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

    Wow! This video has been getting a lot of attention lately haha. I made this video two, almost three years ago during the height of lockdown. I've learned and grown a lot since making this video, but this was truly a pure form of self expression for me at the time. I needed something to hang onto and look forward to back then and this was the result. Glad this is able to resonate with some of you! Thank you :) -Riza

    What an incredible video. At 25 years old I feel like I’ve been in my quarter life crisis for a decade now. I keep coming to videos like this hoping for a spark to reignite the passions I’ve lost, some switch to flip in this chronic burnout I feel. It’s hard. I don’t know where I’m going or what to do, I just wake up and keep doing it. Something has to change. I just don’t know what the first step to take is.

      Same. Just turned 25 last week, still single, searching for my meaning and what I want to do in life. My biggest issue in working through is I really want a relationship, but I know in my heart I’m not ready for one until I can be truly happy on my own, and I don’t mind spending time alone, I just want someone to love me and want to feel excited about life again. I have lots of friends but I feel like I’m spread too thin, and everyone could easily move on in their life. I feel like I’m clinging to friendships and people and not wanting to let anyone go because I’m afraid of being alone. I’m scared that things won’t change, but I KNOW that things are up to me to make them change!! The reality I have to remind myself is that even despite having a strong faith, no one is coming to save me except myself. I need to take ownership of all that I want to change, and continually remind myself how incredibly blessed I am as well! My life is so good, and I’m really proud of myself for the progress I’ve made. It’s ok to not have it all figured out now, and natural to feel behind. We’re all on our own paths, and sometimes the table needs to be for 1 person. You.

Have I told myself countless times to just get off my butt and do them? Yes. Have I gone and done them? No b/c I'm still afraid. But I don't want to keep being afraid. The longer I'm afraid, the more time I would be wasting. I don't want anyone to have to guide me. I should be able to do this on my own. but I feel like that same mind set has held me back.

Start feeling your body by doing sport and be outdoors. I'm stuck now and again and doing sports is the key. Sports without headphones. Let your senses come back and trust them. Stop doubt is another key I find. Taking things as they come. Patience too. No multitasking is another.

    I do not normally comment my thoughts, but today, I felt compelled to share my experience that your artistic work has bestowed upon me. As someone who has been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for a few years now, I have often struggled with the complexities of self-understanding and the disquieting feeling of alienation from those around me. It is as if I possessed the words and questions, yet I struggled to articulate them, leaving me with a sense of isolation and despair, of being forgotten amidst this chaotic world.
    And while I've been passing through this journey of emotions, I chanced upon your four-minute masterpiece, and its impact echoed through the core of my being. The power of it's simplicity blended with profound meaning. Every word you said, every scene captured, and every feeling expressed resonated with such authenticity that it touched the depths of my soul. The harmonious interplay of your artistry awakened a sense of connection that has eluded me for so long.
    I am filled with an overwhelming gratitude that words fail to express adequately. Your art, instantaneously, became a safe haven where I find understanding and a genuine sense of companionship. In this moment, for me, your voice has transcended the boundaries of mere artistry and has become a beacon of light in the deafening sea of existence.
    I can't overstate the significance of this. Your art has granted me hope, of possibility that there is something out there capable of truly resonating with my deepest essence. It is a reminder that, even in the face of personal struggles and existential crises, beauty can be found, and meaning can be reclaimed.
    Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for sharing your wonderful gift with the world. 💕

      @@BrandenHooper I completely agree. I'm not one to comment on videos, as everyone else usually does it for me. Amro SH used the very words I didn't when I replied, saying it better with things like "power of it's simplicity" and "four-minute masterpiece". It's not to say young people can't produce amazing things, as they often outclass us with more experience, it was just so wholesome, genuine, and inspired. The video was beautifully crafted and touching.

    This is an insane work! You've got some talent there, the cinematic, composition, audio and all that jazz. Then the writing, story telling makes it to be a masterpiece.

    How did this appeared in my recommendation 2 years later? This is so meaningful to every single soul out there. I have so many goals to achieve but waiting for them to come to me while I laze around. Now I just got a wake up call that I need to put in the effort to chase after them before time runs out!

    it’s really an awakening to watch and hear this. i’m about to turn 18, and all the pressure of adult life starts manifesting. my main question is: “what’s my purpose in life?” i have interests, even weird ones, but my sloth, definitely non-ambitious and organized habits keep me from doing what i’m interested in doing. i’ve been experiencing poor mental health conditions for the past two years, and now it’s been since the end of the summer i started healing. i can say as of today, i am satisfied with who i am and i embrace self-love and care everyday, but i still feel like i couldn’t be at ease with taking risks or even trying to start chasing my passions. this 4:16 minutes Masterpiece really opened my eyes, and i will take notes from every frame of it. thanks

      With that said, I did find your description of this video intriguing. Would you have any recommendations for YT channels that do a good job of not having the problems you felt were in this video?

This came at the perfect time in my life because I feel the pressures of the direction I'm taking as the road less traveled. However, I'm not getting out as much as I should; as it would benefit my career choice, and my health as well. I hope you are well, Riza; and esp to all those who are reading and actively taking place in the world - Let's leave our mark~ ✨
