For those waiting for life to happen

- čas přidán 3. 08. 2020
- I decided to turn one of my journal entries from early-quarantine into a video. During that time I was thinking about all the times we hold ourselves back or wait around for something to happen instead of taking the lead.
And I was also watching a lot of films.... A lot.

Wow! This video has been getting a lot of attention lately haha. I made this video two, almost three years ago during the height of lockdown. I've learned and grown a lot since making this video, but this was truly a pure form of self expression for me at the time. I needed something to hang onto and look forward to back then and this was the result. Glad this is able to resonate with some of you! Thank you :) -Riza
BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THE WORLD LYSM
what camera setup did you use to shoot this? it looks so nice haha
absolutely awesome
Hey Riza, are you single? 🤭😊
This quote from Vivian Greene is now a tattoo on my body and soul - "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning how to dance in the rain."
may i steal that for my next tat lol
This.. hits me right in my heart.
Thanks for the sharing haha
@@engineergaming8920 what does this even has to do with the comment??
this is mine now
@@thesundancekid4372 pretty ironic your username is Sundancekid lol. Pretty simple, the sun doesn't shine all the time
"And even if we fail, what better way is there to live?"
Emphasis on that part! ❤
Was going to comment this exact same
A way that leads us to success. Failure is not bad but success is undoubtedly better
@@-SimonRiley Success usually comes after failure for me lol
@@kkottii Obviously behen, but saying that it's fine to fail and never progress is false. It's OK to fail but it's certainly not ok to stay like that forever. One should always keep striving for success because that's a waaaaay better way to live than where you previously were
@@-SimonRiley I don't think anyone said that "it's fine to fail and NEVER progress". Keep striving and working hard, good things will eventually find their way to you. And so will success. But the journey to reach that destination involves failure for a lot of people which can be demotivating. It can make people give up. The point here is to embrace it, get over it and become a better version of yourself :)
This made me cry.
I love people who have the courage to express their creativity.
You need courage for that?
@@XX-bn9sflmfao
I believe courage is needed because creating and art are inherently vulnerable.
At 79, I can safely say Life has indeed happened. I’ve always said I have had a truly charmed life. Photography has been an important part of my life, now exploring video. Keeps the brain warm, you know? And, I’m still hoping life continues to happen. For you too!
Yayayyayaya
Congratulations!!!!
Aww sweet. I'm so happy for you!
I am 53 and still waiting for the bus.
@@XX-bn9sf Get on it
"Learn to be happy even if things aren't perfect." Best advise I have given to myself and now I want to share it with you all. Thank you for this video.
happiness comes from the heart while perfection comes from the mind. Of course, happiness can be imperfect
That's legit...
I'll try
Love this! I used to chase perfection and burnout at the end. Now I am like : just give me some messy buns, unexpected detours and let me find some belly laughs moments in the journey😂
This can't be a coincidence. Today was my last day at my job and I came home feeling so empty. I went on CZcams and this was the first thing that was recommended to me. Thank you!
Good luck with your new life!
Crazy ! I'm experiencing the same emotion after 22 years with the same company - Friday 5/26/2023 was my last day at by far the best job I ever had. All the boxes were checked for defining what the optimal job would be for me. It's a tough one to lose but updated my resume and hoping for the best. This video truly resonated with me too. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
Congratulations on your retirement, Mike! please remember job/work is only one aspect of life.. not "the life".
How are you doing now? I hope you are great!
I quit my job as a doctor last week (after 24 years), and I am training to be a commercial airline pilot.
This is some Hollywood blockbuster level quality. Script, cinematography and even sound is beyond impressive. This ‘twenty-something-year-old Filipino girl from Canada’ simply swallowed all “filmmakers” from this platform with a 4 minute video. Amazing! I can see a great future filmmaker coming. Thanks for this MASTERPIECE, Riza.
Masterpiece for real. Bravo
Agree! After watching her videos it inspire me to start making documentary. but after trying to learnt all those flim making skill so hard, only then I realize it is still a long way for me to reach her level...
REAL
Absolutely captivating. 10/10
This is brilliant.
"You have to do things, you have to take risk, it's the only way to find out who we really are and what we wanna to do with our time on this earth. And even if we fail, what better ways are there to live."❤
I’m pretty introvert, often negative, and I’ve been waiting around 35 years for "life to happen", sometimes thinking that movies can come true (they rarely do) and I’ve recently taken some babysteps to do my own thing, but I honestly have to say that this randomly found video was an immense push for my barely positive mindset. Thank you.
good luck!
hey, I recommend that you try meditating or getting into spirituality. For me, it has helped me be more positive by blocking out negative thoughts
@playingbysplace4006 do you mind sharing what baby steps you took and what changes happened in your life?
@@philippgrinstein7060 Of course! I've been trying to get outside more, being mindful of the beautiful nature around me, visiting green areas more often, watching my weight, watching my drinking, getting into sports I always wanted to do but was too scared to try out, working on getting my first dog! I know these are all little, maybe silly things that others take for granted (except for the dog probably), but for me personally, I feel more free than I did before, less hogged up in my daily pattern, and although normally just a social drinker, I now also feel less the need to grab a drink to get rid of stress or nervousness. :)
@@playingbysplace4006 That sounds pretty good, especially the sports and getting out more part!
What an incredible video. At 25 years old I feel like I’ve been in my quarter life crisis for a decade now. I keep coming to videos like this hoping for a spark to reignite the passions I’ve lost, some switch to flip in this chronic burnout I feel. It’s hard. I don’t know where I’m going or what to do, I just wake up and keep doing it. Something has to change. I just don’t know what the first step to take is.
You just so precisely put into words, my current state !
Same. Just turned 25 last week, still single, searching for my meaning and what I want to do in life. My biggest issue in working through is I really want a relationship, but I know in my heart I’m not ready for one until I can be truly happy on my own, and I don’t mind spending time alone, I just want someone to love me and want to feel excited about life again. I have lots of friends but I feel like I’m spread too thin, and everyone could easily move on in their life. I feel like I’m clinging to friendships and people and not wanting to let anyone go because I’m afraid of being alone. I’m scared that things won’t change, but I KNOW that things are up to me to make them change!! The reality I have to remind myself is that even despite having a strong faith, no one is coming to save me except myself. I need to take ownership of all that I want to change, and continually remind myself how incredibly blessed I am as well! My life is so good, and I’m really proud of myself for the progress I’ve made. It’s ok to not have it all figured out now, and natural to feel behind. We’re all on our own paths, and sometimes the table needs to be for 1 person. You.
Think about what you enjoy doing the most. Try doing that a little more. I’m sure something will spark. I find that we have the brightest aha moments, the more fun we allow ourselves to have.
i want to live more and be young, 4ever
You described what I feel perfectly. I'm 25 too and I feel so stuck.
I'm actually a very stubborn person. I'm afraid of failure; applying for that internship; not reaching my dream goals; not being able to do things I know I can do. Have I told myself countless times to just get off my butt and do them? Yes. Have I gone and done them? No b/c I'm still afraid. But I don't want to keep being afraid. The longer I'm afraid, the more time I would be wasting. I don't want anyone to have to guide me. I should be able to do this on my own. but I feel like that same mind set has held me back. Me not asking for help, thinking I can so this on my own has stopped me from growing. But then I stumbled on this video. This quote. "But even if we fail, what better way is there to live?" Thank you for this.
You described me.
This video was recommended to me 2 years after it was made and can I just say this is one of the most genuinely inspiring and well meant and positively influential pieces of media I’ve seen. Thank you for your art :)
Exactly what I was jus thinking!
Algorithm must like to hit on the anniversary of a video(?) 🙄
Same. Guess it’s just came when needed.
Same for me. And it happened to be the best "commercial" about life and living I've ever seen 🙂

She should officially direct something , the quality is extremely profissional here.
I can see why this did so well. She's an excellent story teller. It felt so genuine and authentic. Each shot carefully planned and executed with wonderful natural light and composition. Lot of people think you need a big budget or expensive gear to do story telling. But this right here shows you it only takes the will to do it. And the talent to know what looks good to tell a great story. Loved this. I'm inspired.
"you have to do things, you have to take risks" it hits so hard. im so scared of life that i ended up doing anything i know i need to do
me too
you can, I promise that.
ME TOO
I'm scared of life but I haven't done anything yet. I'm getting more and more anxious everyday
@@green_a.o2903 i feel exactly the same.
As a man who constantly struggles everyday finding his path, his peace, and his purpose... this really speaks to me in volume. You are incredibly gifted, and may god always watch over you and your family
Amen
Amen 🙏.
Not religious but still...
This reminds me of "Life is something which happens when you are busy making other plans." We plan and plan, take inspiration from movies but we never take action and ask the really important stuff.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porass. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is dr.porass.
I'm a 34 year old grown ass man, father and husband. Accidentally stumbled upon this video at work while watching videos related to this new career path I've been pursuing and studying for. I've been feeling burnt out lately and this video and your channel was exactly what I needed. I legit started tearing up at work while watching/listening to this. Thank you 🙏🏼
That’s beautiful to hear. ❤️
3 weeks have passed but I hope that you’re still on that journey to better things and opportunities! This comment is exactly what I am going through while watching this video
How are you now? 💛
grown ahh man 🗿
More power to you man!
Two years late, but this video made me burst into tears. I just wanna say thank you, I think I'll come back often to watch this and hear your words again and again, 'cause they touched my heart and made me realize how many things and feelings and experiences I'm missing out there... what a journey is life and how much we hold ourselves back because of fear...
you should search school of life channel... it might be helpful for your mental health and peace
Yess. I have been suggested this video 2 years late. But I get the gravity of this better now. So perfect timing. Great video!
Me too I started tearing up I wish I saw this earlier
Same here.Thanks. It felt so emotional. Cause I love but long long time far away from it cause I am holding the fear to face the suffering. I hope it will go away soon.
Life is not a journey
What a beautiful soul. Amazing video by the way! I’m 20 and I could not have asked for a better time in my life to hear this. It’s taken awhile for me to learn but I think I’m ready to move onto the next stage of life. Take some risks and keep working to better myself. It’s scary growing up but it’s the only the way to make it in this life. I love what you said about how the only way through is to actively try to participate in life. This is definitely an important video! Great job!

Why does this look like a movie to me? You've got some great talent in storytelling and editing. Magnificent work 👏👏
I mean the movie clips do help
She has some great camera shots and angles as well as the narrating. 10/10 to tbf
Ong this could go as a trailer for a movie
Nah fam this is more like a trailer. Would love to watch a movie based on this.

Hope everyone is doing good and staying safe. If you need to talk to someone or need help, there are people who care. Sending support and hearts. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm just lost on the part where Happiness can start anytime... How do I actually be happy in the little things? Should I start with gratitude?
Being using CZcams since 15 years until now; this is the first video, where every single second was just mesmerizing and every single second was connecting me deeper and deeper to the beauty that a human can possess and express through his words. That's a great work riza, going to comeback again and again to this masterpiece. Damn!!! truly this is the art of perfection.
Y’all. She’s gonna be big. Her energy will move all people to improve to the better and I’m happy to be a part of it. ❤️
💛💛💛Thank you so much
I’m sorry for asking here but how? How do l actively seek life? Truthfully l just feel stuck
honestly love this cinematic type of CZcams video with some life affirming narration.

@@esotericbliss5887 what @WhereIsThisPlace is very true. Stop listening to your "problem solving". That is, the mind is there not only to solve problems. Start feeling your body by doing sport and be outdoors. I'm stuck now and again and doing sports is the key. Sports without headphones. Let your senses come back and trust them. Stop doubt is another key I find. Taking things as they come. Patience too. No multitasking is another. You'll find them as you go if you slow down and do some sport and listen to what your body as a whole needs ;))
What the hell? This is literally a cinematic masterpiece. Girl, you're so skilled, how am I even watching this for free
Romans 10:9 = +Eternal life+ 316 ++++
I agree, this is a cinematic masterpiece that should be watched by the whole world,
Ever wondered why this channel is flying under the radar? Whenever I manage to squeeze in a break, I find myself binging on this content. And you know what? It's absolutely worth it. The nostalgia hits differently, the coziness is real, and the lessons tucked in there - they're golden. Seriously, it's time this hidden gem gets the spotlight it deserves.
"And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run,
You missed the starting gun"
probably one of my favourite lyrics of all time, we're always waiting for life to start. But then we realise it started a long time ago and now you're just running to catch up.
'We can blame other people for what they did or didn't do, or blame ourselves for things we never told them'. Hitting really hard right now.
But I know life won't stop.
This line was so good.
"You have to do things, you have to take risks. It's the only way to find out who we really are, and what we wanna do with our time on this earth."
Powerful, I concur.
I haven't been this captivated by a video in ages! This cinematic experience was absolutely breathtaking. It held my attention from start to finish, and the underlying message touched my heart
Been down for almost a year now: money problems in my house, family disputes, violence, therapy, I lost both my best friend and my girlfriend in the breakup of a 4 and a half year relationship, college graduation, jobless, diagnosed with both depression and anxiety. Sometimes, these types of videos appear, and even though they don't fix anything, they inspire a little bit of hope. And hopefully, that's all that's needed.

This video made me cry. I wasn't looking for this kind of vid but I saw it and clicked it. This gave me hope to live life so THANK YOU RIZA.
This video is 2 years old but it was only recommended to me now, this video is honestly just amazing. It's moving.
Same here😊I love the footage, the way they're changing and the storytelling. The video is so warm, live and vivid. And it feels like you're visualizing the page from the diary. Love it!
This got recommended to me 2 years after it was posted, and I think it is still so relevant and important. This was a truly very beautiful video that I hope many people can see and find things in it they can learn from!
i love you
This is an insane work! You've got some talent there, the cinematic, composition, audio and all that jazz. Then the writing, story telling makes it to be a masterpiece.
I'm not a follower and the algorithm just suggested this video to me. Pure gem! Great cinematography and story telling, you're a bright and talented young woman! There's a lot waiting for you in this life :)
"To exist is to suffer, but to live is to make a purpose for your suffering", This is the conclusion I came up with after being lost and depressed for over 4 years.
this video is a great help for people who are procrastinating, afraid to do something new or just simply don't know what they are doing, and I really love the quality of this video and the motivation in it.
You surely changed someone's life with this masterpiece, thank you.
I love this and needed to hear it. Thank you
"Stop watching motivational videos and go to work!" - me
Where have you taken this quote because I swear I've heard of it unless you forgot also
watch "the desire to be sad" to know why it's not a good idea to make a purpose for your suffering
@@randomcommenter8057 i just watched it after you mentioned it and it's so profound and eye opening.. thank you so much, random person on the internet! 🤣🤣i recommend this to ANYONE who is feeling sad or down right now, i cannot express how good the message is
I have a degree in cinematography and this video inspired me to make something new. I must admit, when it started, I thought it was the beginning of an ad. It was so professionally done. The way you set up your shots was so pleasing to watch and told the story so well. Well done!
Idk if ive ever hit subscribe so fast. The music, the cinematography, the writing, the visuals, the voice over, the tone. You nailed it. Great video :)
Each word is so deeply expressive. Its like thoughts coming to life, the ones which I could not find words for or express. I am still in awe
It’s rare to be this captivated by a CZcams video. Not just watching on the side, or for leisure, but feeling glued to the screen.
Amazingly made, Riza. Very grateful the algorithm brought this work of art to me.
Same
Yeah! Really. The narrative was so smooth. Felt like a good movie!
Same 2
MAN I AGREE. this.... piece of art, was so wonderful. and the message... so clear, concise and..... eye opening.
This put a shiver down my spine. I was having a midlife crisis the past few months and this somehow made the uncertainty of the future more bearable. Wishing you all the love back here in the Philippines!
There aren’t just shivers down my spine, but through my whole nervous system, and though I tried to shake them initially, I’m embracing their presence despite finishing the video a few minutes ago now. It takes something so powerful to stimulate that sensation, and more, to convince you to welcome them like an old friend. I’m 25 in two months, some things just find you at the right time, because my god are quarter-life crises so real.
Thank you. I needed this. Been in a slump lately due to life not turning out the way i expected after graduation. This is a good reminder. So really, thank you Kariza. Just recently found out about you and i love your content.
I felt like watching a movie. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!
Wow.. .This is a work of art. The planned shots, pleasant color grade, a voice over that resonates, and the flow of this is beautiful. This is what I wish CZcams had more of, and I absolutely love it.
🙏🏼 Thank you!!
@@LifeOfRiza CZcams's algo made your video get to all those depressed souls out there, impressive!
"we look for answers in books and movies." the most relatable words ive ever heard
Watching this today, made me realize that nobody can tell you what you can & can't do, but they can nudge you towards it. It is upto you who make the decision for a leap of faith, so that your life can become awesome since in the grand scheme of things we are just speck of dust floating in a rock that will still be floating when we are gone.
This video is freaking beautiful ! Like literally beautiful.
Every word, every shot hits you hard but at the same time calms you down. Videos like these makes me want to go out, experiment, express and not care about frugal things. Do what make YOU happy everyone. Make the most of your time here.
I’m turning 35 soon and I still don’t know what the heck I’m doing but I’m here and trying to live my best life.
This is a very inspiring video and I am glad I stumbled upon it. It’s a nice pick me up from me being complacent in my life.
Itsokiee,,, we got thisss🤸♀️ Let's live this moment
Same here ,turning 35 this year,still figuring myself and life out... May we discover lots of joy
Cheers to all the turning 35 year olds. I’m about to make a huge career change cuz I’m ready for a new challenge.
Turning 35 in a few days myself. I appreciate your courage to speak up about your struggles - really helps me feel less alone in mine.
We may not have figured out life as yet, or perhaps we never will, but you’re trying - and that’s enough effort. Wishing you the best, and cheers to embrace the mess ahead! You got this ❤
Going to 35 soon. I am preparing to go back to school after working more than 10 years. I am saving money all those years to get education I dream of. And now I am scared.
This came at such a perfect timing. Your great storyteller and the editing. Really well cut
💯💯💯
Cannot believe I watched the whole damn thing without even looking at the time stamp. This really is something to me after a long time. Something refreshing. Something moving. Something to renovate my life. Something that is bringing hope and answers to my life. Thank you.
With a tear running down my cheek and goose bumps all over my body I write this comment to thank you for this amazing piece of content. I really needed to see this right now.
What no one tells you is that a sense of meaning comes from a dynamic. Us in relation to the rest of the world. The times when I didn’t know what to do in life I found looking around and helping other people was the most rewarding and meaningful thing I could do. I’ve found my path but I still feel lifting up other people whenever you can is the most powerful thing you’ll ever do in this life. ❤
From time-to-time the CZcams algorithm does a great job at connecting dots between those souls that just wish to exist inside the Dead Poets Society Movie!!!
YOU HAVE A GREAT STORYTELLING AND DOCUMENTARY FILM Talent!!!
I am here for that!
I don't know why this video got randomly recommended to me, but I'm very thankful I did stumble acorss it. Thank you
Riza shows us the power of making life happen! Congrats to you Sister for not holding yourself back and just going for it!
One of these days your channel is a gonna blow up, I swear. I guess for now, we all keep seeking. Amen, sis. 🙏🏽
It is now 🥰 I’m so inspired. Thank you Riza ❤
I think that day is very soon because I keep getting recommendations
Well I don't know any point why youtube would recommend her to me so I think the algorithm found her but she's good so.
Maybe it's this year? I've never seen her stuff before
It's happening now 😳
You cant hear me clapping, or see me crying, so I’m just gonna say this was amazing!

This video deserves an award.
It's like you opened up some space inside of your head, and allowed us access to your stream of consciousness.
It was delicate, vulnerable, intelligent, and insightful.
Thank you.
Girl, what a masterpiece?!!! been scrolling youtube for years and finally found the content i was looking for, this is so beautiful. You inspire me Riza. Thank you for the hard work you put into creating something that is so real and so amazing. I hope i can make life happen for me too!❤
You're a powerful filmmaker. You have such a distinct style. Love the shots, your facials and the cinematography
Why does this feel like it encapsulates both the beginning and ending of the best kind of coming of age movie ??? Incredible.
Subbed!
Made me tears a LOT. Thanks for creating a masterpiece Kariza!
Your voice, story telling is really incredible. You're like a living documentary!
This is one of the best made videos I''ve ever seen. The way you read, the cinematography and the content. Maybe it's because it's from a relatively small channel but I honestly can't remember the last time I was this impressed with a video. You should really be proud.
I'm glad the message could help people. But it's only the start, the base, the beginning. There's is much, much more to it and to everything. Enjoy the journey everyone.
Three years late, but your video moved me to tears. What a beautiful script and how you've brought it to life... Thank you 🙏
This is spectacular on so many levels - a blueprint for authentic, pure, cinematic storytelling.
This video makes me happy because I guess the reason we don’t start is because we feel like it has to be perfect or take a certain amount of time, but it’s an exhausting pursuit of it all, it doesn’t matter because what would you rather be doing? Thinking about it or living it. Perfection is like doing the thing with a weighted vest, and really life changes so fast that nothing is really perfect. Thank you for inspiring me to be better, it was definitely worth the wait! Hope you enjoyed your break, welcome back riza 🙏🥺💕 LETS GO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Exactly! This was something I thought A LOT about during the last couple of months. :) x
Life Of Riza could u tell me a little behind the scenes of your success? what was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome
This video was 2 years old? Somehow I found it on my recommended list when I needed it most, right in the similar stage in life.
It’s tearjerking and I can’t say enough how beautiful the video is, the message of it all. It has put light back to my mood, views.
This was an art, thank you for your work :)
What an amazing edit! I really appreciate the work you're putting into something that will inspire thousands of people
One has to live for themselves, and not wait around for someone to tell them who they are❤🌠
Why didn't I watch this video sooner!!! Well done!🎬👏
I just saw this in my recommendations and your video healed my heart. I was going through a lot stress and anxiety with everything happening in my life and I was ready to give up. Right now I’m slowly getting back on my feet again and start a new journey applying for university. I was scared because all I thought was the negatives- the cost of tuition, moving away from my friends and family, then I realize that even if I fail I have a place to go back to. So I’m taking that leap of fate and moving forward
You should definitely check we dont have forever by slyfer28
I don't think I've ever been into using clips from movies in a video like this. But the way you shot this was so incredible that it completely blended and took the narrative to the next level. such a beautiful film
Thank you for this, it is so relatable. There are somedays you feel like you don't want to do anything, no motivation, and to ignore the responsibilities you have. But it is so true that, life doesn't stop for us and we better live our life without the fear of failing!
This is probably the most inspirational thing to pop up on my home feed, we need more things like this in the world, thank you ❤
Riza, this might honestly be the most beautiful piece of art in any form I have ever encountered.❤️ I have a feeling that watching this just now was the spark to... well, I don't know yet. But it's something big, I can feel it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.❤️
I find it so heart warming how people all over the world share the same feelings, have the same problems and the same that makes them happy.
Thank you for speaking it out.
The effort and thoughtfulness put on this video essay was spectacular
Riza
I thank you so much for making this video. It’s honestly inspiring. Lots has happened lately and i’ve haven’t felt that same feeling of life i’ve had before. But that line you said where you have to seek it hit different. Part of me wants to live a specific type of way but I haven’t been able to find a way to start. This video opened my eyes in a whole different way and i thank you for that 🫶🏽
Hope you make more videos like this one because i’m sure more people out there would like to hear those wise words of yours. Thank you 🙏🏽🩶
I just came across this randomly and didn't realize how much I needed it. As a 20-something year old girl from the Philippines, I felt a little less alone seeing you felt the way I do now, two-years ago. Thank you 🧡
this was so moving, hard to explain, but it literally made me reflect on my current state of stagnation and frustration. Funny how short video points out how we're so influenced by movies/books looking for quick answers, yet this is like a short movie in itself, but it doesn't give you any cookie cutter answer, its just makes you feel and reflect. Thanks for making this, it's what I needed in this moment
This video is so well done. I understand exactly why it has so many views, it clearly resonates with so many people. Thanks for deciding to make this and to share it ❤
Your storytelling is brilliant. The cinematography is stunning. Please keep doing what you do, it seems to be inspiring a lot of people!
The storytelling, the selection of movie clips, your voice, the video and the message its incredible. Thx to the algorithm for showing me this masterpiece in this moment of my life and thx to you for making it and inspire us
I do not normally comment my thoughts, but today, I felt compelled to share my experience that your artistic work has bestowed upon me. As someone who has been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for a few years now, I have often struggled with the complexities of self-understanding and the disquieting feeling of alienation from those around me. It is as if I possessed the words and questions, yet I struggled to articulate them, leaving me with a sense of isolation and despair, of being forgotten amidst this chaotic world.
And while I've been passing through this journey of emotions, I chanced upon your four-minute masterpiece, and its impact echoed through the core of my being. The power of it's simplicity blended with profound meaning. Every word you said, every scene captured, and every feeling expressed resonated with such authenticity that it touched the depths of my soul. The harmonious interplay of your artistry awakened a sense of connection that has eluded me for so long.
I am filled with an overwhelming gratitude that words fail to express adequately. Your art, instantaneously, became a safe haven where I find understanding and a genuine sense of companionship. In this moment, for me, your voice has transcended the boundaries of mere artistry and has become a beacon of light in the deafening sea of existence.
I can't overstate the significance of this. Your art has granted me hope, of possibility that there is something out there capable of truly resonating with my deepest essence. It is a reminder that, even in the face of personal struggles and existential crises, beauty can be found, and meaning can be reclaimed.
Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for sharing your wonderful gift with the world. 💕
You know when you watch a video and go to the comments to find someone has already written exactly what you were going to write, so you just like their comment. This is the most insane version of that I have ever experienced. Down to the Anxiety disorder, the way you describe how it influences your perspective and how this video impacted you, all of it. I feel like I'm hallucinating.
@@BrandenHooper I completely agree. I'm not one to comment on videos, as everyone else usually does it for me. Amro SH used the very words I didn't when I replied, saying it better with things like "power of it's simplicity" and "four-minute masterpiece". It's not to say young people can't produce amazing things, as they often outclass us with more experience, it was just so wholesome, genuine, and inspired. The video was beautifully crafted and touching.
Your videos are a work of art. This was like therapy.
Dude you are just amazing! You have no idea how much you help❤
This hit me so hard. When I’ve heard it before, felt it in my bones and aching pains. Still, it’s hit me so hard and I’m crying. Life never stops to amaze me. Even if I’m done with my 20s and I feel somewhat defeated by life, still here climbing and forging my own way. So I needed this. Thank you.
I really love this short film. This is literally a cinematic masterpiece that should be shown to the world! This came at the perfect time in my life because I feel the pressures of the direction I'm taking as the road less traveled. However, I'm not getting out as much as I should; as it would benefit my career choice, and my health as well. I hope you are well, Riza; and esp to all those who are reading and actively taking place in the world - Let's leave our mark~ ✨
Please never delete this video. I am finally changing my life for the better and this, well this video feels like the embodiment of what I've been feeling and what I needed to hear. Like I'm finally on the right path. You're helping me. Thank you, so much
This came up on my recommended. I clicked it and watched the video throughout, not knowing what it was or who you are but was glued to my tv screen for the 4:16 seconds drinking my tear. Everything I was thinking disappeared and had me thinking about myself, how I currently feel, what am I doing etc. You are very talented and story telling, filming and editing. Thank you for making this video.
Whoa what! How is there not an 'M' behind your subscriber count!? This is phenomenal Riza 🙌 beautifully made and so well said, keep it up!!
OMG whatttt thank you Jake!! 🥺
I love the cinematography of this video, the camera angles and transitions were my favourite parts, they kept the video fluid and gave you something new to engage with while listening to the narrator, it felt like things were happening even though you were just writing, sitting down or looking at the tv. also the message was sweet and I'm glad so many people seem to be moved by it
