Thank you for continuing to show up as your authentic self. I struggle with the same things girl. Especially after I do something I am proud of I think “well can’t top that 😅🤷🏽♂️” and that fear of failure is crrrriiiiplling some days. Thank you for opening your heart to everyone here. You are a gem
Soo freaking grateful to have shared this trip with you - the first of many! Thank you for the continuous support. Love you!! ❤️
My general approach with my channel is I wake up in the morning and I film whatever I feel like filming. Sometimes that means not filming at all if I'm not in the mood. Sometimes that means exploring a place and making a long video. Sometimes that means making one clip walking along talking about a place and some of my experiences, and then doing minimal editing of that one clip. I keep things kind of random and unpredictable so that there isn't this expectation that every video is going to be bigger and better than the last one or the absolute best video possible. I just try to go with what I actually feel like doing. That way there's less pressure of having to meet someone else's expectations and it's more about going with my creative impulse, for better or for worse. And the funny thing is that sometimes my worst videos are the ones that end up performing the best anyway. I would say try different things to open up the possibilities more, so that you don't feel constricted to having to create a certain type of video. I bet people will appreciate seeing things from some different angles and in different styles.
Thanks Gabriel!
Gabe is the greatest ... you both are
@@RayaWasHere No problem! Good luck with everything and have fun in Morocco. I want to go back to see more.
Raya, THANK YOU FOR THIS. I legit was face timing my mom 3 hours ago, tearing up, saying to her that whatever I do it never feels good enough. I've been battling so much self doubt lately, related to creating video content and writing, that AS YOU SAID - i just end up not creating. The past week has been better, as I've been acting on my ideas, but today once again it was the feeling of 'goddamn, but is it even good? is it? It's probably stupid. I feel like a loser.'
Thank you for sharing this, I'm glad I'm not alone in this. So much love for you! keep creating, keep making content, you're amazing! Let's kick self doubt and perfectionism in the butt
Thanks girl! Yess we have to stop holding ourselves back! 💪
Sounds like your burnt out. Why dont you take a break and come back refreshed?
You are good enough, Raya! I love your videos and they inspire me in so many ways!
Thank you Sierra! ❤️❤️
Raya your videos are sooooo good! I love watching your vlogs. It's normal to feel like you can do better but recognise your strengths and what you are bringing to the world. I myself have experienced fear of failure and feeling like I want to quit my job because I don't feel good enough but see every day as an opportunity to improve and keep uploading videos even when you think they aren't good because we love them!!! 💕
You are so talented and creative Raya. You share whether you are traveling around the world or walking in your local neighborhood. You inspire and share your story and I thank you for all your do.
❤️❤️❤️ You are wonderful. I love your honesty and sharing. Many will feel with you, and grow with you. Me included, I call myself a recovering perfectionist😀. I just took a job I didnt think I was capable of a few weeks ago, and feel so much better for taking that step, believing inmyself even though the negative thoughts were strong I conquered them for now🌸
Abraham-Hicks says when you find yourself paddling upstream you need to just let go of the oars and take a ride on the river. Because it's your river and it already knows where you want to go. As a fellow perfectionist, I find I try to over control, so this analogy really helps.
I love that! Thanks for sharing!
Don't let your anxiety get the best of you. You have a beautiful spirit and that will show through in all that you do. ❤
Thanks Nancy! That means a lot ❤️
Love everything you make! You’re very inspiring Raya xx much love xx
Love the music you've chosen for this blog. Very calming.
I love watching your travel videos, esp your signature walking in flowing dresses every place you visit. Know that you were born divinely blessed and are always good enough...keep shining your light into the world
This was beautiful and amazing as all your videos are. What does perfection mean anyways? What is perfect to one person, is flawed to someone else. Who is right?
Exactly! And even more so, what is 'perfect' to you know will change, maybe even my tomorrow! Learning to let go of the idea of 'perfect' all together :)
RayaWasHere yes indeed, perfect today is lousy tomorrow
I've definitely hit rock bottom before. Not for anything specific like you but just with life in general. All I do is work and sleep and one day I just lost it. It's hard time to look at yourself like that, but if you hold your chin up, you'll get through it
I just recently lost my job and I feel so depressed. Watching your video made me feel better. Sometimes life can be a true challenge. Thanks for sharing what you are going through. Love your videos!!!!
Thank you JC! I hope you’re feeling better ❤️ just remember that soon you’ll be past this and you won’t even remember all the worries filling your head right now. Sending you a big hug!
@@RayaWasHere thanks so much Raya!
Thanks for sharing, so great to see you back!
Raya you are amazing! Don’t give up, I really needed this video tonight, I’ve also hit rock bottom and we can only go up from here ❤️ Can’t wait to see your next vlogs x
Oh Raya, I just want to reach through the screen and give you a hug! Well done for opening up and this was a stunning video. I'm excited to see the rest of your Morocco videos as I've always wanted to visit but have never had the chance, I'll live vicariously through you whilst cuddling my 3 month old baby at home!
Thank you!! Also congrats on the baby, so exciting! ❤️
Definitely understand where you’re coming from! I aspire to create amazing content myself and have stopped myself from several uploads. I visited Aruba a year ago and let my perfectionism stop me from editing my footage captured during my trip. Your honestly has given me the push I need to get that video up! I don’t even care that it has been a year! I can’t stop myself from doing what I
love and enjoy! Thanks for sharing! Love your channel, IG and YOU! Keep doing it girl! ❤️
This is so good to hear! You have to go edit it - at the very least for you to have that to be able to watch back and remember the trip. Thanks for the support, right back at ya! 💕
"Done is better than perfect"
I can relate to this. I went through the same thing with my photography. I put my camera down for 3 years and focused on other things. I picked my camera back up over a year ago. My passion flooded back. I'm back at reclaiming my skill set.
Sending you all the luck on your future adventures.
Yess! Thanks Jen, I'm so excited for you! Hope you keep chasing that passion! 💕
Great picture of Dakota at the end and chill girl, we got ya!
I loved the video! I also want you to know that as a viewer I doubt I see any imperfections that you see, I'm just happy to see a video from you because you have so much talent. I think you have some great insights and I definitely relate to what you're going through. Much ❤️ from Utah!
You're videos are perfect raya don't ever tell yourself otherwise!!
Hi, as a perfectionist I definitely get it. Perfectionism can be hard at times. Over the last few years, I learned that perfectionism is actually connected to your personal feelings and the way you deal with them. Perfectionism is actually you trying to minimize or avoid the painful feelings of shame, blame and feeling rejected. After I let that sink in and worked on listening to and coping with my feelings I can now say that I am way happier. I am on my way to make peace with the perfectionist inside of me. If I may do a recommendation, I definitely would recommend the writer Brene Brown, she helped me a lot. Brene is a researcher and storyteller and writes about our whole spectrum of feelings, like shame, fear, fulfillment, worthiness, and joy. She tells about her own personal and other peoples experiences and tells how she and other people deal with it. Her books really helped me grow, to get started I would recommend her book "I thought it was just me" to get started. (Btw I don't want to be pushy :) She has a few ted-talks/youtube vids if you just want to explore ruclips.net/video/o7yYFHyvweE/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/iCvmsMzlF7o/видео.html) I hope you get where you want to go soon and are happy and fulfilled with your beautiful life and the content you make.
Thank you so much for writing all of this - I love Brene! I just started her book ‘Dare to Lead’ and I’ll definitely check out those links. Thanks again! ☺️
Marrakech is beautiful - cannot wait to see it one day!

I have always loved your videos! I think you make some of the best travel content that’s out there. So happy to hear your going to upload more. Your so inspiring and I can’t believe you have self doubted yourself! Like what giiirrrrl? Don’t ever self doubt yourself again girl! ☺️ Your doing amazing!!!
And... You have already evolved naturally in your content. And you will continue to do so. It’ll just keep happening naturally as you go. If you find yourself stuck it’s good to take a break, in which you have. Also keep in mind that if anything looks close to perfection... it might not look real or genuine. Your s very genuine and real person. Your doing amazing!
Love this open side of you!
no matter our jobs I feel we all struggle with perfectionism - I certainly do - and sometimes my depression takes over and I go into overcontrol mode and drive my husband crazy and my co-workers and my manager - be you girl, love you no matter what and your content are on point and if they aren't guess what, tomorrow is another day to start over - thanks for being authentic - blessings!
I have actually been in the same breakdown recently... you are not alone, and you are brave!
planning to go to morocco in march super excited!! As someone who struggles with needing to be perfect and always doing what seems like all or nothing if its not perfect then not all. Just a thought maybe making a video everyday is also feeding the doing everything perfectly and all or nothing. I used to be a pole vaulter so this really resignations with me but lower the bar. Not because you don't except the most out of yourself but in order to get where you want you have to be honest and real with where you are now. Be patient and understanding with yourself set yourself up for success, if you meet yourself where your at it makes a huge difference it has changed my life. A little goes along way its not always the huge steps that get us where we are but all the little decision. just a thought you know whats best for you.
I hear you. And i am right there with you. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I totally have had similar experiences with my passions. And it’s scary because obviously is such a part of who you are and it isn’t something that should be causing such anxiety but it still can happen so unexpectedly. You are clearly facing it head-on with this vlog and that really is the best thing you can do. I’m already loving your Moroccan adventure and can’t wait for more!
Thanks Lauren! 💕
You're an inspiration and you're beautiful no matter what you tell yourself! I've struggled with body positivity and anorexia since I was young, and I'm proud of you for being brave! Just remember that you have awesome opportunities open to you! Take advantage of it! Xoxo ❤️
Yayyy!!! Your in Morocco its also my favorite place in the world. My husband lives in Rabat and I miss him so much i'm back home in Canada. He will be coming this summer in Canada and I will be going back to Morocco to pick him up. I have the same fear of filmimg and starting my own channel on youtube of not being up to my standards. I think your doing the right thing to vlog daily and it will help you not being too much of a perfectionnist. Your an amazing role model, just be you, be raw and authentic thats all. I love raw footage even if its not the perfect quality I just love watching youtubers be real. 😊❤
Thanks for being so open about your feelings, Raya. Undoubtedly many of us feel the same way at times, but it's not something that's often discussed openly. I hope you start to feel more confident in yourself because you're AMAZING. I've actually been wondering where your vids have been, so I'm glad you'll be uploading more frequently.
Thank you!! I wanted to open up about it because I know a lot of people have felt this way or maybe are feeling this way now. But in a world where everyone is trying to pretend their life is perfect all the time it can feel like we're the only ones going through this. Hopefully this video helps a few people feel less alone ❤️
Love you Raya and I always love everything you post, but it's easy to think things aren't good enough. That's totally understandable to feel that way. But your content is always so inspiring and I love whatever you post! xxxx
You don't need to have specific content or a 'theme' of some sort. None of us only like doing one thing. Which is why I love Louis vlogs so much, there's minimal (but quality) editing and that raw energy is why I've been and kept watching for so long. Every video is different, chill and not pretentious! So whatever you've recorded because you wanted to, because you enjoyed that moment and wanted to share- don't hold back. I've subscribed to you because I relate to who you are :) don't fall into the LA trap of trying to do what everyone else is because you really are a special/different person xxx
Thank you Karishma! For the sweet words and for the support - for me and Louis. Sending you love! xx
You could have the opposite problem! I love my new videos and think my videos are getting better but my basic boring vlogs from a year ago keep ticking up while no one watches anything new I make! Your content is always lovely, and I actually find your channel so inspiring. Don't let the idea of perfect get in the way of perfection. I hope you feel better soon ✨😘
Thanks Elyce! Keep creating 💕
@@RayaWasHere you too! I honestly think you make some of my favourite travel content on youtube and your videos are much more sincere than most which is so refreshing for this platform.
just got scammed and lost some bucks when i have been saving ... but was down a few days ... then started watching your videos snd some others and got cheered up and ready for my own trip.... thank you .. love your work ... even the greatest film directors had their insecurities .... you do very well filmed videos thank you
Love you so much Raya
I just had Thanksgiving at my home after a few years of going to my parent's home. I was super worried about everything being perfect, that I started to get stressed out. After a phone call with one of my guests (very close friends) about my preparations, they told me "don't worry, it's just us, your family", I started to relax. Everything went better than I thought simply because I was relaxed and enjoyed the process. Same goes for life and things that we do. When we just enjoy the ride and not the end result, things actually turn out better than we ever could have planned for. You are a great film maker and you would not have your supporters if we didn't enjoy you as a person as well. Please don't feel pressured to up your game every time. We are here for the ride and enjoy everything you do! :-)
Thank you!! That really means so much to hear! I'm honestly so grateful to have you guys supporting me ❤️
I realise this video's a few months old already but I just stumbled across it and wanted to say thank you! I'm totally go through exactly this right now and it's not the first. Sometimes I just feel so much pressure to create "better" content - not from others, but from myself - that I end up feeling stuck and not feeling able to pick up the camera. Kind of sucks to know it doesn't go away, but it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one.
Way to go Raya! You've figured out how to overcome this setback. But please know that your vlogs are fun and interesting to watch, whether your buying furniture in Venice CA or traveling in Europe. I happen to love Morocco too and look forward to watching your future videos. Question: Is it safe to walk around alone at night in Morocco? I was there with a tour last time and so was never on my own.
"Practice makes progress, practice doesn't make perfect because perfect doesn't exist" I liked that a lot, and this video in general helped me a lot. Thank you!
Hey Raya - I don't usually comment (just enjoy watching your videos!) but I wanna sat something today: yes, a really nice-quality video is impressive and amazing to watch, it makes you improve your skills, and it's fun to make! But we all only have so much time to live and so thinking about it too much is a waste of time. Ultimately, videos are there to tell a story, and the means aren't more important than what the message or story is! Enjoy your time in Morocco! :)
Thanks Florence! Totally agree! 💕
It has been a constant struggle. I am 37 years old and have let fear rob me of so much. I decided to move to Atlanta Ga to start again but the fear followed me here. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom that met some amazing friends that exposed me to so much life and culture. I realized that I had to love myself and let that self love change me into who I am meant to be. I now have a stronger sense of peace but more importantly I have created an identity and found purpose. Now I am living life, being educated, and sharing what I have learned to the world. Biggest and boldest thing that impacted me the most was your travel vlogs Raya. It was your vlogs that spoke life to me and help me be aware that is a beautiful planet out that needs to be discovered. I can’t wait to see it. Please don’t ever try to be hard on yourself Raya. Love who you are and let it speak out in all that you do. Let love pour into your videos. Love what you do. Many blessings and best wishes for you.
Sorry. My grammar is horrible. Need more coffee. lol
Wow thank you!! It's so crazy to hear that my travel vlogs impacted you so strongly. Thank you for letting me know! It means so much to hear that ❤️
We are new to this and I know our videos are nothing compared to those with more talent like yourself, but we keep making them because we find it fun! My advice...just do what you love and don't think to hard about it!
I always smile when I see you have posted. Your content is always enjoyable. I have the same trouble as you but with practicing piano. I’m so afraid it’s going to be not good enough so I don’t do it. I like your idea of plunging into a daily vlog.
Amazing video
With love from Morocco 😍😍😍
You’re an amazing person!! You’re truly an inspirational ❤️ If we become too critical of ourselves,nothing will move forward. Take care 😀
How do you pin something on your map?
Also just so you know, so many people experience that burnt out feeling no matter what we are doing. You aren't alone ❤️
Forget about thinking what other people will be thinking about your work. Your work is yours, it’s your character or mark. People will enjoy it if they like. You can’t please everyone and pundits and trolls will always be there. I sense you have a fear of failing which we all have. That’s my 2 cents worth keep going and enjoying it. I enjoy all your vids.
Thanks Hamish!
Raya, I rarely comment on videos but I want to let you know that your last video about voting was the most meaningful video I watched on youtube this year, and I'm subscribed to many channels. I appreciate all the thought that you put in your videos. You make more of an impact than you know on your viewers. All the best!
That is so sweet, thank you Carolyn! ❤️
Welcome to Morocco don't forget to visit my city Agadir I hope you like it
I went to Marrakech in March and I am pretty sure I had the same walking tour guide (assuming that was a shot of him in your video). We went to the same places and he kept rushing those of us taking videos and photos. A few of us had to retrace our steps another day to get the photos we wanted to take! Of course one can never take enough photos of Morocco... I really want to go back! Looking forward to your vlogs and reliving my own trip. :)
Haha no way! Yeah that was him, he really needs to get that Morocco is too beautiful - people are going to want to stop and take photos!
Your videos are so beautiful!
First, I love your videos and they're amazing. Second, don't overthink it though and worry about things being perfect. People love real more than perfect Just enjoy life and capture the moments along the way and people will love it because you have such a beautiful soul and that shines through in the videos.
I honestly had the same revelation about my work a few days ago! I just wasn't finishing any project anymore even though I was still very passionate about what I am doing in general... I had to remind myself that perfekt doesn't exist and that I just need to do the best I can and move on... sometimes it is really hard to work with the perfectionist within yourself... also I find it hard to finish something not knowing what I will do next...
Push through Raya! Break your funk. Daily videos is a good starting point
I’ve never really shared my music nor have I really shared stuff I wrote with the world. Maybe a couple of people now and then but that’s it. And it’s really constricting and depressing because I can feel that I am holding a big part of myself back. I’m not even exploring it more and giving it space to bloom because I’m also a perfectionist and I tend to tell myself it’s not good enough or that somebody is already doing the exact same thing. So I guess I feel you in a way. This feeling can be really depressing.
I've been struggling with social- and presentation anxiety, but it's so much better know. But today has been hard, i baked a cake, but never felt like it was good enough, my mom asked me to make a decoration, but i just couldn't i felt so insecure, and started crying. i often feel very insecure when it comes making something for someone else, but i'm working on it
Ahhh I understand you and the inner perfectionist eating away at your brain. I love editing and filming so so much but not having a growing audience on my channel kills me everyday because I don’t feel good enough so I get into these holes where I don’t want to continue because I think it’s a waste of time if no one cares!! Super upsetting and I don’t know how to fix it
Hey Raya, I struggle with the same thing. Im a photographer and I will avoid doing projects because of the same issues you are talking about. Im working on it just like you. But I think you are right, we've got to get out of our own way and just do things because we love it instead of doing it to make it perfect. Cuz like you said, as soon as you do something and you think its perfect, you realize all the things you could've done differently to make it BETTER! lol. But keep doing what your doing 👍🏻 I love the mix of cinematic stuff with the speaking parts.
Thanks Brian!
Relax, Raya. We get it. 💛🧡😊
I totally get you! But I wanted to tell you that I just discovered your channel like 3h ago 😁😂 and I have already seen around 10 videos and I loved them all, some of them even made me cry because you have this way to transmit every sensation and everything you experience during your trips 🤗 it's kinda the way I feel when I travel... Except that I'm not good at all at photography and videos 😂. I think your content is Amazing 🤗😁 greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻 😁
Even if we agree perfect does not exist, you are still perfect to me ❤ I love you and your content Raya ❤ Thank you for being so inspirational
u wonderful RAYA.....I always support u since first time u start..i think the first thing u did when Louise made his fans make his intro and u was on of them .coz i remember first time i saw u when u made his intro..right?
Don't forget to have fun with your life and your videos. It will show through and I think this is what draws people to subscribe to you or other youtubers, more that than perfectly shot scenes. It helps and it's great to watch, but seeing the vlogger/youtuber have fun and being relatable is what makes me stay as a viewer :)
When you watch those old videos, maybe try to have be more like, "Aww that was such a good time and WOW, I've come so far! I'm so glad I put in the HOURS and HOURS of work to improve and get to this point." Because those videos aren't bad in comparison to what you can do now, they are what has led you to this current moment!
I love that, yes! Thank you!
Ow sweety! You are enough! Say it every morning to yourself! Out loud! Promise? I've had this period too. It's very hard to get out off. Rely on the people around you and lean on them. It'll be all right at the end. We love you and love everything you post. Xxx from the Netherlands ;-)
Thank you Esmee! ❤️
Your content is so flawless it hurts. Take a break
Do you have the name/location of the restaurant you found? Thank you!!
I totally understand how paralysing perfectionism is. I actually enjoy and watch "imperfect" videos more - I watch lot of really small youtubers who just film their travels on cell phones or with minimal editing. To me it feels really authentic and like I'm actually there. And don't get me wrong, I still love beautifully filmed and edited vlogs, I just think it's good to recognise that imperfect videos are sometimes, in themselves, what people are looking for. RUclips started as normal people filming random bits of their lives after all 😊
Yes! Such a good reminder! It's funny because the people I love watching most make simple vlogs with little to no cinematic clips. This is totally the beauty of RUclips!
“Nothing dirty can be on the bed” 😂 I can totally relate!
perfection does not exist, hi raya, love from France! I think we have to feel compassion for ourselves, I love what you create and I think you can too
Sometimes these events are simply burnout, you need a reset 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Right there with you
Don't think so much...just go with it !!!
Your so true
As A Friend I’m gonna say Excellent video today Raya. I hope you have a fantastic day, night, & evening. Stay cool, stay awesome, stay swag, stay unstoppable, stay incredible, stay popular, stay great, keep having fun, keep being the best Traveler RUclipsr, & stay strong Raya. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your Monday.👑☺️👍🙏🏆
Please do the daily vlogging. I love your content
I have been feeling like this lately as well
You are welcome anytime
Raya I am early 50's I have been an Ewok for Lucas Films I have been in other Movies as well as met Micheal Jackson. But there is one Video that started me following you Louis and Dave. It was Louis video from Cuba. I started following Louis, Dave and you. Dealing with being a dwarf all my life I had your same thoughts. Then one day I realized that being an actor , Photographer and as well as a person that is a member of this society . The only person we have to please! then everyone else will follow. You, Louis and Dave are my go too's when what to be picked up So thank you for your videos and your spirit
awesome! nice to meet you bro
Thank you so much!!
believe me all are super one.
😍 Red ❤
Very nice Video 👍 👍
There is no bad decisions, only the ones that you don't align with... ❤
very nice
💞 😍
Raya, I'm at 2:50, fuck it! we like your videos because you project this real/natural way of "us" being there! keep working on them! I wanna see more!
Thanks Franklin!

Anxiety (decreased confidence) is a signal that your life is out of balance. Successful folks keep things in balance whether an average person or celeberty. You may be experiencing cognitive distortion in terms of the perfection you speak of worsened by perfectionistic behaviour. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) with a licenced therapist is one method of challenging these thoughts. CBT won't balance your life, you have to make the changes.
Raya, you sound tierd and streessed. I would recommend to have a break of all SM and all the friends are talking about SM. go to the freinds are not in your field or travel somewhere alone or even talk to the teraphist. When you cry it means you are very stressed and it is not good for your health
Thanks for looking out for me! To be honest - allowing myself to make these more honest and real vlogs has helped me so much. I feel so aligned making this type of content! I'm so excited to keep creating what makes me happy and share it with you guys :) Thanks for the support!
Why don’t you visit Tunisia . Very beautiful country . You can try Tunis , Carthage , Sidi Bousaid , Sousse or Monastir .
You are an open, authentic person and I love your content. But it sounds as if in this phase of your life filming daily will put another pressure on you. I've heard you talk about internal, spiritual work like yoga and meditation before and I really think there is a healing process, a shift inside you happening. I wish you all the best. Your true self will enfold. Sat Nam (like we say in Kundalini Yoga, the true self will enfold and find its way) Yeah, and I felt like that many times before. I'm a singer and after 20 years and 3 kids I started again to perform. Now, I look very different, my art is deeper and my creativity more profound. But its hard for me to accept my looks when I see my videos. I focus on all the things of my body that I don't like instead of being proud of the song I created and my voice. I had to watch it over and over again and forced me to love myself. I recited mantras like "I'm bountiful, blissful, beautiful I AM" and after a while I was very surprised when one day I watched it again and I only saw a beautiful woman with a wonderful voice.
Raya, this is an awesome video. I've been also struggling lately with a few things. Thankfuly I have a wonderfull boyfriend who is always willing to listen to my doubts. I hope this week will be an adventure for you. Sometimes you have to take a step back to rise. :)
Thank you!! ☺️
