"Sooner you can be you, Sooner people looking for you will find you" - This has to be the best inspiring quote I have ever heard.

[@zainabsuleyman621]

I came to write that❤

[@melaniegriesemer]

Ohh yes this really resonated!!

[@_NayomieMcLeod]

Omg this! I’m saving !! ❤

[@NewSekaaGongJaksel]

Great quote❤

[@beatricecajetan2632]

bro saaaame, literally just stopped for a sec to fully appreciate it

[@JayFriedrichs]

“The sooner you can be the you, the sooner people looking for you… can find you.” Gave me chills

[@splostsurfer]

Yeah… that was deep

[@nerdextraterrestre4390]

Chills, literally chills 🎉❤

[@bertrandmchenry]

Yep this was THE one!!

[@Reykob70]

“Preparation meets opportunity” ❤❤❤ Congrats for that first 100k Riza! I’m very happy for you that finally YT recognize your talent and more people are finding your content, you will inspire a lot of people with your videos and your reflexions. And now... Go for the 1M!! ☺️🤗

[@findingyara]

Sometimes I’m worried that long-form content slowly starts to become less relevant and disappear over time, since everyone got used to quick entertainment through short-form videos like Tiktoks and KZbin shorts. I can tell you put so much thought and effort into your videos and the fact that you’re getting recognition for it makes me very happy. You deserve the success and I hope you'll continue to succeed with your projects. Very inspiring!

[@rickleow736]

100%

[@afsheen792]

i have 100% noticed this. it seems like after 2021-2022 with the whole mr beast thing, everyone moved completely to tiktok and kinda forgot about youtube (guilty...). now that im back, youtube is so confused about what to recommend to me and was only recommending me about 2-5 minute videos which i found so odd because why would i go to youtube to watch such short content... but then i realized it was literally just on the videos i and others had RECENTLY watched. so now im trying to go through my subscriptions and rewatch some old fav long videos

[@AimaOj.]

And now you're over 200k subscribers. If this isn't inspiring, I don't know what else is. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Riza!

[@Ruylopez778]

The key to "success" is endurance, perseverance and enjoying the process, not being focused on the response. In creative work, it's important to keep making new things, and keep learning, because it's finding your voice and mastery that will find an audience.

[@jade7688jsjs]

I love this

[@user-nv7br9be7l]

"Preparation meets opportunity " - hits me 💚. Thank u so much Riza for all these videos.

[@austinmcconnell]

This was a really fun watch! All the best going forward.

[@cinnakuuri]

26 seconds early, probably my fastest record on clicking a video 🤣 congrats, riza! it feels surreal seeing your 7 years' worth of work pay off in 3 weeks. here's to more videos of you documenting and cherishing your 20s 😊

[@LifeOfRiza]

thank you so much!! 💛

[@Manila-7]

why is nobody talking about your editing skills? everything is so coordinated, music, clips, the shots are perfect, the audio (which to me is the hardest part) is literally perfect, and you make it seem so effortless...I'm speechless, thank you for sharing these pieces of art with us❤❤❤

[@wnms]

HUUUGE congratulations! You deserved it! Yes, preparation meets opportunity, and you made a lot of preparation, it is visible in the level of cinematography that you are at. A lot of work under the hood. It is also a lesson to all of us who want to get the silver plate button - we have to study hard and work hard, use the time in obscurity to hone our craft. And then... Let our creativity express ourselves.

[@Adventureswithbecky]

"So in hindsight, don't listen to anybody". Such a great message and this was so inspiring!

[@michelleelee00]

i almost NEVER comment on youtube videos, but i couldn't not congratulate you on this well-deserved accomplishment :)) like everyone else is saying, your storytelling is amazing and the shots you take are so fun and high quality. you're literally one of the only channels i watch videos all the way through. hope you keep finding success in this 💛

[@LifeOfRiza]

Thank you so much!!

[@anniefox231]

Your vlogging is some of the most cinematic and artful that I’ve found here on KZbin. Congrats! I’m so happy to be following and supporting your channel during this pivotal moment!

[@keyuhn]

It was incredible to watch you develop to this stage from the start. I saw you achieve 3k subscribers and now you're approaching 300,000 subscribers. You actually motivate individuals to create and develop their talents. I hope to see you develop further in the future.

[@LifeOfRiza]

Thank you for sticking with me😭💛

[@JordanS-ww4eu]

@@LifeOfRizawhat’s your last name

[@RomanceDusk]

Congratz! You and Colt are really changing up the Vlogging Genre on KZbin. Its like watching an episode of a TV Series, but with the POV of a creator. Usually I don't get such a vibe while watching vlogs!

[@yagurlsai988]

thissssss! It always feels like I’m watching a coming of age movie everytime I watch a video and I love it

[@hannahdigitals]

So happy for you! Love the quality of your videos

[@kanatembangraras2918]

Hi Riza, thank you for making this inspirational videos. Actually one of your video bumped on my home page, i started to watch it and then i can't stop watching all of your videos. I mean, these are great! i love the cinematography, the music you choose, and certainly you as person. Please don't stop creating and i'll always support you

[@bunnysoul.7]

"Sooner you can be you, Sooner people looking for you will find you" So proud of you Rizz, Congratulations !!

[@Kaiokened]

I’ve missed seeing this woman and her videos. Glad this one came through my home feed.

[@slicesoflifebyherido]

I’m proud to be one of the 200k subscribers! (And counting!) You, Riza, are the reason why I gained courage to start my own youtube channel, too. Ever since I watched your “Be the main character of your own life” two months ago. That video really inspired me. And I’ve decided to pursue my film making career because of you! Thank you so much! You are awesome!

[@rinatriesstuff]

Thank you for the inspiration when I need it the most 😭

[@evelyntea3150]

So proud of you! I relate so much to what you said about "chasing your dreams isn't linear". And it really hits home when you said, "the sooner you can be you, the sooner people looking for you will find you". Thank you and keep inspiring!

[@glorysstories]

I resonate with this sooo much. I’ve been along just about the same journey as you. your filmmaking is a big inspiration, and this story brings a lot of comfort, that your “overnight success” wasn’t just overnight. So thank you for posting

[@Seetyo]

I feel so inspired!! 😄 Going to start filming my next video right now, thank you so much❤

[@divisher]

been going through hard times, thank you sm for this

[@pavani7829]

This made me cry, like I'm just sooo happy for you. Huge huge congratulations, but I also want to say watching your videos... inspires me in a way I haven't felt in so so long. You made me remember i have dreams and even if I fall like a 100 times, I should try chasing them. Your video's feel like my old favourite movies, even though i'm watching them for the first time. I think this channel will only continue to grow exponentially, because every video is a beautiful movie that feels like it'll stay with you or you want to watch over and over again, to feel the way you did the first time. Thank you for exploring your dreams, sharing them with us and not giving up. Here's to many many many more stories and subscribers.

[@LifeOfRiza]

Im gonna cry reading this 😭 thank you so so much ❤️

[@HexlGaming]

5:30 this hit's so close to home. it always felt like the video one was working on was going to be THE ONE, but then most of the time nothing happend

[@rosanacepeda6079]

I remember seeing your first vlog and not being able to believe you had so little followers because the quality, storytelling, and your presence was amazing. Not surprised you grew quickly after that first video. Hope you never loose love and passion for what you are doing and would continue doing just this, what you really love and feel passionate about. It is going to be a real pleasure being one of your subscribers.

[@makariespe]

Thank you for the daily dose of motivation to keep going with my channel. I appreciate you!

[@DanielsBrew]

The one thing that's really impressed me about your videos is that they are extremely well shot. Your composition/storytelling and the scene selections blend well together. And I love how humble you are - you've got a lot of talent and your sub count is well deserved.

[@adwaithsarma7322]

This video is special-one I’ll always come back to. Love your work:)

[@Purplesky-yx6yx]

I was thinking of getting into filmmaking but just havent been able to do it for some time, but i think your videos were the final push i needed, your content is beautiful!! You deserve the biggest ever youtube success, you make such perfect videos its insane, thank you so much

[@uugand]

I found your channel just a week ago and addicted. I also have a same dream of becoming a filmmaker but of course facing some struggles. Your videos give me much needed push. Thank you Riza!

[@smitboraniya6752]

This quote resonated with me, “The sooner you can be you, the sooner people looking for you can find you.”

[@StillCine.Pictures]

Riza, you have a healthy perspective of life at a very young age. Keep doing what your doing!

[@studiosoul]

This is so inspiring. ‘ stop doing what you don’t want and do you what you want to do’! Makes sense! I love how the story developed and ended by bringing back the unopened package from the beginning then you end by opening it. Even tho we all knew what it was, it still felt quite powerful storytelling device!

[@EasySundayClub]

I never comment on YT but just want to say you've inspired me to up level my own video production. You're going places and I can't wait to see you direct a feature film :).

[@RetroBreak]

So happy you listened to your friends and uploaded that first vlog episode! I’ve watched it several times and it’s honestly one of my favourite videos to revisit on KZbin now! Your music selections and editing are inspiring! Can’t wait to see what you do in the future! The message of making what you want to make rang very true to me, for the past few years now I’ve been stuck making videos for other people who asked me to review / promote things once my channel started getting more popular. Now I’m pushing back a lot more and trying to take it in my own direction!

[@TicketstoToyTime]

So happy to see you hit 100k (well technically 225k now)! The gold play button is coming up!

[@SaveTheNations]

This video spoke to me.. The last few days I’ve felt so tired by the fact nothing I do on KZbin seems to be working. Despite my subscribers saying they really enjoyed every new upload and how underrated my channel is. This video was in some way a reaffirmation for me to keep going regardless. Thanks Riza 🙏🏾

[@ergosteur]

Beautiful storytelling as always :) your videos are just a joy to watch. Congrats on the 100K!

[@farhanfahrezi6481]

finding ur channel is one of the best things that happened to my life in recent days. thank u for making great videos and putting warmth, as well as genuine love and passion upon them. and thank u for being alive

[@AerialWaviator]

Great life messages in all your videos .. from finding yourself, to waiting for life to happen, to learning what might be holding you back, to finding success in a mindset, to getting life together. What a journey the last couple years have been, and will continue to be. Like many, I enjoy your perspectives on life, and the keeping it real as you chase your dreams. Congrats! BTW: It's a bit ironic, seeing a video calibrating 100k as your channel is about to pass 225k subscribers.

[@SmallBlogV8]

I found this video 7 months after it was uploaded. After watching you celebrate 100k I looked across and I see that you're now at 552k! Talk about momentum!

[@__matvey]

Hey Riza! Just wanted to say a massive congrats on the milestone, this is just the beginning :). I found your channel a couple of months ago and I didn't realize that I found it at such a pivotal point in terms of subscriber count/viewership; I was blown away by the creativity and effort you put into your videos and how inspirational they always are. Every single video is inspiring in a slightly different way but it all comes together to brighten up the mood and motivate me in some way. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@ikei_tokyorabbit]

it's really an inspiration👏🏻completely expressed the feelings well at the stage where creator's videos haven't taken off😢

[@sehwek]

“the sooner you can be you, the sooner people looking for you, will find you.” that must be one of the most beautifully-put statements I’ve ever read…

"The sooner you can be you, the sooner people looking for you can find you, and that is when it begins." I'm speechless... so true!

I don't know why but I cried when she opened the box. I felt so happy for her as if all her efforts and struggles were being acknowledged and rewarded. Well done and thank you for inspiring me to keep going with my own channel!

The cinematic quality of your videos is just amazing. The camera angles, editing, and pacing I just adore. Please continue to produce work in this fashion!!

[@theasianjenn]

I love the “preparation meets opportunity” thought! ❤

[@wordspics]

The effort and care you put into these videos is so evident. You ARE a cinematographer btw, I know because I was a DP in real life so to speak. It all comes down to story and you make the right choices to complement the narrative, wide shots when overwhelmed, close ups and crouching when confiding, riding your bike across the scene, it’s so pretty to watch. Keep it up, but most of all, have fun and enjoy what you’re doing!! 🎉🎉😊😊

[@LostsJourney]

So amazing listening to you tell your story, and have it resonate so much, your start, to what I am going through now just hits hard. Your videos are amazing and inspiring. Thank you

[@im_just_vidu]

The way your videos gives such a nostalgic vibes, & how they make me feel peaceful, I think that's what captured my eyes at first. I'm happy you're closer to your dream now. Congratulations Riza 🎊

[@Richard_Leon]

This really spoke to my soul… thanks for the motivation! It’s all I want to do too!

[@LostPics]

THIS video pops up in my recommendations. And i really admire your great talent for storytelling. The whole vibe feels like a warmth hug, masterclass execution in camera, editing and colorgrading. Thanks for sharing your sensible and honest thoughts. It made my evening. Merci. Dont know if you read this, but somehow i want to share it with you. Because internet should be a place to share positive stuff, emotions.

This cinematic cozy storytelling chill vibe vlog style, is exactly what I've been wanting to do... but I felt like youtube algorithm wasn't going to favor me so I never even tried. (I mean I have made tons of videos, just not posted them..)

[@rewrew5762]

You single handedly changed the way I viewed life. I found you about 4 weeks ago, I stumbled upon "that one video". Then I kinda spiraled into your life :) You give me an indescribable feeling of excitement for the world. And I can't wait to get to your level of cinematography and talent. You are my favorite KZbinr by far! Congrats ❤️

[@Eda-Gunes]

You are such a great inspiration ❤I just found your channel and fell in love with your style and content. I checked up your first videos and I was thinking wow how does she film so good even in her first videos and now it makes sense that you were interested in being a cinematographer since childhood and I also saw a comment that you were a filmmaker (well you still are, I think :) I wasn't into filmmaking but I also wanted to start a KZbin channel for a loooong time and I finally did!! And now I'm also into cinematography, filmmaking and storytelling.. Will try to find my style and hopefully it will be soon, as you say "Sooner you can be you, Sooner people looking for you will find you" 💖

[@sostoopid]

okay lets be honest seeing you finally achieve your deserving fruit just feels so good idk why, your accomplishment is making me happy by heart congrats riza, we gonn support you!

[@sorelles_world]

I've just come across your channel in the last week, and I've been binging your episodes! Your cinematography and message are both beautiful and poetic. Thanks for being an inspiration and expander for me to know this is possible and to just have fun with the process.

[@Metalynx7000]

I can say that after 2:40 mins, I really really really admired your scenes and colors. You are doing great work, I bet that you will reach 1.000.0000 subs until August 4, 2023

The style of this channel is so relaxing, im glad i found this channel

Love your production value! I appreciate all of the work that must have gone in behind the scenes as well as before you achieved this much success on KZbin! You're clearly a professional, keep up the good work :)

Keep Growing!!!❤

I saw so many of these kind of videos, YT is full of those…. But this one, somehow touched me. Your calm and clean style, your mastery of storytelling…. You are good, and you are sooo young but sooo wise. Respect.

[@24filipinagirl]

From the start of the video and the aura/feeling this video gave, I just want to give you an endearing hug. It's beautiful to see where you've reached and how you allowed yourself to share your talent and hard work to the world. I've been wanting to open a KZbin channel for over a decade now but I keep holding back, despite being supported and encouraged by others and reminded of my potential. I hold a lot of fear of failure and not being good enough or simply chosen by the algorithm. But seeing you hold the KZbin plaque brought tears to my eyes and I know that KZbin is a dream of mine that will not stay just a dream. I look forward and will find my way to reach that point soon, thank you for being so inspiring and genuine Riza. Congrats on all your success
