Send me the love letter you never sent: 1872 Lexington Ave 143 New York, NY 10035 (This is an ongoing project with no deadline, so yes, you can still send a letter even if you're watching this episode months later 💕)
Hi thoraya. Thank you for inspiring me to write a love letter to my former one that got away. It was a long time coming. I really hope you can feature it on one of your videos so he can maybe see it one day. I love your positive content thank you so much for all the hard work you do. You’re amazing at changing lives
@@Lisa-welder1 I appreciate the kind words. It was a long time coming but it was for sure a good bye to this individual and wishing him well for whatever life throws at him. I hope he stays a good person from the time I met and fell head over heels for me. Even if it wasn’t meant to be I’m grateful I met a man with such genuine kindness
The way Thoraya effortlessly captures just how profoundly beautiful yet heartbreaking the human experience can be in all her projects is such a God given gift that very few people can replicate.
Im 51. The last day i was with my love, i was 24. I still think about her first every morning. I check Facebook once a week to see if she is on there. I haven't seen an image on there for 15 years, yet i can see her in my mind as clear as if i only saw you yesterday. I wonder if she's alive or not. I will never see you again, yet i can still hear your voice and even smell your perfume and the smell of your skin. I can only wonder if she thinks of me, but i doubt it as i am visible on Facebook and have heard nothing all these years. I miss her so much every day and im sure she will be my last thought before i die. You were everything to me, Leanne.
Sometimes finding the one who got away is worth it. I hope god blesses u two and maybe u two will be together again. I’m not sure if it’s true u can fall in love again with someone new. All I can say is the first love is very genuine and can never replace the same as a new person
Was in the same boat and decided that I just had to find out.... when I got there I was told she'd died a month before.... no help to you I know but may make up your mind.
it is something I have always questioned with english, and how limited it is to express these two distinct things. in my mother tongue we have two different words to express when you ARE an adjective as part of your personality and when you are just feeling that momentarily. SER x ESTAR in Portuguese.
Marcin's story about not having food really touched me. I'm a mom of six, and my oldest just started college this past August. I'm struggling financially, and even after financial aid, my daughter can't afford much of a meal plan. It breaks my heart to think of her not having enough food to eat. I do what I can each day to come up with at least five dollars to send her through PayPal. As a parent, you just want to make sure your "baby" is okay. I'm praying that Marcin, and every other person struggling, never goes without their daily bread. New sub here. Loving your channel!
How do you love someone you’ve never met, but Thoraya I love you, your beautiful spirit, your beautiful soul, I’m a mama to a 39 year man, but if I had a daughter, id want her to be just like you!!
@@ORGANICsoulJAZZ she has a beautiful soul but I think they would scratch their heads when it comes to love because it's so complex so many directions so many colors so many stories.. or maybe they would just kick each other in the ass because they wouldn't want to put each other through all that laugh my ass off😛😛😛
her channel and the random people that appear in the videos are the closest thing to real humanity in youtube, not making videos for money, not people acting for likes, people being honest for no other reason than to share a soul to soul connection.
@@hippychick420I recommend you read ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill. It approaches money from a spiritual/metaphysical perspective. You’ll realize that money is simply another form of transmuted energy that amplifies what already exists within. This whole belief that money is evil will just keep you broke and render you helpless when you need it to improve your life and the lives of those you love. I once met a hippie guy who had the same closed minded opinion as you, and then he became a father and his son had to grow up in scarcity because of his parents’ ideology. Don’t be like that guy.
How did Thoraya get so damn wise at such an early age?? I think she must have lived many, many lives before. I hope she stays on this earth for a great many years. ❤
The "I found him, I found him" feeling only came to me once. Then we finally got together 5years later. Things were great until they weren't.... this year he ended up being super abusive. That's when I realized he was putting up a front just to get me. He was telling all manner of lies and he showed his true colours. I finally left this August. 💔 Only a few people believed the abuse because he's a 'good' person in public. Proper psychopath in private.😢 So yes, sometimes life does happen just like Thoraya's story, other times IDIOTS happen instead 😢
I'm so sorry ❤Glad that you got out of that relationship. I hope you'll find sb that is going to reflect the love that you show in the most beautiful ways.
Well done for leaving. Leaving is so hard. Not being believed is so hard. Wishing you all the very best and when memories plague you - remember: leaving is hard. And it can take a lot of time to get to the point where you can draw the line. But you did it!
ALL I DO IS CRY ON THIS CHANNEL! These people's thoughts feelings make me yearn and ache for what I don't have and what I don't have. I love to hear these things.
15:50 "I don't want this to be a letter of what was but rather of what is now and what is to come..." THIS! Value it now, NOT when it is gone... 18:14 Thoraya doing the itinerary that was thought and prepared with so much love, as you can on the card. You honored the sender's heart doing that. Thank you.
That guy at the coffee shop is fantastic! I'm 42 and today, me and my wife are celebrating 13 years together. I just came to her, kissed her and said that we are so lucky to have found love and we should stop the small little arguments. Guys, trust me on this: if you have a healthy relationship, most arguments you will have with your partner will be little and pointless, so just stop and don't make these little things turn into big thing that can ruin your relationship.
LETTER TO MY UNKNOWN LOVE: I’ve tried to write this letter so many times. I’ve always been good with these things but for some reason I can’t seem to put my thoughts together. I love letters! I love the fact that back in the days people used to write love letters. Someone once told me that love letters were written just so two people could get a little closer by touching the same piece of paper, even when they were oceans away from each other. How beautiful is that?! I often think about the love of my life. My soulmate. I will be absolutely devastated and heartbroken if I never get the chance to meet him. I like to look at life as a box full of surprises and possibilities, I think it’s what makes it so magical. That being said, I wonder how i’ll meet him. Maybe I’ll bump into him in a grocery store or maybe we’ll find each other’s eyes in a crowded place somewhere. I have no idea. I just desperately long for the day I will see him for the first time, as if I was made just to live in that split of second. I wonder: what is he doing now? where does he live? do we speak the same language? do we listen to the same music? does he feel the same about meeting me? has he ever been in love before? when will we finally cross paths? Isn’t it crazy that he is out there right now? why is the world so big? I’d sail the seven seas to meet him if i could. If only i knew where he is -but this rush of meeting him would only make the magic of it all just fade away. maybe I’m talking nonsense, but i can feel the love. I feel it in my bones. My heart knows him since day one, even though my eyes haven’t seen him yet. I’m looking forward to a random monday night in a few years from now, when we’re just dancing in a silly way to “Tennessee Whiskey” in our kitchen after dinner. I’m sure I’m gonna think to myself: this is it! this is love! I found him. And then all the waiting will make sense. All the times I chose to go left instead of right, all the times I decided to sleep in for five more minutes, all the times I said “yes” instead of “no”… all the tiny choices I’ve made throughout my life that led me to him, it will all come together to a place where I was meant to be. The right place at the right time -and my heart will no longer be half empty. But until then, I’m here. I’m writing a letter that might never be read. I’m writing a letter and I haven’t met the person to receive it yet. I’m thinking about the millions of meetings and disagreements that happen every single day around the world, about the millions of passing souls in search of something eternal, something that makes sense. I’m thinking about the millions of hopeful hearts searching for true love in the “coincidences”. I’m thinking about the strangers that cross paths with us and somehow never leave our memories, but will never be anything else than just strangers. But above all, I’m thinking that I will always wait for my soulmate, because the single thought of meeting him - the love of my life, 1 in 8 billion people and trillions of different possibilities- is the song my heart has always beaten to. Sincerely, Nicole.
#6. It sounds like a conversation between my inner dialogue. From Me to Me. It is about depression, neglecting my needs/myself care, not treating myself well. The other part takes and never gives back any love. There is no love left to feel within myself. My mental illnesses + physical disabilities cause me so much pain every day. So much so that I am trying not to resort to my own history of self-abuse in order to distract myself and punish myself. The only self-love I know is pain, whether I do it or I do it (brain and physical pain). I have no support network, and all of my family that was semi-local is dead. I'm not sure if they would help with affection, either, since they didn't show much at all while living. I'm an adult. I'm 46, and I often wonder how long I can live with myself. I rarely go out. I'm not a fan of my own company most of the time. Right now, the darkness came back for an extended visit. I go through the motions. I do care about you, Thoraya, and I am so glad you have made these types of human connection part of your life. You're a very special person.
@thorayaa, I fell in love with your channel since the 1st time I came across it. I look forward to your posts. I would love to hear YOUR story 1 of these days. Blessed love from Jamaica ❤
Dear (Thoraya), I love that I love your channel. I love the way I lean with my elbows on my desk as I watch with my chin resting in my palm. I love the way your brave volunteers make me smile or chuckle. I love the way my shoulders bounce up and down and my body trembles as I choke up with emotion from the human story unfolding in front of your lens. With the ease that Raveena can willingly get two men to the mountaintop, so too are you able to draw in and draw out the heart of a stranger's willing vulnerability with simple kindness and compassion. That is the essence of who you are. Your ability to create, invite, and share such love is the perfect antidote for what ails our country. God Bless you, my friend.
One of the best things he gave me was introducing me to you.. We loved watching your videos.. Time is such a powerful thing. You never believe what happened would occur. You are happy and dancing and full of life and dreams. One day. And another, you are broken,lifeless,hopeless, barely breathing. Love does things like that. It did.
8:00, this story really reached inside me some years ago I was approached by someone to sing in his band which I did and he agreed to pay me, and asked me how much I wanted I said well since we’re only just getting to know each other how much is 50 bucks and I’ll work all night for you, which I did at the end of the gig I caught a ride home with him stopped at the store he walked in came back out, With a bottle of grape juice and handed it to me nothing more was said about the fee that I had expected now at this point I was really in need of some money but I didn’t really want to be confrontational about the money so I took the grape juice and went home. I thought about this episode many times and I thought I’ll never trust this guy again and that actually stuck with me for quite some time one year I found out that this person had passed away from a cancer I was walking by a Elks building (it’s one of those places that houses the members of a club called the Elks), I saw someone that I knew and she said are you going to his memorial service and I said, “I didn’t know that he had passed away I didn’t know there was a memorial service for him “after having said that I thought about it and I said you know I should go and pay my respects I am actually that type of person I will pay my respects for someone who has passed away no matter what the circumstance was so as I stood in this huge hall and people were just milling around and talking about him and you know admiring him and I was thinking yeah but he only paid me with grape juice, For a gig as I got ready to leave something told me to look down and I was shocked because under my shoe was a $50 bill I looked around I bent over and I picked it up and I just held it in my hand thinking maybe somebody would see me and say I drop that and I would summarily return it but nobody ever did so I put it in my pocket and left I never think about this man again in a negative way and I kind of miss him to this day.
@@loreleew2354 it stayed with me to this dayHi! How do you say to people that I consider myself to be spiritual and not too much religious but sometimes things happen and they add a new dimension to your thinking
I don’t often come along a yt video that I really appreciate, but because this is about humans being humans I absolutely adore everything about it. Thank you for this, Thoraya. I think your very beautiful.
Number 6 really hit hard for me. Almost felt like it was being taken out of my personal diary. The line at the end, about how the pain became normal, it became love, that has been my life for the past decade. I’m in the works of writing my own love letter. But I can’t seem to finish it, much more start it. I barely lift the pen and press it to the paper and I begin to cry. I guess I’ll take your advise and just sit with this until I can write it. My words will come your way soon some day, when I’m able to transfer them from my heart to the paper. Thank you for your work all these years. I can only imagine how many people have fallen in love with you from watching and listening to you. Thank you for starting your projects. Many hugs from a stranger in New Mexico.
I thought I had my soulmate in 1992 until 2000 when he crushed me he broke me he's destroyed my heart I gave him 20 minutes to get out of my life I have not seen him since.. he was gone in a minute.. does he realize what he did probably not.. I miss the man I thought he was.. but after 24 years I'm still looking for my soulmate❤❤ good luck to me someday
@@spulwasser I used to be on three dating websites and I haven't been on any of them for The Last 5 Years they're all wolves in sheep's clothing.. my mother used to say stop looking the right one will just fall in your lap..lol😁😁♥️ thank you for your kind words
@@babydoll9282 sure :) I am 25 and only dated 1 person so far, that was 5 years ago. I'm not really sure why that is; but I believe because I'm not looking for it. I believe that what should be will be, and it will be good☺️
@@bolsa3136 how old do you want me to be🥰 I'm old enough to know better and young enough to do it again😁 I think my first question to someone I don't know on the internet would be where do you live??
Dear Thoraya, You are one beautiful soul! I love how you portray the letters: by reading them, having someone read them, and through songs and dancers. Beautiful! I think in my life, I feel numb about love. I’ve tried too hard to find the one. So now, I am not in that state of mind. That’s why I feel numb. I know I will get back to stop feeling numb. For now, I will work on learning to live myself again. Many blessings. I love your videos. Thank you.
I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but I felt compelled to on this one. I consider this to be the most heartwarming video of all time. It's beautifully executed and exquisitely written. Even for those who have lost faith in love, this video has the power to reignite that belief. The pure, raw emotions conveyed in all the love letters, devoid of hurtful insults, represent love in its truest form. The heartbreak we often witness is merely a distorted reflection of love, not its genuine essence. These love letters depict beautiful human expressions of love in its purest and most elevated form. Thank you for sharing this impactful video with the world. I believe in Love
I wanna thank Thoraya one more time for the Beauty her channel brings. Dancing in the middle of a park is life. Writing a letter is life. Having a tea with a lovely guy like Marcin is life. Btw, the letter he read was beautiful and also the one he wrote 😊 so Thoraya, thank you for celebrating life with all of us, whatever life brings. Loads of love from an italian subscriber ❤
Oh @Thoraya, your videos always make me cry, different tears each time, sadness, happiness, hurt, love. Thank you for this new series. I hope it brings much healing and love to those that need it.
letter 6 is very painful but relatable. i had those feelings about my first ever boyfriend as well. i wanted to keep him as happy as i could, and he believed he was doing the same for me, but he was the kind of man to confuse lust for love. we only did what he wanted to do, and i thought it was the right thing to do so he wouldn't succumb to darkness like described. i think that was the most painful realisation of "i'm not in the wrong" i had, to realise that he didn't love me, he just thought he did and that in real life i was nothing but another man's body to him. it weighs on me heavily and i wonder if writing a letter about it would make it easier.
I can't believe it has already been six months since you started this project. I finally worked up the courage to send my letter four months ago. It was beautiful hearing eight special people's love letters. Love can and is incredibly unfair but if I was only to ever be loved for one second my whole life, the pain would always be worth it.
Love letter Nr. 4 was the most beautiful thing I've ever read/heard! How beautifully it was written! Made me want to be A, the person it was written to. My heart actually bloomed!
Thoraya, your appreciation for the deepness of love and human beings is so gold and more importantly, needed in this world. Keep up the good work that you do. We love turning to it all when we need it... Especially those who have no idea they needed it and find it - just like finding love in unexpected places and times. Thank you!
This was so beautiful, how lucky you are to meet such lovely people like Marcin and Raveena. It's wonderful to know that so much love is out there, we tend to forget when things at the moment around the world are so dire. Love is out there, even if it's unrequited...it's there surrounding us, blanketing us even for a moment in warmth, love and light in these cold and dark times.
"Sometimes a listener needs a listener too" I absolutely love and appreciate the way you listen to people talk Thoraya. You are healing something you never broke. Lots of love❤️
This was so beautiful. I couldn't even choose a word to describe what watching this felt like. I cried, I giggled, my heart broke with those broken hearts, and you made me feel hope at the end. Thank you for this extraordinary moment.
I am so so grateful that I stumbled upon something so beautiful yet heartbreaking. I so badly want to share this with someone that I don't have yet. What am I to do with all these emotions now? It seems so unfair and so wrong to have experienced something like this but not have anyone to share this with! I guess, I will sit this one out too.. Much love Thoraya♥️✨️
I'm from India and this is my favorite RUclips channel. Been watching this channel for almost years now - started during the early days of the pandemic - and here we are. thanks for all the videos, Thoraya.
Thoraya, you are such a bright light. You are beautiful. You are kind. You’re amazing. I appreciate your content more than ANY other channel on RUclips. Thank you for doing what you do. ❤
Oh, wow! That second letter read by Marcin made me cry. I live that kind of love in real life…the kind this writer is envisioning. We look forward to coming home, watching shows, strolling the markets, buying groceries, cooking meals, and traveling together. They are simple actions with the core of deep love.
Beautiful video, Thoraya! I enjoyed this, thank you. Also, I 💯 believe that the money that Marcin (at the coffee shop) found was from his friend who passed away. Spirit can and will communicate.
All of the letters were so beautifully written, poetic and heartfelt. Thank you to the people that have shared their letters, and thank you to you, Thoraya for creating such a poignant series. The last one really hit a nerve for me, as it reminded me of someone that I had loved for a long time, but didn’t realise until they were gone. ❤️
I cried and was happy at the same time. 😢❤ i can’t explain. And i’ve been single for a while quite been long time. And all the meaningful words you summarized at the end of this video made me cry non-stop. Love you all! And love all of the love letters. 🥹💌
When was in college I read a lot of Leo Buscaglia. I was introduced to him in a philosophy class. I continued reading his books because I found his writing let me know beauty of being human. I am now in my sixties and I have carried his work in my heart. that entire time Not since I stumbled upon your work have I felt the same way about a body of work. Your art touches my soul and I love you for sharing it with me! - Thank you!
@@Thorayaa I hope you don't mind that I recommend two of his books "Living Loving and Learning" and "Love." You really can't go wrong with any of his books but I am sure you will enjoy these two.
I love this project, and I’m very appreciative of this channel. Your videos do really make my day and make me realize how special random strangers can be.

That guy at the coffee shop is fantastic! I'm 42 and today, me and my wife are celebrating 13 years together.
I just came to her, kissed her and said that we are so lucky to have found love and we should stop the small little arguments.
Guys, trust me on this: if you have a healthy relationship, most arguments you will have with your partner will be little and pointless, so just stop and don't make these little things turn into big thing that can ruin your relationship.
Dear Marcin. I'm your fan. Greetings from Aruba Dutch Caribbean.
Thoraya,
Your art always reminds me that humanity is beautiful.
Thank you
Thank you 🥺
Will I ever experience love? I didn't know love was this beautiful.
The reveal that the thing you did with each letter is a way of healing is just beautiful... how long did this video take to put together?
I love that her box number is 143. Very fitting. Iykyk.
I literally wanted to hug the first guy reading so bad🤎🫂✨
I didn't have the guts to send a letter, so I admire the authors.❤
You can still do it ( even if can't send it) Love from 🇺🇾
LETTER TO MY UNKNOWN LOVE:
I’ve tried to write this letter so many times.
I’ve always been good with these things but for some reason I can’t seem to put my thoughts together.
I love letters!
I love the fact that back in the days people used to write love letters.
Someone once told me that love letters were written just so two people could get a little closer by touching the same piece of paper, even when they were oceans away from each other. How beautiful is that?!
I often think about the love of my life. My soulmate.
I will be absolutely devastated and heartbroken if I never get the chance to meet him.
I like to look at life as a box full of surprises and possibilities, I think it’s what makes it so magical.
That being said, I wonder how i’ll meet him.
Maybe I’ll bump into him in a grocery store or maybe we’ll find each other’s eyes in a crowded place somewhere.
I have no idea.
I just desperately long for the day I will see him for the first time, as if I was made just to live in that split of second.
I wonder: what is he doing now? where does he live? do we speak the same language? do we listen to the same music? does he feel the same about meeting me? has he ever been in love before? when will we finally cross paths?
Isn’t it crazy that he is out there right now? why is the world so big? I’d sail the seven seas to meet him if i could. If only i knew where he is -but this rush of meeting him would only make the magic of it all just fade away.
maybe I’m talking nonsense, but i can feel the love.
I feel it in my bones.
My heart knows him since day one, even though my eyes haven’t seen him yet.
I’m looking forward to a random monday night in a few years from now, when we’re just dancing in a silly way to “Tennessee Whiskey” in our kitchen after dinner. I’m sure I’m gonna think to myself: this is it! this is love! I found him.
And then all the waiting will make sense.
All the times I chose to go left instead of right, all the times I decided to sleep in for five more minutes, all the times I said “yes” instead of “no”… all the tiny choices I’ve made throughout my life that led me to him, it will all come together to a place where I was meant to be.
The right place at the right time -and my heart will no longer be half empty.
But until then, I’m here.
I’m writing a letter that might never be read. I’m writing a letter and I haven’t met the person to receive it yet.
I’m thinking about the millions of meetings and disagreements that happen every single day around the world, about the millions of passing souls in search of something eternal, something that makes sense. I’m thinking about the millions of hopeful hearts searching for true love in the “coincidences”. I’m thinking about the strangers that cross paths with us and somehow never leave our memories, but will never be anything else than just strangers.
But above all, I’m thinking that I will always wait for my soulmate, because the single thought of meeting him - the love of my life, 1 in 8 billion people and trillions of different possibilities- is the song my heart has always beaten to.
Sincerely,
Nicole.
This is so so beautifully put... exactly how I feel about meeting "the one"... couldn't have put it together more accurately... Thankyou Nicole❤❤
❤. This left me with no words but a lot of tears.
❤❤
This is beautiful Nicole. I hope you and I and everyone who loves love finds their soulmates 🤍
This was so beautiful to read.
I have been waiting for this since you announced the project! 😍🙌🤟
Thank youu! More coming soon :]
I'd love to hear which day / love letter # resonated with you most. Leave me a comment and tell me why. I love you all
#6. It sounds like a conversation between my inner dialogue. From Me to Me. It is about depression, neglecting my needs/myself care, not treating myself well. The other part takes and never gives back any love. There is no love left to feel within myself. My mental illnesses + physical disabilities cause me so much pain every day. So much so that I am trying not to resort to my own history of self-abuse in order to distract myself and punish myself. The only self-love I know is pain, whether I do it or I do it (brain and physical pain). I have no support network, and all of my family that was semi-local is dead. I'm not sure if they would help with affection, either, since they didn't show much at all while living. I'm an adult. I'm 46, and I often wonder how long I can live with myself. I rarely go out. I'm not a fan of my own company most of the time. Right now, the darkness came back for an extended visit. I go through the motions. I do care about you, Thoraya, and I am so glad you have made these types of human connection part of your life. You're a very special person.
The one about being dragged into darkness. Unfortunately relatable. But that’s all in the past. Here’s to a brighter future 🥂
@@saralynn518Sending you love.
@thorayaa, I fell in love with your channel since the 1st time I came across it. I look forward to your posts. I would love to hear YOUR story 1 of these days. Blessed love from Jamaica ❤
I loved that I loved you ❤
Your vids are the sunshine to my rainy days. Thank you Thoraya
Wishing you a sunny day
🥺 Thank you!
Dear (Thoraya), I love that I love your channel. I love the way I lean with my elbows on my desk as I watch with my chin resting in my palm. I love the way your brave volunteers make me smile or chuckle. I love the way my shoulders bounce up and down and my body trembles as I choke up with emotion from the human story unfolding in front of your lens. With the ease that Raveena can willingly get two men to the mountaintop, so too are you able to draw in and draw out the heart of a stranger's willing vulnerability with simple kindness and compassion. That is the essence of who you are. Your ability to create, invite, and share such love is the perfect antidote for what ails our country. God Bless you, my friend.
I love Raveena. This was beautiful.
One of the best things he gave me was introducing me to you..
We loved watching your videos..
Time is such a powerful thing. You never believe what happened would occur.
You are happy and dancing and full of life and dreams. One day.
And another, you are broken,lifeless,hopeless, barely breathing. Love does things like that.
It did.
This video is a peace of art
Absolutely... a collaborative masterpiece.. humanity at its best
letter 4 made me bawl my eyes out..waiting for a love like that.
That guy explains things in such a beautifully different way ❤
I was, and still am, a hopeless romantic that melts with love letters. Ahhh this is so beautiful in the simplest way
8:00, this story really reached inside me some years ago I was approached by someone to sing in his band which I did and he agreed to pay me, and asked me how much I wanted I said well since we’re only just getting to know each other how much is 50 bucks and I’ll work all night for you, which I did at the end of the gig I caught a ride home with him stopped at the store he walked in came back out, With a bottle of grape juice and handed it to me nothing more was said about the fee that I had expected now at this point I was really in need of some money but I didn’t really want to be confrontational about the money so I took the grape juice and went home. I thought about this episode many times and I thought I’ll never trust this guy again and that actually stuck with me for quite some time one year I found out that this person had passed away from a cancer I was walking by a Elks building (it’s one of those places that houses the members of a club called the Elks), I saw someone that I knew and she said are you going to his memorial service and I said, “I didn’t know that he had passed away I didn’t know there was a memorial service for him “after having said that I thought about it and I said you know I should go and pay my respects I am actually that type of person I will pay my respects for someone who has passed away no matter what the circumstance was so as I stood in this huge hall and people were just milling around and talking about him and you know admiring him and I was thinking yeah but he only paid me with grape juice, For a gig as I got ready to leave something told me to look down and I was shocked because under my shoe was a $50 bill I looked around I bent over and I picked it up and I just held it in my hand thinking maybe somebody would see me and say I drop that and I would summarily return it but nobody ever did so I put it in my pocket and left I never think about this man again in a negative way and I kind of miss him to this day.
Sounds like a God thing...
@@loreleew2354 it stayed with me to this dayHi! How do you say to people that I consider myself to be spiritual and not too much religious but sometimes things happen and they add a new dimension to your thinking
I don’t often come along a yt video that I really appreciate, but because this is about humans being humans I absolutely adore everything about it. Thank you for this, Thoraya. I think your very beautiful.
I'm so glad that this channel exists.
Love seeing positive loving videos on RUclips instead of the random mindless videos you usually come across.
Number 6 really hit hard for me. Almost felt like it was being taken out of my personal diary. The line at the end, about how the pain became normal, it became love, that has been my life for the past decade. I’m in the works of writing my own love letter. But I can’t seem to finish it, much more start it. I barely lift the pen and press it to the paper and I begin to cry. I guess I’ll take your advise and just sit with this until I can write it. My words will come your way soon some day, when I’m able to transfer them from my heart to the paper. Thank you for your work all these years. I can only imagine how many people have fallen in love with you from watching and listening to you. Thank you for starting your projects. Many hugs from a stranger in New Mexico.
I thought I had my soulmate in 1992 until 2000 when he crushed me he broke me he's destroyed my heart I gave him 20 minutes to get out of my life I have not seen him since.. he was gone in a minute.. does he realize what he did probably not.. I miss the man I thought he was.. but after 24 years I'm still looking for my soulmate❤❤ good luck to me someday
He's waiting just around the next corner❤
@@spulwasser I used to be on three dating websites and I haven't been on any of them for The Last 5 Years they're all wolves in sheep's clothing.. my mother used to say stop looking the right one will just fall in your lap..lol😁😁♥️ thank you for your kind words
@@babydoll9282 sure :) I am 25 and only dated 1 person so far, that was 5 years ago. I'm not really sure why that is; but I believe because I'm not looking for it. I believe that what should be will be, and it will be good☺️
How old are you?
@@bolsa3136 how old do you want me to be🥰 I'm old enough to know better and young enough to do it again😁 I think my first question to someone I don't know on the internet would be where do you live??
Heartache is part of being alive
Dear Thoraya,
You are one beautiful soul!
I love how you portray the letters: by reading them, having someone read them, and through songs and dancers. Beautiful!
I think in my life, I feel numb about love. I’ve tried too hard to find the one. So now, I am not in that state of mind. That’s why I feel numb. I know I will get back to stop feeling numb. For now, I will work on learning to live myself again. Many blessings.
I love your videos. Thank you.
Every single time I need to cry a Thoraya video justs opens me up like a master key to my tears and feelings
I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but I felt compelled to on this one.
I consider this to be the most heartwarming video of all time. It's beautifully executed and exquisitely written. Even for those who have lost faith in love, this video has the power to reignite that belief. The pure, raw emotions conveyed in all the love letters, devoid of hurtful insults, represent love in its truest form. The heartbreak we often witness is merely a distorted reflection of love, not its genuine essence. These love letters depict beautiful human expressions of love in its purest and most elevated form. Thank you for sharing this impactful video with the world. I believe in Love
oh my.... thank you so much for your comment. The way you've received this episode is something I'll remember forever.
Marcin is so pure. So hard to hold on to that as you get older. I hope he protects that pureness at all costs!
I wanna thank Thoraya one more time for the Beauty her channel brings. Dancing in the middle of a park is life. Writing a letter is life. Having a tea with a lovely guy like Marcin is life. Btw, the letter he read was beautiful and also the one he wrote 😊 so Thoraya, thank you for celebrating life with all of us, whatever life brings.
Loads of love from an italian subscriber ❤
Oooh I can't wait! ❤❤❤
This was so beautifully done, Thoraya! Thank you.
And in the end,
The love you take
Is equal to the Love
You make. ❤
this channel is proves that humans, are delicate, yet strong.
Emotionally preparing myself before pressing play…
I love the first guy that read the second letter...he seems so genuine and his letter was beautiful
Oh @Thoraya, your videos always make me cry, different tears each time, sadness, happiness, hurt, love. Thank you for this new series. I hope it brings much healing and love to those that need it.
letter 6 is very painful but relatable. i had those feelings about my first ever boyfriend as well. i wanted to keep him as happy as i could, and he believed he was doing the same for me, but he was the kind of man to confuse lust for love. we only did what he wanted to do, and i thought it was the right thing to do so he wouldn't succumb to darkness like described. i think that was the most painful realisation of "i'm not in the wrong" i had, to realise that he didn't love me, he just thought he did and that in real life i was nothing but another man's body to him. it weighs on me heavily and i wonder if writing a letter about it would make it easier.
I can't believe it has already been six months since you started this project. I finally worked up the courage to send my letter four months ago. It was beautiful hearing eight special people's love letters. Love can and is incredibly unfair but if I was only to ever be loved for one second my whole life, the pain would always be worth it.
The lady and her Beautiful music❤ 🎶
Love letter Nr. 4 was the most beautiful thing I've ever read/heard! How beautifully it was written! Made me want to be A, the person it was written to. My heart actually bloomed!
This was such a beautiful tribute to love and the human desire for connection. Thanks so much❤
Thoraya, your appreciation for the deepness of love and human beings is so gold and more importantly, needed in this world.
Keep up the good work that you do. We love turning to it all when we need it... Especially those who have no idea they needed it and find it - just like finding love in unexpected places and times.
Thank you!
This was so beautiful, how lucky you are to meet such lovely people like Marcin and Raveena. It's wonderful to know that so much love is out there, we tend to forget when things at the moment around the world are so dire. Love is out there, even if it's unrequited...it's there surrounding us, blanketing us even for a moment in warmth, love and light in these cold and dark times.
Another beautiful video Thoraya
You and your content make the world a better place. God bless you Thoraya, thank you.
"Sometimes a listener needs a listener too" I absolutely love and appreciate the way you listen to people talk Thoraya. You are healing something you never broke. Lots of love❤️
This project of yours is becoming more than the letters and I think this one will stay in my memory until it can't process anymore
This was so beautiful. I couldn't even choose a word to describe what watching this felt like. I cried, I giggled, my heart broke with those broken hearts, and you made me feel hope at the end. Thank you for this extraordinary moment.
I am so so grateful that I stumbled upon something so beautiful yet heartbreaking. I so badly want to share this with someone that I don't have yet. What am I to do with all these emotions now? It seems so unfair and so wrong to have experienced something like this but not have anyone to share this with! I guess, I will sit this one out too.. Much love Thoraya♥️✨️
The transition from reading the lyrics to the song and the video of random people dancing; it was all great! Admirable work, as always. Congrats!
Love letter #5 hit too close to home for me...glad I let them go honestly. For my freedom and hers. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for showing glimpses of humanity that so often is hidden or suppressed.
I'm from India and this is my favorite RUclips channel. Been watching this channel for almost years now - started during the early days of the pandemic - and here we are. thanks for all the videos, Thoraya.
What a beautiful project!
Be reminded what it's like to fall in love and find new love. Powerful!
Thank you 🙏
Marcin is the cutest and most interesting soul I have seen in a while
I can't not cry at your videos, it's so moving every time!!
I just found it really touching, thanks for being that digital space who brings hope and a couple of tears of love to my soul today =)
This is just the salve my soul has been aching for.
Thank you. A million times over, thank you 💖🙏💗🌈
Thank you so much for watching!!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Thoraya, you are such a bright light. You are beautiful. You are kind. You’re amazing. I appreciate your content more than ANY other channel on RUclips. Thank you for doing what you do. ❤
See these, these videos give me hope. They give my the hope that some people in this world are like this.💙
Please keep doing this. I love seeing these different shades of love.
every now and then u may see or run in2 a real angel...this is way better then any shrink can tell or teach u. no words...
Oh, wow! That second letter read by Marcin made me cry. I live that kind of love in real life…the kind this writer is envisioning. We look forward to coming home, watching shows, strolling the markets, buying groceries, cooking meals, and traveling together. They are simple actions with the core of deep love.
The mom dancing with her son!!
❤❤❤
Beautiful video, Thoraya! I enjoyed this, thank you. Also, I 💯 believe that the money that Marcin (at the coffee shop) found was from his friend who passed away. Spirit can and will communicate.
The second letter is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard 💕
All of the letters were so beautifully written, poetic and heartfelt. Thank you to the people that have shared their letters, and thank you to you, Thoraya for creating such a poignant series. The last one really hit a nerve for me, as it reminded me of someone that I had loved for a long time, but didn’t realise until they were gone. ❤️
I cried and was happy at the same time. 😢❤ i can’t explain. And i’ve been single for a while quite been long time. And all the meaningful words you summarized at the end of this video made me cry non-stop.
Love you all!
And love all of the love letters. 🥹💌
Thanks for your wonderful work 🧡
I cried many tears throughout this video, thank you for all those that shared
When was in college I read a lot of Leo Buscaglia. I was introduced to him in a philosophy class. I continued reading his books because I found his writing let me know beauty of being human. I am now in my sixties and I have carried his work in my heart. that entire time Not since I stumbled upon your work have I felt the same way about a body of work. Your art touches my soul and I love you for sharing it with me! - Thank you!
Wow, David, thank you! I’m not familiar with his work, but I’ll add one of his books to my reading list for this year!
@@Thorayaa I hope you don't mind that I recommend two of his books "Living Loving and Learning" and "Love." You really can't go wrong with any of his books but I am sure you will enjoy these two.
I love this project, and I’m very appreciative of this channel. Your videos do really make my day and make me realize how special random strangers can be.
