I was also that kid who liked to spend time alone and live in a world of pure imagination. And like Raja, it gives me power and confidence and definitely keeps me young to this day. Love ya Sutan!

    I think the gray hair looks really good slicked back and in contrast to his dark skin . I originally thought his recipe for anti aging would be something feel good like embracing art and authenticity so it was refreshing to hear that he wasn't opposed to a little Botox and filler as well .

    I literally started my youtube channel so that I'd be motivated to complete the activities that I was too depressed to do. To cultivate the community I lacked in my life.
    I’ve had to overhaul how I approach work/habits by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my habits that give me stability (ex. journaling/working out) - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my channel. I hope to find people to motivate me and I could motivate in return. It’s been really fulfilling so far.
    I succeeded in the corporate world/uni by not taking care of myself. I’d like any future sucess to come from taking care of myself and I would like the work I’m putting into myself will nurture the creative side of me I’ve repressed for so long. Loved the video

Looks amazing .. I laughed and said no just stress and age lol .. she didn’t believe me at first.

    I wish I had the confidence to be myself. I’m 56 years old and I have always been the person others expect.

    Raja has always been my favorite drag queen I feel so protective of her ❤️ And I didn’t think this video would make me so emotional, but the part about her shoes really hit me. I lost most of my right ankle and lower leg in a car accident two years ago, god what I would give to wear a pair of heels again…
