We love you and you are amazing 💛😊
Your voice ... *so* pure! It's a force of nature.
We all love you so much xxx 💕❤️💜❤️💙
Those bits of song were beautiful beyond words. I really hope you can grow them into full songs, because if you can I think they will be your best by far.
Also, I think past you would be proud of where you are right now. You are doing everything that you set as your goals in the recording, and you are really making the world better with the songs and the words you share with the world.
There is so much wisdom in the words of yourself from 6 years ago. That is very unusual!
As far as I can tell, most people only reach that level of wisdom much later in their life, if ever...
"I'm so amazed by how much I've changed and by how little I've changed."
Such wording...
much eloquence lawl xD
@Enyer 27
And I thought I wouldn’t encounter any sub-stealers today...
MALINDA hi Malinda can you do a collab with Thomas sanders plzzzzzz
@@unapple8374 your wish has been granted, search up Don't Make Me
"People become more of who they already are" has always stayed with me. I feel that Malinda's quote is expressing the same idea in a way.
' _Other people's success is not your failure_ ' wow.. I needed to hear that. I don't know why, but I really needed to hear that
I can fully understand why you feel so, I've been in the same situation myself. Nobody, that I've heard, has said it better.
I can't understand why you feel that, because I've never felt it and don't understand why you feel that way.
Some of my closest friends are literally the most incredible and amazing people, and sometimes, I feel worthless because of it.
yeah same.
Yes!
well, crying at 11 am on a Sunday wasn't what I expected to be doing but here we are.... You're songs are so gosh darn powerful Malinda. I hope you write so so many more.
Enyer 27 I won't subscriber to your channel
Yeah this was my feel. Those song lyrics, taken in the context of the rest of the video, really struck some chords with me. Dammit.
I it's the next Sunday when I saw this.
Your past self would be so proud of you, even if you don’t see it ❤️
"Other people's success is not your failure." Man needed to hear that. I struggle with that a lot.
For real
Me too, friend.❤We can work on it.
It's a motto I try to live by,
However it's difficult
It feels like I am leaving it all up to fate,
Even though I know the alternative is worse.
@America Chavez That's a very USA way to look at it.
Other people's success obviously takes effort,
Often more than your willing to put in yourself.
However that's not all there is to it,
They also need to have enough luck.
Some people achieve success because of their actions,
Others achieve success in spite of their actions.
Some people devote their life to the impossible,
Just for someone to accidentally do it right before them.
According to your logic all that devotion is an utterly meaningless waste of human life.
I wholly disagree with that mentality
And will fight it till my days in the hell fires.
I don’t know why this video makes me happy. It just makes feel feel better about where I could be going.
YAYYY
MALINDA YAYYY

I'll probably record a video for my older version too.
I'm sorry for the cringe and awkwardness future-me
Do iiiiiiit
@@Malinda I will. But tomorrow because it's 7:38 PM and I'm already kinda sleepy tho.
But hey, to everyone in a different time zone: have a great day
If you cringe at your past.. it is good.... shows that *you* have grown
There’s a lot of silly stuff on your channel but I’m glad you know when it’s time to be serious. This is a beautiful video that many people needed to hear I’m sure. Thank you.
"Other people's success isn't your failure." That killed my heart because I've been feeling that exact way recently as my friends and other people my age achieve great things and I fall behind. Thank you for sharing this, Malinda. It means a lot to me to see that I'm not alone in this.
You can't fall behind because every life is unique. You have your own battles that nobody will ever experience, so you are the only one who sets how much it will take you.
Not that it's easy to watch others accomplish stuff that you want for yourself, but be aware of your own steps, the only important thing is to always go forwards.
I've been feeling that way recently, my HS 10yr reunion is coming up next month and practicaly all of my FB friends that I went to school with are married and or have kids. One of my good friends he now has 6 kids.....like what? I just thought I would be a little farther along. When I was younger I never really had any aspirations of what I wanted to do, it was just kinda ambitious getting home from some sort of office job and having like 3 kids running to greet me. That's all I ever thought of and not that there is anything wrong with that, but it didn't really set me up with specific motivation of what to aim for financially. And so I was planning to be married at 25 and have my first kid at 28 and here I am turning 29 next month working in a warehouse packing Bosch products. And I just can't help but feel left out, behind and a failure at what I wanted.
"It's gonna come together! It's gonna come together, just wait!!!"
Wow, that little bit was so profound...! I really want to be at that place where I can look back and say, "hang in there, things really do turn out okay!"
Because I'm nowhere near that point right now and am having such a hard time holding on. I want to have that moment like you.
Maria Stephens I believe you will have that moment. Keep fighting 💗
💓
wow. i teared up in the video. but i cried with your comment.
"I have a lot of other interests, like film (UA-camr extraordinaire) and theater (Once) and foreign policy and community building (the interactiveness of you)."
Young Malinda is psychic. That was an awesome beautiful vid, Malinda. So glad for you that all your dreams seem to have come true. I'm not too big to admit that I even teared up a little bit.
(Oh, and don't worry about the lanyard; my freshman year, I did the same thing)
(Also, massive hugs incoming)
".. Because I though that was normal..."
Me:"it's not?"
".. It's not."
Who cares what's normal in this context? Wear what you like.
Malinda, I just joined college this year. This video makes me want to record something for my future self. People's interests and aspirations change over time but it would be cool to listen to our opinions from the past. I think people should do this more often. Great video :)
Malinda, I almost cried while watching this. As someone who struggles with depression, videos like this give me hope that there's still good left in the world. Thanks for posting!
This couldn't have come at a better moment. 5 years ago I went through the darkest period of my life and I've been thinking about it a lot (in a positive way, praising myself for getting out of it). A few months before that, I made a letter for my future self, 4 years later. The letter doesn't reflect my depression, but I know I went through that.
I would love to tell myself 5 years ago that it'll get better. That all those voices telling you that you're unlovable are lying. That people love you and you don't even realize it, and that they show you their love in vastly different ways. We'll get through this, you'll be happy again and you won't cry every day.
I hope this helps anyone who needs it, and thank you Malinda for always being a ray of sunshine. You've managed to embrace and share positivity in everything you do.
Thank you for all of that. I am so lost and confused right now. I thought I had moved forward and passed whatever happened a year ago, but turns out I haven't. I thought I've figured out myself, that I *know* myself now, and that I understand it all now. Turns out, I haven't. Turns out, I've been digging myself a grave, not helping me recover. And it hurts to realize that.
@@aisekrem3216 You'll get out of it, because you're strong and willing to get out of it. I send you my best wishes and hopes. I know you can do it, please keep fighting.
Carlos Hernández Thank you
@@aisekrem3216 its been a year. Are things getting better? How are you doing? Hope things have improved for you! :)
Hi, Malinda. You might not see this, but I've been watching your videos since the Let It Go translation, and I've been seeing you grow and develop as a UA-cam channel since. You've been there for me when I needed the laughs, but I'd also like to thank you for being you, for thriving to be a better version of yourself, and simply, for your kind existence. I hope that the future has wonderful things in store for you, you'll always have our love and support. ❤
All i wanted to do was give you a hug.
One thing you need to remember our past helps mold who we are today, we are forever changing and growing no matter how old we are our journey never stops.
Your idea about helping others through theatre you have accomplished. Your videos both funny and serious help others. The funny ones help lift people and your serious ones help remind people they are not alone there are people out there dealing with the same stuff they are. That's its ok to have bad days as well as good.
I for one want to thank you, your channel helps me emensly.
A few years ago I started writing a letter to myself every New Year's to be opened the following January 1st. My life and situation changes every year, som years more gradually than others. But I keep each letter, and someday I'll have a whole collection of glimpses into my life written one year apart, monitering my progress.
Six years ago I was in a really bad place, I wish I could talk to myself back then, tell him it’ll be okay, that this too shall pass. This is such a powerful video. Love your work Malinda, not just as a singer but as an advocate for wellness and positivity in this crazy world. Please keep it up and do what makes you happiest
“Keep calm. Carry on. Stay sane”
New merch right there. ❤️❤️
"What you see in me, I struggle to remember and I struggle to forget"
This part hit me hard! Especially since knowing she's talking to her younger self. That's so touching and gave me chills!
That line is apllyable to everyone in every life situation.
You gained a new subscriber❤️
"Others people's success is not your failure" I really needed that. Whenever I see someone do better than me I always start blaming myself for doing badly. It's great to know that at least someone sympathises. Thank you Malinda❤️❤️
Let's comment your favourite line from one of the songs Malinda has translated! It's ok if some of you have the same favourite. I start with my favourite:
Gradually watermelon.
Child, suddenly in the dark, touching me.
Money is good
_My soul?_ *Mostly gingerbread.*
What am I doing?
You can log in to New York!
Thank you for helping me to learn a little about myself through this video. I too need to learn that I'm right where I need to be. Not accepting this is why I've missed out on so many things. Class reunions, meeting up with old friends etc. So thank you. Thank you so much!
major glow up... wow 😍 and you’re so much more confident now too 💘 i love the way you slogged the song into it too
me: huh i wanna be emotional today
malinda's video: _exists_
me: *there it is*
You're a sweetie, everyone with any brains and a heart loves you.
"Other people's success is not your failure... It's a motivation for you to move further... Be better..."
I FELT THAT RIGHT NOW. I AM CRYING BECAUSE I AM SO INSPIRED TO WORK HARDER AND BE MORE LIFE-LOVING.
That is such a cool idea - I think I might want to try that!
“What earrings am I wearing, and why am I wearing them with a sweater? - asking the REAL questions there, Malinda. ;p
EirikurDC, my stomach hurts from laughing at your comment 🤣🤣🤣
Im not crying i swear
God blessed me the day I found my first Malinda video.
I can relate so much to you (I’m a Arts person too😂) and I got emotional with you. I look back on what I’ve been through, what I’ve changed into, how I got that way, and it surprises me everyday how it happened. Love your work (if it’s not obvious) and hope to be the kind of person you are one day❤️
I didn't expect this *FEELS*
You are always a sunshine Malinda dear. Wish all the young people blossoming in their youth. When I look back, I don't even remember when and where I dropped my art talent, kind of miss it...
Now this is a different side of Malinda I've never seen.
You are so kind and lovely and your singing vocie is incredible!
❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️
hi
Hi.
Hi
Hi
Hi 👋
Hi.
this thing is lovely and amazing sending a message to your futureself is just bootiful ☺i mean its send to your heart from yourself the person that knows ya well 👏i am going to do it...i think myself needs this !!💓 your voice in ~magic~ love ya
Do I ever cry at UA-cam videos? No. Am I crying? Yes.
*I LOVE THIS*
I'm not crying you are!
"Other people's success isn't your failure"
Thank you for this.
💖
This video was amazing! 💝
' Other people's success is not your failure ' I needed that Melinda. I see other people my age as nurses, teachers, police officers, and I often think like, "fuck. I have failed so hard" but life isn't a race to see how fast you can get to your goal. It's about enjoying the journey getting there (cliché, I know) I know that my dream of becoming a Teacher or Psychologist will happen. But I need to be patient and recognize that.
So thank you Melinda :)
This song is so touching. Please don't stop making music. I know I'm not the only one who feels deeply for your music 😘😘
Please release this as a song. I need this in my spotify playlist. I love it. Keep it up.
This is so beautiful. And so emotional. Do you know how proud eighteen year old you would be?
I swear everytime you put a video out on this channel its exactly what i need to hear at the perfect moment. And the song is great as well. Thank you Malinda
"other people's success is not your failure". Wow. truth.
The video
Your younger self's words
The song that you put in the background
Your angelic voice
Your lyrics
Those chords
*The whole video is perfect*
I'm so impressed with your ability to show us we can rise up and actually take others up, as well. You make me laugh, you make me cry. Anyone who can affect this old man this way is truly an angel.
There's times I wish that UA-cam had an option above the like button, like a love button, and this is one of those videos that I wish there was a 'love button'.
Well, I'm a 36 year old guy, current diesel mechanic, former cop, prior service military veteran...and you've got me tearing up on a Sunday morning.
Self reflection is a powerful tool. I first found out about you via JVNA's remix of 'Running', but after checking out your channel more I've come to realize that you're an amazing songwriter, filmmaker and person in general. Thank you for sharing, Malinda - what you do can have a profound impact on the most unlikely of people.
BOOM!
A girl after my own heart...
Finding the good and Beauty in everything...
That is EXACTLY why I want to become an Art teacher... so that I can teach the next generation that EXACT philosophy
💝
You make me so emotional. My heart really begins to feel heavy.
That advice about being not jealous of other people’s success and see it as a motivation is definitely something my brother needs to hear. I wish if he heard that advice he would listen but he’s pretty stubborn.
The look in her eyes at 2:38 - I don't know if anyone else knows what I'm talking about, but I have made that look before. When I remember something from when I was in elementary school, that look always comes to my eyes. I went to 3 elementary schools because my parents' jobs required us to move or we were getting a new house. I still have at least one memory from each of those schools. Ever time that memory comes to my mind, the look is on my face and i am overwhelmed with sadness.
So beautiful just so very beautiful and that talent you have in you. Never lose it. Keep being you and keep up that beautiful talent you have. And keep smiling beautiful
I'm just amazed how insightful you were even years ago. It's the kind of self-awareness I can only dream of. Malinda, don't ever stop being your true self.
Your voice and words made me feel much near to the emotions u revealed in your song
Just wanna listen more of it..
We have a lot in common. Trying to look for the light in the darkest moments. Trying not to put myself down for not being where I want to be yet.
"To use the arts in a way that is profound and has a good effect on humanity". You are having a good effect on me for one!
Don't be -negative-
Be *positive*
_you got this!_
*I absolutely love this!*
Apart from the obvious singer/ songwriter talents you have obviously always had great skills in perception/ insight, social and personal intelligences, good language mastery in expression and connection. Because of your underlying strengths I confidently predict that you will develop as a singer/ songwriter more than you could imagine if you did the same sort of 10 years later experiment now. Besides all that, you shouldn´t give up on your private self----that ¨Malinda¨ girl sounds pretty damn special.
I found this channel about two weeks ago and I was immediately hooked after I saw that you have potentially the best way to reach people on a musical level and on a hilarity one as well with Translator Sings and I may get emotional about this but I have scoliosis and I'm the opposite of you, girl but do things that make you feel better about yourself. It makes me so happy to hear your voice that brings joy and happiness for other people including me. thank you, Malinda for your videos and music. You're the best. 💙
I don’t know if you’ll see this comment at this late date and perhaps it’s that I need to speak it more than you need to hear it. I’m 70 years old and it was so worth the wait to find you. You move me profoundly. I feel a part of me that had long been dormant is now awakened. Thank you Malinda 🙏🏻❤️
'other peoples success is not your failure' - thats something i needed to hear wow
You are exactly where you need to be.
And you deserve all the hugs from people you feel comfortable with.
Thank you for sharing your feels.
You have touched many lives in a good, giving way. And mine. So thank you.
Looking great, Malinda; beautiful singing voice, sweetheart ❤
I would recommend not only keeping this video around, but ask yourself basically the same questions where you are in life today, capture that, then watch both again in another 10 or 20 years. It's probably easier for others around you to see how you evolve, than for you to see it yourself.
I must say that you are such an intelligent human being. That is one of the reasons to why I think your videos are so great. They are funny without being over the top or frivolous. I love what you do and you are such an inspiration for other humans in this world. Thank you!
I have to say.... You have no idea how applicable this is. I have just come out of uni with a masters and I am currently unemployed and finding it very hard to find a job. Many of my friends are getting married, buying houses and just... You know living life while I feel I'm very stagnant. Thank you for sharing this. It's opened up a great door that makes things easier. Something you seem very good at is helping people through your own experiences. Glorious is where we are and growing. Oak trees don't grow instantly :D thank you again x
and this is why I love you and your videos you are an inspiration to me so thank you
Also Job wide to be in a position of string standing. With like minded individuals. To not be afraid. To be strong rolled and a great listener. To eb a protector and a moving motion, a force an arrow.
I value you Malinda. You're a really great expressionist.
Don't worry, you're living your truest life purpose without a doubt! Beautifully and to the benefit of us all. Thank you for what you do 🙂
you have an impact on OUR humanity, with each song you write
You Have a Absolutely Beautiful Voice. Malinda. You are a Absolutely Beautiful Person
Malinda, I'm really glad I happen upon this video. I am just finishing my freshmen year now, and I'm struggling with what I want to do in life. I love the arts. Photography, painting, singing. But ever since I was little I wanted to be an actor. Not the most realistic, I know. I did theatre in high school, and I wanted to continue it in college, even if it's just as a minor or in drama club. When looking at colleges my want for a good theatre program was put on the back burner by my mom, whom I love very much. She went for one semester for theatre and realized that it wasn't reliable to make a living, and she loves me, so she jus wants to make sure I can find a steady job to live off of. And I understand what she's saying and where she's coming from, but there's just something inside me that keeps telling me that if I got the chance I could spread so much joy through the characters I would become. My heart yearns for the arts. I want to look at other colleges in my area that have theatre, but there's also something inside me that tells me to just stay where I'm at and not take chances.
I know this is long, and you may not see it, but if you do...do you have any advice for me? Nothing big and ground breaking, just something you wish you could tell your younger self to ease her worry. Thank you!
Btw, I love your videos, your confidence, and your energy. You inspire me.
One of these statements is great advice for me.
You're one of them clever people. One of those sparks on a fourth of July evening filled with hope and things to offer. I've only recently discovered you coincidently on a journey to find my voice. I think you're a great inspiration. Thank you!
What a coincidence I just wrote a letter to my 25 years old future self and looking you having almost everything that your 6 years ago self wanted gives me hope
stay strong malinda!! 💕💕💕💕 glad you’re happier now
So relatible and sensitive. You have come so far. Sometimes its good to look bsck and see where you've been ❤😊 👋💞💞
No one through history, Past, Present or Future has ever thought they have done enough or travelled enough or earned enough as they thought they deserved or worked for at any point in their lives. All you can ask for is to be as happy as you can be, now.
I found this very moving. I'm a third year theatre student at Uni, and I have so many passion's and interests and I too feel so vauge. I don't know which direction to turn. But you are such an inspiration to me. Your videos have brought me such joy and so much room for thought aswell. You give folks like me hope that dreams can become real, but if there not it doesn't mean failure. Your amazing. Thank you!
I love how your song treats you as two different people. A lot of wisdom to be found here.
WELL I WASN'T PLANNING ON CRYING TODAY BUT HERE WE ARE
Truthfully though, I absolutely love this video, and it's so nice to see you being real with us and sharing some of your most personal moments with us. I just want you to know that while I think the translations are fun, the thing that keeps me always coming back to your channel and always looking forward to the next upload is your kindness and wisdom and compassion that we get to see in these types of videos. I hope you continue to create and bring your light and positivity into the world for a very long time. I think it's particularly fitting that this video came out on the Jewish new year, because it is a time to remind ourselves that we need to be cognizant of the past, but never stop looking forward. Everyday is a new opportunity to be a better, kinder person, a chance to grow and learn and leave the world a better place than it was yesterday. Love you forever ❤️
You're a gem Malinda, you got it, great poetic song going with it.
I'm a dumbazz, I wrote you out a HUGE comments explaining why I found your channel and UA-cam kicked me in the nuts..poof gone. I was brought to tears by your music, but I'm weak to the effects inside.
It's weird even the melody can, mostly minor chords. Music addict since birth, classically trained in guitar from a young age, I play/like all music, mostly hardcore/death/black/rap metal. Late to the scene and Fascinated with connections with classical and operettic.
Blah Blah Blah,, whatever I was/had saying/said..
You have no reason to cry, you're doing just what you thought years ago, you have the skill, are focused and humble, a full pull with the lyrics. Things are going to get great, I feel it for you. Stand proud and don't change a thing! Your past is the past, a real nice past, time to kick regrets to the curb.....well unless it help you write.
I know what you mean about "your inner self leaving", some thrive on pain, it's a direction to focus into things deep. Myself, if I'm not mentally happy, I don't play, I hate playing. I had a few life problems a few years ago, but the inner me returned! It always does... eventually! hehehehe!
Oh by the way. the videos with the metal singer getting advice, I love them and you two should do more together. He really respects you and ……… you look good as a couple!
Just sayin.
I well always be here as a fan and I have a few connection if you are into collaborating.
Cheers!.
Peaceout
This is so beautifull
Wow! That inspired me! I think I'll make myself a video now in my freshman year of high school and watch it at the end of my senior year
Malinda! You are such an instpiration! You are one of the few influencers that use your channels for a purpose and it is great to watch! So proud og you!
I'm going through a "MALINDA-flix marathon" in the last few days and... WOW. It's been great to see the beautiful human being that you are. Thank you for the inspiration. Really! Hope you know that you're making the world a better place with your music and these videos. Stay safe.
"There are parts of you that will always be there for you and come through".
This is actually a very comforting thing to hear. Thank you!
Just watched this video now. So true. So relatable. Never forget why you do what you do. It's part of what makes you, well, you.
Good luck and all the best for your future.
Hi I love your videos so so so so so so much keep doing what you do and keep making people smile! 😊
*i* _love you_
