I Just Turned 20 And I Feel Alive.
I Just Turned 20 And I Feel Alive.
Coming Of Age Travel Vlog.
Travel Film
Van Life
if for some reason this was the last film i ever made, i think i’d be content with that. maybe that sounds extremely morbid but episode 5 definitely has a darker/heavier energy than the rest of the series. it doesn’t even feel like an episode of BORDERLESS to me - this story really speaks for itself i think or at least hope it was able to distinguish its own vibe while simultaneously correlating with the rest of the videos. from the unsettling shots on the bridge, to even just sitting in the middle of the road lighting a birthday cake, i think it shows there can be beauty even in life’s eerie events/scenes. or at least i just love how blissful yet unsettling some of the shots feel. i was heavily influenced by The End Of The F***ing World - that show has such an uneasy energy to it yet it’s a cinematic masterpiece. it’s like oddly beautiful.
overall, id definitely say seeing this episode come to life helped me process the daunting inevitability of death. it’s just always been odd to me how rare we as humans actually talk about dying… obviously it’s a very scary and complex topic but maybe without death, life wouldn’t mean anything.
as a viewer, im genuinely intrested to know how you interpreted this film? how did it make you feel? i tried to create some symbolisms / little hidden messages, so let me know if anyone picked up on anything :)
I definitely agree with you, it has a darker feel. I myself also have a fear of death , even with wildlife and nature. I have developed Seasonal depression over the years so at around this time every year I feel a major sense of loneliness and depression due to the changing temperatures, changing leaves, etc. Natalie, you have always been so mature with your film making as someone who has been a viewer for 2 years now. I love your philosophy and I hope you enjoy van life and life altogether, you and your friend.
This was by far my fav film of yours. I loved the eerie vibe and aesthetic. Throughout the film, I got the impression that living≠existing and living>existing. I LOVED the bit at the beginning with old voice recordings and clips. AMAZING. I really hope my life is as full of life as yours is. Keep adventuring Natalie :)
I do believe death gives meaning to life. Every single moment of pain, sorrow, happiness, despair, etc. They create our stories, our memories.
I think this is your most deeply-rooted philosophical film yet! It conveys every piece of emotion that a person would have when and if they question the very essence of life/death.
I will always remember this quote I heard somewhere, "Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened..." But to truly accept this message deep down we have to love it.
"Amor Fati" (Love Everything That Happens).
Natalie choosing to show the shot of blowing out the candle for a second time at 14:57 was genius. It gave the shot a whole new meaning. Its not about the birthday, the light of the candle going out represents death, and Natalie celebrating represents how she accepted death. Incredible video as always :)
I really enjoyed this vid because.... well i dont actually know. There is something in the shots and the music that makes me feel uneasy but in a good way..? Its kind of reassuring to know other people think and question themselves about such a creepy thing like death.
wishing my life were a natalie lynn film
don't we all
same
Me too!
Exactly 😭😭....wait .... I will do it😶...yeah I will 🤧💖
me actually going to do it once I’m older tho 😌
Everyone commenting about the story and stuff, but damn, that editing is some of the best i've seen lol. Perfect beats, transitions, shots, etc. as entertaining as she is, her, or whoever is editing these videos is goddamn great.
agreed, the composition and editing is very well done!
She edits her own videos 🫶🏼
Exactly
As a proffesional editor, who's been working in film and tv and advertising for the last 10 years...yes....Natalie...is incredibly talented. LIKE CRAZY GOOD. It's rare to see a storyteller this clean and thought through - especially at 20. Huge congrats.
she edits her own videos : )
The storytelling in these videos is incredible
"the older i keep getting" If only I could explain to you how lucky you are to be so young with so much awareness
sharp but in right way non annoyance
exactly, I'm sitting here at 30 being like.. wow, I will never be 20 again... that part of me is dead and gone, and every day I become older.
sounds obvious, but like... young people have no idea how important youth is, and how when it's gone - it's gone forever.
Can you at try to explain? I really want to understand.
I'm damn 18 and be goin 19 next year I keep thinking like I've lost my sweet seventeen and I'd be fighting for college and etc I kept thinking abt everything I- damn man. It feels like highschool was like few days ago and I'd be graduated soon? Life is crazy
I’m 38 and it only gets more real and real as time slips. 20s went fast, 30s went even faster. Live your true purpose, don’t settle, and shoot for big goals.
I wish I could express myself like she does. I get a strange kind of feeling every time I watch Natalie's video. It's a rush to do something. Create something, share what i have, talk about it. Somewhere somehow. Anything.
You can! Keep pushing forward. We’re all in it together.
@@_tyolsen yes we are. Thanks for this.
For me its the feeling of unfairness that i have dealt with rare mental illnesses for half of my life while people like her get to experience life for what it really is while also having great and beautiful friends and actually get satisfaction from doing something and the strenght to actually live life.
Yes, i need help.
@@shuttzi9878 i feel you. And when I say it, i mean it. I have struggled with mental health. I still do. It's hard to live life like that. And I keep thinking why can't we all enjoy life like some do. Why can't I do stuff like others do. I feel stuck, i feel helpless. But with time I started to see things as it is. Appreciate small things. For me watching her videos kind of inspires me. Pushes me. Makes me want to live life to the fullest. At least try to. One thing I learned over the years that has helped me a lot is to not compare your life with others.
@@halfsliceoflife yes man cheers 🥂
My best friend died in a plain accident yesterday. We are 23. He always made it a point to tell people he loved them because of exactly how this video started. Don't take life lightly. It's precious, live it to the fullest. This video made me cry. He was always the one to pull me into adventures. I'm taking this as a sign to keep going on them without him here.
im so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. Friends are irreplaceable. I'm sure he'd be really happy to know that you're going to keep adventuring.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Luke. I lost my best friend last year and it’s been painful to go on without her. But I will say this. You will find healing in living a life that would make your friend proud. Live as if he's still by your side. I wish you all the best on your journey. Take good care of yourself, okay?
He seems to have been a great friend. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure the world is a little bit better because of him. Best wishes!
I am so sorry. My friend who was like a big sister to me died in may and she was the same way-always expressing love and joy. Life is cruelest to the undeserving. Her death opened my eyes because we are so young, and I guess life felt infinite before I lost her. Every day is hard but we have to learn from their loss and rememebr that at the end of it all there is nothing so why not do everything with what we have. i know your pain and it will never leave, again I am very sorry. Would not wish this pain on anyone
Her channel is like one big coming-of-age film and I’m here for it.
These videos radiate such great energy.I love it.
“I’m no longer afraid of death because I’ve experienced what’s it like to truly live.” Those words gives me chills. I’m just a stranger but I really do hope you have a beautiful life ahead full of experiences that make you feel alive!
she's the embodiment of “we are infinite” (perks of being a wallflower)
``one day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it's worth watching``
gerard? *crying*
It reminds me of the Netflix series, End of the fucking world-- you gotta make the best out of all situations, even though it may feel like the worst experience at the time. Everything we go through makes us an essential part of another's life; like a domino effect.
This is the reason why Natalie is who she is. She doesn't post every week or every other day but when she does, she blows her past videos out of the water. Waiting for more!
The man was created in the IMAGE OF GOD: Genesis 9:6 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Genesis 1:27 | View whole chapter | See verse in context So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. GOD = SPIRIT + SOUL + BODY = ALL 3 SPIRITUAL. (100% spirit being). MAN = SPIRIT + SOUL + BODY = 2 parts spiritual (everlasting) 1 part carnal for a little time. not yet fully spiritual, for our bodies are still mortal /carnal, but soon: 1 Corinthians 15:53 | View whole chapter | See verse in context For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. Matthew 22:30 | View whole chapter | See verse in context For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
If being in gender : male and female = the image of GOD, then the verse: Matthew 22:30 - this verse, clearly says: gender shall be lost, for there is no need for it any more. Life last forever, no ageing, no marring, no need to multiply. No longer point of being male or female. Therefore, those who claim, that being a baphomet is the true image of GOD (baphomet is the image of the false god, the devil), you all going to lose the image of the god then. But then again, all those who serve the baphomet, who is the beast, they shall not be in heaven nor shall they inherit the new earth, for them only HELL AND THE LAKE OF FIRE, SHALL BE THEIR FOREVER HOME.(full of torment).
Now we should ask a question here: as we know, that SPIRIT is neither male nor female, therefore the last words in the verse: GENESIS 1:27? - the answer: TO MULTIPLY. If GOD didn`t add genders: male and female, HE /GOD Himself would have then need to created second by second the same creation: man, from dust again and again. There would have been no point for that, therefore HE added genders: male and female, so we, His perfect creation; mankind could mange to multiply itself/ourselves. We must study the BIBLE also, not just read but to study it too, for to realise and understand the truthful and real meaning behind a single word in the biblical text. But if we misread the verse: GENESIS 1.27 - then we do read out that the image of GOD is male and female together, giving us the baphomet, the image of the false god, the devil So, are you studing the bible also or just read it and end up misreading it all the time?
Please souls, study the BIBLE - the living word of the living GOD, it is 100% accurate about the lives we live and about the place we live these.
The fact that you're able to create a sense of nostalgia in your present moment is so impressive. This channel will go far, and you are a fundamentally brilliant filmmaker.
There is something lovely about seeing others peoples joy. Never understood jealousy or hate towards another. Im glad for your journey
I don't know if Natalie inspires me or makes me depressed because of the boring life I have right now.
Btw Natalie takes her video editing to another level, I love it!!
Then start living!
@@daga2996 you need money to start living. Got a job yet still don't have $$ to go anywhere.
Remember: you are the leader of ur life!
No news is good news, friend.
See the Ukraine rn if you need an example.
Enjoy the little things more and youll feel alive, too
@@joseffranz3872 trust me im trying hard
If someone ever ask me "what is life?" , I tell them to watch this film.
This was awesome. I’m turning 30 next year and a lot of this light-hearted energy you have as a child has been peeled off already by my growing sense of responsibility for my own life and my wish for financial independence. I feel quite pathetic for not having achieved it, yet, at times, and it preys on my mind. It’s good to be reminded to embrace life on the way so I don’t lose all the joy and turn into that harsh and lonely adult that I never wanted to become. Otherwise, I might just suddenly die one day, still chasing the illusion that I’m not where I want to be, while in reality I was just blind to the fact that I had it all and accidentally sacrificed it on my way.
You've got a gift, girl. Something about your videos that just evokes certain emotions. Never stop creating. You're a huge inspiration.
Absolut!
Everything around me disappeared within the first 20 seconds of your film Natalie. I’m a 51 year old and your film made me think about what I would tell my younger self. (thanks for the video concept btw 😉) Facing my fears is the message I got. It’s not too late for me.
Its never too late ! ❤️
Never too late while we alive!
Reading your Comment ,i know what thing I would do with myself now ,I really don’t want to waste my time I want to experience it and I hope it will be never too late for everyone out there who hope to do sth better ❤
im50yr dude n age is a factor but in a positive sense
Just came across this channel at 3:00am and OMG. I never subscribed to a channel so fast in my life. You are literally living my dream life. I’ve never seen this type on RUclips scene. Your editing skills and vibe. This feels more than any other RUclips blog. It’s like a document or a movie that took months to make and and you make it in every video you make and it is just AMAZING. It makes me so happy how happy and free you look. It’s amazing how you give of this beautiful energy from your films. Who knows how many people changed their view on life from this cause you absolutely changed mine. I hope one day I would be in your same shoes. Keep up the GREAT work.
This film is masterpiece...how edited it, sound, music, angle, colorgrading and have some meaningful messages with her stories. She is so talent
I love how much thought you put into every upload.
i was here😊
As a grumpy older person it is hard not to have some of the layers of stress peeled back by watching this video and being reminded of the joy and innocence that youth offers. Glad you are having fun and hopefully there is a very long road ahead for you ❤
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven?
Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
by reading God's Word.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
loved how natalie so intricately captured the ephemerality of life and acceptance of death to embrace life fully. Editing, storytelling and cinematography was on-point. It made me laugh out loud and ponder, it felt surreal to watch. I dont remember last time I was so present in the moment while watching a piece of film. Truly wonderful!
Omg I have just turned 40 and I just stumbled across your videos today.... You have given me a whole new perspective on life. I have no idea how I got from 20 to 40 in such a short space of time. Dude I thought 40 was like REALLY OLD when I was young, but here I am, still feeling 25 in my head. But seeing how you are living your life and going on adventures and igniting that feeling of being a child again has got me thinking. When I watch you, I see my younger self. I miss that person. When did I become so adult like and serious? I have 2 small kids and I almost feel like im that parent that I had growing up. I want to be living and experiencing life through their eyes. Not through mine. I need to relive those times again. Adulting is fucking hard and overwhelming sometimes, but remembering who you are and why you are here and knowing that tomorrow you could literally fall over and die is enough to make me wake up again. So thank you for the reminder. You are super talented by the way, I love your creativity, humour and depth in your videos :)
i can honestly imagine commenting this one day bc i already feel like i have for some things when i see kids even younger than myself. and so being on the other side reading it, it gives me a lot of new perspective. best of luck with everything :)
This is art at its most, natalie just manages to express her self while making it entertaining for us, its just beautiful, i wish one day i get to meet this incredible, full of passion soul ❤
This episode is next level! Seriously some of the most aesthetically pleasing cinematography ever, and all of the storytelling and the tie back to the first shot is amazing. I'm not sure how you managed to make a video that makes it feel like everything is going to be okay and also tell me I'm dying but somehow you did haha
As a 21-year-old this is def a feeling that is valid. When I turned 20 it was a really weird feeling because you're not technically a teen but also you won't feel like a full adult. The feeling will set in tbh, it will feel like nothing and the phrase of "age is just a number" will be more true because you will meet people older or younger who are on the same wavelength as you or life situation. You'll meet people who are the same age but have a family or a successful relationship, this will be the age where you start to question your life progress as well. One thing I learnt from 1 year of being in my 20s is that 'you have to celebrate yourself, and don't let the background noises distract you' , one thing that I'm learning is to live life on my terms. As you approach your 20s you'll see more contrast between people who have a successful career or relationships, or even privileges, and it will take a lot of self power to not compare yourself. I still struggle with it but one thing that you have an advantage of is you have way more life experience, you have experienced life differently to those who stayed in Uni or stayed at home with their parents and that will get you ahead self-development and fulfillment wise.
how did you get those shots of the bridge?! they're unbelievable

The way she telling the story, cinematography and editing skills are on point. She have a talent.
this made me feel so uneasy duuude. absolutely insane how you were able to start off with giving me anxiety about inevitable death, yet proceed to portray the importance it has to making us appreciate life. i don't understand how you're able to wow me every. single. time. good job natalie :)
I love how you showed that depth of your emotions, feelings, fears, yet deep honor to life and it’s moment, and injected it all of it inside us through one video. That’s something I’m learning to do and dreaming for people to feel something and understand the meaning of life through the videos that I make.
All of the shots in your films are SO beautiful and creative!!! And the way you word your voiceovers is so inspirational and comforting😌 I love u😭
Why she's so under rated? She's so damn talented and her art conveys a lot and it hits right here❤️
It feels like Natalie has a full blown camera crew travelling everywhere with her filming her every move
I am extremely impressed by the talent that this girl has developed over many years.
It's like watching a mini movie on RUclips.
As a 19-year-old, this video hits home for me. It inspires me to do something crazy just because I can video coming out on that. Once I hit 20!
i wanna be able to document my life as artistically as she does. literal role model.
sobbing. i turn 20 in a few months and this hit the spot dude. i hope our stories cross paths one day. grateful for creators like you
This type of video style gives me so much nostalgia and excitement. I’m binging your stuff and this makes my desire to explore grow so strong. I’m genuinely happy for you to be experiencing such cool moments 😁
Man, I really can’t imagine how proud your folks and friends must be of you. This series is truly some of those most phenomenal filmmaking I’ve ever come across. Crazy authentic, genuine, honest, funny, engaging, and really really beautiful. ❤
Honestly one of the only truly unique RUclipsrs. The way you convey story through your editing. This isn’t vlogging. This is true, raw, filmmaking. At 20 years old to have this talent. The jealousy in me is unbelievable but is made better by how much joy each and every one of your videos gives me. I wish I could tell myself 10 years ago to go out and find adventure. It;s never too late to start living. I am terrified of death. But I’m hoping to live enough that it’s a peaceful goodbye with a smile on my face.
man natalie , i can’t even begin to tell you how much this one meant to me. i’ve been fearing death for a long time and honestly it just keeps me inside moping, but this makes me wanna get out and live more, and cherish each moment as it comes rather than just watching the clock and thinking “oh, this is gonna be over soon.” not to mention the shots and the editing are absolutely insane, you’re truly an idol to me and so many and i’d be lying if i said this didn’t bring a few tears to my eyes. absolutely beautiful job (:
for me related to this is i firmly feel our time is set n nothin can move it a sec this or that away
so wit this I try best to live life.
life is to be lived n not always stared at for a change of face
This comment will probably go unseen, but your video invoked such strong emotion in me. Almost bawling at the ending. I'm glad you're living your life to the fullest. Not many can say that.
I always love the colour grading from your videos
As someone who just recently turned 21 and has felt stuck for a while, you are really an inspiration. I think this is an absolutely wonderful series and a phenomenal video, whether it is part of the series or not. The mood, the editing, the music, the narration, just everything is perfect! I would've thought this was done by a professional crew! Thank you Natalie for sharing who you are and your journey with us all. I cannot wait to see what is next. Never stop being yourself, it would be a disservice to the world.
The 2 month wait for 20 minutes of adventures with Natalie and for free. Totally worth it
w
10:38 “i’ve never been ready for anything 😎” this made me genuinely laugh. you two have such a great friendship.
@@unkownels his name is Matthias! i’m not sure of the exact spelling though
@@unkownels it’s a possibility! in her video titled ‘I Left Everything To Live In A Van’ at 5:45, she introduces him to us as her friend, but i guess you never know hahah
This was an emotional rollercoaster. I absolutely love all your videos but this must have been the best one yet. I'm truly grateful for your existence and your art, keep going! Can't wait to turn 20 tomorrow and make my own version of this :)
always mesmerized by how deep and relatable your content is. Also, i love everything about the scenes and shots you create : colors, ambiance, filters and basically the whole screen is on point. As someone who doesn't live in USA, it just feel wild to see all those landscapes which seem to come out from a fictional movie. I am genuinely so grateful to know your work and creativity - i know those comments mean so much to you & i've always wanted to tell you how lucky we are to enjoy your content and share your thoughts. Hope life will always make you able to create stories to tell because oh lord, i'll always be there to love & support !! thanks, always. Eva from France
thank you so much eva
I am 20 this year. Either feeling confused or upset about the choices I made and going to make, I found a scary fact that it seems not too many things can make me laugh, laugh desperately, madly, and sincerely like I used to. My parents and friends said they hope me to still be that happy, positive and passionate me. I started to know natalie's short film from that LA trip vlog with jared several years ago, natalie indeed somewhat change how I perceived the world around me, inspiring me to find everything beautiful around me and record the valuable moments in my life. I think I still do not have a clear answer to my current state, hope I could find it soon since I plan to read books (about the meaning of life and the meaning of love) lol. But thanks for sharing your moments of life with us natalie, and hope everyone can get better and happier.
I turn 20 this December 20th, man I still have so much to figure out too and only wish I could partake in some of the many memories Natalie has experienced knowing we’re the same age. Happy birthday to her !! And I wish the best for you and your future!!
@@samanthasingleton5124 I'm too 20. So many people here are of same age 😄
@@samanthasingleton5124 Thank you so much Samantha, let's make our life meaningful！
@@gautam7087 Yeah; it's pretty cool! :)
@@aliks2712 Most definitely try to that is; lol :) Nothing but the best of wishes to you both!
This struck a chord with me. I am 20 now and have felt like I haven't grown up enough. I'm constantly stressed about the future and setting myself up for success. Everyone seems to have great expectations of me. Because of that, I have just been disappointing myself trying to meet those expectations and have gained the mindset that I'll never be good enough. It has caused me to go down a mental spiral of self-hatred, self-pity, anxiety, and insecurity. I have been searching for something to help me including constantly watching self-improvement videos or cleaning every inch of my house. I have been trying to figure out what I want my future to look like and what career I want to pursue even though I am not sure what I am interested in at all. I'm trying to do everything I possibly can to feel some sense of stability. But this video made me realize that stability is not living. I don't have to have my life together at 20. Most people our age don't anyway. I am going to die someday, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe when I am as old as dirt. But if I knew I was going to die today and looked back on everything I have done in my life, I would be completely disappointed in myself. I have sacrificed so much time into becoming someone I "needed" to be instead of appreciating who I truly am now. I may hate myself more than anyone else in this world but if I continue on the path of trying to "fix" myself, it isn't going to get any better. I want to be proud that I did that crazy thing I have never done before. I want to laugh about the time I almost died. I want to cherish that moment in time that will never happen again. I may never become that stable person with a successful career that makes a lot of money and lives in a gorgeous home and raises children with a successful, stable partner who also has their shit together. But starting now, I will do things I am embarrassed about doing. I will take risks that could lead to great things or not-so-great things. At least I will be able to look back fondly on my life and say that I have lived.
This young lady is so freaking talented it blows my mind!!!!
I've always thought I'm not afraid to die, but after watching this episode, my mind tells me something else. I'm not scared of dying because I've been waiting for it to happen. I'm not feeling fully alive because I keep waiting to die instead of looking for reasons to keep me feeling alive. This episode made me rethink what I should do while I'm here; alive and breathing. Thank you, Natalie, for contributing to my reasons to feel alive.
life a preparation for death
You are extremely talented in both shooting/editing and storytelling. It is so poetic that I actually wanna cry, lol. I came across your videos by chance and every time I watch one of them, I literally get chills. You're doing what I've always dreamt of and my mind is blown away by your creativity. I wish you a happy birthday and hope you enjoy the uncertain days ahead :)
Hey Natalie, first I wanted to say that I saw the video "I became everything I ever wanted" and your editing is astonishing! Keep it up!
Second I wanted to say I really sympathize with being in that dark place. Sometimes it feels like everything is against you. It really sucks, but it has purpose. You're not alone! I am Christian and when I saw you in that video I very strongly prayed for you, and I will continue to. I care very much about you and I want to see you succeed!
I am just 20
Just moved to the Netherlands
Barley have a friend
So hope to have someone in the future to live all these things that you've experienced with!
Much of love
Ah yeah! I always love a good masterclass in editing whenever Natalie posts.
These past few months I've come to actually see how fragile life is. My brother was involved in an accident and got a pretty servere brain injury at just 16 years old. It was nothing but an accident and it was terrifying. Seeing him hours before his accident then to seeing him in the hospital and thinking I may never hear his voice again. He is okay, and is out of the hospital now and we celebrated his 17th birthday just a month ago, a birthday we didn't think he was going to get. Your videos are one of a kind and are such a true inspiration to me and many others, you have a true talent. Your videos inspire me to create, live life like it is a film and see the beauty in the small details.
This is genuinely incredible
I’m crying as I’m watching this because this is truly my goal in life, living on the go, connecting with nature and exploring the beauty of life and what it has to offer.
I just turned 20 and never been able to feel alive, or even live my life. I’m stuck at home dealing with chronic physical illnesses and mental illness for the rest of my life.
Can’t do much at all. But I find comfort in watching other people live the life I’ve always dreamed of
your videos make me want to actually live life instead of letting life live me
Tbh it’s rl hard to find videos that can not only keep you interested for more than 15 min but actually be inspirational and beautiful. Your videos are feel like watching a movie. The quality, the artistic clips, the voice over behind them.. they are so comforting yet motivating. Thank you
this is actually the most captivating and beautiful blog I've ever watched, thank you
Awesome you're making it count! See you on the road!
I have goosebumps right now. This video is speaking directly to my soul. I totally agree with you on releasing the inner child again and I am totally scared of death. I mean like „I am so scared I get panic attacks“ kind of afraid. So I really love your thoughts you share in this video and how you visualized all of this. Sending much love and greetings to you from Germany. I’m already looking forward to seeing your upcoming excperience as a 20 year old human being. 👋🏼
Every single one of your films is a masterpiece. The shots, the colors, the storytelling, the music... Well done, you're defenitely doing your thing!! Thank you for these moments.
WOW! Every time I watch one of your videos it sends chills down my spine. I love the edits, the music, the sounds, literally everything about your videos, and I could watch them forever. This video also helped me feel alive just by watching it. The beauty in life, conquering your fears, and going after your dreams. Very inspirational, you have no idea. Thank you!
Every moment is beautiful, thank you for that.
these videos hit me so hard. i dont know what it is. every time i watch your videos i feel simultaneously full and empty. i feel nostalgic for an experience i never had. i pine for a life i never lived. it makes me rethink how i’ve used the time in my life. i feel my life is 1/3rd over and while ive experienced a lot and left behind a large body of creative work already, every day i know i could be doing more, living more, experiencing more, creating more, and being more. its hard to watch your content because it makes me re-examine my place in the world, my work, what i want, what i need, what’s important, etc. no other content creators hit me like this. great work as always natalie.
I love this, I just found this video, I'm 17 and I haven't celebrated my birthday in like ages u make me want to feel more alive to do more, I want to look back when I'm older at my younger years and not feel regret, thank you, Ur an incredible filmmaker u conveyed so many emotions to me in that 20 minutes
My favorite creator and inspirational so far❤
i just found your channel, and i watched through the entire borderless series before watching this one. you are someone that i have so much in common with even never meeting you, and i think this video changed my entire perspective on life. thank you so much u random stranger
Fantastic. I love that you put feeling into these rather than just throwing content together. ✌🏻
was listening to this young singer yesterday
she did a cover of witney houston which blew me tha away 👆 but anyway what i notice is the depth of her feelin
They way she transports you somewhere else with her narration and editing, it is like taking a walk along with her on all the adventures she's having. The talent and skill she possess I truly wish for her to be known to the world!!
Your filming skills are great. Your editing skills are just one of the most beautiful things I have seen in life. Watching this made me feel alive. Best of luck in where you're at in life rn :)
i am LOVING the music choices, so many favourites aaah
The little details!!! I re-watched this and noticed that the sounds at 15:25 are a clock ticking / heartbeat... Which kinda links to the meaning of the video. Natalie puts so much thought into what she creates - it's something special :)
I love how every video of yours feels like a full-on movie! I love this kind of realistic but cinematic storytelling 🔥
Dear Natalie, I used to have the exact thoughts when growing up and the things that you do are one big dream but I am so so happy that you actually put your thoughts into action and that you inspire us to do the same. Such movies, pictures, videos are the things that remind me from time to time what life is about, not fitting in, not doing the basics that everybody does, not just focusing on the way we look or what others will think of us, we are meant to be free, to feel good and comfortable with every decision and to reach for the stars. Hope to see even more of such clever and meaningful videos from you. Happy Birthday🎂
As 13 year old girl literally called Natalie, that has huge dreams of travel, safe to say this channel has made the single biggest impact on my life out of anything I have ever watched. Thank you.
there are two quotes that I remember while watching this "some things are more precious because they don't last long" by Oscar Wilde and, "Does it matter? If life is enjoyable, does it have to make sense?".
I'm out of words Natalie, i honest think this is one of your best videos so far, in every sense- you've captured what is like to fear death but also how it is to truly live, because I think the majority of us just exist but you, you are living a true life, and that's a ridiculously hard (and easy) thing to do.
this film is inspiring, truly.
Wow, the editing and storytelling in this video is just on another level!
Genuinely awe inspiring cinematography. I'm bordering 20 now so this video resonated a good bit. Something about how you conveyed it and the visual representations just suited it so well.
I had seen some videos of yours before but just subscribed this was amazing!
"If we spend our entire life fearing death, we'll never realize what it's like to truly live" this couldn't have been more true
Beautifully Inspiring as usual. As someone who just turned 26, I’ve always been one whos tried to keep my ‘youthfulness’ throughout the years cos I value that childlike attitude in me towards the world. I’ve always been afraid I would lose it one day but not yet. I was most happiest in my life when I truly didn’t give a fuck and did shit I wanted to do without even a thought of second guessing my impulsivity. It led me to some of my favourite moments in life. So cool to see you on your adventures doing the things I’ve never had the balls to do. Looking forward to the next one as always, stay safe
RUclips recommended me this video and I'm so happy I clicked on it.
The scenes, the colours, the music, the way you narrate, it fits all together and creates a masterpiece. The way you talk about death; it's an important theme, but it seems to be a tabù and it's rarely talked about. The scenes on the bridge left me without breath, watching them made me think "wow, this is shots are so beautiful" while I also felt a shiver.
This is probably the best video/short film I ever seen here on YT, and I hope that one day I will be able to create something as captivating and beautiful as this.
This video made me cry. The storytelling, the message, the music. This film touched me.
How did it take me this long to find this channel?
The colours, music choice, everything is on point.
I really don't understand how one can create such greatness.
At a time when my dad just passed away, I'm glad I found your video. Your videos are always masterpieces and always so well done. One of the few channels, where I feel completely immersed in the experience.
the way nothing matters and we all die is comforting, all we really need is a little bit of something that makes us happy everyday
This is the most beautiful film I ever saw on this platform, I can't think of anything to say other than WOW!!! It is also well shot and you really deserve that award from the festival , much live from here in the Philippines to there :)))
salaamaat
I’ve been really struggling with my mental health these past three years but ur videos really give me hope and just make me want to live my life to the fullest so thank you for that!!
Hang in there ❤
I wish that Netflix would hire you. you're edits are the best level of escapism I've ever come across. it's so real and raw, it's what I needed. Thank you.😌also, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY.
One of the most sweetest videos i've ever seen
Absolutely agree with yhe not taking life seriously. I just turned 18 and it was so anticlimactic. I feel like when we put too much pressure and thought on something it builds up this expectation that will probably get broken. When we go through life just enjoying the moment and not worrying, a lot will surprise us in a good way
Same other there ! Just turned 18 and i strongly agree ! Sorry if there's some mistakes im from france 😅😂 but i wish you Luck in your New adult life !
ahh perfect timing. just sat down at a cafe and watching your videos is exactly what I need to forget about the way my life is right now
I feel you! Life is crazy and fast and overwhelming and exhausting sometimes and it’s things like this that really help you keep going
Sending lots of love support and virtual hugs
I study video production at the moment in Germany and I just cannot express how much this short movie connected with a very deep feeling I have had for the last years. The cinematography is beautiful and if I ever will be able to create something, that touches people as much as this touched me, I won't have to fear any regrets. Love from Europe.
Wow. I’m glad you came across my feed. I really appreciate that the editing just feels right. I can’t describe it any other way at the moment. Thank you for what you do. Keep going.
Being only 20, I am shocked how much I connected with your story here and me being almost 39! Great job and it would be really cool for you to revisit this subject 5-10 years from now. I can tell you death is always there and it takes on a whole new meaning when you have your own children. We are all on this adventure we call life but we all enter and exit it alone. Look forward to your next video!
