Saaaame and then an sponsor video... :( xD

[@Pessimismprincess]

Almost cried when you apologized to yourself at the end. I need to do something like this.

[@tanyajaealva]

me too

[@healthyandvegan]

I cried:')

[@shannoncooke1621]

i cried too :((((

[@titaniclvr13]

this video is like “13 going on 30” in the most wholesome and nurturing way! 💓

[@KritikaSpreadLove]

Watching this i could feel the initial discomfort I experienced watching a 26-year old acting slightly childlike But I realized that's exactly one of the things society conditions us to be uncomfy with. To put away that childlike wonder and curiousity instead of embracing joy and contentment with the simple things in life (especially for the generation that grew up without so much technology). My inner child enjoyed drawing and playing oustide, things that I've realized make me no money so I put them away for a while, only to rediscover them mrecently as a way of release and expression. Thank you Amy

[@shoug554]

omg that's exactly how i felt! but I ended up crying anyways

[@sadiezipsie3434]

sometimes if i stub my toe or jam my finger i let myself cry like a baby because my parents never let me.

[@dongysakura418]

cry as much as you because now you don't have to feel bad or like a burden. because you are free

[@RosannevanEden]

💓💓💓

[@Javijavijavi]

why did this make me cry

[@Perpetuallytrying]

I haven’t even started it yet and I’m literally already crying

[@mehayla1972]

The definition of "Inner Child" was so enlightening. I never knew that trauma could cover it like that. Seeing you reconnect and fill with joy has made my morning

[@nancycornejo3693]

I was not prepared to cry like a baby. My 15 year old self felt that “it wasn’t your fault”.

[@mariahisabelle]

“It’s SAFE now”

[@jesskneela5473]

I actually teared up towards the ending. I’ve been doing a lot of healing work and it was nice to watch this cause I try to tell myself these things. This inspired me to want to write a letter to inner child. So much I’ve accomplished and not enough praise I’ve given myself.

[@sjlehil]

i am crying like a baby at how sweet and kind and loving you are when speaking to your younger self about your life now. it's so commendable. i really hope to be able to speak to my younger self the same way one day. maybe even my current self too. love you amy.

[@BeingTiffany]

Wow, I'm crying. I'm super emotional rn and I have been for weeks. I feel like during this whole lockdown my inner child has been bursting at the seams trying to come out and I haven't been sure how to nurture and love her. I've been feeling super lost and unhappy just not knowing what to do or how to be productive and motivated. Your videos always leave me inspired and hopeful, so thank you Amy

[@documeg3133]

"Welcome home, again." To be home is to feel safe and comfortable. To be back home, with your inner child, is such a lovely experience. Thanks for this beautiful, touching video. 💛

[@fromaudreykao]

wow did not expect for this video to make me so emosh 😭 it's been an honour watching you grow into yourself, amy. you truly are an inspiration 💛

[@milky_quartz]

The concept of inner child has always triggered me because if you're someone who from day one of memory have only ever known bullying, others projects of who you are onto you, and having to hide and conceal yourself, thus learning secrecy and lying to yourself for as long as you can remember about who you are and what you like aka someone like me, who was a not straight, feminine boy with a visible physical handicap,, it meant you never were able to truly know who that "true child/inner child" was under all those ugly layers of repression and oppression. So I find myself having to absolve myself of the inner child concept and just be at peace with having to learn who I am or who I might be, my wants and my likes, as an adult, as in finding my inner self period sans a life stage/age reference, because I don't know who my inner child was and I may never know but that doesn't mean I should give up on myself or think I'm not worth the effort of self discovery and finding myself just cuz I'm not younger anymore. I'm only 23 anyways so that's still pretty young anyways.

[@stephaniem4700]

Even though you feel like you never knew your inner child, I think you can still access that youthful joy, curiosity and freedom of expression that comes from being a child. You are still that child at any age. (: I hope you get to access that and all that you are soon! You are not alone and you are safe now!

[@milky_quartz]

@@stephaniem4700 this is such a sweet reply ! Thank you, your kind sentiments fill my heart with happiness !

[@positiveaffirmations5647]

You're the older sister we needed :)

[@spiritsoulbody352]

"You are safe now. I see you, I hear you. I'm sorry for everything that's happened. It wasn't your fault." That, whew. Crying now. Thank you for this, it was beautiful!

[@CullenQuigley]

I like how much variety in shots & activity you have throughout the video. The storyline is so smooth - loved it!

[@laurasophie3059]

I cried and I’m happy about it. Thank you. Really made me think about how to honour my inner child more and to look at myself through the eyes of my younger self who would be so shocked and proud to see who I’ve become. Such a beautiful video and reminder 💕

[@Taniaver]

Amy you're such an inspiration 💜

[@rudig5698]

Right? She is so authentic and relatable 🥺❤️

[@chris_cabalona]

Thank you for this Amy! I needed this, 10 mins of anxiety break 🥰💕🦋

[@leahsfieldnotes]

Any this was so beautiful 😭😭 thank you for this💕 watching this gave me the idea to film a “date with my inner child” video! Sending you love🧚🏻‍♀️

[@casssx11]

currently tearing up in the break room at work 😭 I really needed this video and to hear this! thank you♥️

[@clarissagonzalez1829]

i cried my little eyes out , thanks for making this sweet video

[@haben7990]

You’re really just the cutest! I cried a lil in the end🥺

[@Elliebluey]

Wow, Amy. I don’t usually comment on videos, but this touched me so very deeply and I actually burst into tears. I am still shaking now. This was so beautiful. So real. So raw. There is so much my inner child has gone through, and I think it’s time for me to let go of this weight I have been carrying and hug the little child within me, care for her and let her know it was never her fault. That she is safe. That we are okay. And that we are strong. Thank you so much for making this. You are a wonderful person and I wish you all the best in life. ✨✨✨

[@SeeKaysee]

“You’re safe now” made me cry. It was so cathartic watching this. Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@whoknows-p6b]

this is why i still color. why i still randomly dance. why i make smoothies. all things i used to be proud of or love doing when i was younger. i hope i can go experience parks again! covid has me terrified of ever leaving my apartment. but hopefully i can enjoy sun and trees like i used to soon 💕

[@sidneymalia]

wow wow wow you are soo creative!! I love this video I think this is so important. Loving and caring and nurturing for yourself is probably one of the best things we can do for ourselves - but it’s also one of the most difficult

[@sophiapriaf534]

"It's safe now" and "Welcome Home, again" really got me into tears. This video is so wholesome and creative that made me think what are the things that I could show and advice to my younger self such as "you are loved and be always kind to yourself". Thank you Amy for being always a beautiful muse to us all, who are going through a journey of healing and self love. More power and love to your day and Komey ❤️🧡💛💙💚💜

[@alinalanda7192]

Ya made me cry with this one. I’m a single woman now supporting myself living alone in a new place and living out my biggest dreams. Thank you for putting what this feels like this into a visual🤍

[@marammaaroufi6093]

Awwww I loved the questions your younger self asked you🥺❤ I wrote myself a letter lately about self-love and body neutrality and what I'm experiencing in these times(you inspired me Amy,so thank you❤), Can't wait to read it in 5 years!

[@lavisiondonde]

The talk in the mirror made me cry for real. So powerful. Thank you Amy

[@kseniab8187]

Amy, it is infinitely beautiful and ever inspiring. I almost end up crying watching this because every time you manage to speak straight to my soul. Thanks for all the wonderful things you are doing.

[@christinachic6589]

So cute and thought provoking how you imagine being a child waking up in your adult body. I love that

[@denisemoore8536]

LOVE you Amy!!!!!

[@coolgirlronia7594]

I’m crying. I like to think I don’t miss childhood at all, I’ve seemingly become a lot more confident in myself over the years but. I’ve struggled with social anxiety my whole life and as a child I was very insecure and ashamed about being shy and introverted, never felt good enough for my parents and ppl who always told me to speak up and be more outgoing. I never felt like an all round valid person. Telling my inner child that it’s ok to be how I am and there’s nothing wrong with me, I really needed that. I look around my room and notice that I’ve still hold onto her, stuff Ive drawn and written are stuck to my walls, I have always loved drawing and writing stories. I don’t know what she would think of me, probably be in disbelief. If u read my ramble thank you I’m sendin u a million hearts 💕

[@SpaceMonkiiBob]

Anyone else tear up? " It's safe now" really got me, haha I experienced so much pain and sadness as a child, this video really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing, Amy.

[@kimberlyguerrerolmedo]

Amy you hold such a special place in my heart. Thank you for this video, it was beautiful. It meant a lot and I don't think I'll be able to express it here but just know you touch my past 8yr olds heart. There were so many things I related to, like not wearing color. I was just talking about this topic a few moments ago. I am so thankful for you and your vulnerability. You have helped me so much and I literally always talk about you to people because ur content and ur spirit have helped me so much. I am so grateful for you. I hope you have a magical day, thank you

[@elissamirinda3351]

"It wasn't your fault" Jesus that made me cry

[@alejandranasser4487]

this video is going into the toolbox of when i need support in lending myself a hand. it’s not a space for judgement but a space for care, healing and gratitude. much luv babygirl 🧡🥭🧡

[@SunilSingh-up7lu]

This made me emotional. I am 17 now and I look and see how far you ave gone since you were younger. I want to be like that when I get older. I want to be able to love myself and be happy. I want to be able to look back one day like this and say "see you made it, just like I said you would". Thank you Amy for being such a ray of light in my life and helping me see that I am more important then I feel.

[@IreneSkylar]

i'm turning 23 this week and my wish this year is to be happy with myself. this video became the introduction to a new lifestyle of forgiving myself and being unapologetic about who I am. thank you amy :,)

[@alanadyer9571]

I've so often thought about and wondered what my six year old self would think of where I am today. This happens in small, short moments, like when I'm sharing laughter with friends I never thought I'd have, or laying in a cozy bedroom in my own house away from family. But I've never been able to articulate it like you have, and seeing that feeling brought to life through this video was the kind of affirmation that both myself and my inner child needed. This is one of the most thoughtful and kind videos I've ever seen, and I can't thank you enough for putting it out here.💓

[@butterbeer8651]

I cry at most of your videos, not in a bad way, but in a cathartic way that releases so much that needs to be let go. I am on a journey of my own, focusing on internal work. I hope one day I will be at peace with who I am, what I've done or haven't done in my life, and truly love myself. Can't say my younger self would be pleased with where I ended up, but I'm hoping that one day they will be proud of me. Thanks for sharing your video

[@allyasantos1237]

amy.. ♡︎ you know that you’re magical right? thank you for being YOU! the worlds needs this. ✨✨

[@marammaaroufi6093]

THANK YOU PANDORA FOR SPONSORING THIS AMAZING WOMAN!❤❤😌

[@yassydelrey]

I watched this with the biggest smile ever. Thank you for bringing her home, and for taking all of us back home to ourselves as well. ❤️

[@taromochi1]

I cried so much. Thank you for reminding me that I was once a child. And now I’m in the process of remembering who I was before the world got its hands on me.. ‘You are safe here. Thank you for everything.’

[@wyni5614]

This video literally inspired me to write down all the things I enjoyed as a kids and I ended up creating 2 paintings. I felt a sense of calm and happiness in that entire process. Videos like these feed the soul ✨☀️😌🙂

[@ForTheNextGate]

I cried... :( This is so beautiful.. I hope one day my inner child will be happy of who I've become too.. I've let them down...

[@marammaaroufi6093]

The Harry Potter one and the dolphin one are so pretty! 🥺

[@mylifeinfilm95]

Amy, idk if you’ll see this comment. I always think the universe has a greater plan. I began watching your videos not so long ago. And you came in at such vital moment in my life. I recently ended a 2 year relationship with an abuser and it’s been so hard to get by some days. Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank you for inspiring to keep moving forward because I deserve happiness. I hope one day I can look back to this moment and my life and realize that it’s moments like this that are key to growing❤️

[@astadiaries]

Amy, this is such an incredible video. Thank you for the message you are sharing in it. We should all love ourselves no matter what and honor our inner children. It inspired me to spend more time doing things I loved as a child, instead of loading myself with judgements and criticism. It just simply makes no sense. We should stay true to who we are, to our souls, our higher selves and our inner children. As adults we become our worst critics and we perceive ourselves through comparison. I realized that it's such a worthless thing to do!. We have to be grateful for every moment we are given to live on this beautiful planet and enjoy simple things in the same way as we did it in our childhood. Thank you for reminding me that.

[@jillian5885]

yes yes yes !!!!!! I'm 21 and recently I have found myself craving childhood shows/movies and wanting to roller skate and I've been ignoring it. I have a voice in my head that tells me that I should be doing something else (ex: adults do this). this video came at the perfect time and I will nurture my inner child. thank you Amy!!!!!

[@romicrabart1735]

You make me cry, cry of joy for you, and for me because now I know that I'm on the right path too. Thanks for being you and shared with us.

[@mackenzieferg9254]

So early love you Amy!!!

[@riturner]

I loved this so much

[@improudofthem]

This video is a piece of art for my heart. I've realized not too long ago that I am becoming (again) who I was as a child after years of trying to be what everyone else wanted me to be. Just yesterday I wrote a lot about this in my notes and now you dropped this video. I felt it very deeply. Thank you Amy, you're such an inspiration

[@imjustnia1692]

Wow, Amy, This is so beautiful thank-you so much for opening up and sharing this with us. I couldn't help but cry a little. It was extremely therapeutic watching this thank-you for being your authentic self

[@jaykittenzombie]

I’m not sure why this specific video immediately had me crying ..but like a little lightbulb in my head just clicked . Probably one of the best realizations that could have happen in this freeze frame of my life . thank you 🦋💕

[@sandiswawiti9920]

This is beautiful. We need to go back at times and look at the things we wanted back then, that we know have and just appreciate and celebrate those things, big or small. The video is beautiful and inspiring as always. You make the internet a better place Amy

[@TheSosofolo]

We all have a piece of childhood that we carry with us. I find this video so inspirin and very aesthetically pleasing🥺. Lovely way to start out my day

[@dream-lab]

Such a beautiful way to also show how we can practice gratitude and mindfulness in our adult lives.

[@siyyya]

I love how true to you your sponsored content is. None of it feels forced.

[@jessicag9821]

Well jeez, I wasn’t expecting to cry like this. But it feels good. This was so beautiful and a message that I, and many others in the comments, needed. Thank you Amy ♥️

[@gensparty]

Oh my god. Amy! You are a TOTAL genius. I’ve always been a huge fan of all your videos but this one’s THE best. Thanks for soothing all our inner children. Bless yours, too, of course. Love you😚

[@megbrown2732]

The power of seeing the words It's safe now. I see you. I hear you. The strength in this message is so profound. I am saving this as a video to look back on because Amy what you have just created is such a beautiful work and will be so powerful for many other people as well. All I can say is thank you I needed to see and hear these messages. Lots of love, Meg.

[@owo-yx9gw]

God i wish I remembered what my younger self was like, i lost so many memories due to depression and years of repressed emotions & trauma, healing my inner child is a very tough journey but I’m willing to go through it no matter what. Love you Amy, you’re one if my favorites

[@mirandaleffler]

the way in which you produce your content really reflects the incredible care you put into it and it really inspires me and makes me happy

[@hellonhoell]

This video was amazing in so many ways. Thank you Amy for being you and sharing who you are because it's making us all feel like "it's safe now" and we can all heal together. You are a light! Sending you love and gratitude.

[@julilau2220]

I burst into tears when you wrote "you're safe now"😭😭💘

[@floridagirl432]

“Welcome home, again” 🥺🥺 I’m not crying, you are.

[@p8735]

amy out here making me CRY at 4PM

[@SamElle]

omg IM ON THE PATH TO FIND MY INNER CHILD!!! It's something I'm working with my therapist on! There has been soooo many things and trauma that I had to first address before I can find my inner child. There has been many tears and thinks to unwrap but this process has been really revealing about the person I have become and how different situations have shaped me

[@LifeIsForSinging]

wow already started crying when you were in awe of your puppy. beautiful video. I'm so proud of myself for connecting to my inner child again this year, and giving myself the emotional validation i need/needed :') Holding myself and it feels like the most powerful love I've ever received. Thank you for sharing your authentic self, thank you for this mirror. i love you.

[@pfffts9207]

Amy I really want to thank you so much 💜💜 you encouraged me to start going to therapy and today is my 3rd time going :D

[@nijhayoung]

This made me (or perhaps it was my inner child) cry. So SO happy for you and all you've accomplished inside and out!🙌🏾 I definitely needed to see this video and I thank you for all you've done and continue to do!☺️💜

[@stephaniejlim1]

This video made my heart swell. I also cried. But in a good way. The kind of tears that come from being "in your emotions." :') Thank you for honoring your inner child w/ us all, Amy! It's so inspiring + makes me want to further my journey inwards too. ♥️

[@LL-SY]

Omg Amy this made me burst in tears! Forever protecting my inner child from the outside world 💛💙

[@thankfuljohn2979]

Thank you, Amy!🌹

[@saphirah2003]

This made me cry, thank you! This helped to let me see what I have in my life, what I've archieved and I needed someone to remember how far I have come! Lots of love!

[@kellyfernandx]

the end made me tear up. that was so beautiful to watch and i will definitely work on my own inner child thanks to your influence.

[@Pepperz543]

Amy you are so pure, in that you radiate so much positive energy! I love you & your videos make me feel recharged. Keep thriving & keep feeding that inner child! ❤️

[@chandlerisabel]

I don't remember the last time I commented on a KZbin video...probably years ago, but I felt so moved by this video that I had to tell you!! This is by far the best video on KZbin I've ever seen. I wanted to say thank you, this video and these words have helped me incredibly, it was such a beautiful reminder, that we are safe, we are heard, and we are the writers of our own story. Thank you beyond words. You are such an inspiration!!

[@ZithobeM]

Your content has been so great for my well being Amy 😭 i learn so much from you with every video. I love you!

[@angelicalc13]

why am i crying at 7am watching this? it was so beautiful, thank you Amy

[@helennguyen4641]

Love u so much Amy!!!

[@tarabagherlee958]

I never leave comments on KZbin but this video was really everything I needed. I have always loved your content so much because of the emphasis you put on healing, authenticity, and advocating for yourself/others, but this really resonated as someone who's inner child has needed some extra love. You're the best Amy and I'm so proud of you even if I don't know you. :~)

[@vickisigh2674]

when i say that this is so beautiful and made me cry...........

[@magicunfolds]

I think this is you best video so far. I can't describe how good, calm and safe I feel right now. Thank you

[@matildeaglaee]

Amy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video. You have no idea how much I needed this, and I can’t imagine how many others did also. I’ve been trying to tune my inner child for the longest and this inspired me to channel her again. 🖤✨

[@catherinedickerson9942]

Amy I have been watching you for a LONG time and it's just so awesome and inspiring to see you grow and move forward ❤️ I'm always like "if Amy can do it, I can do it!" Thank you for being in this world and being yourself ✨

[@JenniferXia]

I’m sorry for everything that’s happened...you are safe now are words I didn’t know I or my inner child needed to hear. Thank you for sharing this with us 💛

[@ezekielevardo6918]

"It's safe now" and "Welcome home again" ily Amy💙💚

[@christinechung3749]

Amy, thank u for this beautiful video. It made me realize how much my inner child was hurting. Towards the end, I started bawling my eyes out without even realizing. Much love ❤️

[@jessicacortes08]

I not crying, you are crying!!! Love you so much ! You really touched my inner child!

[@jessehiggason]

Amy I just found your channel and I don’t have the words to really explain how much your videos are helping me. You’re an amazing light in the universe thank you so much.

[@hellom6533]

I had to pause the video several times because I keep on crying. Thank you, amy.

[@Enchantelle]

the messages you wrote to yourself got me emotional. thank you for this! you're an inspiration ❤️
