    What's so impressive is that you're writer, cinematographer, camera operator, actor, narrator, editor, music chooser, everything is you, but it maintains the heart and emotional core, despite you also thinking of all those other aspects.
    Genuinely if someone told me your films were made by a team of experts and you were just the main character, that would be more believable to me.
    An extraordinary talent. No wonder you're tired.

    Because of you, I’ve found the courage to chase my dreams. Your storytelling is pure magic, and the way you masterfully weave emotions into every frame is beyond inspiring. I can’t stop rewatching your videos-they feel like a warm embrace, full of hope and creativity. Thank you, Natalie, for showing me what’s possible and for being such a beautiful source of inspiration. you’ve truly inspired me to create something meaningful too!

      Perspectives are so crazy. Because when I watch stuff like hers, that is so good, it takes my hope away of ever creating anything that tells a story so well. I realize its my own mental issues and no fault of her......its just comparison truly is the thief of joy, but knowing that doesnt prevent it

  • @meeh1918
    @meeh1918 Місяць тому +195

    "We think it's worth it too."
    I remember posting comments about how your films make me feel throughout the BORDERLESS series, and I believe you read some of them, but NOTHING comes close to this particular one.
    I have never related to someone this much.
    This film holds a much greater meaning for those who identify with it-for those who experience burnouts but refuse to accept it because they can't stand the idea of failure, for people who overthink everything and struggle with anxiety.
    For the ones who question whether their projects are truly worth the physical and mental effort but find it extremely difficult to leave something unfinished, even when it becomes too draining-because if they do, they'll start wondering if all the plans they’ve made are set to fail.
    For those searching for the culprit of the constant pressure they feel, only to realize it's themselves.
    For the people who go through all of this but hold so much PASSION for what they do that they end up achieving their goals.
    Seeing Natalie comment about not being able to accomplish simple personal goals, like tuning her guitar or reading a book because her projects take priority over everything else-and later in the video, watching her tune the guitar, play a new song, and read the book she wanted-felt like a warm hug that says, "It was tough, but you can take a moment for yourself now."
    It was a kind reminder to breathe, to live more in the present, and to take a break when things get too hard.
    Most importantly, to prioritize the person behind all the projects, to celebrate your achievements, to feel proud of what you’ve accomplished, and not view them as just items on a to-do list.
    It made me feel seen and understood.
    Natalie, if you're reading this, thank you so much for making this incredibly touching and relatable film. I'm proud of you, and I just wanted to remind you that it’s worth it.
    (But please, take your well-being into consideration.) 💚

    natalie, borderless changed my entire perspective on life, there is no art ever that has had such a profound impact on me in the same way your series did, and for that I will be forever grateful, thank you for giving me the courage to create and experience meaning (:

  • @CrashPolaris
    @CrashPolaris Місяць тому +77

    This might just be my new personal favorite film you've created. While Borderless was truly incredible, this video captures a feeling many artists feel but are not able to express. You’ve done an amazing job capturing the beauty of finding harmony between peace and sacrifice as an artist. Thank you, Natalie, for creating something so special. 💛

    "I believe in myself less now that people believe in me"

    Your videos have never failed to bring me to tears, and I've been watching them since the beginning. Most people say their cheesy dream job is acting. But mine has always been a director. And that started with your videos. Watching your videos showed me the true love and appreciation I had for filmmaking. While I'm not on the path for that years later and that doesn't bother me, I'm still content to dream. Your videos give me that.

  • @developingtank
    @developingtank Місяць тому +41

    Your work is proof that there’s so much value in taking time to create. People still see what you make, because it has value for them. And, it has value for you since you’ll look back on these videos years from now and still be proud of what you’ve created. A lesson “content creators” of all ages can take to heart.

  • @Mersaas
    @Mersaas Місяць тому +10

    When obstacles started playing I started crying. I have watched every video that you have created throughout these years you’ve been posting, and it has truly had an impact on me personally. I aspire to be like you in my future, able to put my emotions into art, and express them in another way than speaking. I admire you, and I thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.

    my soul feels deeply connected everytime I watch your videos. it's so hard to explain-from the color grading, the music, the frames, your thoughts, and each of every part of your videos, all resonates deeply within me. I also get the feeling of the real meaning of passion as I struggle being a perfectionist my whole life putting my soul just to create the output i was expecting. but we also have to remember that perfection is a state of mind. i also get so excited when I hear my favorite musics playing through your vids like the obstacles, bon iver songs, hopefully you can also look through my favorite artist novo amor, maybe you can get anything from him for your next videos!

  • @VladimirPackard
    @VladimirPackard Місяць тому +90

    I don't like to comment on videos, but I need to say this in the hopes it'll be read.
    I've always had agoraphobia and was never able to leave my house. My fiancée and therapist both always recommended to slowly expose myself to the outside world and to the unknown but I was petrified for years to even try. Thank goodness for the pandemic to give me an excuse to dodge the responsibility of exposing myself to the world but when I watched Borderless, something clicked. It took time but the idea of being on an adventure was so tantalizing that it made me begin to feel trapped and I had no one to blame but myself. So, my fiancée and I drove a few miles away. Then a bit further. We started staying nights in distant cities, in far off states. And now, a couple years later, I just came back from an adventure almost 1000 miles away from my home, all across the East Coast!!!!
    I film and take pictures of everything, not to share online, but for my fiancée and myself. Chasing freedom is always going to be uncomfortable to anybody, and that was the pill that I swallowed (along with my clonazepam) that pushed me out there. My therapist knows about you and your films and how impactful they are and we've had discussions about them and I'm so grateful that that series existed and that it found its way to me.
    What you created was deeply inspirational and got me outside. My profile picture is a polaroid picture that was taken at a lantern festival, and never in a million years would I ever thought I could even say that. But I am. Thank you.

Whether its for better or for worse change is inevitable it is something we as a species can never truly control and that's ok. Natalie you are a spectacular artist and I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say it doesn't matter how long you need I know that what you will create next will be fantastic. Just make sure to not over work yourself and make sure to care and love yourself because you deserve nothing less than to achieve your dreams.

    I know exactly how you feel-thank you. I have a secret UA-cam channel, and last 2 years, I poured my heart and soul into creating just two videos.
    It was exhausting, trying to balance my job and filmmaking, and I am struggling with the same questions.
    Even though my videos haven’t worked and no one is watching them, I’m still proud. For me, the privilege of being able to create is enough.
    And thank you so much, your films played a big part in my last 5 years, in shaping my beliefs, I am from Europe and 3 years ago I decided to travel the Oregon coast because I saw it in your videos, and 2 years ago I decided to start a filmmaking passion. Thank you, so much!

    It feels so surreal to have someone speak on such similar thoughts and struggles. It is so rare to have someone so sincere and raw when taking about mental issues, and to capture and express it through art is genuinely mind blowing. Your ability to connect and resonate with your viewers makes it feel like I’m catching up with a friend. You are truly a breathe of fresh air in the vast sea of videos on UA-cam!

    Can’t believe that I was also 19 when I first discovered you. Your courage in moving out, traveling, and pursuing what truly matters for you has fueled my drive to continue in life nevertheless. Now, I’m finally 22. For the last couple of years, so much in my life had happened too, and we may be chasing different paths, but I feel like I’ve been growing with you. You inspired me sooo much.
    YOU’RE ALWAYS WORTH THE WAIT, NATALIE. AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF THE AESTHETICS AND HOW WELL PUT YOUR FILMS ARE, BUT BECAUSE YOU YOURSELF, YOUR PASSION, AND DEDICATION IS WORTHY OF EVERY RECOGNITION I COULD EVER THINK OF. IT FEELS LIKE A HUGE PRIVILEGE TO WITNESS ALL THESE.
    I hope that you would give yourself enough time to breathe and allow yourself to live life that is free of any weights. May you heal from all the unspoken loads that happened behind each of your masterpieces, in the same way your films have healed us. We will always be here, we are happy waiting, so just take your time, our Natalie.

    Nathalie, you're in my top 3 of youtubers who post the most elaborate videos, worthy of documentaries. I'm so happy to see one last video from you before starting 2025, and I can't wait to discover your next project. Good luck with the editing and I hope to see you soon!

    gods I am so grateful for this gorgeous reminder to slow down. I've really been struggling with feeling run down creatively because while pursuing a degree: trying to balance that while feeding my art has been really hard. this reminded me that my creativity is still there, that it can still erupt if I give it enough energy, even when it feels like it's been lying dormant for a decade. thank you, natalie, for being vulnerable and sharing this with us. I don't have nearly enough words to tell you how much I appreciate it (and I'm a writer). you're amazing

    *This is your best video yet.*
    It feels like watching the most humble yet most inspiring and inspired victory lap. There are several moments in this video that are among your top ten best moments in a video, I think. I, now more than I ever could’ve before, believe in your potential to create films that don’t have to be just your life but may be a (to whatever extent this is artistically possible) more detached artwork. I’m genuinely in awe at this video and already know I’ll watch it many more times as your crowning achievement of not only Borderless but every video you’ve made so far. Whatever you make next, it will be great - I have every confidence. ❤🙌

    Hi Natalie,
    I’ve been watching your videos for about a year or two now, and every time I look back, I can truly feel the passion and time and love you put into them. You’re such a sensitive person who wants the best for everyone around you. You often put yourself in the background, but at the same time, you deeply wish to express yourself and share your voice with the world.
    I’ve been there too-at your age, I had moments like that. It felt like the wind sweeping across the earth, a silent caress from the planet itself. But as I grew older, the opportunities to express myself became fewer and fewer. I’ve been lost, I’ve tried, but in the end, I didn’t stick with it.
    Sometimes, I really envy you. At this age, you can create boldly and explore fearlessly. I hope you never lose that passion you have for what you love! Thank you for giving me strength. I hope both of us can continue creating stories that truly belong to us.
    Take care,
    Lantos

    I've been watching your videos since long before BORDERLESS began, and it has always been an absolute pleasure. The ability to see beauty and art in what most would consider the mundane has been inspiring to watch and gotten me through some pretty tough times. This will no doubt get buried in the thousands of other comments with similar sentiment but THANK YOU! Your work is beautiful to watch. Can't wait to see what you do next.

    I don't make films, and you're barely a year older than me. But I really look up to you and how you make these art pieces that always inspire me to get on my notebook or phone and write something for the next song, or work on some melodies for the next EP or whatever I really wanna create.
    Every video just bring me back to loving the thing I love to do like it's my first time doing it. And I don't know if that made sense to you. But really thank you for these videos and hope your next film succeed on an international level and even more. < 3 < 3

    Yo guys! I can imagine that probably no one here will answer at all, but I give it a shot by asking if someone, watching this beautiful video and maybe catching this comment, is experienced in this-
    Travelling around on low budget, maybe even in a van.
    I just want to talk and know how it really is, because I catch myself way to often fantasizing of running off to adventures, and I just want to know the reality of living or travelling temporarily like this :)

      What are the odds, scrolling through the comments before writing one myself, and yours was the first I saw! I am traveling in a van, been doing it full time for seven months and counting. Currently in the desert of Fuerteventura (traveled all the way from Sweden to here)🏜️ I’m making films about our travels if you want to watch, and I would happily answer any of your question about van life and living on a budget 😅 trying to evolve as a filmmaker (even if I’m still no where near Queen Natalie) during my time in a van as well.
      Follow your dreams about vanlife, it’s so worth it 👏🏻✨ I root for you 🥰🚐

It’s clear how much effort you put into not only the content but also the visual storytelling, which made the whole experience even more inspiring. Thank you for always raising the bar and sharing your creativity with us, Natalie!! it’s so so motivating to see your dedication to your craft! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

    11:35 Natalie, I don’t know your faith. I don’t know how close you are to god, or if you believe at all. What I want you to know is that there is a loving god who’s unconditional love for you will both save your soul, and show you a love better than life itself. You feel empty because god is running after you just hoping you will turn around and see his love and know you are destined for the light. I know it can be difficult to accept or even think about if you aren’t used to it, but your art can be used to bring a perfect eternity to potentially thousands of people through him. You will never find what you are searching for without him. This isn’t a criticism of you or anything of you, but a hope for you to discover what is real and bring a full heart to your next chapter. I love you and your videos and I pray you will find him.

    I'm 18 and a filmmaker(or at least I'm trying to be) and have been watching your channel for a couple years now. Whenever I need inspiration I look to you because your videos are art and poetry, a testimony to where you've been and who you're becoming. At the end of your videos I am always left with a desire to create and an itch to get out into the world and just experience what it means to live. Thank you for pouring your heart into these projects.

    You have a way of speaking to my inner self, it's just different.
    I am at the end of my twenties and a filmmaker myself, and your work inspires me to explore my own art in a way that I didn't know was possible before.
    I hope this message finds you and helps you realize that, no matter what you do from now on, you have marked me and so many other people on a personal level.
    Your art is a part of us now.
    Thank you for that

    Yet again I adored every second of watching this, always capturing the moment so well, I always feel like I’ve watched a 3 hour long movie when it’s only been 17 minutes, words can’t describe how proud I am of you, I’ve seen you grow in these past years, I’ve seen so many amazing movies, series and UA-cam videos, but your videos are always the best by far, I’ve never seen anyone capture moments so beautifully like you can, I could sit here all day and write a whole book about how much I appreciate you, thank you for being a part of my life, your videos are truly my therapy and my peace and I can’t thank you enough for that

    Your videos always make me cry... In a good way. Despite all of our struggles, life is truly beautiful and worth living. There are so many chances and possibilities for all of us. We should believe in our dreams and also find beauty and joy in the little things. Even when everything feels like it's going downhill, there are better times ahead.
    Thanks for reminding me again
