the chance. More frightening than a Twilight Zone episode. More evil than anything that any church can conjure. I have the ability to prevail over them, if I only can muster the energy.

    Idc that this was what, 7 years ago (wow! Where'd those years GO?) Idc! Someone, sometime will stumble upon this video as I have and it will STILL be great! It'll STILL be awesome, and above all, it'll STILL be inspiring! I imagine Ze is busy busy busy these days, and he may chuckle when we all say how spectacular and refreshing his take on things are. He may think we're all insane when we vocalize how truly moved we are by a YouTube video with him just being himself in it. Bottom line, this guy is timeless. And I truly hope he knows it, and continues to contribute to our crazy world.
    P.s, I hope whomever reads this has also enjoyed it as much as I have.

    You know sometimes. You just have to be able to be melancholy. Some days are melancholy days. I think that's why melancholy is not a word we dislike. Because it's an okay word? Just an idea.
