Being yourself is a battle of wills between you and your environment. As you are trying to be yourself, those around you want you to be who they envision
Believe me when I say this, please don't spend your youth while healthy worrying about everything, over thinking is the bane of the youthful mind and is more detrimental than anything. Revel in your youth, do the best you can and not the best you think you should have done by a particular point. But be healthy, drink little, smoke never, be thankful.
@@alicjakendzierskaActually I've just realised how great all your other videos are, you're a classical woman in the best sense of the word, a rare thing these days but a much needed thing 🙂 You're also an exceptional beauty and I don't say that as a pick up line because I'm a happily married man with 2 children but merely as a compliment. Keep the videos up, they're so nice. I've subbed to your channel 🙏
Im very shy and reserved, procrastinate. Suffer from social anxiety sometimes. I feel uncomfortable most times in crowds . I really hate vain, pompous people and try my best not to be around them. You have really beautiful eyes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hi Alicja, I’ve been reflecting on what you share in your videos, and in a way, I find many of your words resonating with me. Your view of life, with that sense of magic and the search for meaning, deeply moves me. Like you, I often find myself asking who I am and where I am going, and I realize that this search doesn’t always lead to clear answers, but it’s the journey itself that, in a way, keeps us alive. Your openness and vulnerability in sharing such intimate thoughts on a public platform like RUclips made me think a lot. Sometimes it feels like you’re exposing yourself in a way that might seem reckless, as if you’re putting a part of yourself out there without knowing who will see it or how it will be judged. Yet, perhaps it’s in this openness that your authenticity lies-the kind that makes us unique, but also fragile. In a world that often focuses on perfect images and masks, I think your sincerity in wanting to explore your emotions is a form of courage. It’s not easy, especially when we don’t know how people will react. Yet, if we think about the authentic connection we all long for, I believe this is exactly what you’re seeking: a way to be seen for who you truly are. At the same time, I can’t help but wonder if all of this is also a form of loneliness. You expose yourself to a vast and diverse audience, and perhaps you’re hoping to find answers to questions that often go unanswered, much like I’ve done for a long time. Your search for philosophical and reflective answers, though it doesn’t always seem to take us anywhere, is something I recognize in myself. I, too, often feel confused and overwhelmed, but I believe part of us feeds off these unanswered questions. It’s not easy, yet it’s part of the journey. I also wonder if, in doing this, you’re trying to emerge or simply to share. Perhaps there’s no specific goal, but rather an inner need to explore yourself and find people who can see beyond social labels and recognize vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness. Personally, I think that, even though social platforms may seem like a way to “emerge,” behind your online presence is likely a desire for human connection, a longing to feel that we are not alone in our journey. I, too, have tried to express what I feel without too many masks, but sometimes I wonder if it’s possible to find someone who can truly understand without judging, who sees the intentions behind the words and not just what is visible on the surface. Deep down, I think that, like you, I am searching for that authentic connection, even though, as you said, it’s hard to find. I admire you for your honesty and the courage to be yourself in a world that often rewards surface-level appearances. In some way, I believe we are searching for the same thing: understanding, connection, and perhaps a little bit of magic in finding people who can look beyond judgment. I hope you continue exploring and seeking answers, but above all, continue staying true to yourself, as I try to do, even though it’s not always easy. The search never ends, and sometimes the answer lies in the ability to keep looking, no matter what. Best, Alessandro
i feel like existing is a constant changing flow of perspectives, which if you're able to keep up by surrendering to any and every feeling and even going into the feeling fearlessly, you start to feel like you can love almost everything that you encounter
I am a person who loves thinking about reality, truth, most important values in life, philosophy (but in practical sense). This is why I feel extremely lonely, isolated, and almost never understood in many topics. I can see that there is almost nobody similar to me, but this is the reality. Still some joy of understanding it, discovering the truth about various topics brings a little joy into my life.
That was amazing. I can understand how you feel. It's hard to be yourself when you're going to feel judged or afraid that others might not like the real you. I usually portray myself as something different from others, but at home and mentally its a different side of me no one sees. Obviously, we want to be liked no matter what, but we want our true selves to be liked. I feel like if I showed my true self to others and they genuinely liked hanging out with me I would not be shy and hide, but it's hard. I feel like I can relate to you. I honestly was just thinking about this before this video was recommended to me.
I question the purpose of this reality we experience on a daily basis. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Am I doing well in life? More importantly am I good person? I'm a deep thinker and I often wonder why everyone isn't as deep as me. Why am I more conscious than other people? What does it all mean?
I resonate with most of those questions every single day too. It is actually really nice to see someone dealing with the same inquiries as it connects us as people. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I also make my home wherever I am! In fact, I'm from Poland but currently living in México. :-) Really love the thought you shared, speaks to me deeply. Thank you!
I'm surprised this doesn't have more views. I highly related to when Alicja said, "I want to meet a lot of people, but I also need to spend a lot of time alone."
I’m a human being, we all are, once I was a child I was born a gift. A gift that I would never give away or let go and it’s not my artistic ways, not my looks of my body nor face it’s… my heart. My heart is what drives me too the edge of being myself I’ve been an inspiration for everyone in my life as a man. Deep inside my evil counter park tells me I’m not good enough but I don’t listen to him anymore because I listen to MYSELF. My name is Dominic Acevedo, I’m 19 years old, I live in Florida, I’m a senior this year almost about to leave high school. And my dreams are to look deep into the night sky to watch the stars shine bright while I take a moment, a deep breath and say “ahhhh finally.. I finally did it, I’m finally free.”
I appreciate you sharing this. I do all those things you mentioned as well. we do have to find an identity, deep within ourselves. I believe that by first finding the identity, that is tied to life itself, is much better than to find the identity with a construct. I dislike it when people don't like their own skin, hair, and natural state of being. all these details are gifts to the external world, that show who we are. let us reconcile with life.
Personally, I feel like I've missed out on a lot and that the life I had envisioned never happened and slips away further with each passing day and the older I get. I always grew up with a passion for film and filmmaking. I walked around with a camera when I was only 4 years old, and taught myself to edit when I was 10. But the film school I went to was awful, and a major disappointment led me to lose my passion for filmmaking, and because of that I became depressed, and I feel like I've never fully recovered from that. I'm still doing things with film, I'm currently learning 3D software to do 3D animation, but the drive I had isn't what it used to be anymore, and I really hate that. I really let a lot of things go at the time to chase my passion, including friendships and relationships, something I was never good at as I was always socially awkward and shy (as I said in my other comment on your vid about loneliness). But, I'm still trying, and I'm not ready to give up, although this year has been insanely tough, dealing with death and a condition in my eye that I need monthly eye injections for. Atm, I feel like I just ''exist'' and getting out of bed can be difficult a lot of the days. I hope next year will be better, but I honestly don't even ''hope'' for anything anymore and just live each day as it passes. I'm not sure if this was the type of comment you wanted (it's a bit of a depressing rant, hehe), but I thought, why not share my thoughts anyway, as it's always nice to vent. Love your vids and you're doing a great job and I hope you get through your struggles as well, as you seem like a great, insightful and lovely person! It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like you do, so great job and thank you for sharing. ✌ PS: your channel is super underrated imo, but I'm sure you'll find the right audience and will blow up one day. Although, the fact that your channel is smaller does make it more real (if that makes sense).
Hello! first of all - thank you for your kind words and for connecting second of all - I did not want any specific kind of comment, so it makes this one perfect Your story is very moving and real. It's crazy how things can turn out for us, even though we are so passionate and hopeful. This what you wrote is special and could easily be a script for a really beautiful movie (this was my first deep thought after reading your comment). So maybe start there? You're the only one who feel it on the deepest levels, who knows all the little details that make the line so interesting and different. No one in this world has the same perspective as you. Human experience is so unique and if you still do have this passion for filmmaking, I would be very interested to see your picture in motion. Anyways, it was just something that came to my mind, that I wanted to share with you! Also, your words "I'm not ready to give up" shows how strong and brave you are to keep on struggling and still going through life in the best way you can at the moment. Genuinely, I will keep my fingers crossed for all that sits in you to turn out the best way, so you can experience life however you've imagined it. You're there, keep on going :-)
@@alicjakendzierska Thank you so much for your lovely reply and I'm glad you liked my comment (or rant, haha). It sure is crazy how things can turn out for us and it's always the least predictable thing. Not specifically about what I wrote about, but I've actually made an animated short film in the past about how I feel called 'Enemy of the Mind' that I've yet to release and only got a teaser for it online, ( not on this throwaway account, btw, haha), and I've made another short called ''Perpetual'' about how your life can feel stuck in a loop without any real progress. But making films, animation, videos, art, or music about your own experiences are indeed some of the most powerful stories out there and can really help yourself and others in the process. So it's great what you're doing with your channel. Thank you so much for the encouraging words at the end there as well, btw, and I hope you don't give up as well. On one hand, it can be scary not knowing what the future holds for you, but on the flip side, it can also bring you greatness, and that's what keeps me going and is a mind set I hope will inspire you as well to keep on going. ✌
Can't tell you anything about myself because I feel the same way as you described. I love to meet new people but I want to keep time to myself. I always feel and focus on the magical side of things. Not always crying but when I do, I cry a lot. I feel broken when I do that. Hearing your sound, I can see that you have many many potential in you. I believe we have to persevere on our feelings. Never turn away from hearth. Always feel and we will live that way. And flourish along. You don't have to be an extrovert to make an impact, that's just a relative point in today's world. Here I write to you and hopefully connect with you. Just keep your dreams alive so they could flourish. Hi Alicia :) Much love from a person, from a tiny point in this vast universe.
yess finally someone is talking about this, I'm a teen and whenever I'm going to a class everyone acts exactly the same, there's a popular girl she's really pretty, the other girls dress like her and acts like her, she also acts like the older girls i have no problem but i always feel like everyone is losing their personality, their scent, now teens follow trends fashion to the extreme point when if someone likes something the others don't, they judge. thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video i loved it so much!
Out of the hundreds of personality theories I have studied over the years, there is one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Ironically, it was by a Sociologost named Charles Cooley: 'I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am. The influence of others on one's psyche is very powerful. But it is mostly unconscious, while our conscious brain denies it! When we genuinely accept this we can moderate who we feel we want to be!
At my core I am just a person who is trying to leave a positive impact on anyone I meet. Be it through laughter, or a helping hand. I like to put in effort into making life easier for others, so that they keep smiling and brave through the tides of life.
You're very sweet for uploading this and I'm glad I got it recommended ❣ I don't have anything to share. Our journeys are all long and complex. All I can say is that I'm at a good, calm point in my life and I hope you and everyone else is, or will be, too.
Uhhhmmmm yeah... sooo Hi, I'm an overthinker and I cry often I mean I don't really cry but I get tears whenever I see something heartwarming or hurtful even if it's just on my phone... And I'm socially awkward, I'm possessive actually I'm really possessive coz I don't really have much luck when it gets to getting people close to myself and it's bcoz I'm an overthinker, an introvert... I like to vibe with myself... Just me and my songs and no one else...songs work as an escape for me, I also like singing... I'm not really close to my family except for my elder sister and yeah, I'm also an atheist (So if you don't wanna talk I get it, I get negative responses often)... Now coming to my productive side, I love upgrading myself... I wanna be a better person everyday so I try improving myself...sometimes I learn things, sometimes I waste my time. I don't really have much friends coz the people of my age aren't really productive and they are kinda just living their life for the sake of living... But I wanna have fun, I wanna be better... I kind of save myself for my future "the one" coz I love her (even though I think I haven't even met her)... I crave for love at times, I crave for attention.... Ik I have what it takes to be everything I wanna be... I wanna travel places, try everything I can, be a good person for the people who love me and Idk... I LOVE MYSELF! Idk if you're reading this but you're awesome, It takes courage to present yourself like you did... Dude you're just too cool, love your vibe... I needed a place to vent out....Thank you Peace!
I only really had three close friends in my Life since the earliest of days. Two left, one stayed. I dont want to meet people cause i always get hurt, my family largely doesn't understand me and many are dead i loved in my family, never met my father too. Iam depressed when iam not on work and doesnt get anything done at home and get hate on work, i have more people who hate me than love me. I love History and Mythology it was always my passion, but that is the reason most hate or dont like me i think, i dont think like others i dont do the things others do things that are "cool" etc. I want to be alone mostly but feel also lonely, i miss my Grandpa i like to wear his clothes too. Iam a sad person i would describe myself. I feel like my "best friend" was truly my Grandpa. Some sort of spirituality helped me a bit and sometimes gaming. I used to sit all day before my pc and play games, now i do it rarely, no fun anymore
I have often found myself scared to be emotionally naked like I was as a babe. Showing all of who I am in a fundamental blood, sweat and tears way. It’s been a long road of taking off layers of things that weren’t mine and I am beginning to feel an uncomfortable, yet holy nakedness. The only way to carry on is to truly receive the magical garment that was always meant for me. There’s no other way for me to make it in this now moment. Life has created a dynamic situation with potential for wild happenings of all kinds. Time to surrender. Time to trust. Time to listen. Time to jump. I’ve been feeling life so intensely lately and at times I feel absolutely crazy, but I know there is a stirring in me and around me that has a deeper purpose. I guess it’s time I just drown in love and let it breathe me. This is what came first to comment and for whoever’s reading this I hope you too will allow yourself to receive divine love, not only from others but most importantly from yourself. Godspeed you! ❤
There's only one life and it's very short and fast, so we've to live every single minute of it, sadness can't change anything. Happy life for everyone.
I’m exactly 👍 like her I don’t like being around people and prefer going through life alone with no girlfriend or wife I don’t want kids either just let me enjoy life alone
there's that one girl I keep trying to talk to and I keep acting like im not myself and just talk like I was not myself, talk about "oh yes x teacher is annoying", "x movie is nice". I just wish I could be normal with her, I relate to a lot of things she says but damn I just can't talk about myself deeply, feel like i'd scare her or be too much intimate it's really annoying you can never know if she trully likes you or just hangs with you because her friends aren't here. almost makes me wish to be able to read the mind of people or at least be able to see emotions trough someone's face lol anyway that's a nice vid ! I will be honest, I really thought this was some clickbaiting vid or something like that just want views and comments but you seem quite into it
I appreciate you, and your struggles. I dream. I used to write poetry. I am a photographer. I have photographed people, but I prefer images that step out and move the viewer. Images that show them something interesting, unique, or even beautiful they probably never even noticed in everyday things. I procrastinate. From issues in childhood, I have a tendency to self-sabotage at times. I have dealt with depression. Today, my path has taught me many things. I am still learning, still stubborn in learning sometimes. I have always loved to read and credit reading with preparing my mind and soul for the paths I have traveled and for coloring who I am now. I lived from the Sinai Desert in Egypt to the interior of Alaska compliments of the US Army. That was last century. I still love Alaska though I am far from there now. If I have any real regrets it is not traveling and exploring more in the places I have lived. I did journey some and have memories and stories. I just don't have as many as I could have or experienced those places as deeply as I could have. I have learned to appreciate what I have humble it may be. I have finally come to appreciate who I am, perhaps even like that person more. I spent much of my life dealing with hidden self-esteem issues. Hidden well with stoicism and more apparent confidence than I actually had. Any problems or lack of material success is my own fault. I own that. But, I do have memories and stories. If you don't have stories when you leave this life. Did you really live? I don't think so. Thank you for sharing you. Thank you for asking about who we really are. Asking to strip away the resume, examine ourselves, and be willing to expose that person. We are all amazing and we are all effed up. The secret is knowing and accepting that in ourselves.
The most precious and valuable gift lies inside of us, it like inner smile of inner sun ^) but to reveal its radiance we need to break through the layers of being human...every day of our life...We are so sensitive and confused of what we are, so longing to unity and loneliness, that its divide us in pieces... but make us whole in the same time... Welcome sister, to a new world of spiritual order ^) and disorder too... P.S. I would recommend,if you dont mind, one serial named " Sense 8" from Wachowski Sisters , about what awaits our worldwide connected souls in nearest future...
I have felt lost and ignorant about the meaning of my life and have tried to understand through experience, reading and education - obtaining doctoral degrees in both philosophy and psychology. I have found many answers, but I have come to believe that I will never know all of the answers. I believe that everything in the universe is deeply connected as described by Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh and Christian Monk Thomas Merton. Our family and friends offer us meaning. Good luck in your journey!
Connection is made from shared value. I seem to value understanding to an unnatural extent. More than advantage, more than comfort. Maybe not more than human connection though. This creates a dangerous trap: to connect with someone, I need a shared deep love of understanding. But once a connection is well made, I may shrink from deeper understanding when it puts the connection at risk. Yet that reluctance itself is a limit and a threat to the connection. Knowledge sustains; knowledge poisons.
Im broken, I cant find any purpose in this life, I dont know what to do. I just wanna drink and forget about everything. I think its because of my last relationship. I have lived for her and know without her I cant find what to do in my life
I hope you will find your way. I’m sure of it. The endings could crush us but they make us stronger in the end. I keep my fingers crossed for you! All the best!
It looks to me like you're trying to work out who you are in order to determine what you should do with your life and I think you've got it backwards. Find productive things you enjoy doing and do them. Don't just do them, develop them into a skill the people around you value. A strong sense of self comes from a strong sense of purpose. You seem to be very interested in people and connections and if you keep developing that, it can be a powerful skill which you can use to make peoples lives better.
Was about to write this! People in this comment section would have never commented, if it would be me making the exact same video with my ugly looks. 😂
I’m just waiting for the cold winter to change to the upcoming spring when we can return to our wonderful cabin and enjoy the spring, summer and fall weather. Good luck to you!
Good night (or any other daytime). It feels a bit strange to me - to accidentally stop on this video and see other human, not another dose of "information". Despite I'm russian and not so good in understanding english-speaking people, it was not so hard to understand. Maybe, If only we thought more about each other as people, ordinary people with own little joys, problems, wills, routine - our world will be more pleasant and peacefull place. Maybe not. In any case, I was glad to hear you and I wish you many good days ahead. Your doubts are familiar to me too. Sometimes I feel lack of self-confidence and uncertainty about the future, and often mask it under "pocker face", or humor, or even irony. Sometimes I sublime these feelings in writing poems and stories. It's really great to experience the moment of communication with another person, without paying attention to distance, conventions and the crazy world around us. Thank you and sorry for my poor english :)
I would love to meet you, you seem to have similar traits to me. I sometimes revisit times from my childhood in my mind when music plays - in the music class playing that song. I've always felt myself drawn to be on stages and performing. I've done some comedy/acting/spoken word, but find myself stuck in an office job. It's easy but barely fulfilling. Most people seem to have completely they wrong impression of me. I'm really sensitive, a bit scared. I thought I'd met my love earlier this year, but soon realised she had some demons which were creating a dangerous cycle. It was so disappointing, I take some responsibility of course as I allowed a lot of her behaviour to continue - even forgiving cheating. Still, it felt like a setback at the time. Maybe I'll figure it all out some day, but I feel like most of us don't. Appreciating the ride is challenging as well, no matter how many self help books say otherwise. But I do stand by the fact I'd very much like to communicate with you in some way - be it on Zoom or whatever. I feel like your vid only scratches the surface of your thoughts.
Hi, my name is Zufar. I was born in Russia, but since 2010 I have been living in Ukraine and even obtained citizenship. In February 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine, destroying more and more peaceful cities under the pretext of ‘liberation’. Our government did not give us a choice and closed the borders. Now, men aged 18 to 59 cannot leave the country with their families to seek safety. Due to constant stress, I lost my family. Now I live alone and feel very lonely. There is so much cruelty in our world... I just want to live and enjoy life. Since the beginning of November 2024, I have been learning English. I have set a goal for myself: to understand and speak English within a year.
I is not stewped. XD Damn Baby Sister coming from somebody over twice your age...You seem to have your sh*t nailed down tighter than most. Oh and you're to young to know this yet but,.... The reason you cry everyday is because you your parents raised a decent human being with a caring heart. May the forces that be in this world guild and protect you all your days and may those days be as many as the stars in the heavens. Like Bob Marley sang, Baby Sister.... "One Love".
Jesus is the Truth. Hell is real. We all sin. He died on the cross to pay for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day. Put your faith in Him alone to save you, trust in what He did for you.
Wow ! Your such a deep girl - wish I could of met you when I was younger but am 55 so doubt you’d ever consider trying to connect with me - such a shame 🥲

Hi Alicja,
I’ve been reflecting on what you share in your videos, and in a way, I find many of your words resonating with me. Your view of life, with that sense of magic and the search for meaning, deeply moves me. Like you, I often find myself asking who I am and where I am going, and I realize that this search doesn’t always lead to clear answers, but it’s the journey itself that, in a way, keeps us alive.

It’s not easy, especially when we don’t know how people will react. Yet, if we think about the authentic connection we all long for, I believe this is exactly what you’re seeking: a way to be seen for who you truly are.
At the same time, I can’t help but wonder if all of this is also a form of loneliness.

i feel like existing is a constant changing flow of perspectives, which if you're able to keep up by surrendering to any and every feeling and even going into the feeling fearlessly, you start to feel like you can love almost everything that you encounter
I am a person who loves thinking about reality, truth, most important values in life, philosophy (but in practical sense). This is why I feel extremely lonely, isolated, and almost never understood in many topics. I can see that there is almost nobody similar to me, but this is the reality. Still some joy of understanding it, discovering the truth about various topics brings a little joy into my life.
I've never seen a better explanation of how im feeling lately. Thank you.
Maybe we can make a litle comunity, like a ltile tribe that talk about this
Your eyes, your brows, your hair, your whole face is so pretty. You are just plain charming
That was amazing. I can understand how you feel. It's hard to be yourself when you're going to feel judged or afraid that others might not like the real you. I usually portray myself as something different from others, but at home and mentally its a different side of me no one sees. Obviously, we want to be liked no matter what, but we want our true selves to be liked. I feel like if I showed my true self to others and they genuinely liked hanging out with me I would not be shy and hide, but it's hard. I feel like I can relate to you. I honestly was just thinking about this before this video was recommended to me.
@@elizabethcapulinduran8459 thank you so much for sharing!!!
Being surrounded by people yet feeling so lonely both fascinates yet torments me every day.
Thanks for making this video. It’s refreshing to connect
I question the purpose of this reality we experience on a daily basis. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Am I doing well in life? More importantly am I good person? I'm a deep thinker and I often wonder why everyone isn't as deep as me. Why am I more conscious than other people? What does it all mean?
I resonate with most of those questions every single day too. It is actually really nice to see someone dealing with the same inquiries as it connects us as people. Thank you so much for sharing!!
bro she so pretty
I make my home wherever I am. Texan living in Boston traveling all parts Earth playing saxophone. "...not all those who wander are lost."
I also make my home wherever I am! In fact, I'm from Poland but currently living in México. :-)
Really love the thought you shared, speaks to me deeply.
Thank you!
Cry is good and healthy. It means that You are "near" Yourself. I cry often of happiness! Mostly because - I am here NOW!
I'm surprised this doesn't have more views.
I highly related to when Alicja said, "I want to meet a lot of people, but I also need to spend a lot of time alone."
I’m a human being, we all are, once I was a child I was born a gift. A gift that I would never give away or let go and it’s not my artistic ways, not my looks of my body nor face it’s… my heart. My heart is what drives me too the edge of being myself I’ve been an inspiration for everyone in my life as a man.
Deep inside my evil counter park tells me I’m not good enough but I don’t listen to him anymore because I listen to MYSELF. My name is Dominic Acevedo, I’m 19 years old, I live in Florida, I’m a senior this year almost about to leave high school.
And my dreams are to look deep into the night sky to watch the stars shine bright while I take a moment, a deep breath and say “ahhhh finally.. I finally did it, I’m finally free.”
I appreciate you sharing this. I do all those things you mentioned as well. we do have to find an identity, deep within ourselves. I believe that by first finding the identity, that is tied to life itself, is much better than to find the identity with a construct. I dislike it when people don't like their own skin, hair, and natural state of being. all these details are gifts to the external world, that show who we are. let us reconcile with life.
Personally, I feel like I've missed out on a lot and that the life I had envisioned never happened and slips away further with each passing day and the older I get. I always grew up with a passion for film and filmmaking. I walked around with a camera when I was only 4 years old, and taught myself to edit when I was 10. But the film school I went to was awful, and a major disappointment led me to lose my passion for filmmaking, and because of that I became depressed, and I feel like I've never fully recovered from that. I'm still doing things with film, I'm currently learning 3D software to do 3D animation, but the drive I had isn't what it used to be anymore, and I really hate that. I really let a lot of things go at the time to chase my passion, including friendships and relationships, something I was never good at as I was always socially awkward and shy (as I said in my other comment on your vid about loneliness). But, I'm still trying, and I'm not ready to give up, although this year has been insanely tough, dealing with death and a condition in my eye that I need monthly eye injections for. Atm, I feel like I just ''exist'' and getting out of bed can be difficult a lot of the days. I hope next year will be better, but I honestly don't even ''hope'' for anything anymore and just live each day as it passes.
I'm not sure if this was the type of comment you wanted (it's a bit of a depressing rant, hehe), but I thought, why not share my thoughts anyway, as it's always nice to vent. Love your vids and you're doing a great job and I hope you get through your struggles as well, as you seem like a great, insightful and lovely person! It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like you do, so great job and thank you for sharing. ✌
PS: your channel is super underrated imo, but I'm sure you'll find the right audience and will blow up one day. Although, the fact that your channel is smaller does make it more real (if that makes sense).
Hello!
first of all - thank you for your kind words and for connecting
second of all - I did not want any specific kind of comment, so it makes this one perfect
Your story is very moving and real. It's crazy how things can turn out for us, even though we are so passionate and hopeful. This what you wrote is special and could easily be a script for a really beautiful movie (this was my first deep thought after reading your comment). So maybe start there? You're the only one who feel it on the deepest levels, who knows all the little details that make the line so interesting and different. No one in this world has the same perspective as you. Human experience is so unique and if you still do have this passion for filmmaking, I would be very interested to see your picture in motion.
Anyways, it was just something that came to my mind, that I wanted to share with you!
Also, your words "I'm not ready to give up" shows how strong and brave you are to keep on struggling and still going through life in the best way you can at the moment. Genuinely, I will keep my fingers crossed for all that sits in you to turn out the best way, so you can experience life however you've imagined it.
You're there, keep on going :-)
@@alicjakendzierska Thank you so much for your lovely reply and I'm glad you liked my comment (or rant, haha). It sure is crazy how things can turn out for us and it's always the least predictable thing. Not specifically about what I wrote about, but I've actually made an animated short film in the past about how I feel called 'Enemy of the Mind' that I've yet to release and only got a teaser for it online, ( not on this throwaway account, btw, haha), and I've made another short called ''Perpetual'' about how your life can feel stuck in a loop without any real progress. But making films, animation, videos, art, or music about your own experiences are indeed some of the most powerful stories out there and can really help yourself and others in the process. So it's great what you're doing with your channel.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words at the end there as well, btw, and I hope you don't give up as well. On one hand, it can be scary not knowing what the future holds for you, but on the flip side, it can also bring you greatness, and that's what keeps me going and is a mind set I hope will inspire you as well to keep on going. ✌
You're soo pretty and humble
Thanks for u existence 💫🙏

I love being a man ! I love dreaming too and sleeping, of course ! We can connect with everything...
Can't tell you anything about myself because I feel the same way as you described.
I love to meet new people but I want to keep time to myself. I always feel and focus on the magical side of things. Not always crying but when I do, I cry a lot. I feel broken when I do that. Hearing your sound, I can see that you have many many potential in you. I believe we have to persevere on our feelings. Never turn away from hearth. Always feel and we will live that way. And flourish along. You don't have to be an extrovert to make an impact, that's just a relative point in today's world. Here I write to you and hopefully connect with you. Just keep your dreams alive so they could flourish.
Hi Alicia :) Much love from a person, from a tiny point in this vast universe.
yess finally someone is talking about this, I'm a teen and whenever I'm going to a class everyone acts exactly the same, there's a popular girl she's really pretty, the other girls dress like her and acts like her, she also acts like the older girls i have no problem but i always feel like everyone is losing their personality, their scent, now teens follow trends fashion to the extreme point when if someone likes something the others don't, they judge. thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video i loved it so much!
Out of the hundreds of personality theories I have studied over the years, there is one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Ironically, it was by a Sociologost named Charles Cooley:
'I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am. The influence of others on one's psyche is very powerful. But it is mostly unconscious, while our conscious brain denies it! When we genuinely accept this we can moderate who we feel we want to be!
At my core I am just a person who is trying to leave a positive impact on anyone I meet. Be it through laughter, or a helping hand. I like to put in effort into making life easier for others, so that they keep smiling and brave through the tides of life.
Thank you for being this way! It's a beautiful life that you're leading :-)
I want to live forever and allowing for temporary setbacks, always become more.
I love being myself I have been doing it since I was little I was never into the fashion trend I wore what I wanted to wear
I am a concious being who is observing a world where one of the possible phenomena is questioning the reason it came into being.
You're very sweet for uploading this and I'm glad I got it recommended ❣
I don't have anything to share. Our journeys are all long and complex. All I can say is that I'm at a good, calm point in my life and I hope you and everyone else is, or will be, too.
Uhhhmmmm yeah... sooo Hi, I'm an overthinker and I cry often I mean I don't really cry but I get tears whenever I see something heartwarming or hurtful even if it's just on my phone... And I'm socially awkward, I'm possessive actually I'm really possessive coz I don't really have much luck when it gets to getting people close to myself and it's bcoz I'm an overthinker, an introvert... I like to vibe with myself... Just me and my songs and no one else...songs work as an escape for me, I also like singing... I'm not really close to my family except for my elder sister and yeah, I'm also an atheist (So if you don't wanna talk I get it, I get negative responses often)... Now coming to my productive side, I love upgrading myself... I wanna be a better person everyday so I try improving myself...sometimes I learn things, sometimes I waste my time. I don't really have much friends coz the people of my age aren't really productive and they are kinda just living their life for the sake of living... But I wanna have fun, I wanna be better... I kind of save myself for my future "the one" coz I love her (even though I think I haven't even met her)... I crave for love at times, I crave for attention.... Ik I have what it takes to be everything I wanna be... I wanna travel places, try everything I can, be a good person for the people who love me and Idk... I LOVE MYSELF!
Idk if you're reading this but you're awesome, It takes courage to present yourself like you did... Dude you're just too cool, love your vibe... I needed a place to vent out....Thank you
Peace!
I only really had three close friends in my Life since the earliest of days. Two left, one stayed. I dont want to meet people cause i always get hurt, my family largely doesn't understand me and many are dead i loved in my family, never met my father too. Iam depressed when iam not on work and doesnt get anything done at home and get hate on work, i have more people who hate me than love me. I love History and Mythology it was always my passion, but that is the reason most hate or dont like me i think, i dont think like others i dont do the things others do things that are "cool" etc. I want to be alone mostly but feel also lonely, i miss my Grandpa i like to wear his clothes too. Iam a sad person i would describe myself. I feel like my "best friend" was truly my Grandpa. Some sort of spirituality helped me a bit and sometimes gaming. I used to sit all day before my pc and play games, now i do it rarely, no fun anymore
Random stranger.
I don't know you, but thank you for this little peace of personality and charm of your heath warming speech.
I have often found myself scared to be emotionally naked like I was as a babe. Showing all of who I am in a fundamental blood, sweat and tears way. It’s been a long road of taking off layers of things that weren’t mine and I am beginning to feel an uncomfortable, yet holy nakedness. The only way to carry on is to truly receive the magical garment that was always meant for me. There’s no other way for me to make it in this now moment. Life has created a dynamic situation with potential for wild happenings of all kinds. Time to surrender. Time to trust. Time to listen. Time to jump. I’ve been feeling life so intensely lately and at times I feel absolutely crazy, but I know there is a stirring in me and around me that has a deeper purpose. I guess it’s time I just drown in love and let it breathe me. This is what came first to comment and for whoever’s reading this I hope you too will allow yourself to receive divine love, not only from others but most importantly from yourself. Godspeed you! ❤
such an inspiring comment!! thank you so much for sharing:))
@@alicjakendzierskayou’re so welcome! Thank you for the invitation. I felt inspired in the moment.
this is a real video. I barely find videos I could relate to.
There's only one life and it's very short and fast, so we've to live every single minute of it, sadness can't change anything.
Happy life for everyone.
I’m exactly 👍 like her I don’t like being around people and prefer going through life alone with no girlfriend or wife I don’t want kids either just let me enjoy life alone
there's that one girl I keep trying to talk to and I keep acting like im not myself and just talk like I was not myself, talk about "oh yes x teacher is annoying", "x movie is nice". I just wish I could be normal with her, I relate to a lot of things she says but damn I just can't talk about myself deeply, feel like i'd scare her or be too much intimate it's really annoying you can never know if she trully likes you or just hangs with you because her friends aren't here. almost makes me wish to be able to read the mind of people or at least be able to see emotions trough someone's face lol
anyway that's a nice vid !
I will be honest, I really thought this was some clickbaiting vid or something like that just want views and comments but you seem quite into it
that's a damn model right there! i'm a true introvert. people are overrated, i connect better with dogs and other animals.
Thankyou for sharing, I can relate to much of what you say. Keep posting
I appreciate you, and your struggles. I dream. I used to write poetry. I am a photographer. I have photographed people, but I prefer images that step out and move the viewer. Images that show them something interesting, unique, or even beautiful they probably never even noticed in everyday things. I procrastinate. From issues in childhood, I have a tendency to self-sabotage at times. I have dealt with depression. Today, my path has taught me many things. I am still learning, still stubborn in learning sometimes. I have always loved to read and credit reading with preparing my mind and soul for the paths I have traveled and for coloring who I am now. I lived from the Sinai Desert in Egypt to the interior of Alaska compliments of the US Army. That was last century. I still love Alaska though I am far from there now. If I have any real regrets it is not traveling and exploring more in the places I have lived. I did journey some and have memories and stories. I just don't have as many as I could have or experienced those places as deeply as I could have. I have learned to appreciate what I have humble it may be. I have finally come to appreciate who I am, perhaps even like that person more. I spent much of my life dealing with hidden self-esteem issues. Hidden well with stoicism and more apparent confidence than I actually had. Any problems or lack of material success is my own fault. I own that. But, I do have memories and stories. If you don't have stories when you leave this life. Did you really live? I don't think so.
Thank you for sharing you. Thank you for asking about who we really are. Asking to strip away the resume, examine ourselves, and be willing to expose that person. We are all amazing and we are all effed up. The secret is knowing and accepting that in ourselves.
The most precious and valuable gift lies inside of us, it like inner smile of inner sun ^) but to reveal its radiance we need to break through the layers of being human...every day of our life...We are so sensitive and confused of what we are, so longing to unity and loneliness, that its divide us in pieces... but make us whole in the same time... Welcome sister, to a new world of spiritual order ^) and disorder too...
P.S. I would recommend,if you dont mind, one serial named " Sense 8" from Wachowski Sisters , about what awaits our worldwide connected souls in nearest future...
I have felt lost and ignorant about the meaning of my life and have tried to understand through experience, reading and education - obtaining doctoral degrees in both philosophy and psychology. I have found many answers, but I have come to believe that I will never know all of the answers. I believe that everything in the universe is deeply connected as described by Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh and Christian Monk Thomas Merton. Our family and friends offer us meaning. Good luck in your journey!
What beautiful little soul ❤
Connection is made from shared value. I seem to value understanding to an unnatural extent. More than advantage, more than comfort. Maybe not more than human connection though. This creates a dangerous trap: to connect with someone, I need a shared deep love of understanding. But once a connection is well made, I may shrink from deeper understanding when it puts the connection at risk. Yet that reluctance itself is a limit and a threat to the connection. Knowledge sustains; knowledge poisons.
Im broken, I cant find any purpose in this life, I dont know what to do. I just wanna drink and forget about everything. I think its because of my last relationship. I have lived for her and know without her I cant find what to do in my life
I hope you will find your way. I’m sure of it. The endings could crush us but they make us stronger in the end. I keep my fingers crossed for you! All the best!
I really thought she about to dance first 10 sec in the vid idk why im sorry😂
i loose myself in religion. long time i spent to restore, and return. to myself.
I went through depression and burnout
You are enchanting ❤
It looks to me like you're trying to work out who you are in order to determine what you should do with your life and I think you've got it backwards.
Find productive things you enjoy doing and do them. Don't just do them, develop them into a skill the people around you value. A strong sense of self comes from a strong sense of purpose.
You seem to be very interested in people and connections and if you keep developing that, it can be a powerful skill which you can use to make peoples lives better.
I like your philosophy and it surely gives me a lot to think about.
Thank you for sharing!

Well, you are quite like me.. 😊
But please don't cry, everything will be fine!
Its like it's almost too easy to be yourself when you're a smokin hot women in the first world.
Who knew.
True!
Was about to write this! People in this comment section would have never commented, if it would be me making the exact same video with my ugly looks. 😂
Exactly. She's delusional.
@@KynemonDon't put yourself down
This is beautiful. 👍very nice video
Thank you!
i like to dream too....
I’m just waiting for the cold winter to change to the upcoming spring when we can return to our wonderful cabin and enjoy the spring, summer and fall weather. Good luck to you!
Ugh, me too, girlfriend. Me too.
Jest jak jest, ale nie wolno sie poddawac :3
Oczywiście, że tak!! :-)
Good , something positive from you !!!
Loves your blue eyes!
Good night (or any other daytime). It feels a bit strange to me - to accidentally stop on this video and see other human, not another dose of "information". Despite I'm russian and not so good in understanding english-speaking people, it was not so hard to understand. Maybe, If only we thought more about each other as people, ordinary people with own little joys, problems, wills, routine - our world will be more pleasant and peacefull place. Maybe not. In any case, I was glad to hear you and I wish you many good days ahead. Your doubts are familiar to me too. Sometimes I feel lack of self-confidence and uncertainty about the future, and often mask it under "pocker face", or humor, or even irony. Sometimes I sublime these feelings in writing poems and stories. It's really great to experience the moment of communication with another person, without paying attention to distance, conventions and the crazy world around us.
Thank you and sorry for my poor english :)
You are so pretty
I would love to meet you, you seem to have similar traits to me.
I sometimes revisit times from my childhood in my mind when music plays - in the music class playing that song. I've always felt myself drawn to be on stages and performing. I've done some comedy/acting/spoken word, but find myself stuck in an office job. It's easy but barely fulfilling.
Most people seem to have completely they wrong impression of me. I'm really sensitive, a bit scared. I thought I'd met my love earlier this year, but soon realised she had some demons which were creating a dangerous cycle. It was so disappointing, I take some responsibility of course as I allowed a lot of her behaviour to continue - even forgiving cheating.
Still, it felt like a setback at the time.
Maybe I'll figure it all out some day, but I feel like most of us don't. Appreciating the ride is challenging as well, no matter how many self help books say otherwise.
But I do stand by the fact I'd very much like to communicate with you in some way - be it on Zoom or whatever. I feel like your vid only scratches the surface of your thoughts.
Hi, my name is Zufar. I was born in Russia, but since 2010 I have been living in Ukraine and even obtained citizenship.
In February 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine, destroying more and more peaceful cities under the pretext of ‘liberation’. Our government did not give us a choice and closed the borders. Now, men aged 18 to 59 cannot leave the country with their families to seek safety.
Due to constant stress, I lost my family. Now I live alone and feel very lonely. There is so much cruelty in our world... I just want to live and enjoy life.
Since the beginning of November 2024, I have been learning English. I have set a goal for myself: to understand and speak English within a year.
Title of the video: "magic of being yourself."
Also: "Hello, I'm Alicja, I wear my grandpa's clothes."
Me gusta tu color de cabello
Are You from Poland? 🤔🇵🇱
Yes!:)
I is not stewped.
XD
Damn Baby Sister coming from somebody over twice your age...You seem to have your sh*t nailed down tighter than most.
Oh and you're to young to know this yet but,....
The reason you cry everyday is because you your parents raised a decent human being with a caring heart.
May the forces that be in this world guild and protect you all your days and may those days be as many as the stars in the heavens.
Like Bob Marley sang, Baby Sister....
"One Love".

Jesus is the Truth. Hell is real. We all sin. He died on the cross to pay for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day. Put your faith in Him alone to save you, trust in what He did for you.

You have the potential to live life on tutorial mode but you already knew that :)
You are not that special girl chill 🥶
Please tell me you are sincere?
cry me a river LOL wtf if this cringe
Oleg had one leg, and he left beastly comments.
Wow ! Your such a deep girl - wish I could of met you when I was younger but am 55 so doubt you’d ever consider trying to connect with me - such a shame 🥲
Beautiful eyes
