Ooo
I love this your channel is unique. I'm here 32 trying to figure out what to do with my life. This chanel for whatever reason brings inspiration
OMG, I want to write too....can write on the comments section my love letter too....pls!
It's crazy how EVERYONE sounds like a damn writer or poet. It's the power of love.
Maybe it's scripted...
@BiggRob300 I've never been in love and I write.
@@Gay-Icon they arent saying you HAVE to have been in love to write, they are just saying that those who have felt the power of love may have been able to express themselves through writing in very beautiful and powerful ways.

being in love shows the person who he should be -Anton chekhov
damn, they truly are poetics when it comes down to that. cole s letter was really great
Bruh, Cole should write NOVELS 😭. How do you even do that on a whim in a few minutes?? He's definitely the type to surprise you with creative gifts, I really wish a guy wrote to me like that. Whoever ends up with him will be very lucky.
damn right. I was like Damn it Cole . this is beautiful
Eh.. he admires, but he's not pursuing. Just lazily- you're a goddess, but different roads .
Man, he should step up to the plate and protect her for life
Eyyo who's this Cole?
@@askchatgpt790 Black guy w/ glasses 🤧.
Damn. I need a love like Cole has. Like wow. It got me crying.
[UPDATE] From Olivia -
I lost track on the number of updates, but, I think I owe y'all a new one as requested. Thank you all for being so awesome with not only my letter, but everyone else's heartfelt letters in this video. On with the update...
"J" and I are still in a blissful connection. We are bestfriends and the chemistry between us is undeniable! No doubt in my mind that we were made for each other. I still mean every word that I wrote in my letter and I hope to make more beautiful memories with my J. I love him with my life.💗 ... I'm getting teary eyed again lol Thank you all for your wonderful support and warm to the heart wishes for us. -Olivia (AKA "Girl with the black hat") ❤️💖
I'm so happy for you!
Thank you for the update Olivia. Wish you and J all the best🤗. Thank you for carrying us along on your beautiful journey 💞
Wish you the best
Aww I loved Olivia.
Love you 💖💖💖
Cole just seems like he has a total sense of understanding of his feelings. It's extremely impressive how he can convey them so eloquently in his writing and his speech.
He doesnt seem emotionally invested in his relationship.
He seems he has that ego that like if this wont workout he has plan b c d e f covered.
The words sounds like lustful. Bring in God is cop out.
Affection romance I didnt see it much.
That was one of the most beautiful poetic confessions I've ever heard in my life. He was just being honest, but I love the art.
@@Turnpost2552 I don't agree with you.
He definitely sounds like he loves her dearly but didn't want to scare her. A love letter 2 years ago is kinda crazy 🤣
He mentions how he everytime he'd try to get closer to her, she'd push away. So, feel that he was afraid of how she would react and therefore, he limited the words of affection. I still do think he loves her and I don't see any ego in what he wrote.
Oops...I thought Jake was Cole 😅 Nvm. Forget what I said.
But, I do feel that Cole is at a maturity level where he loves the girl but knows there's no possible way for them to be together. Not ego, but maturity.
"I love you passionately, genuinely, and wholeheartedly" is.. the most beautiful sentence ever??
Sure is
For real, that should be written in a novel or something
Yeah, that sentence makes me cry 😌
Yes, it's just like a Quote by franz kafka
Man that sentence struck me good! It was so beautiful
My soul is crying for all the unrequited love in this world. 💔
Same girl 😭😭😭😭
😔😔😔
Same, unrequited love just hurts too much :)
Aweee 💔
Just so sad
The one where she writes "I go to the mosque not to see god, but to see you" hit me. That was such a gorgeous but heartbreaking letter, goodness. Incredibly powerful.
From a religious perspective it's kinda problematic tho ngl
Nah she’s a L wife
@@dipper330def if the person she interested in is there to see God lol I tell ya right now it's the last thing ya want to tell a Christian I ain't here for God but you.
As a Christian who is off the path I would still be like the fuck you here for? Nah get the Bible.
@@dipper330- Yeah.. I’ve always disagreed with people who couldn’t get over their “past lovers” yet moved on onto someone new.. It’s so unfair to the new “lover”..😢
"No one deserves to have to hide who they love from anyone else"
Such true words.
Didn’t expect to cry about another strangers unrequited love today.
Same here
Yeah not the sort of thing I should have watched just after having a baby 🤦🏼♀️ now I'm sat sobbing while trying to make dinner 😅
Same ❤
I was not ready! Damn.
Cole the maturity of accepting that you are not romantically compatible is the most sensible thing I have heard my entire life , your writing in on level 100
I think he mentioned her life path and his life path is not romantically compatible
@@deepdiver849 thanks for the correction will reread
@@deepdiver849 i
You’re praising him for the bare minimum. He would have to take accountability sooner or later if any part of him is a man. It is his fault that his unwillingness to be monogamous is his downfall. He is the issue and this is not profound
@@diwi5823 sooner or later fact is he has accepted some go a life time without getting there
"You will always find me where I always am." I'm not sure why but this line really hit me good.
Heavy simping in that guy's text.
@@NietzscheanMan It's called "romance". Nobody that uses the term "simp" unironically is capable of being romantic.
Amazing
@@NietzscheanManhope you find happiness because you clearly don’t have it in any aspect of the word.
@@NietzscheanManheal yourself
“I loved you too early or maybe too late. You in this lifetime was never my fate” cryinggg😭😭😭💔
Second update:
It's very unfortunate to update that I am no longer in love with J for certain reasons. But we still remain good friends. Thank you, everyone, for all your amazing support!
I love that you gave it a chance no matter how long it lasted! I hope for even better things for you Olivia!❤️ Thank you for sharing!
You are such an original and genuine person 💛 💕
Good people always go Good places ....
Aww
Man I was really rooting for you.
You will find love again or maybe it will find you & It will be everything you’ve ever wished for❤️
“Every night I dream of you and I, I’ve seen you grow and your love has been a raft of the raging abyss that is my life. you are my definition of love, you are the reason I made promises to God to be the best version of myself. But now that our time has passed I fear specters will haunt my dreams of what could have been. so I wish you love life and happiness that you truly deserve, one that leaves you breathless exhausted, satisfied, and satiated. A love that you have given me. you heard the oath that I sang to the stars and I will always remain true, so please claim your kingdom and walk this earth as the goddess that you are you will always find me where I always am, forever in your heart into the stars watching over you as you sleep in this life and in the next”
His message is so beautifully written.
He needs to publish his writing 😭😭😭😭
this made me cry
You go, Cole!
Damn he loved that person so much
“Seeing you age over time makes it fell like I’m living life with you” I cannot relate but this was so deep and poetic it made me shed a tear
The way you wrote it made me feel like i saw you shed a tear.
The woman who is confessing her love to another woman.. describing her random feelings of sadness over a minimal task reminding her of the other woman. Wow. Extremely touching. So grateful she shared that.
She is married to a husband. Hmm. This doesn't make sense. Nonsense and a lie.
@@user-ct7zj8ry6spursuing homosexual relationships is a sin in their faith. she’s married to a man so she could be bisexual or closeted.
@@user-ct7zj8ry6s How do you not understand? Her religion does not allow her to be in love with another woman, so she got married to a man because she's not allowed to with a woman. You're so ignorant.
"Claim your kingdom and walk the earth as the goddess that you are"
What a profound statement!
Mindblowing 💥
Beautiful
Its purrfect😭😭😭
Shiiiid he gon get her back with that lol!!!
If someone wrote that about me, I would vomit, personally
Cole’s writing is what I aspire to have! Such a great letter for I bet a beautiful, kind, and deserving of a woman.
A love like that>>>>>>>
Wow, thank you for such kind words. Express yourself brotha! I had no idea people would react to my words, you'd be surprised at the responses!
Got barzzz
IKR THAT ONE LUCKY ASS WOMEN-
How old is Cole? He said important things.
I'm 33 years old and I haven't cried in over 20 years. Hearing the letter from the married woman secretly in love with another married woman really got to me. "There's a woman that would leave her whole world for You", just made me feel things I didn't know I had in me still. I cried for the first time in so long. Thank you for this.
Over 20 years?? Good thing you cried because it’s about time bro
You haven’t cried in 20 years? Jesus.
I understand the years. People expect you to be strong for so long and condition you not to feel. Thank you for sharing :)
I've never seen my best friend of 30 years cry. but she has neurosis
there is no greater love than Jesus's Love for he has sacrificed himself for all of us.
I use to write these secret love letters.. of a boy I met when I was 12.
We didn't even go to the same school, but one day in 8th grade our schools took a field trip to the same play, "A midsummer night's dream".
Throughout the huge crowd of middle schoolers all being shuffled inside a small auditorium, I locked eyes with a boy. Both of us couldn't look away, and for some reason in that moment I had to know him. I felt a deep longing out of nowhere that I couldn't let him out of sight.
Unfortunately, the teachers had separated us into different sections of the auditorium, so we would be sitting with our school. We both went separate ways. I don't even remember the play, I just remember The dread of not knowing how to find that boy, and sitting on the school bus to go home feeling.. emptiness. I was only 12, I had no idea what love was.. and this was not just a crush. It was a deep longing I couldn't explain.
A few months go by, and I have not stopped thinking about this boy. At this point, I have talked about it to all of my friends. Then, randomly I get a message from a best friend of mine on Facebook. "Is this the boy from the fieldtrip?".....
It was.
I couldn't believe it?? How did she find him??
I messaged him right away, knowing I'd sound like a weirdo stalker but I didn't care. He responded back that day with the same excitement, awe, and energy that I had. We immediately were best friends, had the exact same personalities, loved the same things. He was very deep, poetic, musically talented, and a very real person. We were both living with emotionally abusive single parents, and found comfort in eachothers ability to relate to one another.
He lived about an hour away from me. Its highschool now, and one day coincidentally, my best friend who I had gone to school with my whole life so far moved to his neighborhood and started attending the same high-school as him! On top of this. I didn't even know until she was telling me about her new friend group, and he was in her friend group 🥲. After this I was able to spend the night at her house over the weekends, and sometimes get to meet up with this boy because they were friends too..
Over the years me and him had expressed to eachother how Spiritually connected we felt, and it seemed no matter what there were always ties/coincidences in our lives keeping us connected without any effort on our parts. He had expressed to me that the day of the play, he felt a sense of sorrow when he lost sight of me, and also couldn't stop thinking about me for months afterwards until I reached out to him. Back then at just 14 years old, we swore we were soulmates. That one day we would be married for sure. We knew we couldn't be together then, because our parents always tried to keep us away. We also regularly would be isolated from the world by our parents, making it hard to stay in contact consistently with anyone. Let alone eachother.
Fast forward to a few years later were now 16. I move out of state, and we start to lose contact.. were still friends, but we haven't been talking to eachother nearly as much. We both at this point feel strong feelings for eachother, but both feel timid and like a burden to one another.. so ultimately neither of us reach out as much, ans when we do we try to keep it very platonic. I eventually start dating someone.
This guy I started dating became very controlling, and after 2 years of dating he made me block all the men I was friends with off my social media... this included "the boy from the play" .
The rest of this 8 year long relationship was loveless.. and at this point, my male best friend had been blocked for 6 years without any explanation from me. I couldn't help it, but as I was trapped in an abusive and controlling relationship.. I was still deeply, Spiritually, and completely in love with this boy from my past. I would have reoccurring nightmares where I am desperately searching for him, and I would wake up feeling totally devastated. I couldn't even tell my current partner. I couldn't tell anyone else either, because my partner use to read through all of my messages with friends and family..
One day I finally snapped and left my partner after 8 years. I told him that I need to unblock this boy, and find closure because it's ruining my life. At that point I didn't know what would happen. I just would rather die alone than suffer in silence in a loveless and Spiritually draining relationship any longer. I wanted to tell my old friend that he never did anything wrong to be kicked from my life. That he changed my life in hundreds of ways. I wanted to tell him that he is my purest example of love, and that I have tried to find him in other people ever since.. only to realize that there's no one like him. I have tried to form other people into the shape of him, only to realize the pieces never fit. I wanted to tell him that I would rather be alone forever, than be with someone that is not him...
Instead, I just said. "Hi! 😍"
Fast forward to this morning. A year and a half later.
I wake up at 12pm, to the sounds of soft guitar coming from downstairs. Walk down the stairs wrapped in a blanket, and "the boy".. my boy... greets me at the bottom of the stairs. He's so handsome, it's a breath of fresh air every time I see him. Behind him, the room is so warm as the sun shines through the windows. Sun catchers project rainbows all around the room.
He asked me "would you like some coffee?" "Yes please" I reply.
I'm sitting at the kitchen table. Sat on it are flowers he had just brough home for me the day before, asking me to be "his valentine". I smile to myself as I replay the moment in my head. he makes coffee in his pour over. He steams my milk, and adds 3 teaspoons of sugar. Just how I like it 🥺.
He hands me the cup and I realize that he didn't even make himself any, he just wanted to make sure I had some 💗. He gives me a kiss and goes back in the sun room to continue playing his guitar. I sit next to him, admiring the way he puckers his lips as he plays. Our cat and dog come over to sun bathe with us and soak in the music.
I turn to him and say "you not only make me so happy, but you actively truly enhance my life on a daily basis. You fill every moment with complete peace and romance, you take care of me in ways I didn't even know I needed.. and I feel every moment when we are together was made for us solely. The world slows down, and the worries fade. You every single day are my safest space."
And the way this man leans in and looks me in my eyes, as the sun shines on his. Making his brown eyes so warm 🥺, and he says to me "I love you so incredibly much. You are so important to me, Kira."
And it's a moment from a story book. Every moment with him, since the day we met.. is straight out of a story book.
I didn't know life could feel magical, until I finally had him by my side every day. He heals my inner child, and we both feel like we have something no one else does.
It is beautiful to see others sharing this raw emotion that I suffered with in silence for 13 years. It took 13 years to find eachother again, a person we were always destined to be with.. I hope everyone gets to find their person..
Truly happy for you, you are blessed.
“I do not need the rivers of honey and lavish cushions we are promised” fucking hell, this broke my heart.
"I just want to be in your arms"
@@raseelvk still heartbroken over this 3 weeks later.
THAT MESSED ME UP OKAY?!😭😭
@@siyandamavimbela4435 yeah, it’s been a month and I’m still fucked up from this.
Heresy.
I could cry for ages about that married woman's letter to another married woman. I could cry and cry and cry forever and ever. I can't imagine the longing and pain and above all, the love she feels to so easily express that she could walk away from her current life to start a new one with her love. Wow.
Gosh her letter literally hurts my heart 😕
That letter was deep.
I think her admitting that she would leave her life behind as it is now for her stabs me the most, because it's just so real.
If my partner and I weren't together right now I could totally see that being me. And in a way it already _is_ me.
Right!!??? 😭😭😭😭😭
I’ve relistened to this letter so many times in the past hour and I’m still crying. So heartbreaking
The letter from the woman so deeply in love with her friend was so well written, genuinely beautiful. I cried. I am so sorry to that woman. You deserve happiness.
Imagine to be loved so intensely by someone like this but they’ll never tell you🥺 and omfg Cole’s letter was beautifully written.
Some of us don’t gotta imagine lol I still think abt her but already accepted we’re not meant for each other even tho she was one of the only people I had a connection with since I’m very closed up & she was persistent in getting me to open up & will forever be grateful to her for that because she changed my life but do to the circumstances I knew it wouldn’t work out & later on when I tried getting close to her again i felt her distance & realized that if she had interest before I was to late & sure enough I found out she had someone else but I still remember the promise we made to each other that whoever left the job first would go visit one another & I never went through because I have feelings for her & didn’t want to torture myself however she would visit often even tho it wasn’t for me & It was torture seeing her eyes & beautiful smile again catching feelings all over again only to know I couldn’t have her
@@mexican_wbc9946 Man, how sad your story with that girl is, I'm sure she loves you very much even if it's not in the same "romantic" way. I hope it's not too much pain for you. You still have to move forward and not stagnate.
@@elenamortuno9226 well I’m not sure about her loving me in anyway but I’ve made peace with that & I have been taking steps to move on, I even quit my old job so I wouldn’t be in the place we met & if she ever visits again I won’t be there. I am a lot better now, I’m not so attached to that experience anymore, but at times after experiencing other people I can’t help but think maybe there is no other her & never will be maybe everything & everyone after her will only be bits & pieces of what I experienced with her but I guess that’s what a first love is an experience never to be had again. I’ve accepted there is No forgetting her just embracing her as a part of the journey into self growth but I struggle to fully let go, at times I’m doing good & other times I’m looking in the streets for her candy red car in hopes of seeing her again. I believe maybe it is the fact that I never confessed to her how I felt & I don’t know whether she’s unaware or more than likely aware thinking I’m a coward not knowing the depth of my reasoning for not confessing which I guess at the end are all excuses. I never knew whether the feelings were mutual whether there was a possibility or none at all but to reach out to her now after being ghosted would not only be foolish but it would also mean taking a step bck, I’d rather just leave it to destiny & trust the process but the thought of her still comfort me in those times when I feel alone. Your right I can’t remain stagnant but sometimes it feels as if she was the only one to ever see me & see I’ve actually made peace with the outcome but i still get inspiration to write about what I felt for her in times like these when it is brought back to my attention so what should I make of that?
@@mexican_wbc9946ay homie you did good. you put your heart out there and that’s a beautiful thing. some men never let themselves truly fall in love with a woman bc they don’t see her value and they treat women horribly. to have loved means you really cared and you can treat a woman right. don’t give up hope. I have been longing and heartbroken for 10 years. there’s a point where you gotta try to let your heart write a new story. god bless u
so should I tell him? i'm in a state of place where I still haven't figured out my own complex image problems and stuff, so idk what to do. I love him, I do very much. I don't think I've ever loved anyone like i've loved him. it's been a lot of years and I can't seem to pause. and I don't seem to say that to him for years ahead as well.
“A seed was planted, a seed of inspiration, love, and energy. But you are running in a different field, shopping in a different store, swimming in another lake.”
I understand this.
This was the best letter!!! So emotional and honest.
"I loved you too early or maybe too late"
This video wrecked me. The whole time I was thinking of him, I found something that reminded me of him in every letter and I cried and grieved my unrequited love, I lost him before even starting, thank you Thoraya, this video has been the one that brought the most raw emotion from me.
Hey, life will be good. Trust and hope, hugs 🤗
I totally understand that feeling
I can relate
💖 I saw a quote not long ago that said, “We loved each other, we just never got the timing right.” I’ve learned that we have our own ideas about how we should get to share our love for someone; but very often, God’s plan is different. As is His intention for our love. There are many ways to express love for someone without being in a romantic relationship with them. I think of it like this now:
“Every time I do something kind or selfless for someone else, I think of you. And in that way, I’m doing that thing for you as well. My only hope and request is that those acts of goodness mean something to you, and that you are reminded that someone loves you that much.”
That line is so relatable. My ex & I were together for 4 years & split when I was 22. I'm now 47& have been in a serious relationship for 14 yrs yet my ex & I r still very much in love but in different ways. We speak regularly (he is now my father's official carer & his best friend) Even tho we didn't get along for a few yrs he still wholeheartedly believes I'm the only 1 for him, that we are soul mates & that it is in our destiny to be together. He has had other girlfriends but has decided he won't settle for anyone else & has stopped looking. I love his intelligence & wit & love hanging out with him but I feel absolutely nothing for him sexually & he is a very sexual person. I truly want him to be happy, he deserves to be loved but I know despite my love & affection for him im not "the one" My partner & I have less in common but we do love each other very much. He adores me & I've never been treated more like a queen,all day every day. The thing is although we r very touchy feely,always holding hands & stroking each other's arms, back etc we don't have sex. And we r both very happy without it. If I WAS a sexual person tho I honestly don't know who I would be with....this feels like a secret they both know or maybe more a confession
EDIT, I DON'T LEAD MY EX ON, NOT AT ALL YET I STILL FEEL GUILTY BUT AM NOT SURE WHY, MAYBE BECAUSE I FEEL THAT I COULD LIFT HIS DEPRESSION BY BEING WITH HIM YET I CHOOSE TO BE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. ???
I know no one will care but here goes. "I have known you since we were 7 years old and I stood up for you when you were being picked on by the other kids. We have been close ever since. I have loved you longer than I knew what love is. I never felt worthy of you and I hid my love all the way till we went to college together.I was always there after every break up you had with some guy that used and abused you. I reminded you that you were special whenever I could. I saved your life when you tried killing yourself after you texted me goodbye. I stayed with you as you recovered and got your life back. When you told me you were going to get married and asked me if there was any reason I shouldn't and asked me "do you have feelings for me?" I wanted to say "YES! All my life YES!". But I didn't. I knew you loved this man and this was a good man as well. I would rather die than keep you from the happy ending you deserve. It is the reason I moved away. I sometimes check up on you through your social media. While it hurts me, it also fills me with happiness seeing you and your family. I would never tell you any of this. Its not my place to shake your world up. I am 42 now and still think of what might have been. I will love you until I die, and that will be in a couple years after this cancer is done with me. Goodbye my love. You will be my last happy thought when I pass."
I'm so sorry this is what happened to you. You did so much for her, you were always there. This got me bawling crying. I'm really sorry about your cancer too, I hope you spend next few years enjoying yourself as much as you can
I'm so sorry 😔 Please have hope in God that if you die, He can bring you back to life. (Acts 24:15)
🥺🥺🥺🥺
this got me so bad. i wish you an eternity of happiness and love.
ugh mannnn this comment just destroyed me!! Hope you heal from cancer man
Still going after over two years and much stronger than ever before. Don't take love nor anyone for granted. Love is fragile and should be cherished. I'm extremely grateful. I know "J" is my soulmate. 💗💖💝
Thanks for the update!
Wow, I'm so happy you ended up with him! You wrote a very meaningful confession.
I'm really crying, genuinely crying.
"You are the reason I made promises to God to be the best version of myself"
I can't anymore😭😭😭
Imagine someone loving you that deeply😭
Hello, i have just uploaded a poem on my channel could you please💖share it with your friends and tell me if you like it, i would really appreciate it
This is deep😭😭
The poem from one lady to the other married woman was so powerful to me. "I have gone to the mosque, not to meet god, but you."
It made me tear up. Just her, wanting to see this woman, that being such a light in her life. And her husband asking her why she sometimes gets sad.
There is a novel hiding in that letter...
it is very sad, either she is religious but also very challenged with her sexuality (thats why she is married to a man) OR she is not genuinely religious but has/had lots of fear of what will happen if she comes out. Because the sentence "I came to the Mosque not to meet God, but you" literally means God is not the most important thing for her and that couldnt a 100% believing person say, it is hard to imagine for me.
But this world is our challenge our exam, if she suppresses her urges she will be rewarded
Her words made me cry .. Just relatable..
Humans are not Gods
When you meet love,or your own ability to develop love for someone ,or yourself,haven’t you met god already?!
I hope Cole's friends do nothing but big him up for how amazing his words and thoughts were.
Man needs to put more of this into the world!
There‘s those social experiments that solely exist to expose how stupid or mean people can be. And then there‘s beautiful and touching things like this! Love, pain, bravery and poetry ❤
11:09 "Her life path and my life path are not romantically compatible, probably not. Maybe not in this life time anyway." there's so much in the quote, it's powerful. He completely understands that they get along, but maybe how and where they grew up or how their lifestyles and end goals are completely different, a relationship would not work in the long run. Maybe it's bad timing, but I've felt this with other people too. But what I love about his words is that, maybe in another life, before or after, that love was meant to be... and he's completely ok with that.
Thank you for catching this 🙌🏾

The last letter read by the woman in mask was soo touching and heartbreaking ! I wanna fall in love like the way that person did :'(
Their religion and culture frown upon such relationships, besides both being married, and that stops her from expressing her feelings to her friend.
Did anyone realise that the piece of paper of that letter has a different format? It couldnt have been written by a stranger...
@@Charlyeatsworld she said those were written into her on Instagram not by people there.
That one made me cry. How beautiful and heartbreaking. It makes a great story.
F
Their faces change so intensely when you start to imagine the person you live and truly think about them. It's so beautiful to see.
The married woman letter to her secret love- another married woman tugged at my heart strings and had me crying for the whole evening because I too am a married woman who is secretly gay since I was 14.
I am now 33. I lead a pretentious life to keep peace to people around me. Sometimes I wonder whether I was born only to bear pain and suffering.
The tiny speck of hope that someday I will live freely is what keeps me going. I foolishly hold onto the belief that someday I will meet the woman of my dreams and when that happens, I would love her unconditionally and wholeheartedly.
Start today moving towards yourself. Promise it open up wonderful things. Speaking from experience. Also, keep me posted ❤
Tell them.
I hope you haven’t selfishly created a family with children?! Or lied to partners all your life! It’s wrong I don’t understand how gay people do this to others and then play the victim!
@@who798 Tbh when you live in an environment that tells you feelings for the same sex is wrong. Always hearing that same sex relationships are demonic and disgusting, and you might be ostracized by the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally. It’s likely, especially when you were born before the 2000s, that you were just forced to suppress your feelings so your life and relationships don’t burn to the ground and try to live the life society tells you you’re supposed to live. It’s unfortunate, but I do sympathize with older lgbt people in these situations cus it’s really a societal issue.
@thomas1810 100% agree
This video is really interesting because it puts people in a position where that have to express feelings they were just going to keep hidden. I don’t think I could ever do this, but good for these people.
Kinda sadge
I would have if she kept me anonymous and changed my voice haha.
@@UnknownAz actually yeah if it was anonymous I might of done it
"I loved you too early or maybe too late,
You in this lifetime was never my fate."
I felt this hard.
❤️❤️
😔
I cried….
I've been in love with a girl for years, I thought that telling her how I felt would take that weight off my shoulders, I never thought it would be reciprocated. I never thought that she could feel the same way and I did it to be calm, which is a little selfish. But it turns out that she felt the same. I thought that by telling her I would stay calm, but now it has generated more mental struggles, my brain reminds me every night of what could have been.
6 years of lost time, I felt in love so early, and confess so late...
If you reading this, don't waste time, say what you feel. Fall in love, we are going to die anyway.
For me I still think abt this girl but I genuinely feel like we’re not meant for each other & although I don’t know her well enough to decide if she’s good for me based on certain situations I believe she’s not & maybe that’s just my habit of thinking negatively when it comes to love but I wrote something abt how I felt abt seeing her again every time she visited my job
I wonder if she knows that her presence haunts me days after she reappears, if she does it purposely with the intent of torturing me or if she genuinely as innocent as she appears
I confessed my love for someone after much internal agonizing. I didn't do it hoping they would feel the same way, in fact I knew they didn't. I'm not their type of person, but I told them because it was killing me keeping it bottled up inside. They are a confidant, someone I share with and open up to. I made it clear that it was my problem, not theirs, and that after me admitting it I wouldn't do anything to make them uncomfortable.
I gotta admit it did provide me some temporary relief, but I am feeling the same exact way I did before. I haven't brought it up, hinted it, or even mentioned anything remotely related but I find my feelings for them are just as strong, if not stronger than before. I will never mention it again, because I know they will never feel the way about me that I do about them, so it serves no purpose. Not to mention they already know I feel, so if somehow something changes for them they can approach me.
It is pure agony being in love with someone that will never return it, not being able to turn it off and avoid it.
I feel you. In my experience, the worst pain is when I can’t be as vulnerable as I want with them because of how I feel and I need to protect myself…and wondering if that makes me a bad friend.
Have you thought of perhaps moving on from this person as in just no longer communicating or associating with them any longer? I know in some circumstances it's almost impossible because they're in your innermost circle but if you can make it happen, if it is possible, you owe it to yourself
Pure agony
@@Neellohit can you explain this more?
Can i ask is this person a man or a woman? You don’t have to answer of course. And can they not love you because of sexuality or are they simply not in love with you?
I can't believe so many perfect strangers are so willing to make themselves vulnerable on these videos! You have an incredible power Thoraya!
Deep down everyone just wants to be heard ❤️ I love these
Wish I'm physically there too and write one 😊
That guy Cole, he should be a writer. I love how his piece sounded so poetic and just pro-like; And to have all that written down on the spot is just👌
I hope everyone finds love they all deserve❤
I came here to say EXACTLY this!
His letter took my breath away!
Agree, very much with you both. My very thought was, so poetically articulate. He seems like a genuine caring person and gentleman.
he sounded like fuxking Noah from the notebook
I cried on his, shit hits home
Oh dude he's already a writer. That man was born to it. No doubt in my mind.
I hope the girl that read the last letter gets to live her life openly with love and acceptance ❤️
There is nothing more utterly human then the love one has for another. It’s amazing how it makes everything write sound like poetry.
So happy for Jake to have received such a kind reply from her.
*But did he get the girl, that's what I want to know?* 🤔
@@libratude9595 Hmm I didn't feel like that was the case, but not sure... might have to hear the backstory again
@@joao13soares Yeah, I think it's definitely still her move.
Jake's letter hit me hard. hope they ended up together

Update #4:
"J" asked me on a date! I'm so happy, excited, & hopeful! 💕
Should I keep posting updates?
Let me know in the comments on this post 💗
So excited for you!
I hope everything goes well and wish you the best! You are brave :)
You are so sweet! I hope you have a great date and keep posting updates
I LOVED YOUR LETTER! 🌸
Sure, if you feel you want to share your experience, it'll be nice!
Good luck on your date! 🌼
Yes we do want updates❤
It’s incredible how a short time can produce a bond and affection so deep. I had no idea what I was in store for, but it was certainly fate that constructed our meeting. It conspired to push us together at the right moment… and my heart weeps that it separated us far too soon. I can only hope fate favors this love, because, for me, it might be the true love I’ve been after the whole time. And I desire with my whole heart and being to requite again. I pray directly to gods heart that I will see you again, and that there is plenty more… a lifetime, waiting for us. ❤
it’s been beautiful.
I wholeheartedly hope things work out for the both of you. Everyone deserves to be happy, even better if spent with the one that you love deeply.
Thoraya, you have such a raw gift for showing the raw layer of humanity and it's something so beautiful to see. Please never stop your craft. Every video i've seen from you is one that causes me to listen and fully sink into the stories and time you spend with every person you capture. I've never seen a form of art like this and it strikes me everytime. Thank you for blessing us with your content.
Update # 3:
I fell out of love and eventually fell back in. Sometimes, it's just the timing that holds us back. I honestly still have some hope in my heart... and it aches. Thank you to those who have been rooting for me, for all your amazing support. Maybe you'll see me/us again in another Thoraya video. 💗
Wishing the best for you! 💕 ✨
Oh Olivia, glad to know about the new update out here. Your letter was so simple yet beautiful just like 'love' itself is. Praying for the best to happen with you, dear. 🙏
Olivia, I know we don't know each other, but I wish and pray that you find in this life what you deserve. Fullness of happiness, and fulfillment in your heart. Whatever path life takes you through, I hope it leads to a better state always. I wish you the very best
take care queen
WOOOO YOU GO QUEEN
Cole is actually a good representation or at least the part of him that’s as shown in this video of what I want in a bf . That letter was everything
Don’t know if you believe in angel numbers, but you hit 444 with your likes. Which means - good luck and good, strong, fulfilling love is coming your way 💕
Dont ever be afraid to love and to show it. It may bring a lot of pain even in a long run but as you get older you will never regret expressing yourself
I am a firm believer that when you grew attached to someone...and they or you simply out of nowhere leave and don't contact them for months or even years...a part of you dies. It's symbolic, and it hurts in a way.
Coles letter was so beautiful and well written, wish him all the best x

I wrote hundreds for her. She was always happy like a little girl, just like the first time she read a love-letter in her life.
If you somehow read this comment, I want to tell you: I still love you, after all this time...
It hurts everyday without you.
Cole really surprised me and blew my mind with the eloquency, honesty and maturity of his words.
Cole has a poetic way with words, it’s lovely and made me tear up! 🥲
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised
Thank you!
@@cybersyndicate1645 wait fr- ok but THAT WAS AMAZING, I really hope she had a good response but I definitely would
The final person's love letter was so heartbreaking. To love someone so deeply, for so long, and to never feel safe enough to be who you are and to love who you love...
That's such a sad reality for so many. It's unfortunate that the utter strength and courage needed to live in one's truth can come at such a steep cost.
With all my heart, I wish her the freedom and love she deserves. ❤️
Absolutely 💯
The last letter broke my heart to pieces, oh how I understand her pain !
I'm completely destroyed. Unrequited love is the worst because you feel so much love that has no place to go. ❤️😭
my favourite is probably 13:33. “i’m so blessed to have known you, to have loved you . not many people get to love someone like that” imagine how much someone must love you to write about you like that
I am one of them 🤡
“Maybe in our next lives.” That line always hits you right in the core.
that line or any line will hit you only if you let it to
In another life vibes
Yeah
Cole is talented. Loving someone with the understanding that due to lifestyle differwncea you couldn't be together is difficult but accepting it shows depth in maturity and soul. I love Cole for that. And the married lady to the woman she loves 😢 sheesh!
Cole needs to be a writer, my god! Who could reject that?! 😳❤
The married woman’s love to another married woman was/is so deep 🥺 wow, that kind of love for another person is so rare, so raw, and so genuine. ♥️ I am sad that she never got the chance to tell her … 😒
Yes, I can feel their love 😓
It is so rare
Can you please do a FRIENDSHIP version?🤞🤞🤞
Great idea!
I would really enjoy watching that. Great idea!
My boy Jake just started it
Omg yesss
Looking forward to it
Thank you all for this. My great love died recently and I'm so glad we both knew what a miracle we had. Always let love speak
As someone who struggled with self-esteem and missed many opportunities in love, I was cheering these people on to send it to the person they wrote it for. Never be afraid to express your feelings. Never be afraid to approach that person. Never be afraid to take a chance. The scariest decisions in my life turned into the greatest changes. Remember that failure is not the opposite of success. It's part of the journey to it.
I fell in love with someone who’s no longer here and I never got to tell him because his passing was sudden. He was my best friend, genuinely the love of my life. I’ve never sparkled before until I met him. He made me, me. I was whole. So to anyone out there who’s struggling to tell someone you love them: Please do it. It’s worth it. Even if you get denied, you got to feel love and feel what it’s like to love somebody. Say it incase one day it’s too late. Love is truly beautiful… even feeling it for just a second.
I can totally relate and I’m crying! I miss him so much it hurts!
God, my whole world would be crushed if my best friend went away...
Monique….He knows now. He is always with you in spirit.
So sorry for your loss.
We never talked but made only eye contacts a few times.Idk if he knows my name...
How do I tell him?!How?!
My heart aches
The mosque one was so beautiful and so powerful and sad, oh to be loved like that ❤❤
9:00 his letter was just amazing! All of them are!, ❤️
12:13 Beautiful writing
Hearing how guys express genuine love always makes me so emotional because we don’t hear it much
We are capable of loving someone for real, sadly we don’t get accepted by that person. After going through the pain we end up shutting down our hearts 😢 but deep down we still hope that person may come back but it’s an unreal hope.
Hi
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life.
Can we talk?
i blame society that teaches us to keep every emotion and feeling to ourselves cuz it's "girly" to reveal them, not to cry, not to confess, not to get help, etc. while at the same time forcing us to do it otherwise we are dummies and virgins/losers... it's hard to get out of there and mostly because it's not something that's talked a lot about with men and boys, it's like the fear to darkness, or can even become worse like a phobia and evolve into depression to know we couldn't do it and that we have been less lucky than others, it will just take time to go away and it will require lots of bravery to say "fucc you i can do it". For me it's fine because i'm not the love type and i still prefer my introverted lonely life so confessing to someone wouldn't be fruitful anyway, i rather just make friends instead and be that friend that supports lol.
Because the moment I man tell how he feels he will be rejected. Better to keep emotions to yourself.
@@JavierS83 yeah
Olivia's was so heartfelt and beautiful.
Cole's was romantic and poetic.
Jake's was sweet and hopeful.
I wish them all deep love. 💙
People need this nowadays. The text on a screen can be so cold. Just having something physical is an endearing feeling of release.
6:56 This woman has a big heart. I can tell. You can see her shake as she lifts the paper. You can see how afraid she is.... but I'm so proud that she pushed past that fear!! (And based on her comment in this comment section, I'm so happy for her!!) IM ROOTING FOR HER ALL THE WAY!!
All those involved had big beautiful hearts. You can tell they all wrote from their heart and not their mind, especially Cole and Olivia.
I hope everything works out and goes well for everyone in life. Remember to be kind to yourself and to others. What you put out is what you will receive in life. Trust the way of life as it will, eventually, come together.
That letter from the woman who was married and in love with a woman who is also married and she talked about going to the Mosque to see her, destroyed me! I was bawling my eyes out! Like the woman who read it, I can relate. It's a brutally terrible place to be!
Isn’t that kinda unfair to her husband though? That’s the kinda shit that has me reluctant to pour my all!!!
@best kept , ty for that
It is unfair to her husband, but they probably didn’t marry out of love
Was in the same situation had a boyfriend fell in love with a girl. Wrote her a Facebook message a week ago. Bravest hardest thing I ever did. This was 13 years ago and I never told her until a week ago.
@@irislove2553 what was her response?
Cole's letter was incredible. Wow. Some girl will be so lucky to be with him.
He fucking snapped Bruv
Sadly whores will take guys like him for granted
Most definitely
Cole is a legend
all of these people are incredibly brave, you can see they hold a lot of love in their hearts
Cole and Olivia write so poetically, romantic and beautiful🌸 Imagine receiving a letter like this!! 🌸 🍃 🌸 🍃 🌸
*_💞 This is my letter ✍🏾_*
_We were friends, we were young and we used to share popcorn in the evenings. I asked you if you wanted one all for yourself but you said "no," you wanted to share with me. I couldn't tell if you were trying to tell me something at the time...All I knew was that my heart skipped a beat. I jumped around with a grin from ear to ear in my kitchen, dancing to the sounds of the popcorn popping in the microwave. There was something blossoming between us but I couldn't quite tell what it was._
_Sadly, you moved away. I was upset for a year. I talked to the moon and stars about you. I wanted you to come home but I knew you had already made yourself a new home._
_By the time we were both old enough to get a phone, I searched for you everywhere from platform to platform, through friends and mutuals but I couldn't find you. I didn't even know your surname - we were just kids._
_Seven years later of faded thoughts about you and memories too strong to let go of, I finally made up my mind to search for you again and this time I found you._
_You look just as handsome as you were when we were kids. I still remember your baby face more than ever and I'll never get to physically see that face again - That version of you, locked away in my memories. I will only get to see that face again through pictures and what my memory still holds of you. Right now, we're just friends and we're both making the effort to rekindle our friendship._
_You don't know this but I love you ❤️_
owww so deep🥺🥺🥺
Beautiful 💜💗
So beautifully written. Why are you so sure that you won’t ever see them in person?
I hope you two stay together. 🙏🙏🙏❤️
What a beautiful letter 🥺 when you wrote that “you searched on every platform” I felt that so deeply, I’ve been there but I never found him so I accepted that I’m probably not meant to😞, but I’m so happy that your story is different and wish you the best ❤️ with your friend.
The Muslim woman at the end, that just ripped my heart out, shredded it, and threw it at my feet.
I agree with the woman who read it; no one should have to hide who they love because of what someone else thinks is right....
As a person who feels very lonely all the time, even if i'm around people. This makes me tear up (happy tears) knowing that there might still be someone/people out there who would love me.
I first watched this video a few months after it was uploaded, and since then, I've found myself thinking of that poem every moment I get to myself. Deciding to come back to this video to hear it again was unexpectedly comforting. I expected to feel the initial sorrow I felt when I first heard those words, but instead, I felt acceptance and contentment. It's odd, though, liberating to me to acknowledge that the feelings I hold so intensely are not mine alone. There are people out there who have endured great love and greater loss, and I hope nothing but fulfillment and serenity for all those who have to harbor the heartache that comes with unrequited love
That letter from the woman to her lover but they both had husbands was incredible, so powerful.
Yea screw the husbands. Am I right? I hope it's also "powerful" when it's a married man confessing his love for a married woman.
@@sfactor7 if the letter was as tragic as the one in the video probably. art is full of unrequited love, it's a very universal experience
@@sfactor7 They're Muslim and arrange marriage is common. If they have a choice whom to love they wouldn't be stucked in this ordeal.
@@sfactor7 Imagine being a kid and finding out your mother wrote this. Hopefully this isn’t a possibility, hopefully this woman isn’t so selfish as to bring an innocent child into this world knowing that she’d be 100% willing to shatter his world if the opportunity to be with her secret love ever presented itself
I don’t think they were lovers. The letter implied that the other woman didn’t know her best friend’s sexual feelings for her. At least, that was my impression.
I'm more of a silent watcher, but I wanted to say your videos are beautiful and amazing. They remind me to be kind to everyone because you never know what someone is going through. The amount of bravery these people have to express their stories to other strangers and the bravery and creativity you have to go out and ask others these different questions that most people don't ask is incredible. Thank you for letting people have a chance to express their story. Thank you for sharing these masterpieces with us❤
*Not silent
My sentiments exactly. Thanks for expressing them for me.
I hope all these letters are received with the same love they were written with ❤️‼️💯
Wow. This is so precious and so real. Thank you for all the bravery you guys to show yourselves so openly and vulnerably.
Vulnerability and authenticity is what we need to be able to connect on deeper level ♥️
No one will guess that people are so poetic until it comes to love. Love makes you feel things deeper and forgood or bad, it makes you either a better or worse version of you.
Loving someone and accepting the fact that you two are not compatible in this lifetime is such a matured decision. Thanks, Cole for reminding us!
She was a foolish girl to let you get away Cole. Same for all these good and genuine people.
Super powerful and cathartic for many of us watching I’m sure. Thank you thank you to the awesome men and women who shared their hearts so openly, at least with us. The guy who actually text-sent his letter is awesome.
The letter from the woman to the other woman, the woman who goes to the mosque to look not for her god but for her friend, was so beautiful and heartbreaking. It made me want to cry.

I’ve come back to this video to rewatch it because it’s so beautiful. I cry every time.
I hope those two women find eachother. There is a heavy spot in my heart right now over that letter, it just feels wrong if religion got in the way that’s so fucked up and I yearn for their happiness
