I came here from TikTok, so glad I saw your post. This video was really interesting and insightful thank you

[@joely4033]

you've done a great job of collecting stories from every kind of person.

Steven’s story is so impactful, I’m so glad he has the outlook on life that he does. “I’m rich in history” is one of the most thought provoking things I think I’ve heard coming from someone who has experienced so much hardship and unfortunate events during his life.
This was a nice portrait/video! Thank you

In junior year of high school, i lost my best friend since kindergarten in a car accident. 7 years later i still sometimes cry randomly thinking about it. his story about his daughter got to me. thank you for sharing these videos ❤

[@azazel0247]

very underrated channel

[@edulehtinen2767]

What an incredible storyteller and overall incredible human. The story about his daughter broke my heart 😢.

[@justice413]

Yeah mann it made my heart sink

[@EthanGrahamMusic]

The work you make is special, don’t stop

[@braedonmarsh1101]

That was truly a heartbreaking, yet beautiful story. It will certainly give me lots to think about. Thanks for doing what you're doing!

[@Eustass_Kidd]

An amazing individual to find. And an amazing flim about him

[@camdenerik]

as someone who’s had a pretty fucked up go at life, been on my own since i turned 18 (22 now), and dealing with some of the worst mental health conditions you could think of while being virtually 100% alone in it, these videos give me a perspective into the present of people who have gone through the same or a lot worse than myself and somehow are still chillin. These videos just tell me “it’s alright man”. They help ground the soul and let the mind refresh. Good shit, thank you.

[@oliwier1927]

Overall everything he been through, he’s lucky. He experienced almost everything life has to offer.
Keep up the good work, glad to be here so early;)

I had an idea to do something like this a while back. I think there is something so incredibly beautiful about each and every humans experience, and we often lose the chance to see that in society today. This was amazing and thank you for taking the time to show these stories to the world.
