How healing that was, watching you step up as an adult to speak for your child self whilst guiding your dad through that difficult memory. I admire the bravery of you both.

Hearing him say “it was not your fault” made me cry, that’s something a child waits to hear their entire life

One thing I love about Hitomi is that she never complains in her videos. Even when she’s tired or not in the best head space or things don’t go her way. She just takes in life how it is, expresses how she feels in an honest way and then radiates warmth and gratitude. I want to be more like that 💖

For him, especially as a Japanese, to open up for such a vulnerable conversation does take up a lot of courage. He is such a liberated soul.

I think your questions for your dad really brought out deep emotions and feelings he has. It was beautiful and I know it was healing for him.

[renee]

I teared up a lot hearing your conversation with your dad. I'm so proud of you for being so vulnerable with him and expressing what you needed to in that moment.

“It’s not your fault” I hope you heard those words from your father ❤

[ImaniKhadijah]

When your dad spoke about his regrets when it came to pursuing his true desires, and how that constant feeling of not being good enough and fear held him back, it resonated so deeply with me, especially as someone who struggles with perfectionism. "Instead of being an escaptionist I have to face what I'm most afraid, and that will make me alive in this moment." That really hit home--it was truly beautiful and profound to encounter that conversation so thank you

[yeflynne]

Convo with your dad is significant and made me more motivated in life

[tomhamm]

Just wanted to say your ability to transmute pain into compassion and understanding is so beautiful to watch. I work with troubled youth and often listen to your videos in my downtime and witnessing the various stages of over coming your familial-related trauma, especially with fathers is very empowering. Your content is a great template for how being softer in (understandably) harsh conditions allows for a more forgiving, accepting world for everyone. Your content is beneficial all the way over to Aotearoa (New Zealand) so you should know you are touching community far and wide.

As i get older, i just appreciate my parents more. I get to see how they perceived the world and they also had their own experience and pain, they did the best they know with the capacity they had in raising us

[meljay]

Dam that sit down talk with your pops was deep fr. Must of felt so good for the both of you opening up like that. Sometimes I think we forget our parents are human too (if u get what I mean)

[rose_quartz_loveandlight]

realising how rare it is to seeing our parents/elders co-existing alongside us and thriving across vlogs and social media. Absolutely beautiful ❤

[islamaunder]

I love the way Hitomi isn't afraid to ask the personal questions (in a very respectful way) and delve into deep, shadow topics which are so often taboo in society. I always feel so encouraged to bring this practise into my own life as I think so many of us skirt around the uncomfortable things, especially when it comes to family, friends and platonic/sexual/romantic relationships but it leads to a far more fulfilling life to speak and act with an open heart.

thank you for sharing these special moments with your father ♡

[ae-cn]

your dad saying "it's not your fault" made me cry. i wish my dad were still alive so i could have healing conversations like this with him<3

[Melissa-xmbm]

I cannot describe the deep feeling I had watching you spend the day with your father and having such intimate conversation. I think i gained a sense of healing and understanding - it has made me want to cherish and create these types of moments with my parents. This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[vanessahi]

Your dad seems like such a grounded and a honest person, I know from my own dad how hard it can be to never really hear them open up... He's really distant as well but was never really able to talk about his feelings. Glad you were able to bound in such a way that makes it safe to talk about emotions. Thanks for sharing with us Hitomi, we appreciate it! 💕

[nicole]

i love you so much Hitomi, thank you for being a catalyst in my healing journey, you are a goddess and i send love and honour you so much 💚🌲

[Mushroomspirit]

The healing conversation with your dad made me cry like a baby 🥺♥️ I miss my dad so much and I’m living through your relationship with yours in a way, thank you hitomi 🦋
