romanticizing life to the fullest | dating my friends & daily practice

[@cocojadecampbell]

Hitomi’s life is like an endless summer

[@matilda5949]

Like it should be :)

[@ninanegedu]

Yes❤

[@julielarcher4936]

That is exactly what I was thinking watching this vlog 🌻💛

[@RuWeLinski]

I feel that her life is more like honoring each season as it comes and doing the best to be with the transition. I love your sentiment though! :)

[@ninanegedu]

@@RuWeLinski this is so beautiful ❤️

"your heart's deepest callings are not always instantly gratifying" i love that one

[@leticiamagalhaes3747]

Thank you for sharing a part of you with us!! This actually contributed to me a lot🥰🥰

[@presleewagnon5760]

Damn girl. "The core to my female friendships is not an attachment to one another but a commitment to wonder and curiosity" Love what you had to say about your friendships. Powerful shit.

[@gudetamacafe1032]

hitomi reminds me of the friend I always wanted as a kid, someone who I’d let my inner child roam free with 💕

[@tuneroro]

7:08 you guys remind me of a pack of wolves reuniting, in the most wholesome way. It’s funny that people ask if you’re dating your friends - to me it just seems you’re comfortable enough to move in a more vulnerable, natural way. We need more of that in our relationships & society

[@marylka3566]

totally!!

[@Lynniique]

“i’m grateful that my heart was cracked open so early on” ❤ there is so much love in this video thank you hitomi for being unapologetically you. so graceful and so warm and so real and raw

[@mckalyn]

I started crying watching this video, you and your friends have such incredible healing powers and provide so much peace, I hope everyone can find friendships like this 💜

[@racheljune688]

Ditto 💜🧡❤️

[@lifeofnaee2503]

I really want one sooo bad ughhh I will go manifest one

[@pazemy]

I crave a sisterhood like this but I never see this dynamic with mothers. I feel like having kids creates a barrier with my ability to find sisters who would equally like to be around me and my kids. I just want sisters to come over and dance with me and my babies and do art and be in nature

[@relliesworld3626]

You spoke from my heart 💜 Although, I don’t see my kids as barriers but I can say that they see and notice things that we don’t because of their innocence and vulnerability. I guess they keep those away who should not be around and those who are good for us, don’t see our kids as barriers xoxoxo. Stay beautiful Queen, your tribe is near 😊

[@KristinaRaqs]

Me too Emily ❤

[@LucieIsAlive]

Same feeling Emily, maybe we could connect

[@smallego8068]

The difference is that those girls have no responsibilities and nothing to do except drinking water, eating and add some weird activities to their daily life to not get drowned by the insignificance of life.

[@sailstomars]

My wife and I will be having our first baby next year, God willing. This is exactly the sisterhood I seek in my 30s but I have yet to find it, even without children. Lots of light and love to you!

[@vera.2226]

Hitomi's cinematography is absolutely beautiful. The clips of her life show more than what any words could ever say.

[@liliamonsivais94]

ur so real for this

[@carolineswn4]

I was overcome with emotion when your best friend came home. I shed tears in that scene. The little screams outside the door, the little dances inside, and the group hugs. The freedom in all of your movements and joy to be in the presence of one another. It made me cry. You are so beautiful hitomi and I crave that companionship with other women so much. Thank you for sharing bits of your life and yourself with us

[@renee5335]

Hitomi. you've truly changed my life. I just can't thank you enough. I admire you profusely and am so proud of everything you've created

[@zensid444]

I always want to cry when I watch your videos. They hit such deep parts of myself. I see in you the joy and peace I am able to cultivate in my life. It makes me jealous at first, but then I remember that I too hold the key to joy, friendship, and peace. I know that jealousy is just my emotions letting me know that I am capable of such love too. I honor you, thank you for sharing.

[@RedHotChilis512]

Thank you for describing the jealousy I also feel sometimes in such a beautiful way. Really important reframing 💛

[@hamsabee1511]

Hitomi hits me with so many wise truths in such a gentle way I can actually comprehend!!

[@deepartures4166]

I started crying at the end of this video, and I couldn’t understand why..how you were talking about appreciating and loving the mundane just like made me open myself FULLY to this present moment, and tears just poured down my face cause I could feel this moment and feel immense bliss. I’m just eating udon in my pjs in my kitchen btw haha. You have the power to bring that out of us, thank you :) emotional release and accepting is soo refreshing

[@thaihwang]

you really are a poet, your life is your poetry and you capture it through narrative and storytelling

[@Daydreamerr13]

My life’s goal is to find my circle like this. I desire this more than I do a romantic relationship with any man.

[@dear._sky]

each of your videos feels like being sat down for a prayer. thankyou

[@selmavincent4137]

i don’t know if u realize how pretty that is

[@EmJ444]

That “give myself permission to age” part hit me heavy.. my 28th birthday was yesterday and it’s been bittersweet/emotional for me. I feel suddenly unbothered & powerful.. this is the first birthday in my entire life that I actually felt, older. Thank you for sharing that message with us 🤍

[@shalenah]

is your b day nov 30? if so that's mine too

[@EmJ444]

[@madelinemaclean8203]

Praying for all of us to hold true connection and friendship. The light in me honors the light in all of you, blessed be

[@katherinewolff673]

to have relationships like these.. deepest prayer

[@shreyasharma8363]

This is LIVING life!! To anyone who's not feeling the best and just existing, that's okay too. Love y'all❤️

[@b0nk3y]

why do your videos make me cry 😩 the way you talk about friendship makes me wish i had my own little community of women, living far from the city makes it so hard

[@loumry]

the topic of women embracing aging reminded me of a fantastic book by bell hooks. it‘s called communion and i can highly recommend it to everyone!⭐️

[@itsmonigo7017]

hitomi just is. and i appreciate that with all my being. it’s so refreshing and it’s so peaceful and it’s so meaningful. thank you for just being hitomi. ugh. ✨💞

[@muuu3370]

When I watch you lately I can’t help but shed tears and feel so tender and vulnerable, and I know that’s because you’re so open with your soul and emotions. Especially when you speak of family, it almost makes me feel like a vulnerable child but in a raw and human way. Thank you again for having such a wonderful safe space of a channel 💚

[@marrymerrymarypowell3091]

I resonate so with your words around 8 minutes about dating your friends and experiencing attraction without the need for action or an outcome, feeling warm rather than fed, as an asexual person that is so affirming! There's so much pressure from society to be lusting after someone and searching for their constant companionship. These soft relationships that you share feel more my truth. Thank you for your interpretation love :)

[@hanji7679]

Hitomi I just wanted to say watching your videos has been such a meaningful, healing, inspiring experience. I’m going through a breakup right now but consistent meditation (inspired by you) only draws me further into unconditional love I can find all around me… having less and less attachment and more and more of unconditional love. You are such an inspiration and I am so glad I came across your channel. Thank you Hitomi, much love. 💗

[@imani.nothando]

"making beautiful things is enough" yes yes yesss! you touch my heart with every video 💛 feeling so recharged and excited to lean into creation

[@ulalume.]

''Making beautiful things is enough'' is what I really needed to hear, and I relate a lot to your story of trying (and buying) all those different things and ending up not continuing them. I recently started ceramics too and this gives me new energy and motivation to continue, thank you a lot

[@thesubliminalqueen]

There's something about your videos that just make me feel peaceful and grounded 🥰

[@leilaridout8660]

Hey Hitomi🌺 I would love to see a book recommendation / favorite books / what I’ve been reading video from you. 📚 Your eloquence and the way you use the language to express your heart is always so inspiring to me!♥️ I would love to know what inspires you✨

[@biancagonz-o]

dating your friends is the best. friendship is love in spades

[@kardemomme3828]

Watched this video in the morning rain and had a much needed cry. Thank you for showing me what life has in store for me. I just have to be patient. Your willingness to show up as you are inspires me everyday.

[@lela1291]

You ever click off a video you’re watching because one of your favorites just posted ?

[@emmajoyceart]

I literally just did that

[@samantharodriguez2551]

Sometimes I get really sucked into online discourse and it can just make me feel so heavy but Hitomi’s videos always seem to feel like home she just reminds me to breathe and that’s super necessary for me sometimes so thanks girlie ❤

[@reginadellamorte]

Hitomi your typewriter and poetry bring tears to my eyes. I love you so

[@sophia51666]

Everytime I watch Hitomi I am reminded of the gift of presence and anchoring into passionate moments. You are my greatest and wisest teacher Hitomi, thank you for showing up as you are and guiding all of us into the blissful now we all have in front of us and reminding us what it is to be at ease with all moments

[@evereletkline8732]

Also, I had a very soft & prominent sadness this week that went majorly unnamed that I felt so safe to just BE with like never before. And this iz influenced by Your tenderness with Self. You truly make a difference in the World, Earth Angel.

I wish I had a group of friends like this!! I crave connection and authenticity but they tend to end often and I have outgrown many of my friends these days.
