Things I wanted to say but never did...

I asked this question 5 years ago, the first month of me starting this film project! Let me know in the comments if you remember watching the first video as well. I can't believe it's been 5 years!... #bekind

Isn’t it funny…we all think we’re the only ones who feel a certain way…but we’re all walking around with the same worries and regrets and concerns

"Nearly everybody is wearing a facade, some are just wearing it to a greater degree... Being vulnerable is what we're fearful of." Agreed and thank you. I am working on this.

Heard so many “brother”cases! It really puts light on men’s mental health issues that aren’t spoken about. We gotta put a stand to prioritizing/seeking help before it’s too late. Life is so much more precious than most people know.

People live with so much burden on their shoulders. I wish they all heal and live a peaceful life and see beauty in the world. You are doing a great job doing videos likes this, it’s healing

To all those people who mentioned their sibling: Thank you for that reminder.
My brother and i have never been super close. I had to leave home at the age of 20, had to learn to stand on my own feet, make my own decisions, be mature and independent. He stood at home until he was almost 30, never left the town we grew up and he wasnt eager to explore the world. Early 2020 he was diagnosed with chronical myeloic leukemia and althouh the pill therapy works very well right now, there is this constant fear in the back of my mind that he might be gone some day. Our relationship still isn't super close but thanks to the video i had the urge to send him a short "I thought of you and i love you"-message.

The first guy☹️ My heart goes to you please don’t blame yourself as it’s your parents manipulated you to do that. Much love ❤

I think one of the hardest moments in life is realizing that sometimes you don't get second chances. Maybe that is also a point when you start living.

“When did you stop loving me” is the saddest question in existence. Omgg 😔

Something that i have always wanted to say was to a cat. She was my boyfriends cat, but i loved her like my own. She passed away in January. i grew up with no pets, and getting to have a bond with her before she passed was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wish i would have told or communicated to her in some way how much of an impact she had on my life. I miss her and think about her everyday

"if the effort outweighs the pleasure, it's time to move on"

damn

[ItsFreshItsAnne]

I swear, we never stop being children trying to make sense of ourselves, our world and how we fit into it. Watching others being vulnerable is just SO beautiful! This is whats around us. We are all starving for true blue kindness, love and understanding. Thoraya, thank you for putting your talents into this. Its so important we have footage of what we really are out here, not the content made with an agenda. Thank you, beautiful! ♥️

That's really heart-breaking how many people are losing loved-ones to drugs particularly fentanyl. I'm not from the US but I know it's "coming over" here too and it's scary. I watch Soft White Underbelly videos and 80% of people there are fentanyl addicts. The inequalities in the US boggle the mind, really.

I kinda envy everyone who has found their group of people where they can also hang out with each and everyone individually.
I never found that and think it's incredibly important. The girl can truly be happy about having her friends.

The two sisters were amazing, turning it on Thoraya and everything

[JJMomoida]

I very much appreciate this channel. Hearing people spill their hearts out, even briefly, is always interesting to me.

[timmytuttle]

The first guys story made me audibly gasp and start to tear up. Parents aren’t supposed to use and bully their kids. Children should feel loved. I feel you man.

[iismyalias]

I loved the 2 sisters. If the effort outweighs the pleasure - it’s time to move on. Timeless ⏳advice.
Reminds me for some reason of the words of Anais Nin:
“Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.”

Man the brother ones hit so hard. I wish I could have told my brother so many many things. I lost my brother due to drugs as well, he was ten years older than me so he was my hero, when I grew up I realized his demons. At the advice of his parole officer and our family therapist and psychiatrist we needed to cut him off, no enabling and letting it traumatize us, they said he had to hit rock bottom (which in my opinion he was already at) we did cut him off. He died less than a month later. I wish I would have never stopped being there for him, I wish I could tell him I’m sorry for all the things he went through and I loved him no matter what! RIP brother.

I love the 2 sisters at the end! Such wisdom, such jolly and carefree personalities... they've seen it all! ❤️❤️

There was a trend here, most young people talking about regrets in relationship buildup and progression while most of the elderly ones regretting inactions and words unsaid due to the loss of a person that was part of their family.
I'm now aged in-between these two groups. Watching my folks grow old; I'm scared for the future, but this video helps me remember to say "I love you" to them every once in a while.
