For those waiting for life to happen

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

This quote from Vivian Greene is now a tattoo on my body and soul - "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning how to dance in the rain."

"And even if we fail, what better way is there to live?"

Emphasis on that part! ❤

At 79, I can safely say Life has indeed happened. I’ve always said I have had a truly charmed life. Photography has been an important part of my life, now exploring video. Keeps the brain warm, you know? And, I’m still hoping life continues to happen. For you too!

This made me cry.

I love people who have the courage to express their creativity.

"Learn to be happy even if things aren't perfect." Best advise I have given to myself and now I want to share it with you all. Thank you for this video.

This is some Hollywood blockbuster level quality. Script, cinematography and even sound is beyond impressive. This ‘twenty-something-year-old Filipino girl from Canada’ simply swallowed all “filmmakers” from this platform with a 4 minute video. Amazing! I can see a great future filmmaker coming. Thanks for this MASTERPIECE, 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.

This can't be a coincidence. Today was my last day at my job and I came home feeling so empty. I went on YouTube and this was the first thing that was recommended to me. Thank you!

This video was recommended to me 2 years after it was made and can I just say this is one of the most genuinely inspiring and well meant and positively influential pieces of media I’ve seen. Thank you for your art :)

I'm actually a very stubborn person. I'm afraid of failure; applying for that internship; not reaching my dream goals; not being able to do things I know I can do. 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. Me not asking for help, thinking I can so this on my own has stopped me from growing. But then I stumbled on this video. This quote. "But even if we fail, what better way is there to live?" Thank you for this.

I'm a 34 year old grown ass man, father and husband. Accidentally stumbled upon this video at work while watching videos related to this new career path I've been pursuing and studying for. I've been feeling burnt out lately and this video and your channel was exactly what I needed. I legit started tearing up at work while watching/listening to this. Thank you 🙏🏼

I’m pretty introvert, often negative, and I’ve been waiting around 35 years for "life to happen", sometimes thinking that movies can come true (they rarely do) and I’ve recently taken some babysteps to do my own thing, but I honestly have to say that this randomly found video was an immense push for my barely positive mindset. Thank you.

I can see why this did so well. She's an excellent story teller. It felt so genuine and authentic. Each shot carefully planned and executed with wonderful natural light and composition. Lot of people think you need a big budget or expensive gear to do story telling. But this right here shows you it only takes the will to do it. And the talent to know what looks good to tell a great story. Loved this. I'm inspired.

Fellow Filipino here I'm a 32 year old man having a hard time being accepted for a job and because of that i keep doubting myself if it's too late for me to change my life or just give up. Thank you for this video i should stop being a coward and expect less.

Two years late, but this video made me burst into tears. I just wanna say thank you, I think I'll come back often to watch this and hear your words again and again, 'cause they touched my heart and made me realize how many things and feelings and experiences I'm missing out there... what a journey is life and how much we hold ourselves back because of fear...

This reminds me of "Life is something which happens when you are busy making other plans." We plan and plan, take inspiration from movies but we never take action and ask the really important stuff.
