Hello, I am kinda new to your wonderful channel. I have a question. Have you ever done where strangers just stare at each other,no words, .....judge honestly just on appearance.(?).Great channel btw.❤
Just fyi that guy explaining how meditation made him feel psychic is because he was improving his intuition by thinking more without sensory distractions. This can feel 100 percent like magic to people who have repressed intuition. The horse story was a coincidence though.
Sometimes you have these really weird stories, like the woman woth the cold. Its just nastu thereya, so pls dont post it. Its not fun to watch the rest anymore. Thats what i dont like about your channel.
@@lesleymurugesu9096 one person’s weird is another person’s wonderful and vice versa. I enjoyed that one a great deal. She posts something for everyone I think.
I want people to know that despite the second guy smiling when he answers, smiling is a really common behavior for people to engage in when reliving traumatic and painful memories. It can be a way of subconsciously trying to tell ourself we’re ok or we seem ok to hold ourself together enough to share. Many of us smile when we’re angry or hear something incredibly disappointing- so the outward appearance of smiling doesn’t mean he’s happy or relaxed about it at all. When reliving my most painful childhood memories of abuse, I’ve always smiled through the pain too.
Yes, exactly this! ❤ Im also a survivor of childhood trauma and I remember on a first meeting with a therapist years ago (in beginning of the process and totally clueless and in denial at this point) he asked me why I was almost laughing and smiling when I just tell him this awful things.. And I had no idea, it was that deep rooted. But it opens my eyes and Im thankful for him❤
The second man is also a victim of war. You can tell this falls heavy on his heart, and he’s taking the first steps to deconstructing military brainwashing. I hope he’s okay.
We don't win them, we perpetuate them for the venal interests of a few at the top. We wouldn't be "dead or slaves" either, but many countries around the world would have a better standard of living because their natural resources would not have been stolen. We are manipulated with lies.@@laststand6420
Hi stranger, I'm okay, I hope you are too. In case you're not, take a few deep breaths and pay attention to it. Take your time to process things and if you can, pray. It helps. Have a wonderful day❤😊
As someone with a chronic illness, the last lady really got me. You don't realize how many things you take for granted as a healthy, mobile person. Once that changes, you change your outlook on life. You're grateful for the days you can get out of bed. For the movement your body allows. For fresh air. For love and sunlight. The simple things.
I have an illness. I'm in pain all of the time and it affects everything including my movement. I've learned to be alright with slowing down. It's taught me patience. I was fiercely independent, but now I've learned to let people help if it's needed. I don't have much choice in the matter and accepted it.
Yes me too. My outlook, my priorities, I'm so much more grateful for all the small things now, if I can just have some or even one of the small things, that I used to take for granted in my life, I feel so grateful now
Same!! I´m chronically ill too and I think the one beautiful thing that comes with it is the gratitude for the little things! Makes me feel bad for the able bodied people that let life rush by :/
@@esel2297I always tell healthy able bodied people that you shouldn’t wait until you’re dying to start truly living and appreciating life. And it’s the only minority a person can join at any point in their life. I wasn’t even supposed to live this long so even if I’m having a bad day I’m still grateful to be alive. I try to make the most of my time here on earth and wouldn’t change the view and appreciation I’ve gained. ❤
The Bubble Booger is probably still part of Steve Martin's memory too. Maybe even part of his shows. Sometimes you just have to embrace the absurdity when the $hit happens to you.
The grim reality of being a soldier. It's better he was willing to share, even if he wasn't comfortable sharing with his dad (that's harder than telling a stranger). They train you to be a killer, but they don't train you how to cope with the aftermath. I hope he can continues to talk about it rather than internalizing. Just doing this video will help others. Still a brave man.
@@lettucesalad3560 exactly..a young man fighting an old man's war and doesn't deserve to suffer the rest of his life.I wish they would just stop the bullshit wars
@@raindog428 TBH, I don't think Afghanistan even fits the typical "BS war" scenario.. the US was responding to the 9-11 attacks, and then staying to re-build and bring basic human rights to women and minorities was a legitimate cause, unlike Iraq.

I know the second man’s smile well. It’s how I smile too when I talk about the things that hurt and haunt me the most. Couldn’t wipe it off my face if I tried. It’s like a mix of misery and anger and you just want to laugh and cry and scream at how fucked up the world is but there’s no way you could explain that, so you just smile.
The woman who was once homeless has some of the most beautiful eyes I have EVER seen! I'm not sure I've ever seen that colour in eyes before! The snot bubble story was hilarious, good comic relief from the heavier stories. The 50 year old woman looks 30 and has such an amazing personality, wow. I hope everyone finds full healing and peace
The Palestinian lady has very kind eyes. The second gent I wish him every kind of healing and wellness and that he will make his peace. Everyone is not a soldier. The 1st gent has wonderful presence. The princess lady had no other choice with those awesome dimples! The reporter was so lovely and down to earth with her snot story 😂The 50 year old definitely doesn’t look it. She has grace and her attitude is infectious.
The second guy, I had a similar reaction to getting beat up by my dad. When he was about to beat us up, including all my siblings, we would laugh nervously, which would piss him off more and he would beat us up even harder. We were scared, the only way to brace yourself for a beating as little kid was to laugh nervously like we did. I read the comments, and it made me think of those days and nights, laughing at the worst times, it is a coping mechanism. Thoraya, what you do is important, most can relate to someone. The lady with the gift of having the ability to walk, she sat one day and enjoyed the sun, what an amazing experience to share, thank you.
I’m so sorry you and your siblings had to go through that as children, and that any children have to experience abuse. It’s unconscionable. I hope you and your siblings are doing well now and know you are worthy of love and kindness.
Yes, but in his case, he also believed that he couldn't go wrong with those bets. I still remember one of the craziest days of my life-02/05/17-when I had a bipolar manic episode and found myself in a similar position, doing Forex on "fast mode" or whatever it’s called, truly believing I could never go wrong. I made over 100 transactions that day, with my adrenaline levels completely maxed out. Later, I received a phone call from one of those "Come on, invest with me" types. This time, it was different because I couldn't hang up, which had never happened to me before. I told him I was already investing and had made $1,000 that day. He started to mock me, saying, "You call that an investment? Blah, blah, blah." The next day, my mind started to return to its senses. Doubt crept in, and that morning, I lost almost everything. I was devastated because this had been my "last resort." Long story short, I somehow knew that until the 19th of May, I would continue to have a breakdown. On the 18th, I was crying on the floor, literally wanting to die, and then on the 19th, I completely changed my mind, just like I had believed I would. Anyway, since September 2016-eight months before this incident-a group had been gathering every working day at 7:30 and 17:30, making "predictions." They were using the Martingale strategy, but six consecutive wrong bets would wipe out your entire bankroll. That day, 02/05/17, was my first time trying it, but I didn't follow the group because the potential winnings were too small, so I decided to go solo. The next day, after losing my money, I still had £100 left and thought about joining that group for their 17:30 "shift." In the end, I didn’t, because I’d had enough. However, I kept watching their chat and found out that they had all lost everything as well. After eight months, that afternoon of 03/05/17 was the only time they had lost six consecutive bets. I knew God was trying to teach me some lessons, and I felt terrible for dragging those guys down with me. Here are some of the lessons about the mind and life that I learned: Invincible mentality: Every action you take leads to triumph. Self-doubting mentality: Nothing goes right. The phone call-was it "God" mocking me about my investments? Ha ha ha. "You call that an investment?" Why did it have to happen exactly then? What are the odds that the group, which had gathered maybe 200-300 times in eight months, would lose everything exactly on that day? For eight months, I kept seeing ads on UA-cam about Forex and overhearing people talk about it on the street because it’s what I wanted to do. But after I completely changed my mindset on 03/05, all of that stopped. The Matrix pushes you to pursue your desires, even if they’re wrong, but at least you convince yourself. If you don’t try, don’t allow yourself to fail and lose everything, then you can’t grow. There are about three or four more lessons from this, but it’s already TL;DR. I’ll share another story that explains the concept of belief. I used to work for three years at a super fast-paced, copy-paste job where I could think about my problems while working like a robot. The hyperfocus from ADHD worked wonders. I was hitting four times my target every day, while no one else could even do half as much. You have to understand that because I was extremely confident in my moves, even I was impressed by them at times-they felt robotic. But every single time I had a doubt like, "I won’t make it in time" or "I’ll mess up the selection," it happened exactly as my doubts predicted. The secret was to focus on my thoughts from my personal life. I dealt with a lot of anxiety back then and channeled everything into my work. Speaking of things people wouldn't believe, it’s been eight years since I awakened and started talking to God and such. At that job, 80% of my thoughts synced harmoniously with my work-every 20 seconds. For example, I'd think, "I need to go to the canteen and wash my cup," and the next record I worked on would be for "Ben Kitchen." For three years, I always hit my numbers-800, 1000, 1200-mostly in the last minutes before going home. A couple of times, I needed a few more minutes, and I used to get a ride home from a coworker who also had to stay late, so happy days. God knew we both needed to finish our work to feel good about ourselves. The thing about life is that whatever we think, do, or happens to us materializes in the outer world. At that time, I wasn't used to it, and I needed a lot of answers, so I was trying to interpret everything. Yes, it’s crazy. Nobody would believe that I can talk to God or that I found a cure for schizophrenia on my own. Nobody would believe that I was infected with HIV at three months old in hospitals because of the decisions made by the "New World Order" and "Pharma sharks" in the '80s and '90s. And yes, nobody would believe that at 35 years old, I’ve never even had my first kiss. Crazy, isn’t it?
I loved that story. Probably wouldn't believe it if I didn't have a very similar time in my life where I was kinda psychic. I'm not very good any more, but I used to just know the answer in a quiz for example, without knowing anything about the topic. Or I could tell the birthday of people if I knew them well enough. This guy reminded me of my weirdness 😅
The princess was so vibrant and beautiful, wow. She does have the air of a princess. She is truly stunning. And seems very knowledgeable. I wish everyone in this video the best!
The lady with the knee replacements, 50 wow what's her secret, but she reminded me of when my late mother had her knee replaced. My two young nephews visited her in hospital and pulled several magnets from their pockets to see if they could stick them on her leg. Our NHS nurses were really amused but showed them both so much kindness allowing the boys take our blood pressures and explaining the equipment and what my mother had been through. Happy memories.
The soldier one made me cry😢 i cried for the teenager he shot and for him too. What an awful memory. And all that for some random politicians who don’t give a shit
I think the second guy is very brave for sharing his experience. So often we know that soldiers come back traumatized by what they had to do and can’t bare to share the details from either not wanting to feel like they are there again or from fear of what others may think of them for what they had to do. I get that wet to some degree need a military but it’s meant for protection not to keep constantly invading and killing people just to collect resources and land. It sucks that because of the needs we have of wanting to secure an education or income that we fall into the cycle of still signing up for it
Yes, it most certainly can. But I choose to live my best life and find joy and pleasure in each day, although I’m 53, chronically ill, never been married with no children, can’t work, and live alone. I entertain myself and have Oreos for dessert every night! 🌻 Sending you light!
Hi Thoraya. The young soldier's horrific experience is awful. I hope he can receive guidance to help him. The beautiful 50 year old lady is spot on regarding what many take for granted on a daily basis. Absolutely one of your most touching episodes. Thank you for your wonderful work. Remember to take care of yourself. Sharon G., C🇨🇦 ❤
the young lady with the 4 knee replacements is not only beautiful on the outside,but she has the most beautiful soul. Yes it is the little things that is so beautiful I always thank God every morning I can walk to the bathroom, for many years I had difficulty walking vacations were ruined so many things I feel like I have a new life . She summed up everything I pray her life is a beautiful knew beginning . Thank you for what you do for your channel to connect us all . Have a lovely day !
My heart aches for the second gentleman. I've shed many tears for the servicemen and women who have to see what the U.S. has become. I cant imagine the pain to serve with your life and coming home to a corrupt government and too many seemingly-ungrateful citizens. Dude--if you read this--so many people care. We love you, for your service and willingness. And we're grieving the idea of this nation right along with you. You were deceived and so were we. God sees the heart. He knows your heart better than anyone. Your heart is so beautiful. I pray for every aspect of your grief, guilt, healing, and health. I'm so sorry for what the corruption in this nation did to you and to that teenager. I pray for healing over you, your family, and his. I hope you're well my friend. Feel free to reach out
Well dang, I was both laughing and crying through this episode. So many emotions. You have a gift Thoraya for getting people to open up to you and telling such interesting stories. Well done as usual. 🌸✨
@@tesselizabeth It helps to lower your anxiety and depression. Try it. See if you can shut your phone off for 24 hours. Walk in the park. Talk to people face to face and smile. Raise your vibrations. Have lunch with a good, trusted friend or family member who genuinely loves you. 💘 Watch how much better you feel. Then pick up that phone and see for yourself. You can do it. Good luck.
Watching these episodes is like a breath of fresh air, the kind of interaction that shows what humanity is all about. I am so sick of hearing about hate, war, money matters or any of such negative vibes...it's so good to watch people being themselfs and share something so deep and genuine
HOW?? HOW did you get me to laugh for 5 minutes straight at the booger story, and then ugly cry for the knee and gratitude? i needed both tough, so thank you ❤
I's such a rollercoaster watching these videos. From war veterans making me feel all sorts of empathy, to people with different disabilities or overweight making inspiring me to take better care of myself and appreciate the beauty that we live in, to booger bubbles making me laugh out loud
Well that was one rollercoaster of emotions! Going from emotional, to stirred, and sorry, to laughing my ass off with that bazooka bubble booger, to finally tearing up but also feeling hopeful and grateful.
We should indeed appreciate the ability to walk and the little things. I was injured, had a stroke and hospitalized, and it took me a long time to be able to go up and down stairs, and walk for extended periods. I try to remember that perspective now that I have healed.
I love these videos. I connect with these people, I really do. I want to say thank you to everyone that participates and opens up in these videos. You make it work! You show that we’re not all that different. We’re all of the human race, with the same needs and comforts. I just really appreciate being able to watch these, and get insight into strangers lives. It’s human connection! 🌎 🔄♾️💚
Omg.. the people that participated are beautiful.. it's so true, we don't know what's going on unless we aak, I'm sending love to each one of them.. May you have peace and happiness. ❤
Timestamp: 4:50. I've been watching your videos for a long time and I normally don't comment. I can identify with this guy. A lot of us go through this. Sometimes it's very hard to handle. Just wanted him to know he's not alone in a struggle.
I can so agree with women who sees alot of negative in this world yet trying to remain positive and be happy. Thoraya your awesome as always ty for what you do and I absolutely love my hoodie...❤
Your channel is helping me cope with my own traumatic experiences more than you would believe. Thank you so much for your wonderful work and the incredible people so vividly and bravely sharing their experiences.
You need kind words too... I love you and what you do. I think you're helping to make humanity greater just by caring or thinking a little more. Stay safe 🖤
first man is giving some solid great advice… exercise, meditation, intuition, learning to master and harness those things can really change everything. still trying to learn it myself ❤
Wow, I can really relate to the woman who has had 4 knee replacements. I haven’t had that surgery myself, but I recently had an eye surgery-strabismus surgery-that profoundly improved my quality of life. I went from having constant double vision and no depth perception for the past couple of years-which was extremely disorienting and debilitating-to having perfect vision again. In the past month since the surgery, I have been overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to be able to see the world clearly again. You really don’t appreciate the simple things like mobility or your senses until you lose them. To get such a thing back again is nothing short of a miracle. God bless the wonderful doctors who do these life-changing surgeries!!
The lady at the end made me cry. I can so relate .....im 36 and im sick all the time. Blood clots, diverticulitis, cyst on ovaries, nobody can really point me in one direction.....i apreciate life so much ....the little things ...time with my kids....watching the leaves fall ...every day i apreciate it so much .....❤
5:46 same really exactly like her, I love people but than seconds after seeing someone do something great, kind, good, I see 5 videos or hear about 5 other stories about someone doing something bad horrible and objectively so wrong, then I know that government don’t actually care about us bc money and what not and at those moment I’m just wishing the sun would explode to erase us bc I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I love humanity but I fear it’s dying for money
Thoraya, you have a magically way of making people comfortable enough to open up to you. I’m sure this is very therapeutic for many of them and their stories touch our hearts. Bless you.
That last one was touching in a way I didn't think it would be! Thank you so much for making this video! It's amazing being able to hear all these people's experiences!
Your videos make me cry and I’m grateful for that. It’s really difficult for me to allow myself to cry when I feel like I should, but these videos just bring it out of me in such a beautiful way. Thank you for making these 💜
Thoraya, my daughters and I have been watching your videos. It's not always easy to watch, we've all cried quite a few times. But what a gift you and your work are to us. Thank you so much.
thank you so much Thoraya for your work ! I think watching your videos made me more empathetic by realizing that you really never know what's going on under the surface, we all face different challenge.. you offer here a kind of deep connection that we rarely see in our day to day life, this is so precious
I pray for total healing for the man who was in the military. I want him to know that he can forgive himself because he was doing what he was trained to do. I pray God sends someone to that man who can help heal him.

yes hearing him talk broke my heart
as Matt Maltese sang, "no one won the war"...
Heartbreaking 💔…..
War is horrible. And if we didn't win so many of them we would be dead or slaves. Unfortunately you sometimes have to choose the lesser evil.
We don't win them, we perpetuate them for the venal interests of a few at the top.

Hope you are well and happy.

I laughed so bad😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The second guy is brave as hell. His response to that trauma makes a lot of sense to have those feelings.
A smile can hide a lot of pain.
It can’t hide what the eyes are saying❤
Robin Williams. The first name to come to mind. 💜
Another thing is that i hope the second guy continues to grow and heal through his experience. Thats some heavy shit to live with i would imagine.
I pray I Jesus name that he finds healing, war is hell, and unfortunately looks like we are headed in that direction again.
@@Cheri94 I don't think i would be able to live after doing something like that. That shit would scar me to death. Literally.

A princess and a bubble booger, and everything in between - I LOVE your videos!!!!!!
I do too. They're perfect if only they were longer... Well done Thoraya!!
This was one was really exceedingly good, though. But yes, these videos all tend to be just amazing.

It's easier to tell a million strangers than one person you love. It's true of a lot of things and a lot of people.😔
or a random stranger face to face. you can have some weird moments with them. its a rare vibe
"That will stay with me past the dementia" - what a tragic but beautiful moment. Such acceptance.

So glad someone else noticed her eyes!! Just like those byzantine icon paintings- but in real life.
I agree. She has beautiful eyes!
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

12:43 "That one will stay with me past the dementia"😂 I'm adding that to my vocabulary
The last woman was dropped dead gorgeous. It is really hard to believe that she's 50!
She said it more than once, and I still have a hard time believing her. Good skin, joy, and gratitude.
The Palestinian lady has very kind eyes. The second gent I wish him every kind of healing and wellness and that he will make his peace. Everyone is not a soldier. The 1st gent has wonderful presence. The princess lady had no other choice with those awesome dimples! The reporter was so lovely and down to earth with her snot story 😂The 50 year old definitely doesn’t look it. She has grace and her attitude is infectious.
The second guy, I had a similar reaction to getting beat up by my dad. When he was about to beat us up, including all my siblings, we would laugh nervously, which would piss him off more and he would beat us up even harder. We were scared, the only way to brace yourself for a beating as little kid was to laugh nervously like we did. I read the comments, and it made me think of those days and nights, laughing at the worst times, it is a coping mechanism. Thoraya, what you do is important, most can relate to someone. The lady with the gift of having the ability to walk, she sat one day and enjoyed the sun, what an amazing experience to share, thank you.
I’m so sorry you and your siblings had to go through that as children, and that any children have to experience abuse. It’s unconscionable. I hope you and your siblings are doing well now and know you are worthy of love and kindness.
So much wisdom in the first man. He is speaking in one of the laws of the universe when saying I have to relax and not care if I really want it !
Yes, but in his case, he also believed that he couldn't go wrong with those bets.
I still remember one of the craziest days of my life-02/05/17-when I had a bipolar manic episode and found myself in a similar position, doing Forex on "fast mode" or whatever it’s called, truly believing I could never go wrong. I made over 100 transactions that day, with my adrenaline levels completely maxed out.
Later, I received a phone call from one of those "Come on, invest with me" types. This time, it was different because I couldn't hang up, which had never happened to me before. I told him I was already investing and had made $1,000 that day. He started to mock me, saying, "You call that an investment? Blah, blah, blah."
The next day, my mind started to return to its senses. Doubt crept in, and that morning, I lost almost everything. I was devastated because this had been my "last resort." Long story short, I somehow knew that until the 19th of May, I would continue to have a breakdown. On the 18th, I was crying on the floor, literally wanting to die, and then on the 19th, I completely changed my mind, just like I had believed I would.
Anyway, since September 2016-eight months before this incident-a group had been gathering every working day at 7:30 and 17:30, making "predictions." They were using the Martingale strategy, but six consecutive wrong bets would wipe out your entire bankroll. That day, 02/05/17, was my first time trying it, but I didn't follow the group because the potential winnings were too small, so I decided to go solo.
The next day, after losing my money, I still had £100 left and thought about joining that group for their 17:30 "shift." In the end, I didn’t, because I’d had enough. However, I kept watching their chat and found out that they had all lost everything as well. After eight months, that afternoon of 03/05/17 was the only time they had lost six consecutive bets.
I knew God was trying to teach me some lessons, and I felt terrible for dragging those guys down with me.
Here are some of the lessons about the mind and life that I learned:
Invincible mentality: Every action you take leads to triumph. Self-doubting mentality: Nothing goes right.
The phone call-was it "God" mocking me about my investments? Ha ha ha. "You call that an investment?" Why did it have to happen exactly then?
What are the odds that the group, which had gathered maybe 200-300 times in eight months, would lose everything exactly on that day?
For eight months, I kept seeing ads on UA-cam about Forex and overhearing people talk about it on the street because it’s what I wanted to do. But after I completely changed my mindset on 03/05, all of that stopped.
The Matrix pushes you to pursue your desires, even if they’re wrong, but at least you convince yourself. If you don’t try, don’t allow yourself to fail and lose everything, then you can’t grow.
There are about three or four more lessons from this, but it’s already TL;DR.
I’ll share another story that explains the concept of belief.
I used to work for three years at a super fast-paced, copy-paste job where I could think about my problems while working like a robot. The hyperfocus from ADHD worked wonders. I was hitting four times my target every day, while no one else could even do half as much.
You have to understand that because I was extremely confident in my moves, even I was impressed by them at times-they felt robotic. But every single time I had a doubt like, "I won’t make it in time" or "I’ll mess up the selection," it happened exactly as my doubts predicted. The secret was to focus on my thoughts from my personal life. I dealt with a lot of anxiety back then and channeled everything into my work.
Speaking of things people wouldn't believe, it’s been eight years since I awakened and started talking to God and such. At that job, 80% of my thoughts synced harmoniously with my work-every 20 seconds.
For example, I'd think, "I need to go to the canteen and wash my cup," and the next record I worked on would be for "Ben Kitchen."
For three years, I always hit my numbers-800, 1000, 1200-mostly in the last minutes before going home. A couple of times, I needed a few more minutes, and I used to get a ride home from a coworker who also had to stay late, so happy days. God knew we both needed to finish our work to feel good about ourselves.
The thing about life is that whatever we think, do, or happens to us materializes in the outer world. At that time, I wasn't used to it, and I needed a lot of answers, so I was trying to interpret everything.
Yes, it’s crazy. Nobody would believe that I can talk to God or that I found a cure for schizophrenia on my own. Nobody would believe that I was infected with HIV at three months old in hospitals because of the decisions made by the "New World Order" and "Pharma sharks" in the '80s and '90s. And yes, nobody would believe that at 35 years old, I’ve never even had my first kiss. Crazy, isn’t it?
The benefits of meditation!!! Love love love the first guy!❤🙏🏽 and the realness of the Second Gentleman.
I’m big into meditation, and it’s clear the first guy is very confused.
@@alst4817why you think so?
I loved that story. Probably wouldn't believe it if I didn't have a very similar time in my life where I was kinda psychic. I'm not very good any more, but I used to just know the answer in a quiz for example, without knowing anything about the topic. Or I could tell the birthday of people if I knew them well enough.
This guy reminded me of my weirdness 😅
@@alst4817 there's been lots of studies on precognitive dreams. It's definitely a thing and I have had some crazy ones myself.
@@sassycat6487yes, dear
The princess was so vibrant and beautiful, wow. She does have the air of a princess. She is truly stunning. And seems very knowledgeable. I wish everyone in this video the best!
With so many serious stories, we definitely needed the comic relief of Steve Martin witnessing the massive snot bubble! 😹
The Nigerian princess has such a beautiful smile! 😊
She’s stunning!
And eyes!
She looks like a princess FR
Where in Nigeria was she from???
@@jasminee2320Oraifite
The lady with the knee replacements, 50 wow what's her secret, but she reminded me of when my late mother had her knee replaced. My two young nephews visited her in hospital and pulled several magnets from their pockets to see if they could stick them on her leg. Our NHS nurses were really amused but showed them both so much kindness allowing the boys take our blood pressures and explaining the equipment and what my mother had been through. Happy memories.
The second guy deserves healing he is a good person ❤
I love how eloquently the reporter expresses herself. She's a good storyteller!
The soldier one made me cry😢 i cried for the teenager he shot and for him too. What an awful memory. And all that for some random politicians who don’t give a shit
Bubble booger woman made me laugh so hard 😂🤣
I think the second guy is very brave for sharing his experience. So often we know that soldiers come back traumatized by what they had to do and can’t bare to share the details from either not wanting to feel like they are there again or from fear of what others may think of them for what they had to do. I get that wet to some degree need a military but it’s meant for protection not to keep constantly invading and killing people just to collect resources and land. It sucks that because of the needs we have of wanting to secure an education or income that we fall into the cycle of still signing up for it
There's something so warm and comforting about the last lady. Love her!!
Being chronically ill is so incredibly draining, it shreds your life of happiness from all the simple things :c
Yes, it most certainly can. But I choose to live my best life and find joy and pleasure in each day, although I’m 53, chronically ill, never been married with no children, can’t work, and live alone. I entertain myself and have Oreos for dessert every night! 🌻 Sending you light!
Hi Thoraya. The young soldier's horrific experience is awful. I hope he can receive guidance to help him. The beautiful 50 year old lady is spot on regarding what many take for granted on a daily basis. Absolutely one of your most touching episodes. Thank you for your wonderful work. Remember to take care of yourself. Sharon G., C🇨🇦 ❤
3:15 I admire his courage, even or especially in the face of having done something like that, even accidentally of course. Conscience shows.
Sending the 2nd guy love. He is so right about war and being sent to fight...
the young lady with the 4 knee replacements is not only beautiful on the outside,but she has the most beautiful soul. Yes it is the little things that is so beautiful I always thank God every morning I can walk to the bathroom, for many years I had difficulty walking vacations were ruined so many things I feel like I have a new life . She summed up everything I pray her life is a beautiful knew beginning . Thank you for what you do for your channel to connect us all . Have a lovely day !
My heart aches for the second gentleman. I've shed many tears for the servicemen and women who have to see what the U.S. has become. I cant imagine the pain to serve with your life and coming home to a corrupt government and too many seemingly-ungrateful citizens. Dude--if you read this--so many people care. We love you, for your service and willingness. And we're grieving the idea of this nation right along with you. You were deceived and so were we. God sees the heart. He knows your heart better than anyone. Your heart is so beautiful. I pray for every aspect of your grief, guilt, healing, and health. I'm so sorry for what the corruption in this nation did to you and to that teenager. I pray for healing over you, your family, and his. I hope you're well my friend. Feel free to reach out
the reporter made my day omg i can'tttt
Well dang, I was both laughing and crying through this episode. So many emotions. You have a gift Thoraya for getting people to open up to you and telling such interesting stories. Well done as usual. 🌸✨
Thank you second dude for bring so honest. You are loved.
you make people think, a lot of people brush off a lot of their life and they forget a lot of it, thank you for making me think about the life i live.
Talk about saving the best for last. That sweet lady so beautifully put into perspective the things we should all be grateful for.
Staying off social media helps alot too.
sorry, what does it help?
@@tesselizabeth It helps to lower your anxiety and depression.
Try it.
See if you can shut your phone off for 24 hours.
Walk in the park.
Talk to people face to face and smile.
Raise your vibrations.
Have lunch with a good, trusted friend or family member who genuinely loves you. 💘
Watch how much better you feel.
Then pick up that phone and see for yourself.
You can do it.
Good luck.
@@sparkle3000
I agree.
That bubble booger one was great! 🤣
Can't express how much I appreciate these recordings.
This episode made me break down and cry a lot for these strangers. I hate that people have to suffer so much in this world.
so good to hear someone mention Gaza, constant prayers everyday
so much compassion to the woman from palestine and the man who served. I love your questions and I love the people who answer.
Watching these episodes is like a breath of fresh air, the kind of interaction that shows what humanity is all about. I am so sick of hearing about hate, war, money matters or any of such negative vibes...it's so good to watch people being themselfs and share something so deep and genuine
HOW?? HOW did you get me to laugh for 5 minutes straight at the booger story, and then ugly cry for the knee and gratitude?
i needed both tough, so thank you ❤
the way you draw emotions out of people is so beautiful!!
I's such a rollercoaster watching these videos. From war veterans making me feel all sorts of empathy, to people with different disabilities or overweight making inspiring me to take better care of myself and appreciate the beauty that we live in, to booger bubbles making me laugh out loud
smiling isn't always smiling.
I pray for the second guy to be healed and everyone to be safe and happy. 🙏
So much depth comes out of these interviews, this is so precious
wow the princess was so beautiful. i wish she shared a little more of her story that’s such a bomb to drop !!
Well that was one rollercoaster of emotions! Going from emotional, to stirred, and sorry, to laughing my ass off with that bazooka bubble booger, to finally tearing up but also feeling hopeful and grateful.
There’s something so emotional about all the tragic and heartwarming stories from such different people all around us.
I’ve never in my life snorted while laughing until the hubba bubba booger
Wow ... I beleieve this is the best video yet?! Love these stories. The simplicity, the vulnerability, the feeling of empathy
The last lady was a joy to behold! She has a compelling presence and the most beautiful eyes that convey inner peace and love.
1:05 - sounds like he 'awakened' his intuition (or: made [his..] conscious)
We should indeed appreciate the ability to walk and the little things. I was injured, had a stroke and hospitalized, and it took me a long time to be able to go up and down stairs, and walk for extended periods. I try to remember that perspective now that I have healed.
Wow! The lady at the end. Her smile. What she says...thank you!
The last woman has the kindest eyes.. she reminds me of my own mother. soft, kind, round face, youthful beyond her years on earth.
I love these videos. I connect with these people, I really do.
I want to say thank you to everyone that participates and opens up in these videos. You make it work! You show that we’re not all that different. We’re all of the human race, with the same needs and comforts.
I just really appreciate being able to watch these, and get insight into strangers lives. It’s human connection! 🌎 🔄♾️💚
Omg.. the people that participated are beautiful.. it's so true, we don't know what's going on unless we aak, I'm sending love to each one of them.. May you have peace and happiness. ❤
Timestamp: 4:50. I've been watching your videos for a long time and I normally don't comment. I can identify with this guy. A lot of us go through this. Sometimes it's very hard to handle. Just wanted him to know he's not alone in a struggle.
I can so agree with women who sees alot of negative in this world yet trying to remain positive and be happy. Thoraya your awesome as always ty for what you do and I absolutely love my hoodie...❤
Your channel is helping me cope with my own traumatic experiences more than you would believe. Thank you so much for your wonderful work and the incredible people so vividly and bravely sharing their experiences.
You need kind words too...
I love you and what you do. I think you're helping to make humanity greater just by caring or thinking a little more. Stay safe 🖤
I’ve only watched 7 minutes and I love and pray for all these individuals ❤️🙏🏽 such strong and brave souls
The blodne woman is a fantastic storyteller
first man is giving some solid great advice… exercise, meditation, intuition, learning to master and harness those things can really change everything. still trying to learn it myself ❤
I was holding back tears while I watch this at work. I can’t imagine the pain to unalive a teenager. That’s so sad
the last person's story was such an important reminder
Wow, I can really relate to the woman who has had 4 knee replacements. I haven’t had that surgery myself, but I recently had an eye surgery-strabismus surgery-that profoundly improved my quality of life. I went from having constant double vision and no depth perception for the past couple of years-which was extremely disorienting and debilitating-to having perfect vision again. In the past month since the surgery, I have been overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to be able to see the world clearly again. You really don’t appreciate the simple things like mobility or your senses until you lose them. To get such a thing back again is nothing short of a miracle. God bless the wonderful doctors who do these life-changing surgeries!!
The lady at the end made me cry. I can so relate .....im 36 and im sick all the time. Blood clots, diverticulitis, cyst on ovaries, nobody can really point me in one direction.....i apreciate life so much ....the little things ...time with my kids....watching the leaves fall ...every day i apreciate it so much .....❤
Try juicing, use castor oil and frankincense.
I love how the people in these videos are always so articulate and have a way to really draw out the viewers’ empathy
last lady doesn’t look even near 50! gorgeous and what a beautiful message
5:46 same really exactly like her, I love people but than seconds after seeing someone do something great, kind, good, I see 5 videos or hear about 5 other stories about someone doing something bad horrible and objectively so wrong, then I know that government don’t actually care about us bc money and what not and at those moment I’m just wishing the sun would explode to erase us bc I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I love humanity but I fear it’s dying for money
I love your videos! Thanks for doing everything you do, Thoraya!
Thank you for watching
Thoraya, you have a magically way of making people comfortable enough to open up to you. I’m sure this is very therapeutic for many of them and their stories touch our hearts. Bless you.
That last one was touching in a way I didn't think it would be! Thank you so much for making this video! It's amazing being able to hear all these people's experiences!
A grateful response from The Netherlands for this channel. Heartwarming and hope for humanity.
Haha the first guy's story is hilarious and pretty interesting cause it didn't work when he wanted it too much.
Okay princess I would’ve believed that immediately you are YOU and you are KIND! 👑🥰
Your videos make me cry and I’m grateful for that. It’s really difficult for me to allow myself to cry when I feel like I should, but these videos just bring it out of me in such a beautiful way. Thank you for making these 💜
Thoraya, my daughters and I have been watching your videos. It's not always easy to watch, we've all cried quite a few times. But what a gift you and your work are to us. Thank you so much.
War is hell. Have gratitude… and a sense of humor. This is what I heard. ❤
thank you so much Thoraya for your work ! I think watching your videos made me more empathetic by realizing that you really never know what's going on under the surface, we all face different challenge.. you offer here a kind of deep connection that we rarely see in our day to day life, this is so precious
I pray for total healing for the man who was in the military. I want him to know that he can forgive himself because he was doing what he was trained to do. I pray God sends someone to that man who can help heal him.
Snot bubble 😂😂😂
I've seen that bubble in anime.
@@MaynardsSpaceship I've seen it in real life,🤣🤢the way she told that story cracked me up!
You could tell she's been a reporter, that was such good story telling 😂
@@sebastiangade absolutely grand storytelling...so funny
Thorayaa, you are a gift to the humankind. I can not tell you enough how thankfull I am for seeing your videos for past couple of years. ❤❤❤
2:57 solo Bach in the background, that man is saying some really serious profound sad things, but the music is the first thing i heard
Thank you for another video Thoraya! It is always so interesting and enriching to see other peoples´ stories
Enriching is such a good word to describe the impact of Thoraya’s videos!
