Just the other day I was looking at old pictures with my brothers, and I realized that we stopped taking pictures together. Now after watching this video, I feel like it's a sign for me to start capturing moments of my life in pictures and videos again for appreciate the details of life. Thanks
I've had a calling to start documenting the "boring" stuff in my day as well! we gotta start normalizing being normal. so cool how your video popped on on my feed. I loved this and your editing!
I've been feeling the exact way. Not today or yesterday but for the past few months. I'm graduating from high school. Attending a college soon after. I've done so much and grown a lot as well but it feels like a long blur to me. Nowadays I would try to find free time to write in a journal or online document so I won't have another blur and I can appreciate the small things in life. And look back in 10 years with a smile and gratitude for being able to go back in time. Time is precious and you can't cheat or buy your way to have more of it.
Just found you randomly in my recommended, amazing video! I also want to capture those beautiful little moments and memories throughout my life. Its beautiful to look back on it. The past few years of my life, I lost the passion to care about capturing moments very similar to you, and a lot of it is lost to history sadly, but my recent relationship with my boyfriend has revived my passion and love for capturing the small moments in life. Now even the simplest of moments of love, joy, or sadness, I capture photographs or jot my thoughts in a journal. It’s a beautiful feeling, and awesome to look back on.
Ok, normally I don’t comment on videos, like ever, but for this one, I’ve never related more, neither felt so inspired to comment, because I feel the need you should know I really appreciate the fact that you put this video together to encourage people to document life. So thank you Brennen 😊. I’ve always been the person to have a camera out, in every small, or big event in my life. And ever since as I’ve grown up, I noticed I do it less and less, because the people around me either tell me, live in the moment, or there’s no need to document this. I feel more like myself when I have the camera out, talking and entertaining. I’m not a RUclipsr myself, but I maybe in the future, let’s see what the future holds, but thank you, so much, the authenticity in this video has sparked once again the authenticity in me to film my life more, even the small parts of it :)
heyy I have just read your comment and it was truly resonating, I'm in this kind of stage too right now only that I now have a start! Wish me luck in documenting my 20s ^^
your video was randomly recommended to me and hitted me straight where it hurts. i also loved doing videos as a kid but after i grew up i stopped. now that i'm traveling by myself for the first time, i feel the urge of documenting the most i can (especially those little moments), but for some reason i dont have the courage to do it properly. seeing this video makes me feel like im not alone with this, i'm really looking forward to your next videos (:
I relate to this so much Mariana, I put away “kid things” to grow up, only to realize that our kid selves actually held the key to who we’re meant to be, all along! I hope this gives you the confidence to pick up your camera again because no one else’s opinions can lead your life, but you can!
Documenting has tremendously helped me in my weight loss journey. It keeps me motivated and accountable. I have never been able to get as close to my fitness goal as I have today, and it is all thanks to documenting my journey. Thank you for making this video. I recommend everyone to document their journey, whether it is privately or publicly. I promise it will be a powerful tool for your growth and change everything, and you might help others along the way.
I totally feel you about the change in videos and photos from then to now. I keep going back and forth between ‘enjoying the moment’ and ‘capturing the moment’ to look back at and remember these moments later
This came up in my timeline, and I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been wanting to get into content creation and making vlogs for YEARS; have snippets of videos in my phone that I could put together into 1 project, but I have to get over that fear of disapproval from others, and the fear of failure. I don’t want to keep sitting on videos I know I would enjoy to look back on, even if I’m the only viewer. I think you just gave me the push I needed to take that first step. Thank you Brennan. I wish you luck in your journey!
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 337 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Really?! That's incredible!! I hope you continue to make videos that make you happy and videos about development, you're gonna go a long with this I just wanna say whatever you're doing, please keep doing and dont let other people say otherwise, you have a special spark in you and i hope you continue to make it shine, I dont know you but what you are doing is amazing please don't stop as long as you are happy
@@springyroll3412 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my RUclips channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a RUclipsr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this RUclips thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
Good video. I feel the same way. I was looking back at old photos of myself. I was reminded of things I enjoyed. I document daily by journaling. Keep doing what's best for you ❤😊
In 2019, I went through a very dark time in my life. At that time, I didn't want to leave any records of any memory that would remind the future me. But now, looking back, I wish I did. I wish I could tell myself that the struggle and downs had strengthened me. Your video has truly inspired me to take more photos and videos of the little moments of my life.
I relate so much. I used to film everything, I loved it. And now I have't for like 6 years. I barely recognize myself sometimes. I've been slowly starting but you have just motivated me even more. Thank you :)
Today I decided to go to gym and honestly was not feeling it. It's 5am and I've been experiencing some dips in my mental health and have also been trying to connect with my inner child again. This video is a small full of joy and it will definitely fuel me today. Thank you
Tip for the gym when you don’t want to go, think it like this, the future version of myself will thank me for going to the gym today. Delayed gratification, doing things now that may seem hard or undesirable that will benefit your future.
The algorithm likes you! I'm doing the same thing, but I haven't began posting it yet. It's honestly been an amazing year. There are a million moments that you would've forgotten without documenting them, and a million more that are romanticized or even amplified by being recorded. It's a great decision. You'll cherish these moments forever.
I am thankful to youtube for recommending me this. This was so beautifully created and you are so beautiful. Thank you for taking out time and making such wholesome content. And this really made me realise how i was not making my everyday worth it.
Great message and a great reminder for me to get back into the habit of documenting my own life more and remembering to find those pockets of joy within the mundane
I wish I could put into words how profoundly this resonated with me. I cried then I laughed then I cried. You managed to communicate what I normally experience takes 20 minutes of connection and story in under 6 minutes. Thank you for sharing your vision and your well-said words
Thank you for inspiring me. I have been stalling the idea of documenting cause you know I felt nothing was aesthetic enough. I guess I was wrong. Thank you again. ❤
I literally was thinking about doing this and making a video exactly like this. This really shows how valuable it is to document those moments I was unsure were worth remembering or sharing. Thank you for creating this.
You have a talent in writing down what's on your mind. Some people might disagree but since we're living in wilderness in mass media and fast consumptions. I strongly had a moment when i heard your voice narration. It's authentic , calm and peaceful. I feel it's a genuine skill that you have built up for sure. Well this is my first video I saw couldn't wait to see another. Great work Thumbs up from South Korea. cheers !
So happy to stumble into this video! I take lots of photos and videos in the past more compared to now. It just felt like people were judging if I take pictures/videos of the "boring" things we see everyday. I have every file from the past and everytime I see it, I wanted to be that person again. To be different and see the "boring" stuff. To save it when it felt like it was a useless clip/photo. Now, I learned to take my time and ask myself everytime I didn't take the picture, is it because I really didn't like to take the photo or its the comments from other people saying that "it's boring, why are you taking a photo/video of this?" So, thank you for making this video. Here's to documenting everything! ❤
Thank you for sharing small joy moments with us. Sometimes I forget life also needs them to be fulfilled. You're inspiring me, and that's why i just subscribed.
During high school I started documented everything I did by journaling until COVID happened. And I barely write in my journal because I find that there's nothing interesting in my days in quarantine. But little did I know that those boring days is also important.
this video was really well done. thought provoking and moving. thank you for sharing it Brennen.. I believe societal pressure among other things is main reason for this.. it's constant push to grow up and be mature and responsible has stole our fun out of life.. and placed it in a box within. as you showed so well. but it's still there! waiting to be opened.. I say find ways to nurture your inner child. have more fun and do more of what you love and you will soon be able to throw away that box..
i love your channel sm. im a small youtuber myself and i see so much of me in you. i love documenting so much but ive seen the phases of it. i was so much into it 4-5 years ago and i stopped in between. im getting back to it through youtube now and have been lovin git more than ever. much love to u and everyone reading this, xd
Randomly stumbled upon this video. The comment around becoming more aware of the world around you and holding it all in will resonate with so many people, myself included. We become busy and self conscious - not allowing us the opportunity to reflect. People should feel ok to be their whole authentic self - no judgement.
Maan, I've been documenting through videos my whole past year with my old Nikon, I have also a FCKN LOT of randomic recorded conversations from more than 4 year ago. I think that I've being doing this because day after day I feel like the life is sliping through my fingers. It is unstopable. And during all my most memorable days I constantly asked myself "How could I capture a moment?". Moments are people, energy and feelings. They are imaterial. But shit, during this process I just realized exactly what you said. We should document everything to never forget what we ended up never ceasing to be. Thanks a lot for your sharing, maybe the next one is mine
I love this Brennen! We think we have to have this extraordinary life for it to be meaningful, and yet you are showing that the extraordinary IS actually found in the ordinary, NOT in the big moments we hold our breath for. Thank you for this brother!! Keep creating (and thanks for Re inspiring me to, too!)
Nice message. I also came to realize how important the mundane parts are. It’s so special to look back on those things and be reminded of that simple moment.
this was a heartfelt video - thanks for sharing! I know i used to be really bubbly as a kid and when I hit my teen years, the self consciousness took over and I would close myself off. It's def still a work in progress to overcome that!
If you're on good terms with your past, cherish that shit 🥰 When I see pictures of the past, I get sad and anxious, so it's not for me, but it really sounds like it's working for you and I think that's what it's about. We all need something we can be passionate about and which helps us manage with going through time and with what that means as a human being.
This was great bro. Made me realise how i also swayed away from being myself when the thoughts of others and doubt came into my life. Thank you for this.
This showed up in my recommended at such a perfect time. I relate to your story so much - I also grew up with a camera in my hand and a love of journaling, but stopped documenting my life about 5 years ago after a series of unpleasant events. Lately I’ve been thinking about how unspeakably much I miss it all. Physical traces of memories form such an important part of who we are, and without them life feels so empty.
Powerful video. I'm on a similar journey, where I track my life through habits on a spreadsheet. It's brought my closer to my own higher ideal. Best of luck on your journey.
Nice video, i liked it. Recently i've been so intrested in such things, especially after some family and personal problems, and i has been thinking deeply about the reason we do stuff. I think that almost all our actions are somehow related to someone else, and actually are related to us, and i mean that the nice feeling that we get from doing something for someone else is the reason we do stuff. I don't know why i am saying this philosiphy but what i know is that anything in life becomes worth it when it is related to someone else.
Love these channels like yours. I've been recently focusing on bettering aspects of my life and seeing other do the same and recording them gives me a huge boost in motivation. Maybe one day I will also try to record it and see how it goes, Maybe its something cool to watch for my kids later.
The things that I had packed away I won’t get to go find again to got through because they got burnt up in a fire by burglars. The best I can do is trying to find other parts that I had that didn’t get burned because they were with me or close to me and trying to find the duplicates of childhood toys that did get lost in the fire of my family’s dream house that they were constantly trying to build throughout my life, but I’ll never be able to see my elementary school work or even preschool art. Unless my mom saved one or two before her stroke in February 2016. The closest I can do is look at the remaining photo albums that we have in our current house. This video is great for bringing out the words that have lingered in my mind and heart for a while now. Thank you Brennen Lee for helping me with my thoughts about my feelings about the lost time I had you helped me feel like I’m not alone with this.
this is beautifully created! loving documenting the moments that I could at the moment because the people who I am with are making every moment extra special. thank you for this light!
Honestly this me at the momment right now i've been looking at things in a diffrent light now,after a 2-3 year old break up that im going through right now, has help me realize so much new things not only that it made me try new things that i have never tried but recently i do want to get back into youtube,i always had lots of fun but at the moment im not sure where to start but i know i will start posting more thses days.not only that i want to find new people who like doing content like this it really inspires me to try and push through not only that but also help those around me,sorry this long haha.i just have so much to say but i havent been on social media for about 6 months and wow what i can say it has helped me to learn how to love being by myself and well enjoying life and enjoying the little things in life.its been amazing not being on it or either be on my phone as much like it taught me a lot not only that but also these videos helped me to learn so much so thank you so much! i hope to do the same thing you do on youtube and give adive to those who need to hear it so thank you! ooops sorry if this long :)
I have virtually no photos/videos from my childhood because back then I thought I was ugly and I was embarrassed of myself. I wish I could go back and take more pictures and record more happy moments. Even though I wish I could change the past, I’m glad I learned to love myself and started documenting my life again.
Inspring, monumental! Keep up the amazing work. You'll be changing lives in no time. One of the pieces of advice I give every single client as a clinical psychologist is to write things down, record voice memo's, take pictures. It helps with standing still and realizing what's happening and what we are doing, one of the aspects of life often overlooked.
so its been a year since i've started recording myself, i mean like placing the mobile in a corner and me talking about stuff and its basically like a vlog. i want to document myself too but i stay with my family and i dont wanna do it infront of them they'll just say im silly and doing stupide stuff so i'll start doing this when i start living by myself. documenting yourself is really a good things. thanks to youtube for recommending this beautiful random video.
wtf im crying at the sweet video of kid u being adorable. reminds me of my lil bro. when we grow up we’re taught to stuff our true selves away in fear that our real natural curiosity, our brand new love for the moment as it is, we were taught it was not good enough and that everything should be different. i too am discovering my inner child and letting her free from fear of judgement. you’re awesome. i love this so much! ❤
Dude you’re so lucky, you get to travel in a car and move from place to place, I’m struggling to even get a bike to go to the park or my favourite forest. Hopefully I get to that point I’d be able to, by bike and one day by car. This video is just showing me how much I truly just want to be free..
You know, because of my psychological problems, I woke up one day as a 34-year-old ... with no memories. I didn't remember much of my life, not because I'd been in a car accident or anything. I realized that I was so stressed out, so dissociated and not living my life ... that I just didn't remember anything. I recently bought myself a camera. And your videos will motivate me even more to record my life.
really nice video Lee. I really enjoy documenting my life and I'm glad i started it a few years ago. Even if no one watches those videos, at least I WILL be able to remember how my life used to be once upon a time! :)
thank you for sharing your journey with us 🥲 I was always on camera as a kid as well. As I got older, I went through really bad times... I almost took my own life...I am so glad I didn't I lost my way and now I feel at home. I did it all alone! I got out the dark hole. Now, im okay with being isolated with peace and joy. We found the light within us. love you Brennen Lee! #WEAREONE
cool video. I've been documenting a lot of my life for over a year. I haven't been doing it lately so I'm glad I saw this video as a reminder to get back. Can't wait to see where you go!
I don't know if I've ever watched a RUclips video before and thought, "Damn, I want to be their friend" but those were my exact thoughts watching this.
Its a great time to live in, where we have transcended so much that we can document whatever we do in our daily lives. Life is chaotic at moments and boring too, I just dont wanna lose my creativity I had in my childhood. I used to be hyperactive kid, but now that's gone idk where. Before watching this video, i myself realised that Humans are such a complex and by far the biggest gift our nature has given to this planet. All the creations we see around are all made by those two hands and intelligence of human brains. I do feel I am wasting my powers , who knows what are my capabilities. I would love to just explore all sorts lf things this Planet has to show, and still I am here sitting and waiting for that exact moment. You realise that moment won't come on its own, I have to make that up, I am the Mc of my life, time is in my hands, and its on me how i am spending it.
This is amazing, I think that it is something I have thought about but never really deeply and this is inspiring me to try and do it more. It's amazing to hear about how you've done it and your story.
Yo bro that was so beautiful. Ive been thinking recently in starting a journey like this of my own and this video really inspires me to make that thought a reality. Thank you for sharing this! Youre great and i wish you all the best ❤️
Just the other day I was looking at old pictures with my brothers, and I realized that we stopped taking pictures together. Now after watching this video, I feel like it's a sign for me to start capturing moments of my life in pictures and videos again for appreciate the details of life. Thanks
my goal is to edit video footage the way i see things through my eye vision.
@@GrowtopiaCreamlady great goal, i may steal this for myself too.
Ditto and amen!
I've had a calling to start documenting the "boring" stuff in my day as well! we gotta start normalizing being normal. so cool how your video popped on on my feed. I loved this and your editing!
25 subscribers?! 47 views?!?!!?! Just wow. I hope this video blows up your channel cause this was so good!
Now 105 subscribers
you were right! :)

yup, I'm starting to realize how precious time is
I'm in the same situation and I recently realized that I barely remember the last 7 years of my life

Thank you for the motivation, this video was very powerful.
Glad it helped!
i love your channel sm. im a small youtuber myself and i see so much of me in you. i love documenting so much but ive seen the phases of it. i was so much into it 4-5 years ago and i stopped in between. im getting back to it through youtube now and have been lovin git more than ever.
much love to u and everyone reading this,
xd
The peace you've found in this is refreshing.
"how important these boring times" - true
Randomly stumbled upon this video.
The comment around becoming more aware of the world around you and holding it all in will resonate with so many people, myself included.
We become busy and self conscious - not allowing us the opportunity to reflect. People should feel ok to be their whole authentic self - no judgement.
I dont really care about myself after my death. But everything before that last question resonated with me a lot, thanks for sharing :)
So glad I stumbled upon this. This was refreshing. - Judah
Maan, I've been documenting through videos my whole past year with my old Nikon, I have also a FCKN LOT of randomic recorded conversations from more than 4 year ago. I think that I've being doing this because day after day I feel like the life is sliping through my fingers. It is unstopable. And during all my most memorable days I constantly asked myself "How could I capture a moment?". Moments are people, energy and feelings. They are imaterial. But shit, during this process I just realized exactly what you said. We should document everything to never forget what we ended up never ceasing to be. Thanks a lot for your sharing, maybe the next one is mine
I love this Brennen! We think we have to have this extraordinary life for it to be meaningful, and yet you are showing that the extraordinary IS actually found in the ordinary, NOT in the big moments we hold our breath for. Thank you for this brother!! Keep creating (and thanks for Re inspiring me to, too!)
Exactly how I would put it!
Nice message. I also came to realize how important the mundane parts are. It’s so special to look back on those things and be reminded of that simple moment.
this was a heartfelt video - thanks for sharing! I know i used to be really bubbly as a kid and when I hit my teen years, the self consciousness took over and I would close myself off. It's def still a work in progress to overcome that!
Thank you, this was sorely needed for me.
Glad it was helpful!
yesss documenting life changes everything, photos, videos of happy and sad things
If you're on good terms with your past, cherish that shit 🥰 When I see pictures of the past, I get sad and anxious, so it's not for me, but it really sounds like it's working for you and I think that's what it's about. We all need something we can be passionate about and which helps us manage with going through time and with what that means as a human being.
I'm crying, this is beautiful! thank you!
This was great bro. Made me realise how i also swayed away from being myself when the thoughts of others and doubt came into my life. Thank you for this.
This showed up in my recommended at such a perfect time. I relate to your story so much - I also grew up with a camera in my hand and a love of journaling, but stopped documenting my life about 5 years ago after a series of unpleasant events. Lately I’ve been thinking about how unspeakably much I miss it all. Physical traces of memories form such an important part of who we are, and without them life feels so empty.
ahhh so incredibly wholesome!! happy tears!!
I was just saying the same thing. I need to document more. Thanks for sharing.
Well-said Brennen! Excited to see how else you document and share your life :)
I found this vid in my recommended, i lime the aesthetics! Good job :)
Woww! First time watcher. Thanks for creating this beautiful short film. It really made me realize how precious thelittle moments are. 💛
Powerful video. I'm on a similar journey, where I track my life through habits on a spreadsheet. It's brought my closer to my own higher ideal. Best of luck on your journey.
I normally never comment on these but this is truly beautiful and I’m in awe of this video.
Nice video, i liked it.
Recently i've been so intrested in such things, especially after some family and personal problems, and i has been thinking deeply about the reason we do stuff. I think that almost all our actions are somehow related to someone else, and actually are related to us, and i mean that the nice feeling that we get from doing something for someone else is the reason we do stuff. I don't know why i am saying this philosiphy but what i know is that anything in life becomes worth it when it is related to someone else.
my dad died last month and this video hit deep - literally got me goosebumps
Love these channels like yours. I've been recently focusing on bettering aspects of my life and seeing other do the same and recording them gives me a huge boost in motivation.
Maybe one day I will also try to record it and see how it goes, Maybe its something cool to watch for my kids later.
👏🏽🌟 I like how you did that! Definitely important to document the journey!
Such a powerful message and well executed video. Thank you brother, you are an inspiration. I’m joining you on the journey 🎥⚡️
Welcome aboard!
Thank you. This really hit home.
I loved this video. It shows how you are bringing yourself back to life and see the wholeness of all the moments that life holds!!
Yes it will totally change your life, filming is something you start pay attention things in detail ❤
The things that I had packed away I won’t get to go find again to got through because they got burnt up in a fire by burglars. The best I can do is trying to find other parts that I had that didn’t get burned because they were with me or close to me and trying to find the duplicates of childhood toys that did get lost in the fire of my family’s dream house that they were constantly trying to build throughout my life, but I’ll never be able to see my elementary school work or even preschool art. Unless my mom saved one or two before her stroke in February 2016. The closest I can do is look at the remaining photo albums that we have in our current house. This video is great for bringing out the words that have lingered in my mind and heart for a while now. Thank you Brennen Lee for helping me with my thoughts about my feelings about the lost time I had you helped me feel like I’m not alone with this.
this is beautifully created! loving documenting the moments that I could at the moment because the people who I am with are making every moment extra special. thank you for this light!
Honestly this me at the momment right now i've been looking at things in a diffrent light now,after a 2-3 year old break up that im going through right now, has help me realize so much new things not only that it made me try new things that i have never tried but recently i do want to get back into youtube,i always had lots of fun but at the moment im not sure where to start but i know i will start posting more thses days.not only that i want to find new people who like doing content like this it really inspires me to try and push through not only that but also help those around me,sorry this long haha.i just have so much to say but i havent been on social media for about 6 months and wow what i can say it has helped me to learn how to love being by myself and well enjoying life and enjoying the little things in life.its been amazing not being on it or either be on my phone as much like it taught me a lot not only that but also these videos helped me to learn so much so thank you so much! i hope to do the same thing you do on youtube and give adive to those who need to hear it so thank you! ooops sorry if this long :)
Photography is therapeutic... Never stop buddy and best wishes
I have virtually no photos/videos from my childhood because back then I thought I was ugly and I was embarrassed of myself. I wish I could go back and take more pictures and record more happy moments. Even though I wish I could change the past, I’m glad I learned to love myself and started documenting my life again.
Inspring, monumental! Keep up the amazing work. You'll be changing lives in no time. One of the pieces of advice I give every single client as a clinical psychologist is to write things down, record voice memo's, take pictures. It helps with standing still and realizing what's happening and what we are doing, one of the aspects of life often overlooked.
so its been a year since i've started recording myself, i mean like placing the mobile in a corner and me talking about stuff and its basically like a vlog. i want to document myself too but i stay with my family and i dont wanna do it infront of them they'll just say im silly and doing stupide stuff so i'll start doing this when i start living by myself. documenting yourself is really a good things.
thanks to youtube for recommending this beautiful random video.
Documenting myself is defined something I’m getting used to doing in front of people
Great storytelling mate
wtf im crying at the sweet video of kid u being adorable. reminds me of my lil bro. when we grow up we’re taught to stuff our true selves away in fear that our real natural curiosity, our brand new love for the moment as it is, we were taught it was not good enough and that everything should be different. i too am discovering my inner child and letting her free from fear of judgement. you’re awesome. i love this so much! ❤
What a pure soul. I enjoy watching your silly, goofy self so much!
I have been thinking about what you said, for the past few months. I really appreciate that you are doing this.
You're brave and an awesome human being, thank you so much for reminding us what is really important in life and don't extinguish our inner flame
Dude you’re so lucky, you get to travel in a car and move from place to place, I’m struggling to even get a bike to go to the park or my favourite forest. Hopefully I get to that point I’d be able to, by bike and one day by car. This video is just showing me how much I truly just want to be free..
You know, because of my psychological problems, I woke up one day as a 34-year-old ... with no memories. I didn't remember much of my life, not because I'd been in a car accident or anything. I realized that I was so stressed out, so dissociated and not living my life ... that I just didn't remember anything.
I recently bought myself a camera. And your videos will motivate me even more to record my life.
You are saying things that I’ve been thinking for years. Thanks for giving enough validation to try it myself. Instant sub, loved the content ❤️
This was masterfully shot! So raw and real. Thank you for inviting us into your thoughts. ✨💙
this resonates so deeply. thank you for sharing, for being vulnerable. i'm glad this found it's way in my recommendation
really nice video Lee. I really enjoy documenting my life and I'm glad i started it a few years ago. Even if no one watches those videos, at least I WILL be able to remember how my life used to be once upon a time! :)
Lovely video BL, very thoughtfully done and it is something that I will think about
thank you for sharing your journey with us 🥲
I was always on camera as a kid as well.
As I got older, I went through really bad times...
I almost took my own life...I am so glad I didn't
I lost my way and now I feel at home.
I did it all alone! I got out the dark hole.
Now, im okay with being isolated with peace and joy.
We found the light within us.
love you Brennen Lee!
#WEAREONE
cool video. I've been documenting a lot of my life for over a year. I haven't been doing it lately so I'm glad I saw this video as a reminder to get back. Can't wait to see where you go!
I don't know if I've ever watched a RUclips video before and thought, "Damn, I want to be their friend" but those were my exact thoughts watching this.
Wow, this is such a beautiful video!
Also, your room, with the deck and the trees outside are to die for.
Vlogging the simple moments in my life has been an absolute game changer and I hope you keep it up! New friend + subscriber
Its a great time to live in, where we have transcended so much that we can document whatever we do in our daily lives. Life is chaotic at moments and boring too, I just dont wanna lose my creativity I had in my childhood. I used to be hyperactive kid, but now that's gone idk where. Before watching this video, i myself realised that Humans are such a complex and by far the biggest gift our nature has given to this planet. All the creations we see around are all made by those two hands and intelligence of human brains. I do feel I am wasting my powers , who knows what are my capabilities. I would love to just explore all sorts lf things this Planet has to show, and still I am here sitting and waiting for that exact moment. You realise that moment won't come on its own, I have to make that up, I am the Mc of my life, time is in my hands, and its on me how i am spending it.
Very well done! This inspired and stirred something in me to want to continue down this path myself. I appreciate your journey.
Thank you much for this
This is amazing, I think that it is something I have thought about but never really deeply and this is inspiring me to try and do it more. It's amazing to hear about how you've done it and your story.
Yo bro that was so beautiful. Ive been thinking recently in starting a journey like this of my own and this video really inspires me to make that thought a reality. Thank you for sharing this! Youre great and i wish you all the best ❤️
Thanks for the support! And you should just do it!
Just one word: Beautiful
thank you!
Thank you brother. Bless you.
Great video and edits. Thanks for bringing us into your world
This is so beautiful
Thanks!
Subscribed because for once i found a logical explanation as to why we should document our lives on social media
Tysm for this video, 2 years ago I started to do the same thing and it’s such a beautiful and life changing experience 🌟
It really is!
loved watching this, thank you for sharing these parts of your life.
This content rocks bro. Such a vulnerable piece of content.
