Oh, the Places You'll Go at Burning Man!

[@lsherbin]

10 years later I still come back to this video on my dark days when I'm in a prickly perch. 💜Thank you for reminding me over and over again that this is all part of the adventure and on I must go.

Thank you for the share Lara. You got this! 💪🏼

[@richardquist3556]

I was in the lowest place this summer with nothing besides my memories of BRC to keep me going Four days ago I was gifted a ticket home.

[@odd08]

Its funny watching this over the years. What started as "wow! I want to live life to the fullest and do things like go to burning man when i grow up!" turned into "I wonder how those people are doing now? Have they started a family? How many of these people are no longer with us?" So much has changed yet it feels like yesterday. I wonder how much this video affected my life or if it did at all. All i know is I seem to always return back here, even after all the places i've gone.

[@richardquist3556]

@@odd08 that is so beautiful. Thank you

[@FeatherzMcG]

Ten years later, I still come here when the world gets dark and my soul needs a hug.

[@fredricktalbot1945]

So true.

[@thegreenbowlpacker]

thanks. i already cried while watching!

[@guestoboard]

Me too. And here I am again right now!

[@jlryan06]

12 years later and it's an epic soul hug

[@scadqwqw]

I really think this is one of the loveliest things on KZbin.

[@brentcoulter7901]

AGREED

[@Shinobi_Fox]

It really is, I always come back to this when I'm feeling alone and sad about things because for some reason, hearing it cheers me up a bit. I wish the people I sent it to appreciated it as much because it's really beautifully made.

[@pagalvin1]

It’s my favourite thing on KZbin

[@bearburns3410]

Yep. For me too. I've watched it hundreds of times.

[@shmutube]

Absolutey! Always love when I come across this unexpectedly and I immediately share it... Happens periodically, I am happy to say - warmest wishes and blessings to all as we all get on our way! 👍🏾😁💗🥰🙏🏾

[@racameron77]

No matter how many times I watch this, it makes me cry every time. I love it more than words can express.

[@SamuelWrightSamuraiMarine]

Agreed... I absolutely love this.

[@ellaperry1612]

This video ever since it came out, has saved me more times than i can count. It reminds me to stay true to myself and keep going no matter how hard it may be. To each and every person who made this video, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to keep going (:

[@TeddySaunders]

I watch this every time I feel alone, lost, weird, or anything for that matter. 8 years later and it still makes me cry. I got a tattoo in honor of this book and video! My favorite line from my favorite stanza of the book "On and on you will hike..." Forever on my body! I love this video so much.. Thank you!!!

[@victorialozanomakeup]

I always come back to this video when I need a little bit of motivation. When I'm in a slump & unslumping myself is not easily done.

[@idaLAduce]

I never forgot it. Sitting here, now located in a nother city then 8 years ago, and still thinking about this. Everytime I feel that the waiting place is to close, i remember this video. (and dr. seuss of corse) Thank you, for making my life a little bit better

[@brianalfonso6785]

This has been my comfort video for years now... Anytime I'm scared, or lonely, or just feel... wrong. I come back here and watch this video. Thank you so much.

[@Plantonality]

You have no idea how many times I have watched this... Thank you so much !

[@MyNameisRafe]

I had NO idea this video was so impactful for SO many people. Whenever anything in my life tends to go towards a way I think may not be the best, or already has been not the best, I watch this video, and it helps me. Every. Single. Time.

[@acamar704]

Truth.

[@thebluemorpho2962]

It’s from Dr. Seuss of course it’s impactful he was the master of Rhyme 😂

[@MyNameisRafe]

@@thebluemorpho2962 I'm saying this video specifically. I'm well aware it's from Seuss.

[@WaitingFS]

My daughter is leaving for university in a few days, and I found this while looking for something meaningful to share with her. Thank you for turning Dr. Seuss' wisdom into such a lovely video. It's perfect...just what I'm looking for.

[@compedium]

WaitingFS my mom gave me a plaque with the book's title when I graduated.

[@americandragonist]

How did it go ?

[@imusthavethemountains_]

Watching this during COVID-19. And feeling like we are all in The Waiting Place. Thank you so much again for this.

[@TeddySaunders]

Totally. Samezies.

[@JohnSo]

I think I saw this video first shortly as it was released, I don't even know how I got to it. But it reamains to this day the single most beautiful thing I have found on the internet.

[@onedim23]

I almost gave up today, but i didn't after watching this. Thank you.

[@SH-bn8vd]

Keep pressing Zulema :)

[@marcryanthebeautifulbogan8386]

I glad you didn’t give up and I hope that is still the case

[@RayIveySeriously]

I've watched this a hundred times and I cry every single time.

[@amandamcewlay7]

Me too! Its beautiful in a way I'm sure the creators never imagined.

[@irenesarmiento4630]

I watched this for the first time in 2013 during one of my last college classes that school year. Since then, I've been a teaching assistant, beginning in 2015 and now a professor since 2019. I play this at the end of each of my courses now. So inspirational.

[@TeddySaunders]

Wow. Amazing share!

[@katherinewolfe]

It's 2015, and this is still the best rendition of a Dr. Seuss work I've ever seen. Thanks so much for making it, and for all the amazing people who were in it.

[@ScottWaa]

This is my check in & say "thank you" for your production of happiness.

[@irmamelara]

[@druid54us]

I am watching this, because I am dedicating the video to a friend a dear friend wish I dont have much time left with. Any day now her light will be gone from my life and the life of all the people she reached out to. With all the grief I have in my heart I have tears of joy of getting to know her and having a opportunity to love her. I dedicate this because even tho we dont have much time we can see this and dream one more time of the places we can go and the many things we can do.

[@mykat2]

Been a couple of years since I was soooooooooo inspired by this video. I'm going to the Burn for the first time in my life this year and beyond excited!!!!!

[@silver.blizzard7498]

Ben Mallinson how was it?

[@GiffysChannel]

Same thing just happened to me just now. Looking into tickets now, not sure what I have been waiting for this whole time. Yes it scares me but what have I got to loose compared to what I have to gain. I want to visit the burn for the first time in my life.

[@matthewc8495]

I hope you made it to the burn, I cannot wait to go back. There is no place like home!

[@jweilan1]

I come back and watch this video every few months. It sounds wiser and wiser.

+Tedshots Thank you for making this video. From my last class of school, graduation, gap year, and university, this has continued to inspire me whenever I feel down and out. I have been through the ringer and come out the other side with the wise words of Dr Seuss. I can only hope that this video will have the same impact on another person.

[@charlie_the_unicorn]

Jordan Verbeek you've managed to perfectly express what I tried and failed to put into words, thank you. This video has been like a friend whenever I've been in a dark place, I return to it so many times and it always gives me some hope or a lift. all the best to you!

[@smbarriga1020]

This really is a wonderful collage set to a wonderful message at "home" for all of us burners. I went 2011 & enjoyed seeing places & faces my fuzzy memory recalls.....thank you so much. I just shared it with my 10 year old daughter who has gone to Saguaroman and is a burner. We so enjoyed it & it touched us. Thanks for making our last 8 minutes uplifting & reminding us of the beautiful people awaiting at the playa and what we can apply in the default world. Biiiiiiig hug. Love, Mo Sunshine

I can finally watch this without winding up a weeping heap. Now i just feel a warmth.

[@fallenfanaticme]

Whenever I'm feeling down, I watch this video, or I read this book, and it always brings a smile to my face, and reminds me that nothing is done, my life has miles to go, and whatever is going on now, will resolve itself in one fashion or another

I have to watch this at least once a year, this video is just great! Thank you Dr. Seuss, all the names under the description and all those who made part of this awesome video!

[@sheryonpilgrim8032]

I love children's books and have used them in the life skils training I have created. This is one of my favorite stories and I love hearing it read this way. it is such a beautiful metaphor for life and fun way to hear and see the story.

Thank you for this video. I was at Burning Man in 2011 and sometimes I just watch it to relive those memories. This makes me smile.

It seems like a place that everybody should go at least once.

I watched this initially because my daughter went to BM this year - what I didn't expect was to watch something so beautiful, hear something so profound! I have watched it at least 10 times so far.

[@cosimoto1]

So scary! So funny! So run of the mill! I'd give all to go there but never I will! I Know I'm too old though old doesn't count, there's too many problems for me to surmount! If you see my post and then wonder why I post such a post and don't even try... to go and attend this marvalous fest, then know I'm a prisoner just like all the rest - who struggle through life the best that they can and dare only dream of the burning man!

[@qazmko22]

Don't limit yourself with what others will think, that is one recipe for a life that will stink. For Age is mealy a number, it's about how you feel! If you don't live your life with freedom, you aren't living a life that is real. When it comes to decisions about what you should do with your time, always ask yourself "would doing this, or missing this be a crime?" What does your ideal life look like? Set a goal and try to give it a decent strike! Does it involve missing important events, because that doesn't make much sense. Or does it involve being the best you, that you can be? Trying to be the best version of yourself is the Key! As long as you are not hurting anybody else is all that matters to me. That is truly the best way to live a life that is free. :)
