2017 - dreaming with eyes open

[@maiyafleck172]

Dr. Seuss - 'You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.' I feel like this video describes this so well

[@juanaaruna8416]

It has been 6 years and this is still my favorite video on the internet

[@Rey-Revival]

No zoom transition. no luma fade. No wiggly brush font. A film with a story and a message, more touching than any My Year video i've ever watched. This is filmmaking.

[@jakekelly3110]

ReyAldana filmmaking the way it should be

[@sawyerbrice]

ReyAldana absolutely agree

[@pleuni2549]

exactly!

[@INDYBLUE]

ahhhh! my heart is exploding. so nice, thank you.

[@logangerling]

FINALLY PPL WHO GET IT!!!!

[@EmmeReed]

absolutely unreal.

[@TheGroovyGuitarDude]

AMAZING. Words can’t do this justice.

[@sebastianw9972]

yes nice one!

[@laurendavis3333]

I want to watch this every morning so that I can remember to live like you. This is amazing.

[@ryancarmichael6533]

Lauren Davis live like yourself, sculpt a life that fulfills your wishes, and no one else’s. Then you will know happiness my friend. I hope the rest of your life is amazing.

[@ilovetodanceandsing9]

The song is "Collecting Sounds Around The World" by Max LL for everyone wondering! :)

[@rachelphiri2]

Aniya Evans thank you!!!!

[@luisanasierra383]

[@davidkerrliving]

Indy's films are truly changing lives. What a big inspiration for my life and my films. Cheers to chasing dreams and living right.

[@karla.magdalena4731]

David Kerr so true!

[@sawyerbrice]

David Kerr agreed!

[@INDYBLUE]

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE

[@RemaAwad]

David Kerr Hey I am making a random group chat with strangers if you want to join message me at 954-439-2983, with your name and I’ll add you. This is simply to just have internet friends to talk to. Don’t share anything you don’t want to.

[@anjohleejacobsen2257]

could you make a video all about how you were able to do all of the traveling you did in 2017?? Like how do you have the money to go to these places, how did you decided where you wanted to go, and what fun things to do there?

[@maddiemcpartlin1804]

that was on my mind throughout the entire video

[@aniccaadams]

omg yes please!!

[@nicolefrancese2602]

I read Indy’s blog and I know she is a professional videographer. So she makes her traveling money through doing wedding videos, etc!

[@katelynann467]

Ugh I crave a life like this

[@KaitlynMcCary]

PLEASE this is want I want to do in life but how tf do they make the money to do it?? 😭😭

[@blackninja302]

This will forever always be my favorite Indy Blue video

[@janazaprazna3100]

Watching this at the end of 2020 is giving me goosebumps ...

[@ColleenPark]

I have to come back and rewatch this all the time

[@softballsoccerlaxer]

its 2019 and this video still gives me chills.

[@cindyli2311]

Starting 2018 right by watching your videos

[@sydneyhoover1607]

amazing. its clear that this isn't just for social media or videos, but for pure and raw adventure and enjoyment

[@gracewilson1759]

I still watch this video weekly even after 6 years it gives me more inspiration than anything else ever has❤ you helped me find my purpose… don’t ever forget the way you helped so many like me ❤

[@kennedyneely88]

indy this is STUNNING

[@user-ok7ro2ec2e]

Im crying. Absolutely amazing. No words.

[@tayloralesia96]

this gave me chills. best edit I've ever seen on youtube. keep up the good work.

[@corincampbell]

This is the most painfully beautiful video I've ever watched and I keep coming back to replay it again and again and again

[@grrrlonthemoon]

Ugh I keep coming back watching this video, hits me emotionally and physically EVERY. TIME. Never stop being you Indy Blue

[@SammyNoelleMakeup]

this is so inspiring. i want to watch this everyday so i can keep my priorities straight and remember to not only dream but to make those dreams happen so that i can live my best life too. you're the best & i love you and all your work.

[@izzyhewson8365]

I’m not kidding when I say I’ve watched this everyday since it was posted because it is one of the most inspiring videos ever from one of the most inspiring people ever. Every time I see a post or a video on your Instagram my day gets a little bit better because you just prove that life doesn’t just come to you you have to go out and find it and this video sums it up perfectly. 2017 wasn’t the best year for me but I watch this and think well what did I try do to make it better? Nothing. What did you do? Everything and that is why 2017 will probably be one of the best years of your life. That’s just reality and you have inspired me to do the same for this year and next year and the year after that. Live everyone as if it was your last.

[@arielalena]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. 😍😍 my favorite video you've ever made so far

[@maggiemalloy2976]

This is amazing Indy. Icon of 2017, Internet mom, and Idol. Just wow.

[@stephanie_9313]

This is one of the most beautiful videos I’ve seen. The music. Everything. Such a warm feeling it gives.

[@kaelaprice4937]

I watch this video once a week still and it's probably my favorite video ever created. Absolutely love your videos, they're truly inspiring in every way.

[@paulinajenewein5431]

this is my favorite video of all time. the music, the edit, the color scheme and the stories that must be behind it

[@thatoasterfly]

I'm crying, I've been following u since your last New Years video came out and I feel like I lived all these adventures with you. Luv u & keep doing what ur doing

[@oliviahagy499]

Absolute chills. You are something special Indy.

[@elliekohn1218]

I watched this video and sobbed. This video displays all things beautiful in the world. You are an inspiration to my friends and I and I can only dream of living a life as beautiful as yours has been. Please never stop making videos and traveling the world. I hope everyone who watches this video realizes how fucking beautiful life can be if we choose to live it the way you are. Best 2 minutes and 47 seconds I have ever watched, I LOVE YOU

[@brianahickey8480]

I still come back to this because of how beautifully created it is. So much emotions and inspiration

[@rileymorgan8016]

this is the life i strive to live. thank you for being such and inspiration and showing living the life you want is possible!

[@chloefunk5346]

this video almost brought me to tears because it just shows how truly beautiful life is. We are so so blessed to live in such a beautiful world

[@marinjones]

I watch this whenever I feel that what I’m doing in life seems useless. Indy, you have inspired me beyond words, and I am forever grateful.

[@sarabaird5499]

sometimes I just come back and watch this video because it makes my heart so full and just reminds me how GOOD this life is

[@jordynbowers1117]

every now and then I'll come back to this video to remind myself why I should keep going...it's to give myself the opportunity to experience all the world has to offer

[@rlprocks01]

I still watch this video till today and saw it when you first posted. Favorite video on youtube and favorite video you made forever.

[@emmamebane6779]

For everyone wondering, the speech is called "Is This Life a Dream?" by Alan Watts :) Also Indy the video is UNREAL!!! So creative and different, I've got a lot of admiration for you and how you live your life

[@maurascrabis1143]

This made me fall in love with life all over again

[@skyliebrimhall1392]

this is life changing. you are such a role model to sooo many young girls and people. i’m absolutely speechless and just want to live just like you. i need to watch this everyday to remind myself to live like indy blue.

[@bracefaces6627]

this is absolutely incredible. I can’t stop watching it.

[@allisonrow8020]

a true creative genius. thank you for inspiring me to live my life to the fullest and start today, instead of making excuses. I look forward to all the amazing adventures you have in store for 2018!

[@kenzlore9577]

I always come back to this video... at least once a month. I can’t explain how it makes me feel. This is the video that made me say “yes” to fully committing to living a year abroad in a country of my choice. I’ve been living in France since September, and it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but I’m learning and experiencing so much that I would never have without taking the risk. Never stop creating Indy, you inspire so many people (like me) everyday. 💛

[@alliecoglianese9934]

okay. i have goosebumps. I CANT TELL YOU HOW OBSESSED I AM WITH THIS. i swear i fall in love w u and this channel and ur videos every single time you post. im crying. you’re an inspiration indy. keep doing you. ill just be sitting here applauding u

[@bfilms.photos]

wow is all i can say!! indy truly knows how to let others see there's more to life than just the everyday routine we stick to. She has opened my eyes personally to go out and use the world to learn so many new things that are beyond amazing. Thank you so much Indy for being such a role model not only to me but to many others who want to travel and view the world in a different perspective!! I hope 2018 treats you even better!!

[@Layla-zz1gb]

why am i legit crying right now. watching you this year has made me change the way i view life. I want this too much

[@laurenzkramer2753]

Without fancy gimbals or transitions you created some real authentic nostalgic vibes. I bet when you look back in 40 years or so this has been one of the best times of your life and you created this remarkable memory. LOVE IT!!! Keep on doing this! Keep on creating magic!

[@INDYBLUE]

this made me so happy! thank you!

[@laurenzkramer2753]

You inspired me to do a recap of my year, too :) It is not as good as yours but would be honored if you'd check it out :)

[@violetschermer7819]

Never thought that a video that I had such high expectations for could beat what I was already expecting. An absolute jaw-dropping video that encompasses what so many people want to do but what so few dare to do. Cheers to 2017. In with the new and out with the old.

[@zoejuliannaa]

I love Alan Watts, great philosopher! And what an amazing video!!!!

[@LensforLove]

Absolutely unreal. Thank you for this. I love every film you make. Truly life changing.

[@emmastowell9092]

Indy you are such an inspiration to me and so many others. You are the epitome of following your dreams and making them a reality. Keep on traveling and creating and inspiring in 2018!

[@elenaseoo]

I think the beauty of this video is not the video cuts that were made or the music, but the pure joy and happiness she has brought and shown to us. 2019 here we come.

[@lenaebadi5757]

feeling all the feels. so so happy I found indy after her 2016 video and since then I’ve just fallen in love with her and her work! Keep shining indy this was beautiful!!

[@susannesrli9756]
