People are so afraid of death, I find it such a relief. I am thankful my time will inevitably end, it gives it meaning.

[MayoUtuk]

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
I lost my mother 8 years and she left me a house, several times I tried selling the house, i couldn't wait to make enough money to be able to move out of here.
I was forced to live here because I had no choice .i hated it here I felt stuck and I was so unhappy.😢

It wasn't until I started watching your videothat I began to see the good in my situation . You made see the value in living simply and my life and I am so grateful to be here and am glad I didn't sell my home because now I proudly document it and share it with the world. Thank you 🌈🌿☀️

Such an amazing video. I have not always been the main character in my life. I was always a daughter, sister, wife and mother first. Now after getting a divorce and my children are grown I’m finally deciding that I’m important enough to be the main character in my life. I love your slow living and slow travel videos. I’m finally slowing down and feeling so much more at peace with myself. Thank you

Our exams are over. Me and my friends promised we would hang out, but we haven’t. They have other things to do. I feel lonely. But I realised how dependent I am on others to feel joy in life and how I need to stop this. I need be okay with being alone and I need to do simple things like ordering food by myself. I need to take control and I will take control

I found this video this morning. Thank you as it was such an awakening tor me. I am slowly changing things in my life. You are such a beautiful soul. . Everyone should listen to what you have to say, You are so alive.

"Reality is far more interesting than fairytales" Wow, thank you! This made me gasp because it's so true! 💗🌷🦋

[AlexBlank]

I like that you mentioned that being joyful is a skill. It seems as though so many people feel like failures because it doesn't come "naturally." It really does take a lot of strength and intention to lead a happy life, though everyone's capable of it :)

"REALITY IS FAR MORE INTERESTING THAN FAIRYTALES."

So true, Helena! I got goosebumps when I first heard you say the above words in this video. Be the main character in your own fairytale, your own story. Thank you for sharing!

[VerenaSatriani]

I adore every scene here, sea, hills, sky, sunrise, sunset and all. They remind me how beautiful life is. And you are the true beauty between them all, Helena. Thank you for this amazing piece <3

I just love this, so beautiful. You are right time is currency. I get annoyed daily at the loss of time, and how it is wasted with toxic people and mundane chores etc. I always say to myself maybe tomorrow and tomorrow turns into next week, then next month etc. Soooo, since my situation is not changing anytime soon, I am trying to change my perspective. I am thankful for hot and cold running water, food to eat, a roof over my head, my daughters' laughter/joy (because they are not the happiest most of the time) so when I hear that my heart is so full. I have little time, but I started reading fiction again and am getting lost in that. I feed the birds bread every morning and they are there waiting for me. I love that. I enjoy gardening and taking care of my houseplants. What I do is not much to others, but I am slowly creating or finding me. I am the main character of my life and I want to be happy. I can't have a redo on my life at this point, but I would like to write/create the rest. Thank you for your video. Have a great day!

[mariannehartner-godown]

This is the best video I’ve seen on this topic. Most of the advice I keep hearing is things like “Take pictures of the beautiful things in your life and post them on social media”, or “Treat yourself and buy something you don’t necessarily need, but you think would make you happy”. That’s fine if you want to do those things, but I think they miss the point! Thank you for this. 😌

[gabizinhalima]

you are a gift in my life, seriously. im struggling w anxiety and depression, and you dont know how important you've been this week!!!! God bless you!

[kanzul]

the complexity of life is what makes it beautiful 💛

[rebeccal.]

Loved all the scenes and your message. We need to be more positive. It has been d**n hard with Cooties 19, civil unrest, and lock down. Thanks for sharing.

[alotlikelife]

France is one of my favorite country in the world. The way you describe life, I have always felt it but have never seen anyone describe these simple joys this beautifully. Keep creating beautiful videos, love binge watching your channel <3 Much love, from India

[flapdoodlecacklberry]

This video is a total work of art! 🌈 I am overflowing with tears of joy as I write this!!! 💝🎵 Thank you so much dear one! 🌟💖🐿️🌺

This is beautiful. Life is a gift. Many people have struggles in life, and yet are still able to make their life beautiful. There is a Zen prayer I try to remember to chant every evening before bed. It's called an evening gatha--- "Life and death are of extreme importance, time passes by and opportunity is lost, each of us should awaken, take heed, do not squander your life" --Dogen

[charlescurtis]

I so appreciate this message. Follow your joy, be a deliberate creator. Stand back from mind and feel the universe flow through you, marvel at what is appearing. And use the appearance of what is, as a way to see where you are. Life is a gift in all its facets.

[lovelyliviamay]

I really enjoy the sound of your voice, it's so comforting to listen to. Your videos have brought me a small piece of a joy, as if I found something special, precious, and delicate. Your words, and thoughts, sharing them with all of us here, the way they've touched me personally, they're a comfort to the person I wish to be. The one that hides beneath the exterior others see, of this strong willed, busy, exhausted, and occasionally depressed mess. I've been working so hard internally for many years to find myself, and lacking the environment to thrive as the person who just wishes to be content with life itself, and the many wonders it offers. Just as I began to feel more exhausted and frustrated with the journey to get to where I want to be, I found your channel. It's been inspiring and comforting, watching your videos. I'm so grateful you're here, and for everything you've shared as you grow, and simply live. I hope you and your family are all doing well during this time. 💗🌷

Gorgeous images and message! "The complexity of life is what makes it beautiful" I quite agree!
