How I welcome sadness without losing myself in it

[@katieleish2446]

“I'm sad and there’s not too much to say about it” I love your level of acceptance.

[@moovieday]

My sister is having a stressful time and JUST texted me ‘I need hitomi’ …and you uploaded

[@Letsgivethisatry_]

We definitely need her 👏🏾

[@asmrasianjenjen3806]

Your sister manifested Hitomi. I needed her also. Love how calming her videos are.

LEGIT I WAS SO INCONSOLABLY UPSET TODAY AND I TRIED TO LOOK FOR HITOMI WHEN I FELT BETTER AND SHE HAD POSTED THE EXACT. VID. I NEEDED

[@Khaudyboy1]

Sorry Guys, but I couldn't resist to write few words to ask mainly why so many of us are sad, why why please?

[@yourfavouritegrl]

*Dealing with sadness* -journaling -sitting on the floor and let you feel -nutritious food -yoga -take yourself on a date -walk around the city -investing energy into a hobby -not neglecting friendships -not isolated

For the other folks in the comment section-I feel so grateful to read YOUR stories and share hitomi’s videos together. Sending love and light to you all and we are in the together

I’m going through a break up right now too. We were together 3 years and lived together for over 2. It’s been so hard, and I’ve been struggling with drowning in sadness. Thank you for sharing, you’ve inspired me to get up and do something good for myself. ❤

[@eefy11]

[@Raque1]

Girl, I feel you completely. I’m going thru a break up with someone I COULD have made a life with but chose it doesn’t fully feel right for me, and had to take my courage and do what makes me FEEL more…. because we can lose touch with ourselves. It’s tough for a Self-Actualized person to be with someone who (some how, some way, or many) causes us to lose ourselves more and more and feel less and less. We know it’s the right when we feel more expansive. So many lessons in relationships. It’s up to us to choose who we want to be with, some are short lived & some long. Our relationship with ourselves is forever and the most important, and when we start losing touch with ourselves or evolving in a way that doesn’t feel like the route for you, take chances, break ties, release yourself, and carry on. The Universe has our backs and rewards us for our courage to not accept anything less than what works for us.

[@Moon-sk8hr]

so well said. thank you for sharing.

[@ebonyyyyyyyyyy]

Thanks for sharing! I recently told myself that when I am sad, I can feel the sadness without having “find a reason” and ruminate on a negative story in my mind. I can just cry, or sing some Adele, or write something poetic, or scream some Rico Nasty and enjoy the release. This was great to watch ❤

[@imari1378]

Recently I’ve been feeling low and needed a video like this one. Thank you for your beautiful and uplifting words, your vulnerability helps me feel safe and less alone in this world. Thank you Hitomi, I wish nothing but warmness and positive energy for you 🌟

[@manonera8414]

So I will be unpopular. But I’m 54 and have achieved the romantic relationship that I was looking for after numerous relationships since my 20’s. I cannot say this is a pathway. But it has been my life. Just sharing. You are a beautiful soul.

[@elizakang1712]

Dear Hitomi and everyone: thank you for letting me feel less alone. I recently went through a break up as well, and this was the safe space I needed.

[@wannabeme68]

U know, the first few minutes into your video I have to stop and take in what you said about not letting your saddness turn into negative thinking. Thank you for being you and making these videos. You are a guru for women and all around. Goddess. Love you!! Many blessings hitomi

[@5recious]

What i love about your videos is that you share so much without sharing too much. That is part of my delay with sharing online. Doing it tactfully and gracefully without oversharing. I am also dealing with an ending of a relationship and have been for quite some time, its very painful. I overate at first and am now back 100% plantbased. I dont feel 100% better but i know im going in the right direction for myself.. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration.

[@Naomi-of9qm]

I have felt low for the past few days, and I think it's easy to feel so alone in those moments. It is so comforting to know that we are never alone and that there are always people experiencing similar emotions and energy. We are all connected. Thank you Hitomi for always highlighting this truth to me. So grateful.

[@chloefranz5167]

Wow, “I feel less lonely when I’m witnessing life happen all around me”, thank you hitomi im remembering this quote FOREVER 🥹💕

seeing someone sad makes me feel not alone, we can be sad lil earth angels sometimes ❤️

[@babyy_flower]

sitting with emotions in “a ministry of presence.” wow. your words are a balm. thank you.

[@kaahfee]

through sadness i feel we are able to see things differently. we are able to see that life holds happiness and sadness together and we need to feel both to have felt and seen fully! so i appreciate this video alot and i loved every second of the shots of turkiye!

[@validerie4474]

recently had to say goodbye to someone i thought would be in my life forever and have been feeling really sad about it too. this video made me feel so held thank you :,)

[@simmyling]

Thank you so much Hitomi for sharing so genuinely and allow us into your life. Your vulnerability helps me feel safe to feel all my feelings too as I'm also going through a rebirth. Thank you sister your light are so bright and you are so loved. 💗

[@sheeva3.0]

Hitomi, your radiant beauty and depth make me so happy! I am emotional and thankful that You exist!

[@josephjoseph9944]

Parasocial interactions r wild, but I barely have any friends, none that I can relate to this much and I don't have anyone I can go to wen I want comfort or advice abt ended relationships or sadness. So thank u endlessly for this connection. It's gotten me through many many desperate moments

[@sophielewismears]

Hitomi’s videos always help me understand what myself and almost everyone around me is going through, it’s almost like we are all on the same path but in our own individual ways. I also am going through a breakup right now and almost everything she said aligned with me. Thank you Hitomi 🌻💛

[@kbstewarttx]

the fact that i was just thinking about how i needed some advice on my sadness and i open up youtube and see that you poated a video 3 mins ago. synronicities 💖✨

[@weareenough111]

This video is so necessary, at least for me it makes me feel less alone❤

[@nozari28]

This sounds so healthy! My biggest challenge was always that the sad days were too many, and the sadness was profound and overwhelming.

[@miazimmer]

absolute perfect timing, you are my soul's angel and i look up to you with such awe and respect❤

[@meant_for_bigger_things]

Honestly you're one of the real ones for being so honest. We can be abundantly grateful but have some moments of low like the ebbs and tides of the ocean. Love how she teaches us to embrace all parts of us and life equally 💗

[@neogotmyback489]

feeling so emotional at this moment and genuinely filled with gratitude and happiness because i realize that we are all in this together, truly. there’s something so special about how one’s emotions can enable ours; when someone laughs, we laugh, when someone cries, we cry. so i’m writing this teary-eyed because this video touched me and i resonated so much with it. thank you for always keeping an open door to your experiences and emotions, hitomi, for your videos help me better understand myself!

[@gwenwen5005]

The binge eating part is so relatable. Thanks for showing me there’s another way to deal with emotion.

[@kichiaraik]

Dear Hitomi, i must thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are truly the only creator i feel so called to, that truly changed my life. I find myself thinking about your wise words every day, and i feel so inspired by each of your videos to be a little kinder, more thankful, more loving towards myself. You have helped me through tough times and i cannot thank you enough. I pray you can recieve all that your heart desires, because you are truly changing the world with your beautiful being. Thank you, on behalf of all lost souls searching for an anchor on this earth. We love you

Thank you for sharing this vulnerable part of you, Hitomi. Breakups suck and it's useful to see how you find your way through it.

[@kelseycarrasquel]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story, I remember being young and craving passionate romance that would save me from my home life as well. Hearing you tell a similar story to mine helps me not feel so alone. Sending you love as you process and grieve ❤️

[@helainawheeler8793]

I resonated with this so deeply. I am currently going through the same thing and it makes me feel less alone to see someone else working through the same emotions 💕

[@withloveshayla1798]

First I wanna say thank you for your vulnerability ❤ I resonated with so many points of this video from accepting and understanding heavier feelings to trying not to shell up during those times. It’s been something that’s been a challenge for me recently. One thing that you mentioned that stood out to me was “you have to create meaning to life it doesn’t just happen” coming from a Christian background and then needing to a take step back has been pretty confusing. I’ve been trying to understand “my purpose”. I feel like appreciating small things and putting myself out there for new experiences helps me understand bits and pieces

[@eubaram]

Sadness is just a moment, when a tired heart sleeps during a rain of tears.

[@vidhikaloya7172]

I've been feeling so low these past few days. But when i saw how you perceive sadness, it made me feel a lot calmer. Plus i love this community so much because people in the comment section reminded me that I'm not the only one who's experiencing these intense emotions. Really grateful for this experience, the people here and you.

[@K370s]

I was in the middle of watching this video this in a park, just basking in the sun and trying to embrace my emotions in nature, when these two young girls approached me with a hand written sign in their hands and asked me to read the last sentence. I read aloud, “I am beautiful.” Then they replied, “yes, you are” and carried on. So here I am crying in the park now just letting everything out. It was so touching. If you’re still reading this, please say that same sentence aloud to yourself and remind yourself that, despite the worries and hardship you may be going through, you are still a beautiful person

[@purpleoracleroyallovefamil2988]

Loved the shot you got of the two kitties in the beginning and I am so glad you decided to get the trenchcoat because it looks so good on you!! I absolutely loved that you experienced and went through those feelings and energies you had to face and then instead of letting those energies bring you down any further, you did a complete 360 degree rotation and came back on the other side, swinging! You are a light to this world and I hear turkey has some of the most sweetest people! Istanbul is in Turkey, correct? Glad you have friends around to cheer you up on remind you of your souls purpose. You rock! Much love from the west coast of Americas!

[@ayianabiddle8789]

I really appreciate your videos❤️ thank you for sharing your experiences and reflecting on your emotions. It’s difficult to accept loss of any kind and endure the pain that comes with it. I understand the binge eating when feeling down, I’ve struggled with it as long as I can remember. Going to food for comfort has been my solution for so long. Recently I’ve started allowing myself to feel my emotions instead of dulling them with food. It’s been refreshing and I’ve realized that it makes me stronger by facing discomfort. Thank you for being transparent, we’re all going through these human experiences but it helps knowing that we’re not alone in them.

My grandma died last week, and so I've also experienced a lot of sadness lately. This video was just what I needed, so thank you SO much.
