a brief lesson on patience

[@gilliangracee]

actually this literally could not have come at the perfect time. eerie timing honestly because i've been patient about something for 3 weeks and today i found out i'll have to be patient for another month

[@RyeStewArt]

One of many vids I needed to see today. I used to be full of nothing but patience, but I've been empty as of late. I'll need to be mindful when those little inconveniences pop up, practice patience. Thank you

[@indigo_diary]

Your editing is very impressive I've been watching you for years and I've always liked your videos but now the editing is on another level

[@dakotawarren]

this is so kind considering I’ve only ever used default iMovie on my old laptop from university :’)

Just when the world needed her the most, she returned.

[@ninja_boy]

Reminds me of when I spilled a bowl of cereal on the kitchen floor, and the milk went everywhere, including underneath the refrigerator. They say don't cry over spilled milk, but I was near tears. 😭

Last night I dropped an odd-shaped knife, and it pierced my foot. I was in the middle of cleaning up some mess, and now there was even more mess and a wound to tend to. On top of it all, I was super tired and craving for some sleep. What a lesson in patience that was 🙄

[@blueberrymuffin113]

Oh no, are you doing okay now? 🫶🏼

[@FebruaryJulia]

@blueberrymuffin113 thank you, kind soul 🤗 luckily I'm on a speed track to recovery

[@7forevermore]

Great timing, Dakota.

[@mmcoookies]

ah, I am yet to clean up the soil in the other room that I closed the door to after seeing my cats had dropped a plant yesterday. I just had no energy to deal with it after work, and then I forgot, and now Dakota is reminding me about it in such a dramatic way lol

[@jungkooksboozybud]

This really couldn't have come at a more perfect time! Thanks a ton, Dakota❤

[@YayItsCaroline19]

Everything feels so dark right now. A scary election combined with life as a college student…I feel so tired and a bit depressed and just wanna sleep. But I need to be kind to myself and take things day by day so that I don’t go insane. You put this out at a perfect time, thanks Dakota ❤️ (also, I wrote my novel with one of your write alongs on the screen, it was very helpful and I will do it again :3)

[@mess1yart]

i love this and the mary jane shoes!!!! they're giving vibe

[@Lazymoonhaze]

I am practicing patience by crocheting a top with a 1.5 mm hook and lace weight yarn

[@Abby0807]

this came at a perfect time, and i just wanted to thank you. your videos always ground me and remind me to enjoy the little things and i love that i can always go back and replay those little snippets of your life through your special gaze. sending love

[@dakotawarren]

you’ve made my evening :)

[@josephinebelliveau8488]

yes girl get that dirt

[@iwouldsprinkle]

I am practicing patience by waiting until I am mentally well enough to return to school... its taking a while

[@bethanlawrence8624]

tragically relatable

[@grayclin]

i wish i was this patient - my reaction to a fallen plant would have been far more aligned with something closer to satanic.

[@cracklingsoda]

Dakota, did you delete that video, that poem video? I am Entropy! It was my favourite video on the internet and I can't find it anymore!

[@dakotawarren]

yes! hated it

[@cracklingsoda]

​​​@@dakotawarren one man's trash..

[@Fainxie1000]

great timing and introduced to a very wholesome channel ☺

[@Pazoo_underscore]

dakota how is it that every time i look on your channel and wish for a new video you always do just that. like half an jour before this video i was looking at your channel. Mind reader i guess. one of your manh illustrious talents. i definitely need this lesson in patience for my upcoming 10 hour art exam... not sure how ill manage that

[@crumblecrumble99]

literally just what i needed right now thank you thank you thank you [mentally rough day]

[@gracemoon-s5z]

Dakota, I wanted to ask you how much time you think you’ve wasted in your life? I spend so much of my time feeling bad about how much I’ve thus wasted and how much I’m set to waste worrying about it all in the first place. It seems a bit of a dire cycle, hm? Well, I’m not sure if you’ll see this question but you seem like a great person to ask. You’re a writer successfully living the creative life in London! Your short career has been wildly successful! You’re young and alive and living every day so beautifully! Surely you must never feel the clutching panic about never living up to your own potential rise in your chest late at night. Except, I know (or maybe it’s a jealous hope) that my image of you is some skewed parasocial fancy made up of your social media presence. So I wonder, what is your answer to this question that so often crosses my mind?

Why does your vacuum go backward? 😯

[@eleanork04]

I love you, but PLEASE empty your vacuum cleaner.

[@dakotawarren]

I think you need to resit the brief lesson on patience

[@bzztthundaa]

❤

[@Ihatehavetopickupusernames]

I think right now at this moment of ours we all need to practice some patience.

[@franzkafkasno1fan]

is this satire?

[@dakotawarren]

I intended it to be a satirical little over dramatisation, but it’s very interesting to see so many people interpreting it as though it’s not - I think people tend to see what they want or need to see in the moment

[@hertyhert112]

Want to meet you

[@dakotawarren]

I want to meet me too

[@-lovecassy_333]

Every day, your art inspires me that my soft little daydreams that make my heart sing can be a reality. Especially with the recent events that have transpired in the US, the timing of this is truly impeccable and very much needed. I recently looked at my mother’s front garden and there’s such beautiful bundles of clovers that I adore but her and my step father dislike. He always rips them out but they are always there to come back and grow again. I recently saw them this morning during taking out the trash and was reminded that even in darkness and hopelessness, hope and light always find a way to grow. I truly mourn this time but am always still very hopeful for the future, even though it terrifies me more than ever. (Context: I have a fear of the future and often hate my birthday due to having grown up so fast and even play parent for my siblings with disabilities, at a very young age) Thank you soo much Dakota, please don’t ever stop creating and sharing your art. It truly inspires us all. I wish you nothing but safety and happiness ~ 🥹🤍🕯️
