Just noticed this but sorry about the mess up on the captions at 16:57 pls ignore okay thank you! Appreciate you guys for watching, just giving the video a like would help out so much. Much love, -Simon

[@bimalak8.]

[@TLN360]

hey simon uhh where was this exactly id love to go there once

[@ritsu4228]

I love your editing style so much, there are a lot of aesthetic vibes in your vlogs. It really just looks like a core memory rather than just a video. It sure does feels like you are showing us real memories and not just videos.

[@ewistone]

your videos aren’t a warm hug bro, they’re a warm cuddle.

[@wholesomesimon]

Love ya and appreciate you eli!

[@nataliexlynn]

this video is a masterpiece! your best work yet :)

[@wholesomesimon]

Much love natalie!!

[@tsaruii]

i think i found my kind of people! people who can meet strangers and introduce them to old friends then suddenly... there's a community of lovely people who are so excited about life

[@Hannah-cz9mw]

idk if this is weird but sometimes it makes me sad that there are people making friends with literal strangers while I'm here at home having exactly one friend. don't get me wrong, you're videos are amazing and calming and I love them so much but they also make me kinda jealous (?) I guess. (sorry for bad english btw it isn't my first language :))

[@justjacques4282]

you can make friend with strangers! but sometimes the situation makes a huge impact and some people gotta like try a little more than others to get out of their comfort zone but that's totally okay! i'm sure that, eventually, you'll make amazing friends

[@phoebetang3884]

hey, it's over-said to the point of cliche but i think quality of friendships matter too! as i grow older (i'm 21 now), i'm increasingly aware of the value of quality over quantity. as adults, we lose the familiarity and reliability of a fixed schedule and structure high school provided for us. we are thrown headfirst into the adult world where we are suddenly supposed to carve our own individual unique paths on our own. it's scary, to figure it out on your own. but it's even scarier to BELIEVE you hAVE to do life on your own now. because you don't! not saying it's easy. because it may be harder for some. but i believe friendships, at the end of the day, is about intentionality: to make friends AND maintain them. and if talking to multiple different strangers sound daunting to you, you don't have to do that! start from deepening the friendship you already have, or reconnecting with old friends! hope you're doing well! :)

[@colindang9133]

You are so underrated Simon. There is so much work that goes into these videos that no one knows about

[@wholesomesimon]

made my day thanks colin :)

[@Thisrandomaccount-yr1yf]

How does this not have more views this is one of the best and most positive videos I’ve seen in a long time keep it up man

[@wholesomesimon]

Thank you :)

[@christinen.8112]

the sky looks so beautiful and oh all the places you go and the people you meet . So happy to be apart of this community , can’t wait for the many more adventures . Love you stay safe and healthy

[@wholesomesimon]

Thanks as always christine!

[@xtosmooth7570]

Just watching someone living their best lives and accomplishing their deepest goals, just gives me motivation to do so. Taking social risks now is amazing even after the COVID-19 pandemic. I think that we all have to get out of our comfort zone, and take that social risk to meet new people in order to find our true selves. The past years I've been hiding from people and being this character that some of my friends don't recognize. The important lesson I learned the past 2 years is that you don't have to be someone you're not in order to make friends or to make people like you. The sum of the day is, be yourself and love yourself before you love someone else ! Thank you Simon! And Stay wholesome !

[@chalvas8274]

these ideos make me stop thinking about my probems and start thinking about dreams, its crazy thank you

[@keith2o9]

These videos makes me sad. For someone who doesnt have friends and social anxiety... People says never compare yourself to others, I just wish I have friends like this.

[@jukstak]

wow i wish i could have a friendship like this. how did you find these amazing people?

[@Coquettelemonade]

I wish too

[@jeannastorey]

Your channel makes me feel alive. I decided to take a gap semester this semester. It's a lot less eventful than yours but definitely still insightful.

[@danibyers8755]

this was so very well done!! gives me so much comfort in knowing there’s possible friendship in any stranger we may meet

[@mackenziepeterman9166]

This is such an inspiring video. It made me cry so much because I know this is the kind of life I wanna live. I want friends like this who just go on adventures and laugh endlessly for no reason. This is what life is supposed to be and I'm learning that community is everything.

[@ada_6867]

Same!

[@elijahnguyen8528]

this fr makes me wanna go change the world or something

[@bimalak8.]

This clip suggests you the peace that is still with strangers and all of us. I feel that my mood has improved a lot. thanks simon! ❤

[@luisfilms]

this is probably my new favoite video that you've made :')

[@damianstech1502]

Yeah buddy

[@wilkinsle1987]

Hey! Found your channel 4 days ago and think that all of your videos somehow hits all of my spots, when it comes to social anxiety, future… Recently I found myself to feel lost, don’t know what to expect and do with my future. As a 11th grader, my parents expected me to choose a job and work hard for it but the problem is I don’t know what to strive for and where to start. I feel like I’m an easily influenced person sometimes I watch a video of a pilot and wanting to get that job but the next day ended up wanting to be an artist. I tried to take slower steps yet feels like things aren’t gonna become better, seeing my friends knowing what they want and having a clear road makes me even more sad. Anyways I just want to share these feelings through this long comment, and hoping that it could help me in someway! Glad that I could find your channel as a place to forget about the tough reality!

[@leyla_nur_]

i`m not sure about how many times i`ll watch this again and again.. idk why but this video kind of helped me to figure out somethings more easily than before. just wanted to say it :)

[@rmjnsgjhjmvjk8188]

You are just such a nice person.I barely have friends and I always hope that I will find a friend like you one day.Your videos are so healing. I found your KZbin channel when I was desperately looking for comfort. I just want to say thank you Simon.

[@taylormanske5870]

This is SO good. Love the way you look at the world, happy I met you Simon!!!

[@wholesomesimon]

Much love taylor! Was so great meeting you as well

[@irishkk]

you rlly inspire me to not just existing, but live the fullest.. tysm for your creativity

[@ninaiswholesome]

I relate so much to what you said about appreciating a moment. What I tell myself when I feel like this is that the fact that a moment can’t be relived makes it all the more special. That’s what memories are and that’s why we miss them. Because when you are living in the moment that moment can’t be relived and that’s the beautiful part. Great video

[@masecreate729]

It’s so crazy to follow your growth throughout all of your videos. If nobody has told you today I’m proud of you for the person you are now and the person you’re working towards everyday. You’re an amazing human Simon. Thank you for inspiring me everyday.

[@sahibvilkhu344]

Heartwarming man..... like really heartwarming. Love the authentic style of your videos. Feels like i am right there. Keep going on more adventures. Godspeed brother.

[@evannavarro2563]

Damn I really came here knowing I things were going to be wholesome but my GAWDDD did this really bring me to tears 🥺💙. I gotta say Simon, you’re really just one of the best things that’s every happened to people. The way you carry yourself with honesty and vulnerability to the world at hand, is truly breathtaking. After watching this video, I feel like I traveled to Hawaii with you and met all of these beautiful strangers. The raw emotions and genuine interactions you had was just so peaceful. Idk man, this video just really hit different in so many ways and I’m just grateful. In a way, I feel honored to have gotten to see who you are, the person you’re becoming, and wisdom that you share to others. It’s truly a blessing to see how far you’ve come on your journey! I hope that you continue doing what’s best for you in every way possible. Be in the moment and savor what’s present because the future will always be there to follow. :) As always and with much love, Keep it wholesome 😌💙🤞🏽

[@bgtvgriffin2527]

You should go to Wilmington, NC, it's pretty cool there!

[@JaredHughesYT]

[@fancyboo3969]

[@user-wb7pz1cf7n]
