my biggest struggle...

[@amandarachlee]

THE BEGINNING is so cute omg

[@BeanGuy01]

oh

[@pikarar]

im obssessed with the beginning

[@cinemuan]

Moonrise Kingdom

[@aishathshaniya9069]

"when you keep showing up for life, eventually life will show up for you". THIS IS MY STICKY NOTE REMINDER FOR THIS WEEK. THANK YOU!!

[@ayshah5373]

AHHH the storytelling is 🙇🏽‍♀️ every time i’m in a creative rut (which is quite often), my first response is to come to both your channels. Never fails to amaze me, chills, literal chills!

[@IInferno]

Personally, my biggest struggle is deciding which coordinated upload from you or Colt to watch first..

[@senovin]

Exactly ikr! 😭

[@kyle.thinks]

I’ve never seen something capture my life so perfectly

[@pedrorealfernandes]

Same 😂

[@YusufOnder]

Always ladies first 😅

[@LifeOfRiza]

Good struggles though 😂🫶🏼

[@FlorenceRyan]

“The life you choose to live only really has to make sense to you” YES!! You don’t need to justify your choices or anything to anyone, not even yourself! If you know you know

[@jacobsjourneyside]

I needed to hear that, thank you so much, Florence!

[@thelifewithnate]

Slowly realizing that myself as I have this project along with my other passion project that I am living. If you know, you really do know.

[@Raghad-ze7rq]

There is a word I heard recently made me think of you among other authors, Moledro: a feeling of resonant connection with an author or artist you'll never meet, who may have lived centuries ago and thousands of miles away but can still get inside your head and leave behind morsels of their experience, like the little piles of stones left by hikers that mark a hidden path through unfamiliar territory.

[@thelifewithnate]

Interesting concept! Another one that I have recently discovered with other authors is the Japanese concept of ikigai. The Japanese concept of referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living. Trying to wrestle with that as I explore building a KZbin channel and other projects at the same time.

[@MiguelCreditoTalks]

Every video Riza makes is an auto-click for me. I just love your storytelling style. Thank you! ♥♥

[@LifeOfRiza]

thank YOU! 🙌🏼

[@kierlak]

I am so happy for how far you've come as a content creator. 6 months ago I left a comment under your (now most watched video) that your channel deserves more recognition. I think you were at maybe around 40k subscribers. And now almost 500k 😎 Keep you doing what you're doing. The quality of your content is so high.

[@wanzaki6019]

When you keep showing up for life, eventually life will show up for you. I love that sentence. Thank you for sharing it. Been having difficulty with my own journey currently and your video inspire me to do more. Im not a creator or anything, but i hope to build something of my own eventually. Btw, both you and Colt are so cute. Wish you both the best!

[@UndinesOcean]

Happy New Year and best of luck on your journey! Every voice has an important message to send to someone, so don't let yourself discouraged by starting fresh, while so many voices already speak loud out there. 🙏🏼❤️

[@thelifewithnate]

You got this! I can definitely emphasize with the feeling of difficulty with my own creator journey with this project and others. But take it slow, results take time and patience. Definitely learning that as I go along.

[@manupelegrino]

I'm starting to get that feeling of "...but I've been here since the beginning!" and I love it. So happy for you, Kariza

[@BoboWay]

I’m such a fan of your work, and it inspires me a lot. Actually I also started documenting my life . Thanks for sharing your experiences with us 💪🏻.

[@markwilkins9048]

I’m an older guy,,,no doubt much older than your target audience and most likely the peeps that follow you. But I really enjoy your videos for one simple reason,,,they make me feel a sense of peace. I realize you have a message in every video, and I’ve seen others talk about your cinematography and ability to marry music with each scene, etc….. But honestly, your videos just make me feel good. Thank you for your content.

[@dyidyii]

kariza, you are such a big inspiration to me! I hope that someday I will inspire others, too, as you did to me. I don't know how many times I cried watching your videos

[@dyidyii]

I know now the feeling of creating content and having this impact. And I am not constantly posting comments or liking a video, but since you made this in such a good way and at a perfect time, I have no choice but to express myself in the comment section, haha

[@akintheagent]

I only just found your channel but man - I'm already a fan for life! Glad you found your passion, and here's to a big 2024!

[@jeriineniicole]

Love this video! You are a literal inspiration to so many people especially Filipino Canadians out there!! Thank you for showing up ❤

[@NeurodivergentMom]

Your videos are filled with so much OPTIMISM... and that's the best part. They leave you feeling good about yourself. Incredible.

[@beMOTIONdESIGN]

Seriously blown away with your storytelling. It's inspiring! Thank you!

[@glaucesantana8226]

Hi Riza!! I have recently found your channel this year, and I am so glad I stumpled across it. Every one of your videos feels like it should belong to a museum, of how *beautiful* you make your videos. I love your videotagraphy, and Can't wait to see more! Thank you

[@chloeshih]

the intro is the most beautifully told story ever!!

[@AlyLourim]

"you become more of what you do" the way that hit DEEP and made me choke up. such a short quote but such a big impact, thank you for sharing that 🥺🤍

[@carasway_]

Thank you Riza! I started creating videos pretty much around the same time you posted the main character video, and I've been following your journey since then, I love all the messages you put out in your videos, but this video in particular is exactly what I needed to remind myself to keep it simple as I also find myself overcomplicate things so much when creating. so thank you! Lots of love xx

[@LifeOfRiza]

Simple is key! ❤️

[@maryyou556]

can't we just appreciate how aesthetically pleasing this person is ?? both look so adorable and lovely !!Riza I ' d love to watch ur movies 🥰😊

[@robel_yoseph]

Hey Riza, your videos are simply amazing. I wanted to tell you that I’ve gained a lot of inspiration from them and hope to implement the advice in my own journey. Thank you for sharing and look forward to your story unfolding

[@doodleh9318]

Girl u are soo soo inspiring...I always wanted to do vlog of my life but being introvert I am always sceptical ...but after following u from last one year I am so ready to start my own channel... thanks for being such inspiration....u are and always will be my fav along with Gawx...

[@shansarabia2111]

I'm literally in love with your content! I wanted to start creating content and have been caught up with the typical type of vlogging and I came across your channel. You're my no.1 inspiration rn!

[@beatrizhapuque]

This is honestly one of my favorite channels! Your storytelling is just amazingggg I love everything about this video!😍

[@thelifewithnate]

Just discovered your channel and what an amazing storytelling talent that you have! So warm, aesthetic, and most importantly touching as well. Definitely very new to the KZbin game, but excited to study some videos that you have and learn from you.

[@NickDionisio]

girl you really got me tearing up on a Wednesday morning after that Moonrise Kingdom intro Lord have mercy

[@LifeOfRiza]

😂❤️

[@Stillformulating]

Aaa! The Wes andersom intro is everything, beautiful video🎉

[@elly_j]

Hi Riza, I am also shy, so when I heard you mention that this time last year, you were shy and unhappy with your work, it literally brought tears to my eyes. In a world where social media seems dominated by outgoing individuals, I was struggling to find a place for myself. It wasn't until I saw your video that It shows a way of how quieter people can also beautifully express themselves. So about two months ago, I finally had the courage to start my own channel. I've drawn so much inspiration from you, not only in the way you tell a story and shoot videos but also whenever I feel lonely on this journey. I come back here and remind myself that i just need to stay focused and carry on being myself. Thank you for being there. ❤

[@LifeOfRiza]

There is a place for everyone when you start being yourself ❤️ thanks for being here!!

[@laurafandino9783]

This is the mere beginning for you Riza, you are INCREDIBLY underrated right now.

[@tdrg_]

You guys are the last people on Earth sending paper letters to each other. Lovely, you two make an awesome pair! 🙌

[@seemcat]

"you become more of what you do" gosh i love your videos

[@VuBui]

Yay you came to Stockholm! During one of the best Decembers we’ve had in many years. I have followed your channel for over a year now and it’s amazing to see what you’ve done and what a great life you’ve built! Hope Sweden was very good to you.

[@sol.travel.guides]

Your videos are such an inspiration!

[@gracedevries2076]

This is so encouraging and heart warming! Looking back and reflecting How far you've come is so wise! Sometimes I'm so surprised when I look back! I never want to be the same person I was a year ago! The saddest parts of your videos is when they end. 😭

[@febzdiary]

this is like a movie. I just love it so much. I can't help watching them all over and over again. so if I comment twice on these videos and I forgot? apologies. I just love watching them all in a playlist

[@Yoyoadventure]

The beginning reminded me of a Wes Anderson movie, this was so cute and well made happy you found your way !

[@ljac_1314]

your videos with colt and colt's videos with you are like love letters to each other. Modern day love letters. :)

[@tanyakuchynskaya]

The best KZbin couple 🤍 thank you, guys, for all your videos ! You’re a great inspiration ✨

[@zaid9x]

I want to cry, guys this is the type of content I've been dying to see. I'm so glad I found my niche again after ages. I don't how to explain to you guys how happy and emotional I am while typing this message. I feel so alive and you guys have sparkled my creativity. Much Love guys.

[@ammareffendy3006]

I honestly have no idea how you pull of these creative shots and have such amazing storytelling but it just seems so effortless!

[@itsteeandtea]

Hey Kariza, we absolutely love your videos and take so much inspiration from you for our own channel. Just want to say thank you! ❤️

[@DeVonnea]

i’ve never thought i’d find someone who i could relate to in terms of editing style and finding that perfect someone. you are simply inspiring Riza!

[@Cajenk]

Ever since I found your channel a few months ago when I was in a slump, your videos have pushed me to learn a new skill. Videography is always something I was interested in but never took the time to actually learn it.

[@isaaccarlton]

that first minute was truly incredible!

[@mirandatran]

i always find that i gain motivation to create when i watch your beautifully made content!

[@laurariedt]

Not me tearing up watching this. Another masterpiece, another hit to my soul. Thank you for those words to Riza from a year ago because I needed to hear them 🤍

[@LifeOfRiza]

❤️❤️❤️

[@gloriagrace9978]

literally crying the intro was so cute

[@mauricioaugustin6301]

DAAAMUUMMAAAAA!!!!! I just cant get enough of it I have never been more inspired by the work of someone like you Riza LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@stephanniex3]

You guys are so darn cute!! Love your videos Kariza and the important messages you share in them😊🥰

[@BenjiSelby]

What a year it has been! It's been amazing to see your journey progress after your years of preparation and it's cool that you can share it with someone who also gets it like Colt! Love your vids and always feel inspired after watching 🥹

[@joshhu02]

ANOTHER RIZA+COLT BANGER, u guys are seriously such big inspirations to continue creating even when I'm in a rut

[@britineyhall3987]

Riza would you mind sharing where you get your music selections from? They are bomb!! Keep up the good work.

[@AerialWaviator]

"You become more of what you do" @ 5:58 .... such solid advise. Thanks for the inspirations @ColtKirwan, @LifeOfRiza ♥👍👍

[@RayyaAnsari]

You and Colt videos make me happy. Different styles but sooooo good 🥹. Y’all are so cute 🥲❤️

[@PeterSu]

So inspiring to see you in Stockholm at a creator conference! Love the crispy audio in this vid. I actually got the mke 600 after watching your videos and wondered why you're audio sounded so good. It's a bit big for vlogging but my favorite sounding mic, even more than the mkh 416!

[@Tweeezty]

KZbin IS GETTING LOVELY 🥰 WITH CREATORS LIKE YOU

[@duatredilac]

3:34 your boy friend is so sweet 🥺

[@likemike6862]

Cool Editing, music, Story and not forgetting the color grading. Merry Christmas folks 🎄

[@zazb6678]

Some of the footages in this lovely gem would make Wes Anderson proud. I love it. Keep going Riza!

[@matthewfittro8069]

You have a wonderfully unique style! What a joy to see something fresh and exciting on this platform again! Keep creating Riza

[@yier73]

As a Chinese, I'm a little admiring your life, you're living but we're surviving. Merry Christmas!😊

[@camerachronicles7]

I’ve always wanted to visit Stockholm! I bet it was something out of a storybook, especially this time of year. Enjoy!

[@realyoyoweb]

[@elfirarosa10]

[@ShubhBundela]

Kariza × colt = ❤️🫶

[@chilledfounders]

Wes Anderson would be proud of that intro 😅

[@happilyeveralien]

I wanted this video to never end !!!!✨ Such a cozy video with lots of good and needed words and input🧡

[@Skinnypnny]

pretty new to your channel and i really really love the intro section of your video. Is like watching a movie/netflix drama of those storyline, and your voice is really theraputic (not trin' to be a creep), but is truly special. Thank you for creating such interesting video content and Merry Christmas to you!

[@katrinagem]

Your videos and storytelling are amazing and so so inspiring! Thank you ✨

[@VgotC]

[@blobby.the.fat.dinosaur]

Going into the snow looks so surreal

[@stupefyfilms8052]

Okay, very nice. Only a few seconds in and I noticed the inspiration to this intro. I love Wes Anderson movies so this made my heart smile!!!!

[@dekudemi700]

You are always an inspiration! Every time I’m in a rut I watch your videos and am again inspired. Happy holidays ❤❤❤

I loved the part where you each sent letters back and fourth, you guys are so cute together

[@alfinenathalie]

Such wholesome, endearing content 🥹 Really glad I found your corner of the internet 🏡🎥

[@markthepro4818]

Riza, I've been watching your videos over the past 6 months. The combination of your cinematography, your style, the cozy vibes, the music choices and the important life lessons are all perfect. Hope you reach 500k soon because you deserve it!

[@FlipArtzFN]

so proud of how far you've come. i dont watch often but when i do catch your videos, it's always a treat. to think that you were once a girl cwalking with me on a parking lot with several others and making videos of that, to what you do now. can't wait to see you upload a video for a million.

[@elodieloan_]

A beautiful wes anderson inspired intro of this video ! I love it !

[@muddabuwshi]

I used epidemicsound back when I was an editor at an internship I did, getting to choose what vibe your sequence was getting was my fav part of the whole editing process😂 Especially when the track you chose and vision you had in mind works out.👌👌

[@louispark9416]

very well done, it is reminiscent of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom

[@shovarai13]

Yayyy Kariza and Colt both uploaded !!! 😊

[@FernandoFajardoChannel]

Half a million subscribers is just around the corner! What an honor to be your fan since before you reached 10K
