on leaving.

how wonderful to hear you again, old friend, after all these years

[@gentleindiff]

Thank you. There are no other words. ❤

[@wildly_alice3437]

you're still here! this was lovely. I still love the things you make. hope the next one is a good chapter, too

[@SuperSamStuff]

thank you for being here. i hope the last few years have been good to you:)

[@Anna-ie4dq]

So beautifully written! and the photos 😍 i find it amazing how familiar your voice still sounds, even though I might not recognize you if I came across you in the street... and it is strange how aware other peoples growing up makes you of your own aging in that time; seeing it continuously makes you forget it's happening sometimes

[@banrions]

Oh wow. The way that this burrowed into my soul and held every bit of my attention and for a min made me choke up and almost cry. Stunning. Thank you for sharing 💜

[@fenboy8007]

I don't have notifications on for the channels I'm subscribed to anymore so seeing a new notification pop up got me quite puzzled! then i saw who it was for and immediately dropped everything to watch this. thank you for making this. i felt myself on the brink of tears the entire time

[@SuperSamStuff]

thank you so much for coming back, i hope it was worth the wait

[@fenboy8007]

Absolutely! Went and rewatched all of your old videos as well and got reminded of how lovely your art has always been! Wishing you the best in your future work

[@Jawmsie]

Just made a pretty big life change. This hit home. I will remember only to watch your work at home and not on my lunch break. Good luck with it all. Thanks for sharing!

[@SuperSamStuff]

i hope the new change brings you good things, or the things you need. thanks for being here

[@susih7213]

What a moving piece of art! It found me in just the right moment. I'm struggling to express just how much this spoke to me. Thank you for sharing this, it touched me deeply.

[@SuperSamStuff]

thank you for making time, it means a lot to know it connected with you

[@ras8031]

OOH this hit in a soft spot. Thank you for sharing this intimate piece with the world.

I moved three years ago, after living all my life in different suburbs of the same city. I think this just made me that grief can come with it, and why the song "Sun In An Empty Room" makes me so emotional. Thank you

[@SuperSamStuff]

thank you for being here, hang on i gotta go check out this song now

[@SuperSamStuff]

okay, this song sounds like the bittersweet feeling of driving away from a place that's brought you the full spectrum of emotions. thank you for telling me about it

[@TwelveOThirteen]

You are so welcome. It's used as the main theme song for Heavyweight, a podcast that's about these vibes. Reaching out to long lost friends, or bringing up tough subjects with your relatives, to try tying up loose ends.

Beautiful

[@kendall7041]

So lovely to see you and be granted access to your vision again 💙

[@jennindeed5792]

I'm glad you made this

[@Idefilms]

This was gorgeous, Sam. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@shivangigupta9571]

the very audible gasp and excited eeeeeee i did at seeing this!!

[@lindseydrew9812]

I was literally just thinking the other day about your channel and how much I love your content. I live in a completely different city and lead a completely different life. But it’s still good to see you again :)

[@theSarahdoesstuff]

Not only was it amazing to see a notification pop up about a new vid, but also to see that you have spent the last few years here in Aoteaora! What a love letter to the experiences of heading on adventures and the friends you make along the way. Hope this next chapter is just as fufilling as this one has been 😊

[@SuperSamStuff]

thank you so much, sarah

[@astraliscata]

mesmerizing. moved countries this past summer. maybe this was slow down and grow up :)

[@TheAdamSmasherMultiverse]

Whoa!!! This a throwback when I was active. 😂 Good to see here again fam

[@SuperSamStuff]

[@juligili]

[@daiMac_]
