Tell me about the first time you told someone you love them..

On the second day of filming this episode, I saw two guys sitting on a bench and asked them if they wanted to be a part of my film project. I assumed they were friends but a few minutes into our conversation I found out they were actually strangers and hadn't even talked until I approached them. I said- "you guys are friends right?" The one on the right said "haha oh no.. we've never met." Then the guy on the left turned to him and said, "what's up man, my name is Troy.." ... "I'm Jesus, nice to meet you." I asked both of them the question and Troy went first. He talked about how he struggled to tell his parents he loved them.. he ended up calling his mom on the spot and nervously struggled to get the words out. Off camera I asked him why he was struggling and he told me that he thinks it's because him and his friends (and his parents) don't usually communicate when it comes to affection and struggles they are going through. Then Jesus, went. He spoke about the last time he told his mom he loved her which was a few days before she passed away from cancer. Even though I could tell there was a lot of pain behind his words, he kept it together while answering. I asked him how he was able to talk about it so comfortably.. he said it was because him and his friends ALWAYS talk about how they are feeling.. that sharing their struggles is a normal conversation. I walked away from the bench and continued filming.. for the next hour, every time I looked over at the bench I saw them in deep conversation. This was honestly my favorite moment of filming so far. To me it showed what a difference talking about our struggles can make... and how close we are to feeling better about our struggles if we simply open the conversation. Troy and Jesus lived completely different lives and had completely different answers... and I think they both ended up on that bench because they were meant to meet and I was lucky enough to be there when they did. Troy and and Jesus are the last two strangers in this episode. I want to thank them again and everyone who is kind enough to stop and talk to me. I feel so lucky :]
Thank you for everything. I love you all! #BeKind

When I was in middle school, there was a girl that I met in 6th grade. We talked to each other only through one activity in one class, and we clicked. From that day on, our friendship grew so much and she was everything to me. First day of 8th grade, I finally built the courage to walk up to her and tell her that I loved her. The greatest thing about that type of love, was that it wasn’t because we were in a relationship, it just felt amazing to always know that to one person, you mattered so much. And from that day on, every night and every morning we told each other that we loved each other because it was comforting and real. There wasn’t pressure in doing everything right. It was just genuine compassion for one another. Unfortunately my freshman year of high school, we had a falling out. We completely parted ways. And it was because of a very poor mistake that I made. It was a big learning curve for me, but I understood what genuine love was, and understood that if I ever wanted that love again from anyone, I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize that love.

What's sadder is what China did to the Muslims(minority)? Check it out on Google if you want

[@karasay__01]

Btw that's minor thing

[@alinusika]

China's shitty to all sort of minorities, not just muslims And honestly muslims do nth about it either way, they just complain. The whole point of those videos is to show how every person has their own story and struggle And that IT MATTERS not what's "sadder" or worse Also before you victimize muslims, read about what muslims do to minorities, they were/still are pretty horrible to minorities in their contries (like ex-muslims, jews and christans etc) It's not about china or muslims or any religion or race, really.. It's about a "stroger" power taking control or removing the "weaker" one for their own benefit So stop victimizing yourself and grow up. If you feel bad about sth, go help out not complain on the internet and belittle people's struggle because "omg someone has it worse"

7:20 I believe what she’s trying to say is that people say “I love you” too slightly. they say I love you too much to random things and overtime it looses its true meaning, and it starts to feel “empty” and she wants to say something different that really shows and proves the true meaning of love without actually saying “I love you”.

[@katherinelara9886]

Yeah, that's what she's trying to explain 👌

[@TheLibraryOfEmotions]

"I love you" should be only in whispering because it's so sacred.（ ・ω・)=つ≡つ

[@grzegorzpawlik3094]

Also in Spanish the expression "I love you" is "Te quiero", which can be literally translated to "I want you". Far from something that can be said to the really special one in a special moment.

[@leahgriffiths1694]

I tell people that I love them all the time. But every time I do, although just as friends, I genuinely mean it. The people in my life mean the absolute world to me, and I would be shattered if any single one of them was hurt. God has blessed me so much. Also, happy Valentine's Day!

It would be interesting to ask the question of “when was the first time you told someone you hated them?” You could further the prompt by asking if they meant it then, and do they still mean it- why or why not?” I absolutely love your channel and your ability to humanize strangers; since watching your videos I am constantly aware or those around me, and in a way your pieces have helped me to become more empathetic.
