Sometimes I think about all those things she said to me, all the love, all the feelings, were they all a lie?. and then I realize all the things I did and all the hardships I went through just to be with her. every part of my life could be summarized into all of it being for her. That's why I feel the "I did it for me" part completely... meaning I hope I get the strength to do all the stuff again just for me..

Absolute chills. I swear the universe knew I was ready for this message tonight. I relate to you so much; went through pretty much the exact same thing and even down to trying out film after being a digital native- I relate. But most of all, the 10 year desire and inner calling to make your channel but always putting it off… man I get that. This is my sign to take the jump. I’ve been so scared to start showing my face in front of the camera again and couldn’t find anything that felt it was enough motivation to do so, until you said “do it for yourself” and I thought of my younger self who started a KZbin at 11 years old that went viral. I gave it up because I changed and thought people wouldn’t want the new me. This is waking me up to realize, it was never for them anyways. The blessings our art gives to the world is just the ripple effect; believing in ourselves is the greatest kindness we can do for the planet because it gives others permission to do the same and sets the example. Truly, thank you. ❤

I just got out of a 2 year relationship. Same thing I poured everything into the relationship and when it ended I felt empty. For the first few days I've been depressed a woman I loved so closely and so dearly went on to live the rest of her life without me and said it could never work. I understood and through the massive blow something refracted in my heart and exploded. I'm starting to understand that it's all up to me now and that if I want to do this I will FOR ME. I'm making music, rock climbing, reading, and sometimes falling backwards from the pain. But the relationship is over for good and no matter what I'm moving forward.

I was depressed for 6 years but it seems that sometimes you really have to go through harder things to change your ways, I'm really glad I'm still here, to be honest 1 year ago I didn't even see myself getting to where I am now, what can I say, live life, enjoy it while you live.

Hey dude I’m not even halfway through the video yet and I just want to say it’s crazy how many barriers we build in our mind to avoid doing what it is we really want to do. We make up excuses so that we have the comfort of sitting right between our dreams and comfort zone. I’m starting to realize that so many of us are going through the same exact things and have the same exact fears bouncing back on one another. I have been wanting to start a KZbin for over a decade now and I finally pulled the trigger and decided to commit to it for that same little girl who kept waiting to be ready. Subscribed & wishing you lots of luck, growth, & most importantly fun on this journey! ✨🌟

I’m glad that your video was the first one that popped up when I opened my KZbin. Your perspective on life is just the kind that makes subscribing worthwhile! I can’t stop watching your videos now and soaking in your words. Thank you for this, and for the gentle nudge ♥️ Keep it up!

Jesus is not god. How can he die if he’s god?

Just stumbled across this video on my home page. Already subbed 2 minutes into the video. Love how raw and personal you get when sharing things. I'm glad I found your channel, and looking forward to future uploads, man!

I've been struggling for a while now with finding the balance between doing things for myself and still taking care of others without completely shutting myself off from them. And this feels like a message. So thank you for finding that park bench and sharing it with us, thank you to the person who wrote those words and thank you to whoever inspired said person to do so. Thank you.

Everything about this video is amazing, the message, the quality, the everything. Keep doing this man, it can really impact people in profound ways. You showing your life's experiences and taking away insights is amazing. I too will stop waiting till "the times right" and go ahead and start.
