VALUING YOURSELF

[@JannekeW1996]

You don't know how to transfer a good message? Louis, you're already doing it! You are showing that a happy life isn't about putting yourself in the center of attention, or having to wear fancy clothes, or to need and ask for a lot all the time. You show us that life is about being grateful, being honest and friendly and about valuing the people you are surrounded by. You are a great person, Louis, and I'm (and I think I represent many people) really glad that you share your life(style) with us.

[@grahamlindsay5013]

Dear Brighty Moon, thank you for your kindness and I agree with you. My brother died of Cancer and and the trauma of the illness plus his death really shook us all into utter frustration and sadness, then my mother who never got over his death deteriorated and died. I was on the verge of despair but the turning point for me was one night turning on KZbin. I cannot thank enough Louis and the KZbin family of film makers for giving me back a feeling of hope. Have a lovely day.

[@SuperRayray1979]

Louis this is how you, as a youtube role model, inspire your fans and empower woman. You treat EVERYBODY that crosses your path with the upmost respect and care. You look at every girl and woman you come across,whether it be personably or not,with genuine interest. You are a down to earth, loving,friendly guy and you let woman know that there are guys like you in the world. Thank you for that. Dont worry about the message you are sending, its all good and you are an admirable man. Truly.

[@TheLizziebags]

How could someone dislike this one....Valuing yourself is of the utmost importance. "Character is very important..." Louis Cole. Beautiful soul!

[@EmilyRose4343]

I think if you keep putting out this amazing positive view that it will show people how you can value yourself, even if you aren't a girl. I'm female and I think the messages you send out are very inspirational and makes people excited to see that inspiration out there, rather then the things the Miley Cyrus people of the world do.

[@julzsquad]

i think miley is just expressing herself because shes been trapped in the whole 'disney frame' her whole life. as you said shes young and for her its light hearted and for me as a viewer its light hearted too. i love her confidence and i love that shes fierce so for me its not a problem.

[@missmissygreen]

I think KZbinrs and especially the group of KZbinrs you spend a lot of time with are an excellent example of individuals being "famous" and impactful without being objectified. KZbin is fantastic because it allows so many people to show and to see that being yourself is ok. You can always connect with others who will embrace you too. Maybe I am just overenamored with KZbin, but I feel as if it has had a significant social impact on acceptance of "alternative lifestyles".

[@Amabeach]

I think Louis is already sending a good message by living his life. He lives untethered to one specific place and gives to others constantly. He has dedicated himself to uploading videos for others to gain enjoyment from and doesn't ask for much in return. How is that not a good message?

[@LITTLEbubblegummm]

That is the exact kind of advise I am trying to give my little sister. It is not about being pretty and sexy. You have to be confident with your personality and your values and opinions that you have on life. Embrace the little things in life and don't waste your time by being worried about how you look.

[@12sal65]

i agree with you about peoples impact on society. my dance teacher was telling us about how her 9 year old daughter wanted to wear a skimpy outfit that was similar to what miley wore in her video clip, and when her mum told her no she swore at her! like the effect that celebrities and older people have is insane.

[@siimsimmy]

Louis your very existence is promoting good, and valuing yourself. Anyone can say value yourself, be who you want to be & question things but it's a whole other level of inspirational to see someone DOING just that every single day of their lives. You're doing amazing, Louis. Keep being you & you're supporting great things! :)

[@EllaineGrace69]

are you kidding me? louis isnt a misogynist at all. he values and cares for everyone and he shows that. he's not trying to put women down, all hes recognising is the need for people to value themselves

[@colleenbing276]

I completely agree. We should see ourselves as people not objects. Louis you couldn't project a better message. This is perfect.

[@vampbelle]

Louis, you aren't ranting at all :) Truly wise words of wisdom here. I have friends who have gone down the road of glorifying themselves, mostly attracting the wrong attention using their bodies.. and in the end, I've spoken to them when they are at their low, when no one else is there to listen to them, I hear their sad stories of how empty they feel inside, despite all the attention they get. More women need to inspire & empower others in a more positive way without objectifying themselves.

[@karskolk]

The end chats you have are becoming my favorite parts of the videos. I think it's great that you're trying to get you point across but not just being rude to someone. You're helping a lot of people, I know you're helping me and I'm learning so much!

[@StarvinMrvn55]

I think is really refreshing for someone to speak out about how one presents themselves to others. I think we all know Miley is more or less doing this for publicity, but I love that you what people…women, whoever to promote themselves in a positive manner. Is this something Miley will look back on later in life and regret? Who knows? But it is so nice to see someone say the lovely rambling things you said.

[@fibrosmack5899]

agreed! I'm glad such a decent kind good guy has an audience to spread good carma 😃 I want a Louis clone.

[@looselytiedtofashion]

that message at the end was SO ON POINT. Well done! This is why I watch youtubers because I really don't enjoy watching telly etc anymore. grown out of it

[@19jessicalynn]

I definitely think that your "rant" sessions aren't ranting at all! It's good to let us know your opinion because it means a lot to your subscribers. You are already sending out a good message just by the title! You've done so much for the world and you are still making a difference. Keep it up!

[@emmajohnson2899]

after watching louis vlogs, i always click off feeling inspired and i feel he has taught me to appreciate the little things in life and see the beauty in everything, He isn't just another typical youtuber he actually is always trying to get a good message across and encouraging people to follow their ambitions!

[@becks56]

thanks louis for using your channel to remind us that we're not here just to live for ourselves and centre the whole world around us, but that we should be responsible for our actions and think long term of the consequences of what we are doing now and how it will affect us and other people regardless of whether we are a celeb or not

[@emilybrooks6076]

So refreshing to hear someone thinking outside the media box and asking "wait, what is this really doing/saying?", especially in conjunction with women. Respect! Also, I switched to tea when I was weaning off coffee. I don't know why, but I found it easier to manage from there. Apparently England has a thing for tea too ;)

[@GinjaAttack]

Thank you sooo much Louis! I've been saying for a long time that I feel like all celebrities in general aren't impacting the world the way they should. People who have the blessings that they have to get messages out to the world should use them positively, and that's exactly what you're doing. Please keep up the good work. The world NEEDS more people who think like you.

[@Giiftzwergli]

Louis, you already promote better messages with all your videos. you're so down to earth and you care so much about people. you're such a good role model anyways but i love the fact that you actually think about that stuff and how you could teach us something for life. that's just another proof to me that you've got an amazing personality and i hope so much that i'll be able to thank you for sharing your life with us and all that. makes me so happy to see how you live and love your life. love x

[@ThatGirlSaadiyaTV]

I agree that we should talk about valuing ourselves more as people not just as 'objects' or on what we look like. It's an important issue that affects both guys and girls and I really hope that young girls especially are able to understand this. From a relationship perspective, If u are able to get to the point where u value yourself completely, u become aware of what u deserve or what you should expect from other people and it makes it easier to walk away from anyone that doesnt see your worth.

[@ellah857]

Louis u are someone who genrally cares about other peoples feeling and put urself out the way to help and advice other people I wish more people in the world were more like you

[@grahamlindsay5013]

Dear Louis, thank you for your humanity. I must confess that I have gone through a great period of deep sadness and you and other youtubers, through their intelligence, humour and honesty together with a wealth of talent have pulled me out of the depression. Your vlogs show the enthusiasm for living and thank god for that. I look forward to the Vlogs of the Indian trip, which not only will show fine people have a whale of a time but raising so much money for a worth while cause. Thank you

[@yvetishere]

Personally I am not easily effected by the media. And because of that I thought other weren't aswell. Until yesterday when I saw 3 girls aged 13/14 on a bench. They were talking about girl stuff, I overheard them talking about boys. Then they swithed to the subject twerking. They discussed how good they were and that they'd do it for boys, and loved how the boys liked it. I was very chocked by this conversation and made me question the media's influence on young people. Louis you're doing great!

[@superherobum]

Louis is so inspirational to me. As a girl, I have no actual intelligence of my own with which to make my own decisions in life. I have been walking around topless recently because Louis does it all of the time.

[@Jenny97Jenny]

You are the type of person this world needs, loving and caring ! I love you for always being yourself !

[@novednoslrac]

Louis, you promote such a good message just by being you. When I watch your videos I find myself so inspired to give to others and to love the world. Your natural ability to see life as a grand adventure and to want to take advantage of that is part of what makes you such an amazing friend to everyone you meet - whether it's made explicit or not, it's clear that you value each individual incredibly and that you know each person has something to offer you and you to them in return. thank you!!!

[@hammondesque]

"I dont know how to project a better message for girls, because I'm not a girl" true, you aren't a girl but you do project a great message just being yourself! I am very new to your channel and already you are inspiring me to get out and do something with my career and take time for the little things in life and help more people. I also like the chats at the end of your recent vlogs, nice to get your opinions on stuff - keep it up! :)

[@thenewvangogh]

I adore your video aesthetic. You balance out conversations, transitions, observations, music, etc. very nicely. I'm never bored, even though you have somewhat longish vlogs. I appreciate how much care you put into these :)

[@Beautymark3d]

Oh Louis :) I was just having a similar conversation with a friend and I couldnt be happier to hear you say those things! You truly are a lovely person and I am so happy that I found your channel. You have already begun to influence my life in such a positive way! I take more time to appreciate the things around me, instead of just ruhsing on the the next thing... Thank you for sharing your life and your journeys with us. You make a difference every single day and I aspire to do the same!

[@teller1of1fairy1tale]

it'S so true! !SOOOO TRUE! I was thinking that, too... I think someone should help her, i think she wants to show us that she has got problems and nobody cares, cause she is shown as an object... that she had to be her whole teenager life, like everbody else wanted to, and not like she wnanted!!!

[@thedreamcatch3]

you're leading by example Louis, showing us a good lifestyle is great, it gives people something to aspire to that isn't just about image. You also show us a lot of strong women like your mum and your sister and friends. you don't really need to do anything else to help girls. Then again, I'm a pretty confident person, so it doesn't really affect me... Have a nice day!

[@Ash__medina27]

I love at the end of the videos when Louis has those heart to hearts with us.

[@carrizle426]

You've been giving all of us such a positive message ever since you started this channel, Louis! Do what you love and have fun doing it but also think about how you can impact the world in a positive manner! I love you, man! We all love you!

[@rachelking333]

I think by valuing your self Louis, you're already inspiring your viewers and the people around you to do the same. Understanding and living in the knowledge that your worth so much more than what the media displays is a very special thing. I don't think you need to worry about needing to figure out how to help your viewers in that area, because you already are by being you :)

[@LauraHanis]

I just started watching your videos and am hooked. What a beautiful message to give to the world :)

[@metakognicija]

I loved the little chat at the end of the video. I'm not even sure you know just how much influence you have on people. You have inspired so many of us to do what we love and live life to the fullest. Thank you for always being so positive and kind.

[@tessmarie8866]

Louis--at some point in the last month I lost track of keeping up with your videos daily, but this one caught my attention due to the title. Thank you so much for the bit at the end, I value the fact you are using your platform to communicate being wholesome. Keep doing you man

[@pinksunflower516]

We really need people like you as celebrities amd role models, you truly have great ethics and are really a good, admirable man.

[@amiras1001]

I´m so sorry for the lost of your brother and mother, may them rest in peace. I lost my sister 5 years ago, she was very depressed and ended her life but was just recently found and buried. It's been very hard all those years and it´s still hard, I have isolated myself from the world but by watching all these youtubers I´m starting to feel better, its nice to see how other people live and socialize. I´m still in a bad place but I have hope for a better future. Take care of yourself Graham!

[@staavvyy]

Louis this video makes me so happy, it's so great to see someone with a platform like yours is conveying such a great message. I even question the enormity of beauty gurus on youtube these days. Although most of them seem like genuinely nice people i can't stand their impact on young girls in subtle yet such impactable ways. All the 'hauls' and 'makeup tutorials' teaching kids they need all these material objects and alter their looks to be beautiful and accepted by society...

[@becks16661]

Louis you honestly are one of my favourite people in the world.. I feel like I know you and I've never even met you haha! you're so grounded, wise and just full of encouragement and words of wisdom. I don't think you realise how much I value watching your vlogs as watching the way you live your life is so inspiring and helps me escape anything I've got going on. Your vlogs are amazing and I really hope you find encouragement from the way you can influence and inspire people by what you do x

[@chloedunkley3990]

Preach it Louis!

[@annesh5293]

Hi Louis (and every young or old woman or man who wants) to understand how to help women and girls in society and by doing so society at large should look for a copy of The Feminine mystique by Betty Friedan. I was a spice girl feminist from the late 90's (about same age as Louis) &was dismissive of what had come before me. Reading this book was an eye opener which gave context to societal history &drastically changed the way I view today's world and my place/responsibility to it&to other women.

[@natalielawton6400]

you are a great person with a great message!! i totally agree.

[@themish424]

You are my inspiration Louis, the world is lucky to have people like you. And we definitely need more people like you.

[@Clauu199]

I lost count how many times I've written this but I mean it more than ever: So much respect for you Louis

[@JonasAlmostFamous]

Louis you are such an incredible man. Absolutely incredible. What you said really hit home with me. I have been anti-Miley for as long as I can remember and I wasn't sure why. But now I realize that I was thinking something similar to you all this time. The influence she has right now is not a positive one. Everything you said was so very true! Thank you for being a reminder that genuine kind people still exist.

[@gabriellewunsch7866]

It would be so nice to see the younger fellows think the way you do Louis. It has made my day knowing that there are still people who can see the negativity and long-term impact of giving in to the social media crap. Thank you :D

[@sarabea4817]

I think youre definitely right about it sub-consciously affecting us, because I consider myself to be a good person and (overall) im happy and comfortable with myself, in fact I try and encourage my friends to have the same mindset as me. However, the impact that celebrities will always show - for instance how are we supposed to compare with beyonce, miley cyrus' looks ect. I wish we didn't live in a world where this was the case

[@harrietwalker4617]

You're such a nice person and I think the way you represent yourself shows younger people to look up to you. In a good way I mean because you show people to be nice to others and make the most of every opportunity. You're an inspiration as stupid as it sounds I'm being honest. You should be proud :)

[@irishamuze]

i'm so glad and thankful i got to know your channel foodforlouis then also ventured to funforlouis. i love and admire everything you do. you have such a kind heart and always such a great person to look upon. you've inspired so many people, including me. and i thank you for everything.

[@paulamartinez6600]

The world need more people like you.. You're a excellent guy!! You inspired me to enjoy more my days, my life ..all the simple things ..to respect others..personally I love your videos, the way that you live your life..I love everything of you!!! Dont change anything.. because you're perfect exactly how you are. Much love from Chile!!!!

[@shannw18]

You are already promoting a better message! You show us that it's okay to do what interests us and that every one is equal (by how you tolerate many different cultures/religions) I think you're doing great! :)

[@emmelirules]

You are great Louis, really. That speech at the end just made my day. Cause you show real affection for your fellows. You seem to be a really nice man, Louis. Peace out, enjoy life, and live the adventure. BOOM.

[@TabMcgee]

I wanted to add, it's so important for you to rest and take care of YOU. We love watching even if you just do a chat with us!!! It's awesome seeing you in weird places and eating weird things but we watch you because we enjoy hearing about you. It's good for you though to stop and reevaluate goals. :) you're awesome, never stop being you!!!!

[@k213389]

Thank you Louis. I think it's good that you did that little heart-to-heart talk at the end, and I do agree that women are taught to leverage their bodies for acceptance and I think that it's bad. Thanks for being willing to call this practice out for what it is.

[@TG0896]

Out of all the KZbinrs I watch, YOU are the one who I think is the most genuine. You have a great outlook on life. You're a very positive man which is why I and others admire you. You're brilliant, Louis :-)

[@simonelubd2]

Louie, I truly think that your message is completely understood even if you are a guy, or maybe even more so because you are one. I hope people, especially younger girls, will have the ability to choose widely their role models and who inspire them to have a good character, be fair and humble. take care, xx

[@taylahhorsten5729]

Louis is such a genuine person. It's lovely.

[@FabulouslyFrugal10]

Louis, You're seriously the most influential person I've ever listened to. Thank you so much.

[@juliekuku]

Louis, You were always a great vlogger/youtuber but you've just turned yourself into one of the most respected people now. Love what you said

[@janinav0321]

I really value what you have to say as well. There aren't many people out there like you and you truly are a good person. So thank you

[@sandratrifunovic7276]

Louis, when i have a bad day, which is quite often, i love just watching you and steve, ben or jack and finn, cause i feel a lot better afterwards Cause you may not just make a difference in charity and stuff like that, but you make a difference to the peolpe watching you

[@milikoshki]

My respect for you just went way up. It's great to hear your thoughts, Louis! I think it's so important that the internet gives people like you platforms to express an independent way of life/thought that isn't controlled by some record label or marketing team. This really is the future.

[@Moftoo]

Your videos are great Louis, and your advise in them is always really on point. I hope you don't stress too much about 'boring' videos, you have mentioned it a few times and it is really unwarranted from my perspective.

[@anniv7106]

you are the most awesome role model to all the younger (and older ofc) people all around, i really appreciate you as a person :) huge love

[@knewwine]

I love your heart Louis....and the way you express!! especially on the topic of exploiting women and media. and also about especially in the world we live in. And what you create is awareness... you provoke one to think and like you said...question everything....instead of being 'swayed' and accept it all because that is the norm. Thank you... for being who you are...

[@RachelFishah]

I really agree with your opinions, Louis. I think if there were more people like you on earth the world would be full of good vibes. keep on being a huge inspiration for all

[@aaronsmithies9655]

Honestly if Louis was to carry on doing what he is doing now, i'd say that is conveying a pretty good message, The fact that he inspires thousands of people daily, myself included, only proves this!

[@kathyseaboldt6818]

It is so nice to hear young man speak with such respect for all people.

[@lalagirllala1]

Seeing that there are people out there that are like you makes me super duper happy I'm honestly impressed by your personality Louis there is so much we people can learn from you! I know you get these comments a lot where they say that you are such an inspiration but you are indeed! I wish you had an even bigger audience to put your message out there p.s. I would love it if you start putting viewers intros and outros in your videos again:)!

[@floralLoVe88]

You deserve soo much more subscribers Louis. you're so devoted and just an all round fantastic person, if the world were full of Louis .. that would be a good world. real good. you're fantastic x

[@PhoebeRosePearson]

Hey louis :) i know its a bit of a long shot... but i really enjoy your perspective on life and people, and i like how you see depth and beauty in everything around you and in people and you don't look for whats just on the surface, thats something i have always found myself doing because i know that there is something greater that has given us such incredible beauty to enjoy..id love to hear (even if its not in a vlog) where your heart is on faith... because i really respect all you have to say

[@lettheseasetyoufreee]

Louis, you are such a fantastic human being. I'm loving these heart to heart moments lately

[@wonderinalysland4181]

Louis I love how eloquently you phrased everything! What a gentleman you are!

[@BeckyPee06]

Louis you are one of thee most inspiring human beings I know. Just keep doing what you do. So much respect for you.

[@TheMrBlyth]

Thanks for always being so positive and leading on how we should be by example!!!Keep enjoying life and living the adventure!

[@VrinVrin96]

You are an innately good person. You are so positive and always maintain such an upbeat vibe. Louis, you are an inspiration to me. Thank you for just being you. Thank you for making KZbin videos. You always lift my spirits and I will be forever grateful. You're the best.

[@zoestevens7080]

I think you are using your platform to influence the world in a fantastic way Louis, thankyou for that.

[@kitmeowkitty]

Louis, I TOTALLY agree about what you said. I hate how the media portrays woman in bras and stuff. I think that it's really not a good influence what they think woman should be like especially for teenagers who want to fit in its saying that they should be like that

[@filibusterfirework74]

I love your videos so much. I have only recently discovered you and I absolutely love how you put your videos together. Also, being a religious person myself, it is really refreshing having a youtuber who is not afraid to talk about that part of their life. I think it is really amazing how you go about living your life, and live so in the moment

[@TheGeorgieLife]

You are honestly my role model for life! I think this every video I watch of yours! Thanks for your great influence on me and my life and many others! Much love to you Louis! xx

[@kailinfernandez2858]

In love with all your daily vlogs, Thank you for being you! gosh just the inspirational, positive vibe that you give out is just amazing and refreshing to a world that needs it. what you say flows from what is in your heart, and It show's that your heart is so filled with love. please keep doing what you do!

[@OpheliaBoZeezell]

I think you are correct there are going to be some people who can not think further beyond what they see on t.v. When I was younger it was Madonna making the uproar. I was not a child who was interested in being Madonna. I thought what she was doing was fine, it just wasn't who I was so I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I loved rock and roll so that had some influence on my thinking but so did Madonna's "Human Nature" I am now an adult I see what children are influenced by. I try inspire. educate.

[@AnnaClausen4]

You're and old soul Louis - you seem so wise. I like the way you inspiring every single one watching your videos. I can even begin to explain how much I respect you :) x

[@Chanty5679]

Louis you're truly inspiring, your little words of wisdom go a long way!

[@AnnaShuk]

Agreed about the things you said. And I think that celebs should show a positive example to their fans or just viewers. That's why I was sooo glad I've found your channel. You can inspire people to do amazing things and LIVE their lives, not just exist. Thanks, Lou! You're awesome! ;)

[@15crazyanna]

I agree with his rant to. So right. She is talented

[@eliecake9676]

Louis you are so amazing! Thank you for giving this message to the world. I think there are too many "bad" influences out there at this moment and we definitely need more "good" ones like you. Keep having fun so I can enjoy the adventure through your lenses.

[@SincerelyyAbby]

I wish more people were like you Louis, you're one of the most open-minded, genuine and kindest people on KZbin.

[@qjb75]

You have an amazingly wide and grounded perspective on life Louis! I enjoyed your narration at the end of this video :-) to have such self awareness is an amazing asset to your (or anyone else's) character. Kudos to you.

[@charlottezinnia2130]

You are genuinely the most inspirational person in my life please continue doing these thought videos type things xx

[@lalieta29]

Louis I really love your hearts to hearts, I think it's something we all need to hear even if you're not a female. Thank you for another wonderful vlog.

[@suoiresosy]

thanks so much for sharing your thoughts Louis. I'm a big fan of slowing down and thinking about life .It's amazing how by expressing your opinion you can make people think differently, open their minds.

[@kennedybrett207]

your vlogs have changed how I see the world and how to go on in life I always look forward to ur vlogs

[@Barefootzz]

Such heart felt advice and wisdom from a genuine person! Thank You Louis :) If I can share my motto with you and any one who wishes to listen. Treat others as you wish to be treated. I really do think it's that simple.
