Love this

The only habit that I want is sleeping

So real and beautiful 💗 thank you

30:18 I have this too! I acquired this belief from an abusive childhood and it makes conversations so awkward and uncomfortable because I don't have the confidence to even stand behind my own words if that makes sense. I even rush through telling my own stories because I don't think they're very interesting anyway. And then people pick up on that, and they'll just dominate the conversation because they know I dont bring much to the table. There really is something to people who are intensely interested in a subject: they make me interested by their passion and enthusiasm. And conversely, people are turned off by people without passion. Thank you for sharing your passion in your confidence! You appeared so calm and collected in this video even when the lighting wasn't working for you. Thank you for not editing those parts out! You demonstrated that little inconveniences aren't the end of the world, and they're not something to freak out about. I found that very endearing!

Thank you for being as open and honest as you were. This was so well spoken.

Thank you inayah.

This helped tremendously, thank you! 🎉❤

i did listen all the way to the end and i adored the video. thanks for putting it out

About 24:40 I started crying, it was beautiful. I can felt the whole poem because It brings me old memories back. Thank you Inayah!

learning to hold myself accountable for my own toxic behaviors while not blaming myself after my toxic relationship ended has been so hard. I found myself belittling myself just like him and blaming myself for everything. Realizing that my behaviors were a reaction to his abuse has shown me to be kinder on myself and really showed me what she talked about in the video of who you surround yourself with is who you become. In that relationship I became controlling, jelous and bitter just like him. It has shown me what I look for in the people i surround myself with now. Those reactions are only human and I can only take responsibility for my actions while giving myself grace and love to move forward and look at it as a learning experience.

this video met me at the perfect time. thank so much inayah

i saw a really interesting instagram reel where someone was talking about how winter (particularly these dark days around the solstice) is when the earth is most quiet, and we naturally take that time to reflect and think and feel, to tell stories about those we've lost and think back on the year that's now behind us. all that to say, processing our emotions and feeling more emotional weight in the winter is totally natural. the trees are resting and readying themselves for the growth of spring, and so too are we.

Very beautiful and touching, thank you

May i ask what do u use to film, love your visual so muchhh ❤

inayah please please make a vid about book recommendations)): i’ve been wanting to get used to read more this year.. but there’s nothing i’m really interested about, how did you get to this point of auto reflection? 💝🙁

You are helping me so much

your channel was the best discovery i made in 2024. if i could only watch one i'd choose yours 🤍

Your writing paired with clips of your visit was so very poignant, a true capture of the gratitude and grief of a hometown. Beautiful!

I cannot believe I watched the whole thing.

Thank you! I lost a parent last year before Christmas Eve, this video came at such an oddly appropriate time 🙏

Hiii Inayah, I'm about turning 20 this year, and I feel like a younger sister absorbing all of your wisdom. I love watching your videos beacuse it feels like I'm behind- as if everyone else is doing more than me or doing better. You remind me to be kind and take things slow, and to be patient with myself. That this uncomfortable feeling is because I DO have that urge for growth. Anyway, looking forward to watching this while I eat dinner this evening. Thanks :)

i think ill be going back to my parent's homecountry in the next few weeks and im nervous about visiting my grandparents house knowing one of them isnt there anymore - hearing you talk about visiting where you grew up and knowing it will feel different made me cry bc it resonated w me so much! love your videos inayah <3

I literally used to have the most genuine crush on you and I never heard your voice before. Now it’s all back…

I saved it to watch later but I needed to leave a comment letting you know that I love you inayah ;(

What is the color of your shirt? Plum fuscous or fuscous plum (fuscous is a dark brownish-gray). The uniqlo website has a "dark brown" in that shirt, but it even looks a bit plum there. ^o^

I’m so early 🥹 I’m only 2 mins in but I had to comment to say I love your videos and one of them in particular really helped me through a tough time . (From one New England girl to another it seems 🍂🍁💕)

How is your work always so magical Inayah?

I love watching these at breakfast at school really helps my anxiety ❤

SAde- STRONGer Than Pride

I watched it all! Had on as I showered. New self care routine. And then I saw comments and thought- no point BUT. YOU. WONDERFUL THOUGHTFUL YOU- inspired me so I switched it up. Said ima do it anyway. Here I am, a writer, 4 chapters away from reaching out to an agent for publication. Thank you for your vibe and your time to put this out Love from ShyGirlNorth

what background music do you use?<3

I seriously relate and loved everything u said. Confidence really does take time :)

My 21 years arc will be over soon and I’m still at the point of changing my life also…it’s a very confusing journey but with the help of people like you to remind me that I’m not alone I can make progress today and believe that I can continue to make progress

I watched it to the end🤍

I'm 24 and i feel so lost and so depressed! I feel like i have nothing left and i am a failure! I fight with a autoimmune disorder and i feel absolutely awful with my life! I have no job and i have no money! I'm absolutely rock bottom i am so sad

Thanks a lot...This video literally gave me huge courage. I've been through a toxic relationship with manipulation for almost 2 years and I didn't realized it until now. At the beginning I felt so upset, anxious, scared and confused, it was just like I was suddenly at the bottom of a strange and cold pit and had no way to get out of it. But your video just changed that situation, like guiding me to a spot where I can climbed up to the ground. It will take strengths and efforts, of course; but the most important thing is that you gave me the strong hope that I didn't have the chance to get on my own. Again, thanks a lot, you are my role model💗

i love you

I watched the whole thing and already feel a tiny bit more confident. Thank you for this video!

Im listen

u have such a beautiful energy (and ur also very beautiful) tysm for sharing this 💕 Love ur flower arrangement btw, you inspire me to do it myself 😽

This video was so beautiful, I really needed to hear this, I'm glad I found this video because I felt at peace knowing that discomfort is normal, thank you for making me understand the process out of discomfort, I watched the entire video and loved it because it felt like a conversation between friends and not something superficial like other channels that make me feel somehow inferior, I felt equal and It's like a breath of fresh air. I'm Brazilian and I say this because I was proud to be able to watch this video and understand everything and it's really good to feel confident in something that used to make me so uncomfortable. I also use the translator because I still feel uncomfortable writing without help, but I feel more and more at peace as I move forward, so whoever is reading this please don't give up in the middle of the process, it is uncomfortable but it is this discomfort that will make you proud in the future I trust you all 💌

I watched the whole thing. The timing is crazy.

The room is beautiful

I love your videos so much. They are such a safe space. 🤍

I watched the whole way through, this video helped me so much
