why hobbies are important

[@Michael-wp6em]

I realized the importance of a hobby when I got a job. so many of my coworkers told me their everyday was: work-get home- do nothing- to bed- repeat. ^which lead to a depressing life style. I decided I dont wanna hit that wall and would schedule hanging out with friends, self care day, work out and just DO stuff. Filling the day with something fun or something you look forward to lifts the spirit every day!

[@Preset1]

Your cinematography is unlike anything else I've seen on YT. I'm so glad the algorithm is vibing with you, otherwise I wouldn't have found your 2 year old video three days ago about finding peace. I started bouldering 3 months ago and fell in love, the problem solving skills and building the confidence to trust yourself is addicting. If you're ever to climb again, less arms more legs, all us beginner climbers only use arms until someone kind let's us know it's all legs :O)

[@linawilnethnaranjopascuas4216]

Thats truth! it seems like a movie

[@TinyFord1]

It’s like a Stevie Emerson video but it’s educational rather than comedy. KZbin is becoming good

[@badgerfoot]

If you want more fun cinematography from cool people I’d recommend Jesse Driftwood and Evan Monsma here on YT!

[@Dan-Dan-Noodles]

I agree. Riza’s cinematography immediately captured my attention. It’s the best I’ve seen from any KZbin content creator. 💯

[@IYI_WOLF_IYI]

Whats the title of that video? I also climb haha

[@nataliesoutlet]

I love climbing! Challenges me mentally and physically and all around such a fun community of people

[@benghiskahn3673]

YES!!!! Climbing is an amazing hobby!

[@Midnight_Gust]

another masterpiece(a refreshing channel for me honestly), Its great to see people share this message . For me and many other people hobbies are a way of getting rid of the accumulated stress, personally for me I like playing my guitar , singing and writing some poems or just a walk in a silent way to get detached from this busy live.

[@ElleOfTheMills]

so proud of u and what you're doing on this platform!

[@LifeOfRiza]

thank you elle :’)🫶🏼

[@streampunksheep]

You inspired me riza. keep it up please.

[@glamastro]

So I wanted to get a few things out there and perhaps get to know if anyone feels the same... A hobby is a thing that we "like" to do, like it brings up notions of peace, and relaxation...and overall good vibes. Like, they are things that we put effort into, and feel good about the effort we put in as well as the results we get. There are a few major caveats with this notion. First, I've seen modern life make people as good as seemingly programmed drones, that only put in effort when it is a source of money, or instant gratification. Why would you "want to work without money, or without obtaining likes". Because it makes you feel good? But modernism provides that feeling through money and attention apparantly... The average person is already bombarded with all sorts of dopamine hits, which they don't even have to work for. Just pull out your phone and you'll get an endless stream of 'entertaining content', or open a streaming service and watch 4 movies a day (movies that are so good, so absorbing and thought inducing and can stay with you for a very long time, but you get none of that because you immediately move onto the next one, hence your appreciation is also destroyed). And, you never "feel like" doing your supposed hobbies these days, because what's the point of nobody's watching?Just get lost in the endless repository the internet is. Once all connected by modern tech, people really don't do anything for themselves. They do it for validation. Maybe you created a piece of art, a short film, a poem, or composed a song, or learnt a new instrument....or even given your roommate a new haircut...whatever... Your first instinct is to post it for other people to see, like and comment... Otherwise it just feels like you wasted your time for nothing. Then there's jealousy. About your "hobby" not receiving enough attention compared to someone who posts similar things.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Your videos are so impeccably and professionally written, shot, and produced! I just found your channel, but I'm glad to see that the algorithm has given you some notice and that you're getting more recognition and attention for your amazing content. It is truly inspiring, keep going! 😊

[@LifeOfRiza]

Thank you!!

[@goat8614]

WHAT U DOIN HERE??? You got me into the hobby of paracording 💙

[@VictoriaLyman]

I have started this recent exploration of trying new hobbies because I also felt like for so long I didn't have any hobbies. crocheting was one of my recent ones and its insane how many people immediately started asking me about selling or monetizing it in some way!! I thing its so important to have things that are just for entertainment and joy, life is far too short to constantly find ways to monetize everything.

[@TheXaminedLife]

2:06 That is such a beautiful picture. I've heard that Orson Wells, the director of Citizen Kane, said every frame is a painting. 2:06 is a beautiful example of what he meant.

[@Kable10]

You have such a fresh creative style that feels unique compared to other vlogs! Keep up the great work!

[@ZenHikingSwitzerland]

I couldn't help but smile at the beginning of your latest video because I could relate so much! Being an orchestral trumpet player and a hiking enthusiast myself, I understand the fear of turning hobbies into jobs, I did it with both of these things. I feel I'm out of hobbies sometimes, and It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. Good on you for trying out climbing! Oh, and can we take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of your videos? The quality of your filming and editing is on a whole new level. Truly impressive, I haven't seen anything like this on youtube. Thank you for the work and dedication.

[@rianefalcao6330]

shit, this just reminded me how much i loved climbing as a kid, idk why i ever stopped, it looks so fun and gives you the sense of accomplishment

[@yungzohan1608]

I started climbing a year ago, and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s a great way to push yourself physically and a great way to hangout with friends

[@Errol246]

I was literally about to recommend bouldering in a comment, and then you went climbing. Awesome.

[@dawn.-.]

the filming style of this video is gorgeous!

[@jademetivier]

I discovered you with TikTok and honestly, that is the best thing this app has do for me. I have never felt more understood than watching your videos. (Sorry if I made some mistakes, English is not my birth language)

[@jerrykwan150]

I have to say im fascinated by this concept. As much as we are inundated with vloggers recording their everyday lives, I havent really seen as much (probably by virtue of me not particularly seeking it out tbh) work talking about the inner workings of one's mind and why they do something with a particular intentionality. It's also a really curious thing to me, recording your 20s. I'm in that stage of my life as well, and it's comforting but also intimidating to see someone undertake such a daunting task because it makes you think, "what if that were me?" Thanks for your Waiting for Life to Happen video, as much as i may lose that 1am spark of inspiration to change my life by morning, you've certainly put a much more vivid spin on the classic lesson that I at least won't forget. Beautiful storytelling and cinematography.

[@ryeandrock]

Climbing is one of the best possible activities you could have picked for a new hobby! Glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely something you can get hooked on, especially once you meet other people to climb with. I think I found myself in the opposite predicament as you. Currently too many hobbies, but lost the passion for the work I do. Hoping one day to make one of my hobbies into a career.

[@r.lum.r]

Man, I really relate, my strong hobby of music became my life, and I don’t want to do that anymore. Trying new things has been very helpful for my mental.

[@DilCardyn]

Hobbies are incredibly important for our overall well-being! They provide an escape from the daily grind, a chance to learn and grow, and can even lead to new friendships and passions. This video beautifully highlights why we should all make time for hobbies in our lives. It's not just about having fun; it's about nurturing our souls. Loved this.

[@Skyeebooklover]

Love to be a part of such a positive community

[@Midnight_Gust]

same I absolutely love it , I got tired of these ai generated mass produced content filling my recommendations and found this refreshing channel

[@LifeOfRiza]

love to have you here! 💓

[@Skyeebooklover]

@@Midnight_Gust yaa same

[@Skyeebooklover]

@@Midnight_Gust I just realised that the channel is so underrated I mean 6 years but glad to see it has a positive community

[@Midnight_Gust]

@@Skyeebooklover yup just noticed that and its truly great for a community like this to exist

[@leolundgren3989]

I have the opposite problem atm where I have too many hobbies and I don't know how to manage them all. I've discovered that it helps to have different hobbies depending on what season it is. That way you can change between them more naturally and you don't feel bad when you pick one over the other. It also helps to find a group of people that you can share your hobby with so that you can all grow together. :)

[@haldiroot]

It's always a unique kind of difficult when your creative outlet becomes a way for you to survive---because on one hand: yay! You can do the thing you love AND not have to do anything else! But on the other hand: uh oh. You now rely on that thing for surviving, and that can be a really stressful and burn you out pretty quick. I'm slowly working on my art, youtube, and artistic stories, and this situation very much reminds me of that fear I have when I work on them. Building more hobbies is sometimes difficult, but it's so important so that we have multiple ways to relieve stress (especially when you do them with friends!). Also, it's so nice to see your channel grow! I've seen your videos on and off for a few months now, and to see that you've gotten the recognition you deserve is so satisfying. Congrats!!

[@EmilyinBold]

girll you went hard when you went from i need a hobby to rock climbing, i can’t do a pushup correctly… athletic hobbies are the best though, something about being able to turn my thinking brain off is healing

[@n.lately]

I rarely see vlogs with storytelling as good as yours! I always feel inspired after watching your videos, especially as someone who is learning to make videos myself. Bouldering and rock climbing are so much fun - after I tried it, I was hooked. It such a good workout for the body but also the brain when you're working on the tougher problems 😛Congrats on the crazy growth on your channel btw! 🎉

[@batnaana]

im so happy she's getting the recognition she deserved for so long.

[@AcidGlow]

I tried Rock Climbing for the first time last year. It was scary but really fun!

[@DoffDoffinson]

The vibes on your stuff are immaculate

[@rmicbdng]

seeing you and your friend climb put such a big smile on my face! my sisters and i were like that when we first started aaaaa the memories

[@RedneckAnarchist]

I rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to say that I think it's super cool how much work you put into making your videos cinematically interesting instead of just talking to the camera. Your content is very impressive. And really puts me in a better mood, which I've been in need of lately. You're my new binge :)

[@sahirprajapati5958]

anybody else rewatching some of her videos everyday? the cinematography, the sound, the concepts. more than awesome.

[@marcusperry9481]

Whoa. 2nd video I've just watched on this channel. Soundtrack amazing. Interior aesthetics of your dwelling: SUPERB. Move over plain-wall, minimalist-to-a-fault cookie-cutter design, there's a new way to design an interior space. I have no idea what you even do, but this content is inspiring on a number of levels. The algorithm actually served me well today. Keep on keeping on! ❤🙏🔥✝

[@dylan3017]

Saw your vid w/Colt and that was sweet...God Bless NY for bringing ppl together! I clicked on this vid and-- you didn't even need to say a word... that slow pan at the beginning-- you got my sub. Keep on slaying it!

[@Y.F.]

I actually realy appreciate you turning the mundane day to day into a video like this it showes that we should all be proud of the little things

[@Y.F.]

O-O i've been noticed

[@manizhaazizi3156]

Riza, so happy to see your channel blowing up so fast these days 😄 yesterday I saw your channel had 78K or so, but today it is 88k 🤗 You deserve it girl! I found your channel two days ago and I was wondering why the algorithm has not recommended these beautiful videos to me sooner. Happy to see your videos reaching out to more people.

[@animesvt1234]

I'm so glad I found you. Like your entire vibe is just so calming and interesting at the same time

[@Mocsmith77]

i go to that climbing gym myself and i remember all those routes in the video, great job

[@DeviantGryphonFromTinyMoat]

You have this natural talent for cinematography, and specifically lighting & composition. And then your videos are just so intellectually inspiring! You’ve created such a beautiful channel and series of videos.

[@MoraleAsmr]

Hi Riza, I literally just discovered you about an hour ago and been binge watching your videos. I got to say, not a lot of youtubers have affected me the way you did, the energy you bring out is amazing and you make me feel like I can do amazing things too. I am looking forward for your next videos. Subscribed ✅️

[@chaimaeelmortadi7118]

I just discover your channell lately and I am so fascinating the way you vlogging , we feel your creativity so deep but also your beautiful personality ! YOU GOT THIS GILR , xoxo

[@pedroarellano4754]

found your channel yesterday and I love the few videos I've watched! Also climbing is a great hobby !

[@NoahCBanks]

The shot selections in your videos are 🔥 Totally feel ya on having hobbies that dont need to be monetized. Rock climbing and bouldering are no joke!

[@josephedet8482]

Since I found your channel yesterday night while wondering why I really started doing whatsoever I am doing, I smile just watching you doing yours and just inspiring me to do me and forget about the reward. Thanks so much.

[@AdityaNimbalkar-q6j]

i just wanna say that i just discovered you the other day and your videos are so relaxing and feel like home. They motivate us they really do to go out there and do stuff beyond our comfort zone its good to have you! keep it up!

[@Ionno1696]

Good to be part of your journey, i have never seen any youtuber grow this fast. 43k to 113k in like 4 days?? You go girl!!

[@LifeOfRiza]

thank you :) it’s unreal!

[@bintangdomena]

Seems like you are better busy, experimenting, and seeking all the time>>>> Life of Riza = compilation of hobbies!! Like climbing a rock wall is an analogy.. 😉🤩🤩 MUCH strength, joy , and contentment you; thanks for loving to share!

[@jefisfree]

every single shot is so well thought out and often unexpectedly mesmerising just like an art film! (like the shot when you're lying on the couch then turn to the camera to start talking). I also love the perfectly crafted stories you make about life's imperfections and can't wait to see more!

[@07.quanghuy49]

thats kinda what im struggling too. im a comic artist, i used to post my comics alot on my fb page, but when it blew up and i became viral on internet, i started earning quite amount of money from it. but then i didnt feel like it anymore i dropped out everything cuz i was just a 16yo kid and it was too much to take. but now with a healthier mindset of a 19yo, hopefully i can comeback and be able to balance between my hobby and my career

[@basitmt4949]

One of my biggest inspirations on here, about to hit a 100k. Always knew it would only be a matter of time before you started getting the recognition you deserve, and now the moment is here!!!

[@SabrinaRizandya-ek6vs]

I'm glad i found your videos. Calming to wacth as an escape from the stress of everyday life. Escape that is not delusional and realistic. This video keeps me motivate me to overcome everyday life challanges!

[@KristinWitcher]

Firstly, I really enjoy the style in which you craft your videos. Secondly, you nailed my current dilemma. I made videos for fun in high school, and then that turned into my job in college to post-college. I'm re-analyzing what hobbies I want to have that do not involve a screen! So glad KZbin recommended your channel today.

[@tyroneDeGZ]

thank you for bringing hope for this kind of content!! so refreshing and inspiring!

[@steve_EO]

This is something I’ve only realized this year, and I’ve been slowly getting into new hobbies. It’s been so fun to explore new hobbies, too! Reeeeeslly can relate to this video. Incredible work!

[@sweetcreature21]

Sick intro, portraying the message, the quality is coming out of my screen. Unique to see when peopl dedicate sm time on these ideas. brings a different perspective to the lifestyle vids

[@thewatchu5167]

I was surprised to see that you chose bouldering, bold move in my opinion. I respect that you went out of your comfort zone and dragged your friend to suffer along.

[@stefandesu]

These vlogs are like mini movies, I love it! I love bouldering and rock climbing, it's an awesome hobby. I mostly do it indoors too, but it's yet another experience climbing real rock outside. Totally recommended!

[@Bubby91]

one of your older videos was recommended on my feed, and dam i gotta say going through your videos i really like the style of how you film and seeing how its changed in ways over time. I am not a film/cinematography geek at all, but i do appreciate good scenes when i see em. Hope to see more great content from ya soon!

[@goatpasta9553]

The cinematography, the personality... You got my sub immediately. Keep it up :)

[@idontknow3037]

The intro for this video gives me such intense deja vu or nostalgia. (I'm not sure which word it's supposed to be.) Good video.

[@serena_bee]

Can be very intense indeed. I feel like the search for creativity is on a continuous spectrum. Once we become comfortable it feels like a chore, then it’s, onto the next 😕😌✨

[@huyenvukhanh771]

Ive been climbing for a year now and the scenes where you and your friend are just staring at the walls crack me up

This channel is growing at an enormous rate. Just few hours ago it has 88K subs and now it has 100K subs. It is a very unique channel and I have never seen something like on KZbin. Thank you KZbin for recommending me this channel. Also congrats and thank you Roza for making such wonderful content and also thanks inspiring me to do something similar :). Edit: Congrats for 100K (lol I edited this comment so many times, but this is the last time)

ANOTHER LIFE OF RIZA CLASSIC JUST DROPPED

[@karlivanr]

Instantly subscribed when KZbin recommended me your 'for those waiting for life to happen' video... love this new vid of yours! My hobbies are photography, playing football/video games with friends, and producing music sometimes. I realized how important having a hobby is in each of our lives, in a way it de-stresses our mind from the work that we've been doing the whole week lol. Work + Sleep is kinda boring and that made my burnout worse, Work + Sleep + Hobbies are what keeps the fire burning in me! 😁

[@mirzigarcia5535]

Hahaha this made me laugh hard! Now I wanna try rock climbing too, but I don't think we have spots like that here in the PH.

[@esapov]

a masterpiece. so happy to see ur channel grow, riza 🥹

[@lyramona]

Your channel was just recommended to me and I’m soooo happy it was! Your videos are so refreshing and your storytelling is just so nice and soothing and real. I love that they’re aren’t long but I’d probably still watch if they were 🤭 but they are just nice nuggets to digest! 💙

[@aerka0s760]

Climbing is an awesome activity to do. Really challenging the upper muscles and the brain if you've got vertigo (like I do haha). I tried it the other day just like you. Super cool video, and it's always a pleasure to watch them, there is a quality inexplicably pleasing for the eye in your videos.

[@TiaanKruger]

thank you! hobbies dont need to be side hustles, you can do and enjoy something just for the sake of it. Take say sailing as a hobby, can you make money from it? Sure. Races, videos, etc, etc. But it the SAILING still the focus, or has that changed? I would argue it is totally different. It is 100% ok to have a hobby, and not have any inclination or want to monetise it. Your work also doesnt need to be what you love (see above example), it can be what you do to pay for what you love

[@CorrineNicole]

The type of videos I like and amazing cinematography. What a double whammy.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

I randomly saw your channel being recommended to me, what made me click was just the simple title "For those who feel like giving up". And now I'm on my 5th video. I'm a youtube creator too, but a very different one from you. So your channel is very surprising to me in a great way. Seeing your personal take on everything is positively changing the way I see youtube and life. Much love from a new stranger. Keep doing this!

[@gabrielgrassmayrtoo]

Joo ur so close to ur first playbutton! Congrats 🎉 Loved the video, as always

[@2760db]

Your videos are so well edited, it's unreal 👏🏽

[@taliw7736]

truly time to go back to hobbies and activities I really dont want our generation to lose this and for sure with social media it can distract us or make us too tired to want to do things offline like run, sew, draw, paint, puzzles, reading etc. Plus reminder NO ONE has to be a pro at hobbies its for enjoyment

[@dontemchan]

Stumbled upon your channel just a few days ago and captivated by your videos. Now I’m tripping out that you tried climbing! Stoked to hear you would do it again! It’s a whole new world/rabbit hole and a fun way of working out. Looking forward to more 🤘

[@ethanvaccproductions314]

Oh my word…. it is insane how talented you are and yet still so different from everyone else. I am literally hooked on your videos.

[@misteriwa]

1:45 Haha, THIS is so true, and the tendency for my brain to immediately theorize of ways I could monetize a hobby whenever I begin taking interest in it seems ever prevalent. I also attempt to quell the thought of needing to monetize and remember the importance of enjoying things for the sake of health and having fun.

[@buildingpickleball]

"when i was a kid, i feel like all i ever had were hobbies." that hits.

Wow. Seeing this video directly after one from 2yrs ago is incredible to see how you have refined your style and comfort in front of the camera, as well as your talent behind the camera and prepping for each shot and mastering/editing. Bravo!

[@yumikoalida5570]

This is the first time I found you. And I just had only watch this video, but I hit subscribe right away. There has been a long list of growth and productivity youtubers I've subscribed, and I don't feel I need another one. But then I found you. And hey, the cinematography, the delivery, the message, it strikes me. Now I can't wait to watch your other videos. Good luck on your journey, Riza. You're awesome!
