If people don't appreciate your presence, make them appreciate your absence
+Prince OfDarkness couldn't have said it better
heavy.
Both, don't be there for them, dont listen to their problems. Don't help thel.
Make people appreciate your absence ? Like you are doing something not appreciative when you are with them so when you leave them they are happy you are not around anymore ? The hell ?
I needed this RIGHT NOW smh
Once you realize that you won't die or go crazy when you're alone and silent, you start to really fall in love with solitude!
I have recently fallen in love with being alone. All areas of my life have improved 100%. My stress levels also decreased!!!!!!!!
Shaine MacDonald ...your nor wrong. ...iv found this out over the last 4years!!
Shaine MacDonald damn, I've always been scared of solitude and the dark due to childhood trauma
Shaine MacDonald bro i fully agree
ABSOLUTELY!

I sat in a quiet room for one hour.
Sure i got really damn sad about it.
But i accepted that shit.
I feel you ! have had raging tinnitus for 20 months now from head trauma!

I found you last night at 11:30 and now its 4:30 in the morning. i watched everyone of your videos and ... i'm sitting here on the verge of tears, because of how powerfully you have influenced my life. i'm 16,my father committed suicide when i was 11 so i've been relying on my self to raise me, I've been faking who i am for too long of a time, i partied, smoked weed, and heavily drank, because i was listening to other people, rather than myself, I made myself what society thinks is cool and it only hurt me worse. i ignored myself for to long. i have a duty to myself to let be me who i am, and make me who I want to be. thank you. for saving me from myself. and i embrace all the feelings i'm having, and usually i would never comment like this for people to see but i'm taking your advice and putting me in challenging/uncomfortable position. thank you, i've said what I Needed to say, and i hope my flower was potent enough to help someone out there thats stuck on the same path i was on.
I hope you are doing well. These words rang true for me as well for a few years. Honor yourself first
Be strong bud everybody has there own struggles myself including. You sharing your struggle may just save someone! Try to be active in life and find your purpose set attainable goals and once you achieve them raise the stakes. That’s the only way I’ve found joy in this world is working on myself. I do have my days including today but i hope my words can help some one like yours does!
I hope you're a live my brother & won against your struggles 😘💪😏
collin landress update?
Respect brother
I've always wondered why i'm only inspired to write, read, and create at 3am lying in silence trying to sleep. Makes sense now.
This is so deep - I fucking love it
You're so much more than just a stacked guy, Elliot
Elliott never fails to blow my mind.
+ANONYMOUS hi
I have to say, this is the coolest exercise series ever, because it combines the spiritual with the physical.
These words will echo through time
On and on...
I always embraced solitude and silence. Walking alone through the wild can give me the same satisfying feeling as an intense workout. Sometimes I do my cardio on a bike and at the halfway point I find a spot to relax. Sitting by yourself in the dunes, decompressing, listening to the wind, the birds, the airplanes, the trees.
Or sometimes I go to my parents garden and sit in the greenhouse in silence. Those are the moments when I get most of my inspiration, I just sit there thinking of stuff and writing it down in my phone. Sometimes the ideas come out quicker than I can write them down.
+Lester Brunt Amazing
John Kimble same its an amazing experience
Elliot, i feel like downloading all your videos and save em....well, just in case of apocalypse or something ......your lessons are for life . Thanks man .
Sehajpreet Singh That's going to take up some gigabytes.
Sehajpreet Singh just in case of apocalypse xd
+thenewgate1 lol
Sehajpreet Singh that's actually so true
Sehajpreet Singh in the event of an apocalypse you won't even have to time to think about your brain, it's all about survival baby
He is speaking beyond humans mind... But there's much more there to speak of... Whatever God wants you to hear that's what he will speak of
Yes.
This video came out when I was 12 and here I am watching it again and finally understanding it
I had a moment at my university once.
I was waiting for my class to start and I was sitting on a comfortable couch, and there was a wide window in front of me. I just stared out that window in silence, only birds chirping and a dull roar of people in other rooms . I was there for like 30 minutes, and I felt so good afterwards. I went into that classroom and I was the most serene person there.
Its cause you were present bro. you let yourself be in the moment and thats why you felt so "good". Enlightenment is when you are consistently in that state. Strive to stay aware like you were in everyday situations and you'll get a better understanding.
silence is power
Iv always been more at peace when doing my own thing,keeping astray from what others are doing. Yet i find myself longing to feel acceptance at times. It's really interesting how i find myself the happiest when I'm just doing something i love without trying to feel comfortable around others. I often believe i am happiest when alone,cause that's when I'm at my most relaxed natural state of mine and feels. I am more at peace when I'm being true to myself,being true to what i truly love entirely. Life is about communicating with your feelings,what truly matters to you,not about how many people you know,or how accepted you may feel,it's about doing what is important to you,and being at a certain level with God to where your inner relationship with him is at it's most connected,to where you can talk to him,while also being able to let him guide you,to understand him,cause your relationship with him is that close! I leave you with this quote! “Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.”
- Carl Jung
***** Also note for the atheists out there that it doesn't necessarily mean "god". Just you're true essense.
Couldn’t have said it better
OMYGOD Micky everything you said, I love it!!💖🤗🙏🏼
Dude, i can clearly see your wisdom radiating man. I've read 50 books in 2 years, about spirituality, LOA, Ayahuasca, business, dating, healthy lifestyles. You have really evolved from the last time i listened to you. More power.
What are your top 10 books you would recommend?
after all the videos ive watched from your channel tonight the one thing that sucks out in my head is when you say "people are mirrors of the things you hold in"
This is the first time I've posted anything about myself. Solitude saved me as the world has forgot me. Elliott, I have been very sick for many years. Lost my friends and family. I've become silent which brought me to God. Life has not been easy lately. I can not put my feeling into words. I just want to thank you so much for this video.God Bless you.
intense. the way you describe yourself is intense.
Yes it was intense. Steven Johnston Syndrome and 30 injuries as a passenger in a mva 20 years ago. We rolled off a mountain in B.C, Canada. I can walk again.Included brain injuries and a broken back. It was intense. I work hard in physiotherapy five days a week. Doing better than most people who have SJS. (internal burns from an allergy to sulpha drug.) Burned all organs including my skin and eyes.
My intestines and stomach were burned so bad I could not eat solid for for many years. I am a hero to most people who know how hard I've worked to get where I am today, but I am now solitaire as my world is very different from most people's. Survival. God Bless you! You are one of my heros! :)
... but I am not my injuries. I am a kind. loving faithful child of God. :)

+ctribe100 god is not a separate entity my friend...God is within you
First I have to say you are a great communicator. I personally have struggled with anxiety off and on throughout my whole life. Battling with racing thoughts and unproductive mind patterns. We are all suffering to a greater or lesser degree. Almost 3 months ago I started meditating 30 minutes every single morning at 6am. At first is was so difficult but through pure determination I persevered. Little by little it grew easier. Now I can't wait for each morning when I get up at 5:30, take a shower and I get to visit the real world for 30 minutes. I don't have the words here to explain how it has benefited me but it has been wonderful so far. It has effected my complete day as well, I am more calm and focused and my sense well being is growing. You are right SILENCE is truly the answer! I am so glad I made the time to start and stuck with it. I love it!
what is your way to meditate
I like to just sit in the dark and be quiet and silent for 30 minutes. I don't try and achieve any special state, I just sit. My thoughts come and go. In the beginning it was difficult, now I have moments where I am really calm with no thoughts. It's been about 4 months since I started, still going. There is a name for the type of meditation I do but I forgot the name, ha!
Scot Campbell thanks ! :)
Well it's been 4 months now since I began my practice each morning, it is still going well. The one thing I really notice develop more and more each week is my ability to stay on task for longer periods of time, ha! I guess if you can sit still in the dark each morning for a half hour after a while the brain sort of changes ,gives in and relaxes, yeah, it's effecting my work day for sure. I dig it.
...still going daily. Good stuff.
Silence is golden , Rob Oneil who was the leader of seal team six , stated " I always look for a oppurtunity to shut up " that's a profound statement
Ive been silent most of my life and that is why Im still friends with people ive known since Kindergarten and also Im happy.
"Some might say that it's God speaking through you... you're allowed to say that because when you get out of the way, what else is there ? "
Amazing :)
"Silence speaks VOLUMES." Works for me!
It was through solitude that I finally found myself and separated from ego. Which is what I perceive to be the topic here. Thank you.
It's true, it's so true... I feel it is.
I find this true for myself too! For example when I wake up in the morning, if I stay away from technology(Noise) I am at peace and am able to generate state from within. We're all looking for ways to run away from SILENCE...
the further i got into the video the more i felt like you were speaking directly to me, this is not a coincidence that this video was on the front page of youtube
Listen to this guy! I've made the same experience! Good Advice doesn't get any better than this.
Elliott I have just recently discovered all of your videos and I'm deeply fascinated and engaged with everything you have to offer. I have been learning so much from you with everything you put up on here. Thank you
I lived most of my life on my own without having any people around me (except coworkers and so on) I dont have a TV anymore and i feel that i have gained total peace in my mind.
This makes me want to get myself back in nature. It is true. I used to "escape" to the trails in the most deepest parts and I have always had more concentration to think of myself and life's deeper mysteries.
Within each of us there is a silence, a silence as vast as the universe. And when we experience that silence, we remember who we are.
Elliot is simply brilliant! ... "You need to trust yourself" = going into yourself. That´s the key to handling every situation in your life. Thought about this for a long time, but never really realized it... and the problem with motivation is ...that it fades ;/ It fades away, and the brain forgets words, so therefore it is so important that we find new ways to explain the same good mechanisms in life. This is important for two reasons: 1) So the mind doesn´t get bored of hearing/reading the same things over and over again (for instance watching this video as a daily ritual...would probably get kinda boring after a 100 times)... and 2) To keep feeding the same message to the brain through different words and visual techniques.
This is also the reason why Elliot has made all these hundreds of videos ;) Thank you so much, Elliot! :D
One of your most inspirational videos to me personally yet. I've been avoiding silence for years now, whenever I'm alone I feel like I MUST have music or a movie or whatever playing. It's time to face the silence, face myself. Thank you Elliott.
I quit social media and I only kept genuine people in my life. I just wanna focus on myself and fix my broken pieces. Good luck to all the people who are trying to be happy with themselves.
It is believed that one of the greatest things you can do to avoid stress is to give yourself some quiet time. Give yourself time free of stimulus.
Dont think anything. Try to free your mind of all thoughts. This is essentially meditation. When I took a martial arts class, the first thing we did in each session is meditate. The instructor would attempt to alarm you by making the loudest sudden sound I'd ever heard from a human being. Those who remain calm are in deep meditation. Those who flinch aren't and that is the case no matter how many times they'd sat through a similar session. Some people even attempt to psyche themselves up by saying "I'm not going to flinch this time" yet they still do. I believe this meditation exercise had a very direct purpose in the martial arts class. It is to teach people to act without hesitation and without tension. To not panic. To not flinch. But it has many additional benefits. As mentioned it helps with stress. But it also creates the ability to be calm and take action as opposed to being stressed and reacting in all of life's challenges
Anyways, great video Elliott. I enjoyed it very much and it affirms some of my experiences.
This didn't blow my mind it blasted my
Mind
Thank you Elliot! You just described my situation right now, saying: you have to speak to yourself and maybe you might not like what you'll hear!
You speak from a place which I have a hard time expressing...everything I can't find with words you say so eloquently. I find a lot of truth in your messages. Thanks for a lifetime
Silence isn't the only way in my personal experience. I also experienced this when my emotional stress went over the roof in a very short amount of time (5 minutes or so). It broke me free and the tears and laughter, you can't keep them away like bio-energetics. After that had finished, I could talk to myself and feel so free. It was an amazing experience.
I was so stressed having a prolonged argument with my dad that I exploded.
Just watched this again...really wonderful!
elliott that was fantastic. i have advocated this for a long time and I have never been more content with myself and with my life. disregarding everything and cherishing only yourself is the the path to true.. understanding. of literally everything. people, objects, concepts, whatever. learning all about yourself is to learn everything about the world, and it makes you happier than you could possibly be by having something or someone in your life that you blindly believe is what makes you happy
Perfect timing. From the beggining of this week, I turned off my phone, pulled out my car stereo, and deactivated fb, avoiding people and possible interactions. I jus wanted to silent my mind. I really started to feel the irritation and the depression kicking in because of what I was looking within. Scary shit
Elliot, I believe this is one the very best uploads from you.
Best regards & thanxs, Robert
And that is exactly the reason I do long distance motorcycle riding without headphones. There is something about being forced to be with yourself for hours at a time. That's when I get to know myself.
yet again Eliott, you're spot on. exactly what I needed to hear right now...this is what we do - we numb our feelings with Tv, stupid movies, alcohol, drugs, food ... we numb ourselves so that we don't feel the bad stuff, but that actually numbs the good stuff too. so alone time, let ALL the emotions - good or ugly - out and deal with all that shit. way to happiness, way to have a full life right there.
cheers
Elliot, as a young man traveling through his journey you have helped me tremendously beyond words and beyond anything I could give to show thanks. I appreciate your work and your insightful videos. Thank you very very much!
Elliot is a transcendentalist
He has been awakened/ enlightened!!!

Find the route of the cause, Losing the route and it will start becoming a sickness. I have had a lot of time with self reflection. I had many problems such as anger. I found the root of that anger and pulled it out of me. I then began to allow my mind to be pervaded with love and understanding for everyone. Many have problems and if we do not try to understand. This is where harassment comes in. I personally loved this video and understand much of it. I used to go insane in silence. Now it can be bliss if I want.
“Because When you get out the way what else is there”🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽
Everything you sir have said, Mr. Hulse, is what I have been practicing since a very young age. I have found that I started to stray from this "mindset" many months ago and I didn't feel the same, I felt discomfort, confusion, lost, and if you want to go as far as to say possibly even depressed. I lost around 5 or 10 pounds which made me look alot different given my build, especially of my age. And I couldn't understand what was wrong with me, it was a feeling I had but didn't know what or where it was. Finally after weeks of self analysis I figured it out. I "lost my edge". I was becoming soft inside. I wasnt the cold, hard, brutally honest person I used to be. I was to caught up in the noise, the drama, all the lies that we, as humans, create, for what? We create them all for nothing, just self pleasure maybe. But I have righted myself again and I feel amazing. The best ive felt in months, possibly a year. I've put on 15 pounds in the last couple of months because I've righted myself and worked on what I wanted for myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and athletically. I know I'm still only a boy (a young man if want to consider)of just the ripe age of 17 but I truly feel I am that way, (cold and brutally honest.) heck I enjoy hanging out with my dad and his friends, even older men because they have so much to teach in their everyday words. Or their old stories they may tell. And I feel I have an edge on many kids my age because of this. And just browsing my profile here on you tube I found this video, I was intrigued because I to k we the power of silence and I wanted to how you would describe it. And you sir described the exact way I have thought it for a very long time.
Info: Humans have been around for 200,000 years. You are correct about silence. Along with birth defects, corrected and over-came, I had 10% hearing till the second grade, no one knew until a teacher told my parents. The thing is that because of this I had learned to be a Listener and to listen and observed the whole world. This has gotten me in trouble over the years being labled lazy, day dreamer and such but because of this, after gained full stronger hearing, I am more observant and understanding having true compassion for other's situation. So silience, although not commonly valued, is a great gift. More people should just be quiet and listen. Good Point!

Brilliant.
Struck a nerve in myself- thank you.
Elliott, I can see the purity of your soul in this video, the way you say things it is much more powerful that what you are actually saying. I love seeing this side of you, Thank you
Y'know, I can relate, I think this is why I take so long to fall asleep, I lay there, filtering through thoughts that come into my head, re-living the experiences of the day, talking to myself mentally, putting my MIND AT REST.
Which from this derives "misery loves company"
Favorited. Speaking the truth as always man
I've trying to understand "The mirror of self" for such a long time, and you explained it very clear in this video.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you Elliott
Thanks for the push. I've been meaning to take a weekend of solitude. This has nudged me. Now 'booked' to go free camping next weekend.
To talk about silence is oxymoron.
Unrelated but silence is also golden in conversations with others, especially women.
they ignore you lol
your name They may chase you more- source: my own experience 😂 Im the one chasing !👩🏻
PUGE BUY Most women are drawn to it. 😀
your name They expect a reaction out of you and if you don’t give them one, they become insecure and break down because they can’t break you down.
@@SqueezeLift You’re on point
Big big big big big video. Thanks for everything Elliot.
If interested, for anyone reading this. What helped me most (and may help you) was me going off grid and living along in the woods for a while. 👍🏻
wow elliot u really got me on this one, ive always been a thinker and analyze things and have found that because the ppl around me aren't on the same wavelength I'm discouraged to let go and express myself... ive come to like my own company and appreciate the silence and brief cut-away from life's hustle and bustle... keep it up bruh!
I like this guy
Exactly silence is great I'm only 17. But I have thought of some great ideas and products I want to move forward with in the future to help people and the tools classroom education needs.
Don't hate me for this but am I the only one that thinks we need to stop trying to find more ways of helping humanity and should focus on more ways to extend our further well being into future years. Like if we keep "helping/healing" others then we will begin to overpopulate the earth and so doctors are only helping destroy the future... In the long run the ones that helped save a human are the ones that helped begin earths demise. We were made to become sick and die , in other words let nature take its course.
Silent Mac i guess you are. but you know what i respect your opinion even though i think the complete opposite. I don't wanna give you shit about it because everyone is entitled to their own opinion right. anyways yea i guess so but thats okay im sure others agree with you.
+Sanjit Saroya it's cool that you want to save lives tho man! And thank you for not being like everyone else on UA-cam (close minded). :D
I never had insecurities until I started socializing and falling in love. Today I live every second of my life with insecurities and the only cure that helps me is my solitude.
I can relate to this video 100%. I have been struggling with emotional trauma and an eating disorder for over 4 years. At first, practicing meditation and self reflection caused me EXTREME anxiety and discomfort. I still struggle with it on a daily basis, but as a yield more and more to silence, I have grown so much spiritually, and have begun the process of healing my body and my soul. Thank you, Elliott, for sharing this important message!
I agree i enjoy the silence 😊
I believe this is why so many people go to meditation.
Elliot, I'm really happy to share the same feelings, same thoughts, same beliefs with you and I really thank you for your advices which are going to make me more confident and ground. You are a good man. God bless you
I've been exploring my inner depths and I have to say this is 100% on. I am no expert but my own personal experience aligns with what you are sharing. You helped me to see what disturbed my inner peace. It's all this extra chatter, even from friends/ family /music. Time to cut back on it all and stay focused. God bless you Elliot
Anyone else experience the Polar opposite to this? Where you are always too much at peace with your solitude but never at peace with society?
It's a good kind of crazy. We need only look internally to find the answer to our life's options. You don't need anyone else. However that can bring you down sometimes, as we are naturally social animals.
Very true, I find that our greatest potential skills and achievements lie within the Heart and Balls as Elliott would say. You have just got to find them, which is something I've been doing for the last 8 years. And I have too many other people influencing my path. Elliot says "The whole world is giving you fuckin advice" and that's why he "invites" you to try out his perspective.
Good idea, it was interesting talking to you. I hope one day you find your strongest version of yourself my friend, and never give up. Once enough of us get to our strongest version, then we can help inspire others and the rest of the human race. Good luck.
Good man, it's good to hear you have goals. I can't bring myself to fully follow Elliott and his teachings because I feel like i'm forsaking my own path. It's also likley that he doesn't know you or I exist and I have never met the guy, so here's what I do.
I take someone's idea, look at it, analyse it. Then reject it if it is negative. If it is positive I either chose to neglect it and learn, or accept and embrace.
More often than not, I'm embracing every thing that Elliot says. But I won't instil this, until I meet him one day.
This guy would be a good preacher 👌🏻😁
Elliot,
I do this and people think I am just screwing around and being lazy. I have huge activity, working till 3 am getting up a 5 am and then times of just doing not much and thinking to myself.
Pushing ahead in life can only be balance with observation of what you have just done.
Thank you for voicing this. You bring something important into the world.
Peace
roughly 6 years ago, when i was really into fitness, i was drawn to you and your content due to your psychological and philosophical ruminations on the relationship between the mind, spirit, and body
it is nice that, through a different path of education, i have found you again, and once more you tell me exactly what i needed to hear
"You might find some crazy shit down there."
If anyone wants to dive deeper into what Elliot is talking about, check out some of Eckhart Tolle's stuff.
Silence in a conversation is very powerful as well. Taking an extra second to respond gives added weight to your words.
Thanks for uploading this Elliot. There's a zazen buddhist center just down the road and I've been contemplating attending a session. The reason for this is that I always feel as though I'm a cynical, conceded asshole who tries to look down upon people simply because I am not good enough.
However, I need to face that person that I am, and tear them out. If silence is the only way, then it's what must be done.
Life is simply crazy. There is no right solution or combination of methods to satisfy the "human condition." I have personally experimented with several methods of discovering answers everything from academia, social interaction, isolation, religion, music, art, athletics, food, traveling, and romantic endeavors. However, through all of these experiences isolation has been the most comforting. In the end, everything that we as people tend to engage in relates to the principle of survival because suicide is something the mind refuses to comprehend.
I think its the balance of all those things that makes life beautiful and worthwhile. Props to you for having done all that. Now you just gotta appreciate all those experiences you have had :)
"I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” -Banksy
Silence is powerful enough to shun you out of existence and invoke your return to the everlasting source of the universe.
I love this, thank you. Never seen this quote before!
Got chills reading that. Cold as fuck but so true... sadly. On a side note, Banksy is fucking awesome!
this is one of those videos that just give you the shivers, because he is just pronouncing things that you me and everyone else have thought through and come to the conclusion ourselves knowing its true.
I just hope sincerely everyone sees this or something similar because i hear and see everyday from the people closest to me complaints on the noise of the world.
I was thinking really deeply about what you say here and it hit me! For me my mind becomes the most silent when I use my talent, drawing. When I shut everything off and all I have is the pen and the page the deep emotional issues come up, and literally out, and I hear them no more.
great points. I actually laughed out loud when you said this bitch is laughing too much
SubhanaAllah.. you are blessed with great physic and great wise.. may Allah blessed you with 'hidayah'
I'm very tuned into what you're saying here, after a torn bicep tendon and surgery I was out of work for months, so I stayed mostly in the woods and found that I can only feel my true self when in complete silence and solitude. Now honestly I wouldn't mind living like that for a very long time but I also have shit I want to do while alive.
Every word is pure perfection..... "God is speaking to you!"
"deal with that shit"
It's not god speaking to you it's you speaking to yourself, you contradicted yourself by saying that when nobody is there to talk to you, you are forced to talk to yourself. Then you turned around and said it's the voice of god, unless I'm missing something and it's a religious thing where everybody has their own personal god, this didn't make much sense. Emerson says that silence is the only way to listen to your own thoughts and I agree which is why everyone should dedicate just a small period of time to think to themselves. My favorite time is when I wake up on a weekend, fully rested yet still in that sleeping phase and I just let my mind wonder. That's the type of silence that will benefit you
It depends how you define god. From what I can tell of Elliotts videos he defines god as some kind of superior force or energi that sometimes controls us and our decisions.
depends on what religion youre talking about, in Christianity on the day of Pentecost the holy spirit was given to believers. The moment a person places their faith in Jesus as the only hope for forgiveness they are given the Holy spirit, which is God living in each believer. lol believe it or don't but that's what it says so yeah technically everyone does have their "own personal god" in Christianity. I totally know that feeling right after waking up its my favorite as well
It's not religion, it's God. Religion is fake, God is real. God is in all of us, whether you believe this or not. You already know everything, but you're slowly uncovering it each day with the hardships of life. I used to not believe in God much, and then that all changed when I made a commitment. Pursuing God and Truth with all your heart is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but the most rewarding. It's not even a less-traveled path, it's a non-existant path that you must carve on your own, where no one else may follow, but all are going towards the same direction, yet take a different route. I have just discovered Ellitott's videos recently, and everything he talks about comes from Truth, with a capital T. I see those moments when he looks down and words just flow out of him, that right there, that's his heart and spirit, his energy flowing out of him in order to give to us. Once you commit to the journey, seeing these kinds of things becomes normal. You understand different key concepts, such as silence. It is so abstract that only one who has experienced the concepts truly knows them, but some are better at communicating into words what they mean.

***** Thanks. I read it on a fortune cookie. Haha, I'm just kidding. I'm glad it inspired you.
I watch this video every once in a while. One of my favorites
Wow! The power of individual thought and expression. Elliott Hulse is part strongman, and contemporary flawed and everyman thinker. Thank you Elliott for whatever drives you and inspires you to continue to make these videos.
I have tinitus =(
Wonderful video. Thank you for this beautiful gift. You have a nice glow about you. Keep it up!!! I can see you are the real deal and truly have a gift. Please use it. Others need it. Your vulnerability is your gift, what you have been offering and why I feel your credibility.
something i had already found out and dealt with but no matter how many times i hear this truth i still find it profound.
A Fundamental Skill that needs to be taught is to listen and unfortunately is not taught by our caretakers at the right age because they have not learned it.
You speak on a lot of controversial and incredibly important topics. I'm an artist, expression is extremely important to me & I've found that silence saved my life. Silence allowed me to really dig deep and express who I was/am. I've had roommates and family around all the time for years however; the past 2 years I've finally experienced living alone. It was great at first then it was scary, lonely & painful but MAN was it necessary. I'm still working & reflecting but being alone with myself has made me love who I am when I hated me for so long. It took me to be alone to recognize that. I don't know if you'll read this LOL, but I appreciate you man. Keep speaking to the world...it helps.
