There's beauty.

and chaos in solitude.

It's kind of weird how solitude can both be of a great benefit and also kind of be this very destructive thing.

And it's something that when you go through it, I guess depending on if it's willingly or not, You can...

It can do a lot of good for you, but it can also destroy you and not Not everyone necessarily survives it or can handle it.

and For me, I guess it was like sort of this...

coming of age thing.

I mean, I guess in some some weird way I'm still in it.

But it's just like this process that you just kind of go through.

And when you're in it, at least when I was in these very sort of deeper times in my life that like felt Super

or just felt lost.

and you know, like you're in this abyss Obviously you don't You don't know...

where you're going to end up.

And weirdly enough, it's in those moments that you are both Like, it forces you...

to live presently.

It's like you're not in the present moment, but in order to get through those times of solitude You have to literally take it day by day.

because trying to imagine a full life of those feelings or those experiences just living like that feels horrible.

And obviously, at least for me, it didn't turn out that way.

It's not like it's been like that forever, it's not like it's still like that.

I mean, who knows, it could become like that again.

And everything's just, you know, it's like waves.

Just things dissipate, things form.

and you don't really know where it comes from. But... With solitude, it's like...

You have to face yourself.

And crazily enough, that is the hardest thing to do.

facing who you are. And...

It's hard to face who you are when you don't even know who you are.

You know?

So you're put in this position when you're by yourself, and you're just in a room with yourself.

You know, it's like talking to a stranger.

who Apparently it's like it's like a family member.

Oh who you've known of your whole life, or like a neighbor or something, people you've seen forever, We just never talked to them.

So if you try to do it, It would be super awkward.

And like it'd be very unfamiliar. and uncomfortable.

And that's what it's like being in solitude.

you know, being alone.

It's like talking to someone who you've known forever, but just never really bothered to speak to.

And Maybe you've seen that person externally.

you know, doing things.

And that's like your external self, just who you present as who you feel like you are but maybe are not really.

and then you talk to that person,

you talk to yourself, you think And then you start to.. figure it out that That person externally isn't you.

or It's a part of you but it's a facade, it's a mask.

Or it's just...

Just a little bit.

It's just a little bit of it.

and it's hardly the rest of who you are.

and Obviously, figuring out who you are takes your entire life.

You know?

But it's like during those times of solitude, being alone, That is when you figure out the most about yourself. That is when...

in some sense you have to Either...

succumb to your fears be devoured by them, Or face them.

And it's not like...

This single choice It's like a battle, it's a fight.

where You subject to your fears.

or to your insecurities.

And they do...

just sort of They defeat you. But then...

If you keep going, Which...

You have to.

You have to keep going.

then you will get over those humps.

And it's obviously, it's not like a straight line up.

It's not a straight line down.

I mean, for me, it was kind of like this steady decline.

Well, it wasn't a steady decline.

I'd say it was like more of like a...

Kind of like a drop off. But...

Weirdly enough.

As steep as that drop -off seemed, just as steep or even steeper was to climb back up.

And not in the sense that it was...

difficult.

I mean it was difficult, but in the sense that that's how quickly I It felt like it happened.

And even if you look back, maybe you realize that it did take a long time. But it's like...

that mental change that mental switch which does take time, but it's...

that's where everything stems from all the external things from your life It...

will sort of It's slower.

It's slower to be realized.

But that internal change

is what happens the most quickly or can happen the most quickly you know just like that You know, it can just be a decision and it's not easy, you know, when you put it that way, "Oh, it's just a decision." But...

It can be.

And the decision can be made, but it's not fully realized or actualized.

Until much later. But...

Thank you.

The reason why there's there's chaos is is because you're wrestling with yourself.

and It's like that external part of you.

the external part of you that you thought was you.

you are now realizing that it isn't.

or that that part of you, the external part of you, such a tiny bit that you made the whole thing.

You know, it's just like, it's like a cover.

It's just like this big This big painting, or it's like you've seen like how there's like a painting and there's a painting behind the painting.

It's like there's this big painting that you cover your whole self with.

And then You just started to chip at it just a little bit.

It's just this thin layer.

of paint and then you see there's this whole painting behind it

and you have no idea where it came from and you don't understand it.

You know? So it's like that.

It's like finding that part of you that you didn't know existed.

and it can be grey.

100

It can be scary, it can be you know, Just nerve -wracking or...

101

You don't even know how to grasp it or understand it.

102

Thank you.

103

And it's It's forcing yourself to do that.

104

Like sometimes it's You can reject it you know, you can go back to that external part,

105

you can cover up that part of the painting that you accidentally looked into and saw the painting behind it.

106

You can cover that up and you can become that external self again.

107

You can fully try and be that.

108

And, you know, for some people, I guess...

109

that works But...

110

Also, I don't know if those people truly know themselves.

111

And It's a sad thing, but also it's like, hmm, maybe...

112

Maybe for them, they feel better off.

113

I don't know.

114

I don't know if I would...

115

prefer to have stayed the way I was. But...

116

Obviously I'm here now.

117

It's not like I really had a choice.

118

It just happened.

119

Thank you. And...

120

Once you're forced to face who you are, There's...

121

The fight.

122

And there is that like transformation of

123

Everything that you thought you weren't really you didn't care about now it all comes and

124

Now it is all at you at once.

125

And things that maybe weren't a problem before Now they are.

126

Either because you are...

127

sort of, I guess, I had an imbalance.

128

It's like your foundation has been shook.

129

Now that things that like maybe you were

130

at peace with now They're completely like all over the place and you can't you don't feel like you can handle it. And, like, I mean...

131

I had like...

132

There's insecurities that I never had, like my whole life.

133

And then once I got to like this period of solitude during my high school years, like especially during my sophomore year, all of these insecurities came in.

134

And I was like, what?

135

Because it doesn't even make sense.

136

I don't know why I had these insecurities.

137

And I still have them today, but it's like, it's weird.

138

Because all that time before I had none of those insecurities.

139

I didn't even think about them.

140

And now and now I do.

141

And it's just weird how that works.

142

And that's still something I have to...

143

You know, grow from and come to terms with. But...

144

It's...

145

It's like...

146

Finding yourself is also.. kind of It's like it doesn't obviously doesn't solve your problems, but it can bring more problems in a way.

147

and It's, at least for me, What I've gained...

148

at least It's...

149

Trying to have that that like meta perspective.

150

Trying to...

151

you know, wrestle with those feelings, That is, you know, who I am.

152

While also, like, knowing I have to...

153

Remain grounded.

154

Knowing I have to continue to build up a foundation.

155

of, I guess, who I am.

156

And then also...

157

realizing the things that I am unsatisfied with about myself and you know, certain insecurities or whatever it is,

158

They are either things that you know that you have to force yourself to improve on?

159

force yourself to I guess ignore or become at peace with Or it's like...

160

Thank you.

161

Just.. trying to outgrow it And...

162

I think...

163

If more people Oh if more people went through solitude,

164

and I'm not sure if this is like, Um...

165

Like a understatement.

166

Maybe people are always going through solitude, like tons of people, or maybe not.

167

But at least from-- my perspective, just like my environment you know where i've grown up and stuff.

168

It seems to me that a lot of people, they don't face themselves.

169

feed.

170

Kind of...

171

hang out with the same people or the same type of people their whole life.

172

You know, a lot of people, they kind of stay within their...

173

their boundaries of like the clicks or whatever.

174

And when I see that, I think...

175

This person...

176

At least to me, they seem the same as they were...

177

Seven years ago, eight years ago when I first knew of them. And...

178

Of course, they've changed.

179

I'm sure they've changed.

180

I'm sure they've grown in different ways.

181

face different things in their life.

182

But for the most part, There was no...

183

External.

184

Change.

185

And of course, that's me, you know, from the outside looking in.

186

So I can't actually know for sure.

187

You know, that's like, in some way it's like a little bit I don't know if I'd say judgmental, but it's like ignorant.

188

It's just a bit ignorant.

189

But also then again, it's like sometimes when I talk with these people It's like...

190

Still, There's not much change. And I think...

191

It's a mix of just like social structure where obviously you don't reveal everything to everyone.

192

You're not fully open to just everyone. But...

193

At least for me, it's like...

194

I am no way.. near the same as I was in sixth grade.

195

Like in sixth grade, I was like kind of this sporty kid who

196

wanted to be part of the popular group who was also like realizing that that wasn't really the move

197

and also growing still.

198

But also like...

199

kind of still in this in this bubble of being

200

like encapsulated in this sphere of wanting what everyone else around me wanted, without realizing that all that stuff didn't matter at all,

201

And I guess I'm still doing that.

202

I'm still like figuring out Stuff that I thought matter don't matter actually, but...

203

It's like Hmm, some people didn't go through that change yet.

204

or they might never.

205

So then they never really... do change.

206

They never really...

207

Transform in that way.

208

Yeah.

209

And that's not a bad thing, I guess.

210

But to me, it's just interesting to observe.

211

Because, you know, I've...

212

I feel like...

213

Everything's changed for me.

214

And some people I think Maybe nothing's changed.

215

And I mean change is not always a good thing obviously. But...

216

I wonder...

217

more people went through some type of solitude. Would that...

218

make them better.

219

You know?

220

And obviously like it's like an overgeneralization because like everyone, everyone's different.

221

Everyone will deal with things different.

222

You know, people could end up worse.

223

I mean, I certainly ended up worse at many cases at many times.

224

I mean right now I'm doing a lot better. But...

225

It's just a wonder. But...

226

If you are going through solitude, How do you feel?

227

What is it?

228

What is the...

229

sort of feeling as the outlook to the future or the past because for me I

230

I don't know if I thought about the future very much.

231

I thought...

232

I had no future.

233

And All I thought I had was the past. And now I think...

234

I still have the past. But...

235

Really?

236

All that matters is right now And the future is just something...

237

I can.. just be hopeful about.

238

And if I'm not hopeful about it, then...

239

Maybe I just shouldn't think about it.

240

Yeah.

241

So many things.

242

and so many different inputs and outputs that make you who you are.

243

And it's just weird, like, I could have never planned it. And if I knew...

244

how things were gonna go, chances are I probably wouldn't have taken that path.

245

And that would have been a bad thing.

246

At least in the long run. So...

247

Maybe...

248

Maybe you don't want to see too far.

249

Because.. or you don't want to try to predict too closely.

250

Or you don't want to...

251

think that right now is All there is. So...

252

Because then you kind of prevent yourself from The possibilities.

253

of something better. But...

254

I guess it just depends on the situation you're in.

255

Because if you're living great now, then...

256

Don't worry about the future.

257

Okay.

258

I don't know where I'm going with this, but...

259

Yeah, beauty and chaos and solitude.

260

There certainly is.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.

I’ve always been too afraid to tell people how I truly feel

I can’t help but want to be everything at once

I don't know what to say, I'm just tired

Will I ever lock in?

I can't get over the fact that I've wasted my teenage years

I sometimes wish I didn't think so much

At the end of the day it's up to you

I wish I had a best friend for just one day

I hate being performative
