Where does Damon find all of these friends? 😭 I love them all 😅 and these red wine talks make me feel like I’m literally socializing with them and they’re my friends 😂 that probably sounds pathetic but I love the vibe of these videos, they’re so chill and raw

[@damondominique]

They're literally y'all. Everyone I hang out with these days is from this KZbin channel.

[@diamondcentury21]

Damon Dominique wow, I didn’t know that, that’s actually amazing and really unique! I love that, cause it’s nothing like I’ve seen anywhere on KZbin. I admire how open and friendly you are with your subscribers 😃

[@laurengalvez2562]

my boyfriend and I can't watch one of your red wine talks without pausing it 100x to elaborate on what's being talked about which turns a 25 min video into an hour... love these talks and the super thought-provoking questions! It really does feel like we are sitting there with you!

'You can't argue with time " that hits me in so many levels

[@christinac4472]

When you said "my boy Fred" my brain registered it as "my boyfriend" I'm screaming

[@theplantainchiplover]

I got excited for a sec too lol

[@t.dorazio2784]

fred's english has a french/portuguese accent. love the multiculturality :)

[@blossom-yw8fe]

I've been having a hard time with relationships lately. That's why I feel much more lonely than usual, especially after overcoming social fears that have ruled my whole life. Not knowing how to communicate with people, make new friends, or just maintain existing relationships is stressful enough for me. Despite all this, I feel much better thanks to these red wine conversations; as if I were the one who talks to you and exchanges ideas. It means a lot. Thank you Damon, for being you and doing what you love. I admire that.

[@mspectrum]

I'm in the same situation..

[@annasiajohnson]

Fred talking about comparisons, he's so right. When I didn't have access to the internet, to other people's lives, I was so much more content with who I was and what i already had. Now seeing other people who have "more"... it has a way of making you feel "lesser than" when that's not the case. And even if you do lack in areas where they exceed, you still have things that make you worthy and great too. Literally just be yourself. Everyone is great in their own way. Already knew this, but it's so easy to forget.

[@ana-dg4rr]

I know a lot of people feel as though taking photos in a moment detracts from it, but I typically will shoot just a few photos if I'm feeling really good or happy and then live in the moment, later I make sure the photos are somewhere backed up and I have never regretted a single photo I've taken when I look back on them. They bring back and remind me of the good times, I think the problem is the mentality people have when they document their lives. I don't document for social media or for 24 hour snippets, I document for myself and my memories.

[@ReneeProtege]

I've been in Paris for two years now and I always hope I see Damon... so I can finally become his friend have someone who LOVES to drink red wine as much as I do

[@dustrot]

I feel like my brain is finally analyzing and questioning things now. I question EVERYTHING instead of just assuming it's something that doesn't bother me. Because the thing is, a lot of things do bother me and I don't realize it because society normalizes it. I now have at least one thing to say about everything thanks to Red Wine Talks. 🧡

[@kimberlyalvarez]

“You can’t argue with time.” I FELT THAT! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I think we all fall under the thought that we aren’t following the “timeline” of life. Everyone has their own path and their own timeline and doing things later in life than someone else, is not a bad thing. There is no use in envying a person’s place in life when that same person may envy a part of your life. It’s a vicious cycle. Focus on your own goals, aspiration, and ambitions, and trust that you will get there.

[@briannahoang2348]

So refreshing to learn about experiences from people around the world. Living for these red wine talks!!

[@itsyourgirlBEE]

Something about Fred is just so beautiful. I feel at ease and so relaxed listening to him speak. He seems like a really kind soul

[@racheln3050]

I always say that my goal in life is to never be able to look into my past and say "that was the best time of my life." I want my future to always be more exciting than my past

[@mariumkhan1078]

i love how damon has the coolest, most beautiful friends and is just as beautiful himself, yet i barely have two friends and am a literal goblin like wtf this isn't fair

[@selasievangeline]

The point on giving yourself a cap reminds me of this Guillermo Del Toro quote about how "limits are what give you freedom" and I've never heard something more true. Theres an art in knowing when to stop and I think that's what holds alot of people back from pursuing or completing different passions in life

[@lilysmith7759]

I love Guillermo del Toro! His filmmaking is on another level!

[@selasievangeline]

@@lilysmith7759 me too! And he's pretty quotable when he's talking about his craft

Love Guillermo del Toro and great quote! There's truth in it too :)

[@filmfauxtos]

This series brings me life!!!

[@OcularAMVs]

Damon’s the man. Love these kind of conversations and it’s cool to see it being spoken about so candidly. He’s able to share his stories in an entertaining way but they’re also topics that we can reflect on. Love the content bro

[@ispeaktoaster6671]

"You can't argue with time"...Call me tf out!!! Attaching milestones I want to hit to a date has not done me good,but letting go of that imaginary timeline is sooo difficult. Y'all relate?

Yeeeessss it is difficult! Feels like you're not progressing, but hey we are and we are ambitious at least haha!!! We will get there :)

Oh my god, I absolutely love this video. As a Latin American who has spent some time abroad I can relate to so many of the topics you talked about, like the warmth of the people but also feeling unsafe on the street. I love it when videos make me sit down and think for a while, your videos never fail at this!

Its SO true about specifically comparing ourselves to others who are more “advanced” than us AND younger...thats such a struggle of mine that im actively working against to not feel bad about myself and feel good about where i am and not like im behind

The last two points were much needed for me. Everyone’s journey is different and we CANNOT be comparing each other. Or else we’ll go insane 😂 thank you both for your insights
