I can relate too this so much. I remember the sheer Terror in just questioning the Concept of me... being gay. So I ran. Away from something I thought was so scary, but was in fact.. just me aha. The ‘me’ I am now, but instead cloaked and hidden in the corner of my mind, only too emerge when I thought alone. Being alone is what then disturbed me because facing the person I was inside- that cloaked, concealed, buried but emerging ‘me’ was so so tough. But too anyone sat reading this at 13, 14, 15, 35 years old... build the confidence to lift the cloak, even just give it fucking poke, and you’ll begin too see what you were before so scared off, is a new life beginning. I began too love... me. Thanks Connor x
you will forever be my favorite creator. you’re so open and honest and creative and that’s all that i aspire to be. you are amazing connor. i’m so happy you create things for us. love you 💜 (and good luck with your running!)
"Life is about running with yourself"...i seriously want that on a t-shirt as little way to show that I support this cause because I'm 15 and my parents are homophobic so there's no chance in me actually donating
“Life is about running with yourself, not away, not towards”. This really hit me. You’re such an inspiration to me and countless other people and I want to deeply thank you for that.
I am just now learning of this guy and this channel and I have to say I love all the good vibes it brings me. This video captivates me in such a way it says so much for the many who feel but cannot say because they are afraid to. And this video gives me inspiration and hope for the future!
Connor, going to be honest I am new, I only know you from the quote,''Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.'', and it has honestly changed my life. Thank you.
This is great. And I’m glad that you’re finally running with yourself and that you also have someone beside you. Congratulations on everything you’ve done so far and good luck on the things to come.
RUclips is botting all their social engineering propaganda videos for the day with likes and generic positive comments because they know everyone see's how narcissistic, manipulative, and politically motived all this shit they push is, and their propaganda campaigns always end up with massive dislikes and deleted comments sections.
Because so many buy into this liberal propaganda. Why is he such a hero for being gay? It's totally the "in" thing now. Be openly gay in the 50's, or even the 80's, when it wasn't so easy. Either way, this CreatorsForChange leftist agenda is nauseating.
The whole video was amazing but 3:10-3:28 and 1:21- 1:55 hit me so hard. Sport was also an escape for me, those old fond nostalgic memories when I was just a kid. I felt free but also trapped within myself. The scene where you are standing at the top of the mountain with the city behind you, it just puts it all into perspective. How you can be alone at the top of the mountain with the world just playing in the background, relate to that. Constantly running, pushing forward to achieve my goals but it would be nice to have someone to run with or meet me at the top the mountain.
So strange to know I was watching you when you were 21, every damn Monday, and I could never tell how miserable you were feeling inside. I guess that's the thing though, and I've been there myself, it's easy to hide it. It wasn't until after you came out back in 2014 (wow that feels like ages ago and like it just happened both at once) that I started to notice how much more you were coming out of your shell and the misery before then suddenly became more visible. You were a whole new, happier version of yourself, and it was so nice to see you shine. I hated seeing that happiness fade a bit after the breakup with you-know-who, he who must not be named, but it's so beautiful to see you now and to see that happiness re-emerge once again. I know you'll absolutely kill it in this marathon, I believe in you. ❤️
Connor, I love you and am so proud of you and how far you have come. Seeing you develop in the past few years, following the events in your life as if it were my own has been amazing! You are such a great person and nothing can change that! I will always support you in every way possible. There are so many people you have helped, and that look up to you. You are loved, supported, appreciated, and overall an inspiration to all of your fans. Thank you for being you!
Holy shit, I cannot believe it how many years have passed since your coming out video. Back then I was a freshman in high school. I'm so glad you did. that video got me questioning myself and here I am now, 17 years old as a freshman in college, comfortable with myself as a gay man. Thanks a million for being my inspiration for all these years and good luck on your race.
This video is incredibly inspirational! I really struggle with mental health issues and have been dealing with suicidal thouhts for quite some time. And like you said: Not one person knew... When I heard this sentence it reallyshook me. I don't think I've realised before, how dangerous and unhealthy that is. You helped me to actually tell my girlfriend who is my best friend in the world at the same time, which for me was a feeling kind of similar to coming out. Of course it is a different thing, but both come down to telling somebody something about yourself which you think could make them hate you, missunderstand you, leave you. Thankfully, she couldn't have been more supportive and I am now one step closer to finally healing and getting better. So thank you for being so open about this and for inspiring so many people with your content, it really makes a huge difference in people's lifes!
aah I love running. its destressing, helps you get fit and just makes all the busy life go away for just a second. I ran this summer everyday twice around my park and it was amazing. my shoes are completely destroyed with the amount I ran everyday. Great video connor and people that read this. Donate now!!!
connor you have helped me so much with my mental health i can’t thank you enough. you helped me through my darkest days, you are such a beautiful, bright soul that deserves everything in life. good luck with your race, and thank you endlessly
Amazing video as always. Once again you teach me sth very important. It's worth to make your dreams come true and at the same time not be afraid of showing who you really are. You do great job by helping so many people who struggle with themselves and big thank you for that
Thank you Connor: I'm still crying. Everything you said could be about me, about my life. I'm bisexual, but came out & came to terms w/ that part of who I am in my 30's. I was very lucky to have so many people who loved & supported me. I'm 50 now, & I'm crying because I feel like there's still something I'm running from, still something about me that I can't admit to anyone - I'm still hiding, & my work right now is to try to understand, try to free myself from this fear & aloneness. I'm so glad you, & others like you, are out there showing people like me that we can free ourselves. I think all of us feel so alone right now in one way or another - we all have the need to be seen & heard as we really are, we all have the need to be accepted & welcomed, we all need help finding ourselves & finding "home". The courage of LGBTQ people over the past 50+ years, the refusal to pretend to be something you're not (or to pretend not to be something you are), has always & will always be deeply inspiring to me. I don't know what's going to happen to me. I don't know how long it's going to take me to crawl out of the darkness this time, but seeing you, hearing you, gives me true hope for myself for the first time in a long time. Thank you. Blessed Be.
I'm so proud of you Connor! So proud. As someone whose bi and living in a community that does not accept this community I have found support through you,my sister,some of my friends and most importantly my girlfriend to realize that it's ok to be bi and there's nothing to be ashamed of. It's a struggle every day to tell myself it's okay to be bi and it's part of me. Recently I found out a friend of mine was also bi and I've never felt more relieved to find out someone else was like me. So thank you Connor thank you for everything. love, shefali
currently crying because of how inspiring your content is. i remember your older videos from when i was in middle school, and i loved you then, but god i love you now. your videos are real and have substance, and i wish there was more of that on youtube
Coming from a runner myself I have to say running has been the only consistent thing in my life. The people, experiences and life lessons it has taught me is unlike no other. So happy and proud of how far you of come on this journey Connor :) Go crush that marathon!!
Thank you, this is beautiful. I always had the feeling I could only find joy when I ran away from my daily life. I never understood when people were happy when their vacation was over. This year I graduated high school, and all I hoped for was to live a new life. I only realised just how unhappy I was before when just over a month ago, I started at university and made some amazing friends who make me happy every day, and if that doesn't sound like much, it really is.
This video made me realize how much time has passed since I subscribed and how much you have developed as a person and how much you have learned and just when you said you were suicidal at 21 and now you are 26, oof my heart! Makes me hope for a future where I can run without being afraid of myself and others and just be comfortable with my sexuality
This is just so inspiring and truthful, there are so many things in life and you just managed to summarize that exact everyone's struggles giving them and answer "life is about running with yourself" so I'm not alone... Love it, love you con
Okay I’m actually crying Connor how dare you. On a serious note, you are truly an inspiration for so many people. You helped me embrace my sexuality, even though I’m not comfortable with a specific label just yet. So thank you. And best of luck for your marathon. You’ll do great 💕
This video spoke to me in such a profound way. I went through a very similar coming out journey and running kept me going. Thank you so much for validating my experience and making a beautiful video. Congrats on your amazing time!
I’ve been having the most horrible week. I feel like I’m distancing myself from my friends, even though I try ever so hard, and I hit my knee so hard I can’t even walk, and I was crying because I feel like I’ve been taken for granted by everyone, and my grandpa just died but I haven’t told anyone because I don’t want it to be an excuse, but it’s so, so, hard and sometimes I feel like I’m lying to myself. This video cheered me up, fully, completely, not just made me laugh but lifted a weight off my chest. I’m sorry I know this is a lot to read, but your video made at least one person feel better, so thanks.
Truely!! Especially the urban shots at 4:00 with the rich blacks and the light perfectly accentuating your face really made me think of his videos. Really happy that you work with other talented people!! I'm a huge fan of Sam who made the cover for note to self too. :)
connor! i just wanted to tell that you are my favorite person in this world, you don't know how much you make me happy just by one video, you keep blessing my day and my life i really really really wish you all the best and happiness in this world, take care of yourself, eat well, and sleep a lot, because all i need is you. 💛💛💛
Great video Conor . Inspiring , i used to run long distance up until resently . Have arthritis in my knees now . Take care not to over do it on hard ground . Running is great for clearly your mind and focusing your thoughts . Best of luck . Run long and run free .
As a Track, Cross country, and gay high school runner, running is my escape. I put all my stress and all my frustrations in my miles. The pain and hard work may hurt temporarily but it is rewarding in the end. The feeling of relief when you hit the top of the hill or line at the finish almost feels like heaven. one second of pain is worth a life time of pride ❤️🏃♂️
Im so incredibly proud of you. Being able to see you grow and become the person you are today - happier, healthier, comfortable with yourself - it’s gotta be one of the greatest gifts youtube has given us. Thank you for all you do for our community 🌈 and good marathon!! Xx
I love how you always try to find yourself and tell us how challenging yet rewarding an experience that is. You are one of the most inspirational youtubers if not the not the only one. I love your beautiful piece of poetry which has a deep meaningful message. Best of luck in the marathon, i hope you enjoy it as much as possible and come back and tell us all about it :) Thank you for being you.
"Life is about running WITH yourself; not away; not toward." -- Oh, why have I never heard this put in quite this way before? I was raised reading books and with religious faith, and yet somehow, I'm not sure I've heard it put quite this way. Thank you. I needed that; probably for a very long time. Every little bit helps, and lots of us need a little help, a little lift along the way.
That was amazing, sometimes i take long walks and it gets me to think a lot. As you said, thinking a lot can empower your identity, but also destroy you. I also think the way the video is always moving, like even if it’s not a shot of you running, it’s a constant moving atmosphere, which gives the viewer the perfect feel of putting one foot in front of another. Thank you Cone you mean a lot.
This is now one of my favorite videos on your channel, by far! The aesthetics, the camera shots, and especially the words, are all absolutely amazing! I've been trying to combat mental health issues for a while now, but despite that, you're always someone that constantly inspires me to keep moving foreword when times get tough, continue doing the things that bring me joy, stand up to those that try to shoot me down, surround myself and give back to others who are important in my life, and overall... to never give up. I've been a big fan for almost 4 years now (since February 2015), and I'm so glad I got to see how you've grown into the person you are today, since coming out! I'm so proud of you for all that you accomplished, and I wish you as much luck as I can possibly give, on your first marathon! I know you're going to crush it! I love you so much!! 💛💛💛💛
This video is awesome. The things you said about your mental health and how you feel better now really give me hope. Thanks for being this amazing person!
I'm crying because this is SO beautiful (not because of what you said which makes me cry anyway) but because it's shot and edited so beautifully! This is giving me LaLaLand and Call me by your name vibes. This is exactly why I love cinematography so much - amazed every single time by the works of art that are your videos! They truly are a sight for sore eyes.
This was so important. Thank you so much Connor, for always making me feel represented. You’re really making a difference and you should know how many there are out there who keep going because of it, and how much we appreciate it!
Very proud of you Connor! "Life is about running with yourself", beautiful empowering sentence, thank you 😊😊
We're so proud of you Connor, and honored to join you in supporting GLSEN!

youtube pushes some videos forward . or to the top of the preverbial list.
RUclips is botting all their social engineering propaganda videos for the day with likes and generic positive comments because they know everyone see's how narcissistic, manipulative, and politically motived all this shit they push is, and their propaganda campaigns always end up with massive dislikes and deleted comments sections.

yes . they also have shills that comment .. if u follow the hashtag the same ppl comment insane praise and courage on every single one.
i'm so proud of you. you change the world.😊😊

I’ve been running back to your videos for years. I binge your videos when I feel uninspired or lost and every time they have put me back on track
The emotive language used served its purpose . Wow . 😭❤️
the people who get to have you in their lives and get to experience and live you in person are the luckiest in the world.
you've been inspiring me to run with myself since i started watching you. this video is beautiful and amazing and so are you. thank you
Empowering and Amazing!
aah I love running. its destressing, helps you get fit and just makes all the busy life go away for just a second. I ran this summer everyday twice around my park and it was amazing. my shoes are completely destroyed with the amount I ran everyday. Great video connor and people that read this. Donate now!!!

This video spoke to me in such a profound way. I went through a very similar coming out journey and running kept me going. Thank you so much for validating my experience and making a beautiful video. Congrats on your amazing time!
It's midnight over here but i dont care
I swear. LA must be the best place to run. There would be so much to see. Also, this is so insperational! I just can't believe it.
You inspire me
I’ve been having the most horrible week. I feel like I’m distancing myself from my friends, even though I try ever so hard, and I hit my knee so hard I can’t even walk, and I was crying because I feel like I’ve been taken for granted by everyone, and my grandpa just died but I haven’t told anyone because I don’t want it to be an excuse, but it’s so, so, hard and sometimes I feel like I’m lying to myself.

I’m sorry I know this is a lot to read, but your video made at least one person feel better, so thanks.
tim is so talented, I had an itch that this looks like his videos before I knew he directed this
that talented man has a way with smooth shots and vivid, deep colors 😭
Truely!! Especially the urban shots at 4:00 with the rich blacks and the light perfectly accentuating your face really made me think of his videos. Really happy that you work with other talented people!! I'm a huge fan of Sam who made the cover for note to self too. :)
Now I feel like running and being productive wow. Thanks Connor!
The Videographer slayed this too ✌✌
connor! i just wanted to tell that you are my favorite person in this world, you don't know how much you make me happy just by one video, you keep blessing my day and my life i really really really wish you all the best and happiness in this world, take care of yourself, eat well, and sleep a lot, because all i need is you. 💛💛💛
Good luck!!! I wish I could donate but I'm only 15 years old 😢😢😢
This was beautiful "life is about running with yourself, and I couldn’t be happier with who’s running with me now."
When do donations close? I want to donate but can’t until after payday. Very proud of you though.
The campaign ends in 14 days! but you can donate to glsen.org/donate any day or time :)
Great video Conor . Inspiring , i used to run long distance up until resently . Have arthritis in my knees now . Take care not to over do it on hard ground . Running is great for clearly your mind and focusing your thoughts . Best of luck . Run long and run free .
Aahhh you’re glowing!! All the best for your marathon 🌹🌹
thx so much! i'll be thinking about all the positive comments on this film the whole 3 hours & 30 minutes!!
As a Track, Cross country, and gay high school runner, running is my escape. I put all my stress and all my frustrations in my miles. The pain and hard work may hurt temporarily but it is rewarding in the end. The feeling of relief when you hit the top of the hill or line at the finish almost feels like heaven. one second of pain is worth a life time of pride ❤️🏃♂️

“But I kept coming back to my sexuality” 😪💛
Im so incredibly proud of you. Being able to see you grow and become the person you are today - happier, healthier, comfortable with yourself - it’s gotta be one of the greatest gifts youtube has given us. Thank you for all you do for our community 🌈 and good marathon!! Xx
I love how you always try to find yourself and tell us how challenging yet rewarding an experience that is. You are one of the most inspirational youtubers if not the not the only one. I love your beautiful piece of poetry which has a deep meaningful message. Best of luck in the marathon, i hope you enjoy it as much as possible and come back and tell us all about it :) Thank you for being you.
you are the most inspiring person in social media i’ve ever seen and i just want to thank you for everything you do
OMG AMAZING
"Life is about running WITH yourself; not away; not toward." -- Oh, why have I never heard this put in quite this way before? I was raised reading books and with religious faith, and yet somehow, I'm not sure I've heard it put quite this way. Thank you. I needed that; probably for a very long time. Every little bit helps, and lots of us need a little help, a little lift along the way.

That was amazing, sometimes i take long walks and it gets me to think a lot. As you said, thinking a lot can empower your identity, but also destroy you.
I also think the way the video is always moving, like even if it’s not a shot of you running, it’s a constant moving atmosphere, which gives the viewer the perfect feel of putting one foot in front of another.
Thank you Cone you mean a lot.
67views and here is me yeah

this is so amazing, i love you so much Con! you're an inspiration for me! Good luck on your marathon!
U are such a beautiful human being, I'm so happy that u are one of the people from my generation. So proud 😘
This is now one of my favorite videos on your channel, by far! The aesthetics, the camera shots, and especially the words, are all absolutely amazing!
I've been trying to combat mental health issues for a while now, but despite that, you're always someone that constantly inspires me to keep moving foreword when times get tough, continue doing the things that bring me joy, stand up to those that try to shoot me down, surround myself and give back to others who are important in my life, and overall... to never give up.
I've been a big fan for almost 4 years now (since February 2015), and I'm so glad I got to see how you've grown into the person you are today, since coming out! I'm so proud of you for all that you accomplished, and I wish you as much luck as I can possibly give, on your first marathon! I know you're going to crush it! I love you so much!! 💛💛💛💛
So beautiful! Name a more spectacular duo than Tim and Connor, I’ll wait...
My heart is still beating fast after 3 minutes of watching this.
This video is awesome. The things you said about your mental health and how you feel better now really give me hope. Thanks for being this amazing person!
I'm crying because this is SO beautiful (not because of what you said which makes me cry anyway) but because it's shot and edited so beautifully! This is giving me LaLaLand and Call me by your name vibes.
This is exactly why I love cinematography so much - amazed every single time by the works of art that are your videos!
They truly are a sight for sore eyes.
This was so important. Thank you so much Connor, for always making me feel represented. You’re really making a difference and you should know how many there are out there who keep going because of it, and how much we appreciate it!
The cinematography 😍😍😍
Had to watch it twice so I wasn’t distracted
i love you so much. thank you. for absolutely everything.
