The road to paradise🌺🌅🌈
Did you try meditation? i heard that it helped some alexithymics to recover.
What’re the names of the piano music?
I battle it too 💜
You probably can’t read the room (leave screaming why tf did I just say that, mentally, of coors 🤣) and think everyone is incredibly judgmental, too. For me, it felt like I was incredibly good and everyone else was, at least “wrong”. You’re way fuckin mentally tougher than anyone else realizes. Kinda is a super power. Piss on their judgements 😉
This really hits home. Especially the last few minutes. I can't help but feel like I've painted myself into a corner by naming my channel after my special interests, masking myself and using them as an artificial method of expression.
Regarding the video itself: It is a masterful demonstration of visual, sonic and narrative storytelling and was a joy to watch, even if the topics discussed were detrimental and worrisome at the time. I'm very impressed by the quality of the content you release and grateful that you share it.
@@ArtNatureMusic 🥺❤️🩹
@ArtNatureMusic Thank you so much! 🖤
I saw this piece in your Etsy store. It's truly incredible, and I was delighted to see this timelapse. I found your channel through discovering one of your ASD videos and relate significantly with you and your shared experience. I'm going to save up to one day put your art on my walls next to my nature art collection I've created as a reminder of this mental kinship and affinity for nature.
@@ArtNatureMusic Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥺
Very good Video Footage. Great Video and your voice is so good it blends great with video and makes you calm in the moment, to be in present moment away from past and future thoughts.
I relate to this. My empty silent space, which is where I mostly was as a child, was a place I had to hide to seem normal--behind words and facial expressions. I didn't want to worry people, but mainly I wanted them to leave me alone. Eventually, I got tired of being alone and began cultivating social skills, including conversational skills.
"My usual state of mind is silence. " This sentence is what defines me completely.
beautiful! I love your aesthetic. I have a window by my desk but i have to put half-curtains because the sunlight bothers me too much. I love the light but I'm too sensitive until it moves a bit away. Also in the Winter i have to pull the blinds down because the sunlight on the snow makes me uncomfortable and is almost painful. I love your space and your artwork! 😊
@@librarian1701-D Oh I know!! My blinds are pulled down all the time too, and it's still too bright for me, but I don't want to move my table back to the wall 🥲 It's better in evenings though!
I have so many similarities! And I was born in the 60s...so generations apart but similar traits. I didn't speak til i was 4, I loved Lions (esp Aslan from Narnia books) I hated dolls but loved lions, i could go on but your story is so close to mine that it's a real gift for me. Thanks for this video.
@@librarian1701-D Oh how interesting!! I'm wondering if you still into lions? Because when I grew older I lost this passion, but as a kid I was obsessed 🙈
@@KsanaLes No i'm no longer into them, but was super obsessed as a kid. Now I love whales, octopus, dolphins sea life in general!
@@librarian1701-D Oh, I love whales and octopus too! But it also seems like now i get bird obsession out of nowhere :)
добрый день. у меня вопросы иного порядка. как я понимаю, в вашем восприятии мира эмоции все же есть, только очень ослабленные. или эмоций ограниченное количество? можно ли назвать такое восприятие мира - царством логики? или это царство покоя? спасибо
Can you make a video about grief?
🌲🌲🌲 спасибо за приятное видео)
Hi I ended up watching your video with English subtitles on your Russian channel I'm glad your are making videos to raise awareness! I'm not autistic myself but I have ADHD Inattentive, take care of yourself!
CZcams предложил мне ваши видео..... Посмотрел несколько. И могу сказать, что вам весьма повезло, что у вас есть понимающий муж, вы живете в стране из которой можете поехать спокойно в другую попутешествовать и есть медицина в которой отсутствуют сосветские стериотипы по которым СДВГ и аутизм не воспринимались как нечто реальное.
after 60 years here for me
Я в полном восторге от видео, от голоса, от главной героини❤❤❤ Умница, красавица, талантливая молодая женщина.
Så finns det en antydan till en riktning? Och vad driver dig till Lettland igen?
когда нибудь и я так буду жить, а пока буду учится :D
Спаибо, что снимаешь для нас видео🙏 они такие уютные, прямо чувствуется атмосфера спокойствия и комфорта
Спасибо большое!! 🥺
I'm currently stuck in that state of suffocation with my job and living situation. I took a promotion last year while my husband and I have been fortunate to stay with family while we save up money for a home of our own someday. Even with the funds we've been able to put back, the state of the world and the Western economy in particular makes it feel like it's only a drop in the bucket. And I am very disenchanted with my job -- an extreme introvert and high performing individual contributor stuck in a leadership role because I felt that it would be irresponsible to not accept the elevated position. Now I'm miserable at work and taking steps to climb back down the ladder and find a different path to walk. Your videos are so calming and reassuring. Thank you for sharing them. 💕
Your setup at the cabin is the exact life I'm dreaming of for myself. Off grid, A-Frame house in the woods with fairy lights and bonfires. I want to escape the city so badly.
You’re really a fantastic artist Ksana. But I notice that most of your pictures do not feature faces of people. Do you find that to be the case, that you more often avoid drawing faces or facial expressions? Could this be related to your autism?
Thank you! I'm not sure why you have such impression, I actually draw and paint faces 95% of time 🤔 Maybe check my instagram for more artworks, you can see it there ☺️
Thanks for the explanation. It’s based on the theory that people with autism may have potentially difficulty in reading facial expressions. But I can see from your drawings that you draw faces quite well. You’re a super talented artist - keep up the brilliant work!
Did you go to art school, or did you learn how to paint and draw by yourself?
@@dl4403 Yes, it's true about some autistic people, but I don't have problems with it actually! Thank you for kind words!
@@dl4403 I learned it by myself!
No thoughts is the worst yhing i ever had
How did you get this?
Dpdr blank mind . Brain fog out of body tunnel vision but blank mind is the worst thing i ever had in my entire life
Very nice artwork indeed
Those are some beautiful landscapes you have in Latvia 🇱🇻 we never get snow like that in or views like that in the Uk 🇬🇧 much love to you Ksana x PS your cat is adorable!!
Thank you!! We used to have longer winters like this before, now there were several winters completely without snow, unfortunately. Climate is changing 😔
sounds like bliss
Omg I thought u were a child - that’s the autism gift ., but not
I have a plan of not having a plan… I love that! ❤
My man Eric likes nature too. I am proud of him .
In 2015 I did drugs that led me to a psychotic episode in 2020... from then on I have had a blank mind. I learned it from meditation but also I guess its just natural. My mind always thinks negative so maybe it isnt blank. But it feels blank when I talk to people. I dont learn shit. I dont think of anything. My mind dont work 😢
Thank you so much!!❤
It's wonderful.
Спасибо! Я однажды легла на землю и увидела звёздное небо, это незабываемо!
Спасибо!
I am 70 and lived my whole life not responding to what I felt/feel the way others did/do. I've been accused of/diagnosed as being depressed or anxious and medicated to make it go away which made me flat inside. I won't take them anymore because I reflected on my life's circumstances and realized feeling depressed and anxious were appropriate experiences. Life was sucking or wonderful. I had to learn behavior modification to keep my behavior in check and my mouth shut. Sometimes I feel like my mind is a camera and I record the apparent information of what I see without knowing how I am to feel about it.
I also love autumn
Thank you for sharing. You are very well spoken. I am not autistic but I know someone who is. I forwarded her your video. Once I learned that my friend is autistic, it helped me to understand her so much better. 🙏😇🧚♂️
Im there with you, no thoughts, and I've never actually had friends.
It looks just like Maine. Those birch trees make the landscape around houses, equally charming.
Thanks for the video. Please keep sharing.
stop doing the same thing again and again
Hi
I just turned 36 and i'm officially getting diagnosed right now.., always knew that something was wrong with me though and i knew someone with aspergers who said i had it in my early 20's but i didn't believe that was it at the time.. :-) , also dealing with depression and anxiety (panic attacks) for some years now..
A beautiful video, a work of art. The music, the images, the words... artistic! And thank you.
Thank you for your honesty and sharing. I relate to everything you have said. Late in life but it's good to know the truth about myself.
