"I regret being born" ~ THE SONDER SERIES EP.02

"Sonder - noun. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own."
Welcome to "The Sonder Series," where I interview random people on the street with random life questions. The goal of this series is to uncover people's stories & to create time capsule of daily life in this era.
When I film these videos I imagine watching them fifty or one-hundred years in the future and seeing how much has changed. How have our clothes changed? How has our speaking style changed? What is happening in the world?
I hope you enjoy this series, please be kind in the comments as the people participating in these videos are likely to read them.

Size söylemem gerekmediğini biliyorum ama yorumlarda nazik ol. Herkes bilmediğimiz bir hikaye taşıyor🕊 I know I don’t have to tell you guys, but please be kind in the comments. Everyone is carrying a story you don’t know🕊

[@MaRie-yt2ec]

Dear Chelsea you’re really onto something with this series. I think you found your niche. It’s the most interesting thing to people in general to learn about other people. I hope you continue with this style. You are such a kind and sensitive person so perfect for being behind the camera so thoughtfully and respectfully asking these people questions about their life. So many people in the world hate other people who are different than them and nobody stops to ask the man selling the pens what he thinks about anything, but you’ve humanized him and made him seem endearing to everyone.

although Ms. Nilüfer had the most trouble, she looks like the most positive among these people..all our Love and Respect to Nilüfer teyze 🌹 eğer bunu okuyorsa, Nilüfer teyzeye selam ve sevgilerimizi gönderiyoruz❤️

that old lady made me cry, she is sooo angel like and right

[@harukot2552]

She is not old!!! When i lived there a long time ago, people were so hung up on age.. that is one thing i did not like about Turkey..

[@midnightblue3285]

Are you kidding right ? she was one of the highly religious fanatic normes and her genetic is also mongralized The only think is feel sad she don't know what was happening on earth, she doesn't know we have diffencies between people and that is the main reason of war we are not all brothers to each other.. she doesn't know that becouse she was rised as there is no reace, peace brotherhood and equalty nonsense of freemasonary from abahramic cabal to kemalist and all the cup universalist members

[@viktoriabesmart5732]

This video shows in a beautyful way how much peeople need to interact with each other, and how meaningful it can be to actually be intersted in the others person's answer. Love the idea, love your gentleness, thank you for this experience!

[@Majeda.e]

It sad to see how negative and unappreciative the young are in this video. That older woman in the video had me crying what a kind person she is. By the way these videos are 👍 keep them coming. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@SK-tk6bi]

Don't admonish the young. They have good reasons to be negative. They didn't ask to be born into this world. Think before you speak.

[@Lunnastic]

Great to see what turks think, please more videos like this But sad that most of them are not happy

[@775.-]

video 10/10 the old lady , the girls very genuine , the lighter seller , i like the honesty hugs to them.

[@louloumcdo7066]

Merci! Nice to see what people on the street think. It makes us more human to relate to one another.💙

I don't see the point of difficulties. Why can't life be all positive?

[@sharingisgood2421]

I respect Turkish old ladies. This is interesting even people in İzmir(Probably best City of Turkey) not happy. So i cant imagine rest.

[@midnightblue3285]

Becouse of the horhors from the past

[@marilisa83]

The woman who losted a son is the sweetest ❤ The girl who said that her regret is been born, just shame. Try to live in Italy, then you'll tell me if in Turkey it's a bad life. 😅

[@user-gh3ch1jd8s]

bu video serisi çok güzel devamı gelsinnnnnn

[@AL-grhvc]

4:28 btw; he says 'kapıcıyım ben, gater'🚪, not 'Getir' 😄🙌

[@seaofroses8888]

What does that mean? Kapı is door but what is gater?

[@ChelseaElizabethIZMIR]

That’s embarrassing then because after he said that I told him how much I use Getir and love Getir…he must have been so confused😆

[@littlechestnutorchard]

@@seaofroses8888 He is a " gelgelci " , It means he is hired by a shop owner, he stands outside of the shop or restaurant and calls-invite passer-by's or prominent customers to enter the shop. At the end of the day he gets commission for each customer entered to the premises.

[@dogukan7406]

Nice idea !

[@mervegenc2790]

video is aesthetic , beatiful composition of human. It is feed from sorrows and if there is no trouble we somehow produce trouble to feel the sorrow. Thank your for your valuable observation 🌹❤

4:30 actually he says: "I am gater" not not an employee of getir 🤣

What does “gater” mean?😅

@@ChelseaElizabethIZMIR He is a " gelgelci " , It means he is unofficially hired by a shop owner, he stands outside of the shop on the streets and calls-invite passer-by's, customers to the shop he is working for.

First time he said he is a "gelgelci" but realised that you would never understand that word so he tried to translate in English as "gater" means doorman,

I know it’s a bit of a tricky topic, bur i still would like to ask you about it, since you are white american who is open enough to move away from her hometown to a muslim eurasian country, so i believe in your sincerity. Is racism really that prevalent in the U.S and is violence a problem that people have to deal with or does the media overexaggerate things and make it look worse than it actually is. I would like to move to the U.S due to the different cultures and opportunities you have and i am just curious if it’s a real matter to be prepared for or not. By the way, was the (in some terms) policital fucked up situation one of the catalyst to make you move away from the U.S and if not, i would still love to know what made you take the step, if its not too personal. Sevgiler😊

[@denisethegood]

Hearing antinatalist sentiments makes me hopeful. Life can be great but if we really think about it, it’s one cruel unfair place full of sadness and pain. Why would anyone gamble and bring another human into this madness is a concept I can’t fathom. Why don’t we first take care of life that already exists and try to make this a better world before we bring ‘the love of my life’ into this world.

[@seaofroses8888]

Sadly, few of us think this way. 😕 I’m afraid to even say it due to fear of backlash

[@SK-tk6bi]

I 100% agree with you.
