    don't know if anyone else feels this way but just wanted to throw this out there, into the world. anyone feels like hitomi is helping them heal and challenge their agoraphobia? it's really sweet and healing to see her exist in the world softly without fear. it inspires me to challenge myself more often.

    • @shelly3446
      @shelly3446 Год назад +30

      I feel the same way. I've always been super closed off to strangers and in literal survival mode out in public, but it's like Hitomi's opened a portal to a world where we can be open to one another despite unfamiliarity and drop our walls a little. I'm so glad someone else feels the same way

      Fellow agoraphobic!!! I haven't really started challenging my agoraphobia yet as it just seems too overwhelming but I agree with you :)

    I had a small conversation with this old man during the summer in the emergency room and he told me that now at the end of his life he felt the divine energy was what he called TRUE LOVE the possitive against the negative and it just stuck with me I don’t remember everything he told me but it felt very spiritual

    As an introverted & shy person, your videos are so inspiring to see. I love the idea of a confident introvert - that resonates so hard as a mode of being I'd like to try on! Thank you for taking us along and letting us see into these windows of your life

  • @senecastraub1387
    @senecastraub1387 Год назад +28

    I resonate so deeply at 8:33 - acting on your curiosity, finally feeling confident enough to talk to strangers and initiate conversations. A year ago I wouldn’t have believed I could do it - but I am. Thank you Hitomi for sharing these parts of your journey. ❤

    wow that little passage of what you wrote, really reminded me of An Apprenticeship or The Book of Pleasures by Clarise Lispector. Being curious to learn to appreciate human interactions is just pure joy, as if you're experiencing being a human for the first time sometimes

  • @emmalouise88
    @emmalouise88 Год назад +10

    I know you've touched on this subject before (and if there's a more direct discussion, I apologise) but I would love a video on how you move about in the world on your own? Not only in terms of safety but how to be comfortable with yourself and going to places alone? I find it so hard to do things solo but it's something I really want to learn how to do so I'd love to hear your perspective on it 💜

  • @ColbiCheri

    My dad is a very charismatic man (hippy grateful deadhead musician gardener🤣) and growing up I would get so embaressed by his banter with strangers and speaking to people in Spanish when he heard it as he’s fluent but as I grow I become him and I talk to strangers too and realize what a beautiful fullness it is

    I feel like you have been raiding my bookshelf, I am reading ACOTAR series right now, and Braiding Sweet Grass is sitting on my shelf. I am also reading Latin American Folktales, an anthropology by John Bierhorst which has been so fun to read a little here and there. Thank you for sharing yourself with us today, much love 💛

    I wish I was as wise as you at your age. I turn 40 next March and (although age and time are a construct) after making a massive move to Peru (you have to come and stay next time you're here, I'm in Arequipa) I feel like my life took a massive shift and I HAVE to face my demons and progress on this journey of awakening. People are dropping off like flies and it's scary but I refuse inauthenticity. What you said about relationships really touched my heart. Thanks for being a beacon of hope for a lot of us ❤️

    11:33 “I just feel like I’m learning to be more brave because I’m learning to be myself despite what anyone might expect of me or want to hear from me”
    This means the world to me and so beautifully encapsulates what I have been growing into for the last 6 months or so. I feel like this is an “IYKYK” moment. I have ADHD (just diagnosed) and anxiety/social anxiety which has been diagnosed for almost 3 years. I feel so alienated and odd at times and it can break my heart. But learning to hold compassion for myself has been so healing. It’s a beautiful cycle I have found myself in lately where I wonder why I’m so chipper and outgoing until I realize it’s because I’m happy. 😌
    So yeah, I’m glad I thought to come to Hitomi’s channel for some peaceful reflection that was precisely what I needed to hear 🥰

    I’ve been watching your content since 2017 and I’ve seen you grow so much as a person. It seems as though we’ve gone through so many of the same things, and you’ve inspired me to handle things differently and heal myself rather than falling into sadness about life’s suffering. I’m so grateful for your content, you are and have been my role model and inspiration for life and I will forever be grateful for you.

Even when sleeping, I’ve been putting your vids on:)

    19:40 this place looks so much like the place Leah from Leah's Fieldnotes stayed in .. last year? Probably last year. Anyone watching both too having some deja vu? I remember that her host was a chef so it would make sense..
    I just get way too curious about these kinda things...
    Anyway, since I'm commenting already:
    Such a great video, a portal to a life I don't yet dare to dream of. Feeling so inspired and uplifted.
    I always try my best to bring that energy back into my own life taking the little steps to create more of what I desire.
    Thank you!
