My parents passed away 17 months apart. I am still in my 30’s. Most people i know have their parents well over that age. I don’t have many pictures of them. But the brain, the memories are more powerful than any camera. Our loved ones will always be in our heart and mind. That motivates us to do better and live as good of a life as possible. You are never alone.

[@captainmaim]

These is no way to waste effort. If you pick up a heavy thing and then later it falls, you have proven that you can pick it up again. Every time you do a mindless repetitive task, you get better at it. You are better today than you were yesterday, you can't even help it.

A beautifull video, a song that always comforts me is the "Song of healing" from Majoras Mask, it has a tragic touch to it, but thats part of what makes it beautiflul in my opinion, maybe it can help you too. :) And to everyone reading this, you are not alone, the night is darkest before Dawn, so dont lose hope.

[@tedferkin]

@@Skrymik I'm struggling to think of them doing so. Yes they cared for me, but I always felt out of a sense of duty than anything. I think my sister thinks more of me than my parents. Just come out of a 30 year relationship, and now listening to mindfulness and relationship videos I realise what little I got out of it. I was hoping to find a video that can help me make it through the day, but to be honest I'm struggling to relate to much of it.

[@m8nemi]

​@tedferkin because this is for people who are already somewhere. You gotta start slower, lower somehow. It's like the stairs for this video to work begins a meter from your head.

I can't. Each second is shattering me. I don't even think I'll be alive tomorrow. It's hurting me so much.

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

@@tayluvofficial What can I do for you? what seems to be the problem. I've been on the brink so many times and always wake up surprized Im still here, but there is always something that brings me back , brings my connection back to this place and it always seems to be the simple things. You are not your emotions, they do not control you. your ego is not you, it only survives to cause pain and doubt. You are more than what is going on, whatever it may be, it'll pass in time but you are here, alive and here for purpose! Please, take a moment to breathe deeply and realise you are not alone, you are not broken, you are you, special and meaningful. If you can't bring joy to yourself, do it for someone else ,it really does bring joy into your life and bring meaning to that lost feeling. I don't know you or your situation but feel my love, see the white light, it is pure and without judgement, let it surround you and connect it to those around you. That shattering is only temporary and something that exists to make you stronger, you will see in time even thou it is hard it has purpose. 🙏

[@alzdsz]

@@bobrobertsNotUrBob what if one feels so down in the dumps. Like life has got nothing to offer me. Why does it come back more often it's like it's pulling me in that dark zone. I have lead a lonely life right from childhood. I always wanted more from my life, i looked at my friends life going to parties each weekend laughing having fun together. I've always wanted that. But i couldn't. I have always struggled making friends that last a lifetime atleast one friend that would ask me how am I doing. It's not like i haven't tried but the people's ive known never wanna stay in touch with me. When i meet some of them i still feel disconnected. I vibe with only a certain kind of people but those are rare. Each weekend I'm at home just staring at my phone. I've always wanted a connection maybe from a single girl or maybe from a group of friends but it's never ever worked out for me. Why doesn't it pass like you say and comes back more often. I try to keep my mind away from it. But now it feels like it has gripped me and maybe sadness is what I like. But it's like my mind still forces me to think that this isn't what i deserve. I wish it was different and i smiled more often. I always have to fake a smile to others that I'm fine. But deep inside i know I'm not

[@bobrobertsNotUrBob]

@@alzdsz It is hard to say, not knowing everything. I have the same thing with people not hanging around. i was told that life is just so crazy and hectic for most people that it is hard even for them to reach out instead of working hard or glued to their phone. I would have to say based on my own life and depression, that it is clearly a chemical imbalance. There are simple things that have helped (vitamins and minerals)omega 3, vitamin 6's, magnesium, potassium. but clearly I needed more than simple vitamins.

[@alzdsz]

@@bobrobertsNotUrBob thanks for helping the way u can. Hopefully my life will end soon and I'll be out of this misery. I know it's not the answer. But thats what i feel. Probably as years go by it's gotta affect my mental and physical health. I might not be in the state of mind I'm now. Wish everything changed for the better. Sending out ❤️ to u mate.

I’m starting to play my guitar, at first I thought I was really good but my family hasn’t ever said anything, until I was reading my moms diary looking for her recipes, there I saw it. “I heard Darling playing her guitar, she’s getting really good :)”. I bursted into tears of happiness, she doesn’t know how much that meant to me, I love you mum

[@heyyy1325]

awww that's so sweet 🥰this reminds me of when I was having such a bad day at school and I felt so alone and I was crying a lot back then because of stuff, but when I came back home I saw my favourite cat plush toy on my bed, covered by the blanket that my mom made for me. it was set up in a way that the cat was sitting while covered in a blanket. when I tell you I literally burst into tears of happiness immediately. my mom put it there, though I didn't tell her about the things I was going through, she put it there right when I needed it most. that is just proof that we are never alone, and that sometimes we just need to be more open to see the positive of the world, how the world actually supports and loves us. your thinking goes a loong way. and such a small act can really make someone feel a million times better, so remember- your actions have power, so be mindful and kind to both yourself and others! there's a lot we cannot see. and im sure you're great at guitar :D I didn't mean to write such a gigantic paragraph lmao

[@playful5236]

​@@the_one_03 somewhat same place as you. I think this is a generational issue, and after researching so many, I now know the way our condition is right now, is a result of so many things not done. And there is no infrastructure for us to bring ourselves out of the situation. So the first thing to understand is that, we are not loving the best of life rn. We have so much potential, unique. If you want to tap into that, only we can do this. When I discovered what all led us to the situations, I started blaming everything, but that's not a solution. We deserve happiness and wellbeing in all aspects of life, to say the least. It's nuanced, and there is no one answer for it. But i guess it starts with: - Educating yourself with proper perspectives and mindsets, through maybe videos. This way you can get clarity about yourselves, your potential and problems, your role in the world etc. - Finding an intelligent, authentic and a person that understands you to talk to everything openly. This will make the process faster and more possible. - Get your physical and mental health diagnosed in a proper way, and do the necessary. - And lastly, I wish that all of this will lead you to a strong, truth based, perspective and clarity, a thing to pursue which develops you into your potential, a good community or relationship to be in, and in good physical and mental health. Once this much happens, we all have the necessary, to build our lives to full potential! Much Love!

That feeling when you're exhausted and you finally get into bed and your bed is extraordinarily comfortable and before you know it, you drift into a dark, dreamless, and deeply healing sleep. The fact that everyone has hit a rough patch and has been in need of comfort, support, and love at some point or another in their life. We are all in this together. That moment when you're watching a movie or a TV show, or maybe reading a book, and a character says something that you relate to so deeply at that moment that it brings tears to your eyes. Very smooth rocks. They've been worn down by time, water, and other things to become that smooth and beautiful. Humans have quite a bit in common with rocks. Watching the stars twinkle outside your window just before slipping into bed. I like to think they're sending me Morse code messages, telling me that everything is going to be okay and they are always watching over me, even when the Sun is out and I can't see them.

This video really helped me feel and I know I am not the only one. Thank you for being such a kind and empathetic soul.

So many people everywhere in search for true inner peace and joy that will last for eternity, but it can only be found in Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you more than you could ever know and He wants to give you this peace. I am sharing my best friend's story with you in hopes that you will come to know Jesus Christ and find real peace and comfort in your soul. God bless you. Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey Family Story Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day. My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening. That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are. Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you. His Story Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price] “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b) Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour! “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) Your Story What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son. The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready? “...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) “(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c) ****************************** This testimony has been made into a gospel tract.

I was having such a bad day, you saved me. "To cry is comforting.Shed a tear if you feel like it. We all do sometimes. It's okay" 10 seconds ago, I was crying so bad that I couldn't breathe, but you happen to appear. Thanks. Why would I need therapy when I have you. Thanks, thanks for being my comfort person, it's means a lot, more than anyone would understand why. Thanks for being there for me when I needed, thanks for being my therapist, thanks for being my comfort person. Thanks

❤️❤️

[@latenightsrain]

Ohh I hope you’re doing better, you’re a lovely person ❤

[@ronit9918]

Just when I needed it, after crying all evening from bad relationship ♥️

[@LanaBlakely]

I'm so sorry. I hope you find what's right for you in this situation.

[@ImprovementGang]

Knowing that you are not alone in your pain is one of the most comforting things ever. "Oh! I am not the only one that is in this case huh?" It is also comforting because you know people got out of that feeling as well

[@dmtdreamz7706]

Comfort is not just extreme pleasure. Comfort is the realization of immortality and the realization that everything is heaven. When you realize that, it's so good, it's infinitely good. It's not just good. It's good to the infinite degree. It's so much goodness that you can't contain it. your body can't hold it. Your entire body shakes and shudders in a cosmic orgasm of bliss. It's perfection. It's total peace. It's absolute love, that's truly comfort.

[@nana____fox]

been having a rough time for well over a year now. the pressure i've put on myself to heal quickly is definitely not helping, might as well just lay here and let it be, for now. thank you for this... it gives me hope 🌘

[@siddharthbose1311]

Your voice is so comforting. It felt like a relief to simply hear you talk and just close my eyes. That for me was comforting enough to forget about my problems for a short period of time.

[@zeackleo5103]

just came back with some bad news from hospital feeling emotional and i just search comforting video and i am here, almost cried listening to all those good thing ,so, just wanna let you know you kinda saved my day

[@AndrewForeman88]

What a beautiful treasure you have given me this morning. Thank you Lana for sharing warmth, comfort, truth and care. That video was the warm morning sunlight I hungered for! Thank you very much!

[@LanaBlakely]

I appreciate that, thank you so much.

[@emilyreda9595]

You deserve everything you want. Don't let anyone make you feel like you don't.

[@zardinthebrokenatlas]

Turned this on and didn't realize how many things I took for granted

[@sarab1802]

this video is a warm hug, made me cry. thank you lana that's exactly what I needed today

[@H11b00o]

"There's nothing more you could've done stop beating yourself up"❤❤

[@gregorymcgann884]

Some videos are original, many videos are simple. But very few videos are simple and original. This is one of them. So good

[@Oziverse1610]

I just got here from my KZbin recommendations and I watched the more recent video called "watch this video when you need a warm hug" and I am so so glad I found this because I never thought there'd be someone who tries to comfort others and make them feel good about themselves on KZbin like this You're beautiful, you who is maybe reading this from somewhere in the world. Yes you, you're beautiful just because you exist and you try your best every day and because you're so human with all your imperfections and human behaviour.

[@adarshachatterjee493]

“You were a good friend. There's nothing more you could’ve done” “no one thinks as badly of you, as you do of yourself.” Just touched me.

[@katlover7]

The last part where she said "you, your presence is comforting to someone" made me shed a few tears. I've been having a rough time lately, especially thinking that i don't really matter and this helped me in a strange way Thank you for making this comforting video♡

[@simeondobrev5835]

2:49 That right there. I met a fellow Bulgarian last year who happened to be from the same city as myself. When we got to know each other, we found we had the same birthday and were born the same year! And to top that, we also were born in the same hospital, only 4 hours apart... How crazy that we met 20 years later across the Atlantic ocean in Canada. :)

[@tanyaaa016]

"To cry is comforting. Shed a tear if you feel like. We all do sometimes. It's okay" Thank you so much. I really needed it

[@BabyMusicLuv]

"Shed a tear if you feel like it. We all do sometimes." I had been holding them in for so long. This one line broke the dam. Thank you so much. ❤❤

[@adityamenon4066]

I'm someone that goes through severe panic attacks quite frequently. Idk if this will get lost in the comments, but sincerely i thank you. Because your voice and your videos are what helps me calm down instantly. Thank you so much.

[@lokojoe17]

Really needed to see this today as our world continues to be a place where hope is scarce. It usually takes a lot for me to cry but this video opened up the flood gates. Thank you Lana.

[@LanaBlakely]

💕🙏

[@maria.speaks.english]

Someone from my country is destroying another country simultaneously shattering everything here and there. I ended up feeling so anxious, weak, scared, shamed in the course of the last 2 weeks and your video is like finding a source of light, faint light but yet so warm in this very dark times. Thank you, Lana!

[@LanaBlakely]

What's going on is truly horrifying and I'm so sorry. I'm glad this brought you a brief moment of light

[@onimendez7735]

Praying for peace and Divine protection for all. "There is a Divine power at work." Someone told me many years ago. I try my best to remember that this world we all share is greatly healed by our own loving thoughts. 🇺🇦 🙏

[@H11b00o]

Omg "the fact that the flame of a single candle can light thousands of other candles" that's so beautiful

[@avneet2.0]

Loved how simple yet comforting this was. One of those "I didn't know I needed this" kinda videos! Thank you :)

[@sorabhmanchanda1835]

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." Much needed change in perception to pursue taking risks in life. Thanks a lot Lana❤

[@jenfiless]

"no one thinks as badly of you, as you think of yourself" thank you i really needed that cause I've been crying for over an hour now and hearing this made me feel better

[@Lonystal]

the fact that "we shared that special moment together yet apart" with the others who were born around the same time as me really made me think. Like, we came in this life during the same time!!!

[@재생목록-c6r]

1:59 hits hard. I always wish I could have done more for someone. But in the end people have to chose for themseves, for better or worst. Thankz.

[@NicsTrueNorth]

You genuinely got me through so many school days the past two years. When I was stressed I would leave class, sit in the stairwell when no one else was there, and listen to this video. It got me through so many days. Thank you ❤

[@star_lux1218]

I have been so overwhelmed. This helped me so much. Ur voice is very comforting.the “I’m proud of you” hit really hard. Growing up no one told me that.I’m here because of all the mistakes and guilt I feel. I’m struggling with my relationship. I’m so glad I found this video. I really needed this. Thank you so much.

[@SamLumba]

Your best days are the days you live to the fullest. That starts now. Your best days aren't that lies ahead, somewhere on the other side of romance, a career or a family. Your best days are the ones you're living now. -RW EMBRACE NO MATTER WHAT, KEEP FIGHTING EVERY SINGLE DAY. YOU'LL GET THROUGH THIS. ❤

[@snehaghosh92]

the last line "you, your presence is comforting to someone" really needed to hear that. Thanks for making me feel better. And to any stranger reading this, don't worry you'll get over it as storms don't last forever and remember you are not alone in this journey. Good days are coming......

[@astronaut-i9n]

You are such a comfort person, I really thank you sm for making me and everyone feel better. Your calming voice is everything. Thank you for this video .

Dear love, you have the power to face it all, even though if might not seem like it right now. Take a deep breathe and look around you, ..remember that there are people in this world who care a lot about you.

[@missrainee]

"You've been a good friend. You've done your best. There was nothing more you could've done. Stop beating yourself up." you don't know how much i needed that.

[@mayab0urgeois]

My dentists son was born at the same hospital as me at the same time, never go a teeth cleaning without being reminded. Never met him but I’ve always thought it was cool that we have that connection.

[@alina-sp2kf]

"You were a good friend. Theres nothing more you could've done" i really needed this. for about a month i’ve been having a sort of tough time with a friend. she’s been making me feel like a bad person because she thinks our other two friends and i only care about each other and not her, which isn’t the case at all. she’s known our other two friends her whole life because they’re family friends who turned into family, but she lived three hours away for many years. she recently moved back to our town. for the last two and a half i’ve been friends with those said other friends. now that she has moved back to the same town as our two friends and i, she feels like she’s just walking into a friendship and interrupting it. which i understand how that feels but our other two friends and i include her in everything, care about her so much, and love having her around. i guess she just doesn’t see that tho. on new year’s eve we all hung out at this party, and the girl who feels left out ignored me the whole time, and even left the party early because i guess i was acting awkward towards her? when i reality i tried multiple times throughout the night to talk to her but every time i tried talking or made eye contact with her, she either left the room or just turned away from me. so the next day i confronted her over text, asking why she was ignoring me and asking if i did anything wrong. she proceeded to say i didn’t do anything wrong but she feels left out from our other two friends and i. i reassured her many times and told her she has to understand the four of us all can’t hang out together all the time, so sometimes it might be only three of us hanging out at a time, because the last time our two friends and i hung out, she got upset even tho she had other plans that day. after we talked for a bit over text when i confronted her she then just said it’s just something she needs to get over. i asked her if her and i were okay or did she need to say more to me, and all she said was “its fine, i really do not want this to add to more things and im really not trying to compare who is closer to who. it’s something i should probably just get over because i truly feel like this is gonna lead to nothing.” i tried my best to resolve whatever was happening but she wasn’t putting in any effort but i overthought the situation and felt like a horrible person. hearing from you that “you were a good friend and there’s nothing more you could’ve done” helped me because i now realize that i did try my best to fix the situation. things are still awkward between us so idk what’s going to happen and when this is going to be resolved. edit: it’s been three months and things are still awkward and she still gets mad over the tiniest things
