This video basically embodies all the reasons why I started following you years ago. Your ability to make life into something so magical, through your video skills. You are a creative genius. This is pure art, beauty... and depth. Thank you for being such a huge inspiration to me. Happy New Year Rachel, I hope this year will bring you an abundance of life lived, that your 80 year old self would be deeply proud of.
“we couldn’t tolerate what we we’ve been lying to ourselves about anymore” perfectly sums up my emotions about how this year’s been for me✨🧚🏼♀️thank you🥺
I’m literally crying right now, not only for how much this video MOVES me but how much it magnifies MOVEMENT that seems to be lacking in my life… you capture MOVEMENT man and it’s so inspiring. This is beyond beautiful, if RU-vid was part of the Oscars you would win best frackn’ videographer or something!
You are literal magic. You make me feel inspired, melancholy, joyful, hopeful..I want to live and breathe and explore because of you. Thank you, sweet Rachel for bringing so many elements to my life through your beautiful videos. You are one of a kind, truly.
You are like the frank ocean RU-vidr/vid version and I'm soo lucky to have discovered your channel a good couple of years ago as there's no doubt your talents will be noticed. such beauty can't stay hidden for soo long.
The segment after the flash warning was so deliciously psychedelic. So beautiful. Especially with the music. I had to keep replaying it. I can't even begin to imagine how she did that.
such a beautiful video. i got emotional towards the end when you started talking about your 80-year-old self and when you were looking up at the fireworks. it struck something in me that i couldn't quite wrap my head around. thank you as always for sharing your beautiful content, and happy new year!! 💚✨🌱
You never seem to fail to capture emotion and movement and memories so fucking beautifully. Like properly beautiful. With every new vid I watch you kinda articulate what I’ve been pondering for months and it’s truly, amazing. Thank you for trusting us, and uploading your feelings with every video, because I can only imagine how sharing something so vulnerable would be so nerve-racking. Eternally grateful and in awe 😩 ILY
this is the the most raw and best piece of art this platform has seen. rachel you are licherally the only youtuber whose content actually doesn't get stale, but instead it gets better and better over the years
thank you for this. this past year still blurs into the year before but this makes me hopeful. this is a call. i think i'm finally going to be ready to answer it.
I find myself coming back to this video (and actually revisiting your channel is one of my favourite things to do) but you have such an artistic way of expressing memories - the chaos and havoc of life juxtaposed with the tranquilities of the mundane. It’s magic.
"i think honest is a great adjective because execution should look honest; the movement, the stroke, the clashing of 2 ingredients - that's beautiful, that's sexy, that's rare to find because not everyone is tapped into their magic." not much i can say that everyone else hasn't said yet, but your words really resonated. every single one of your vlogs is an audiovisual experience but this one was! wow, something even more special. 🖤 happy new year's, rachel. so lucky to get to witness what you've created over the years.
I've been feeling like I'm just floating around for a bit now, but this has helped me understand that what I want is to find a true alignment within myself. Thank you for that. Also really love that realization of trusting oneself to give your 80 year old self the life she truly deserves. Going forward with that thought in my head and heart.
You don't know what your magic is? Your magic is being a creative God. You've inspired me so much throughout the years. Your so creative Rachel and have so many talents
i saw this video update at noon but my mind said lets just watch this at night before bed. and i happened to had a busy intrusive thoughts tonight - couldnt shut em up. thats when i remember i still have this love letter to read/watch. i feel the love, right away. so, okay rachel, if you can do it, so do i. lets love ourselves better this year❤️ thank you rachel, for being a true inspiration. please accept my virtual love & hugs. and happy new year!!!✨🍸
I literally screamed WAIT when it started. I always look forward to your videos you make me feel so human and that it's a great thing to be alive despite how imperfect and cruel the world can sometimes be.
This is so beautiful and exquisite. Thanks for capturing the big and small feelings….. this year has been so light & heavy. Thank you for capturing and making your art as “present” as it can be your viewers! I sent you my first “fan” email today… not really like me, but I hope you get a chance to slow down and write to me. It’s time to type into existence how someone can make us feel just a tad bit more grateful. Xxxxx tini
Rachel... I've missed you. But it's the kind of missing that I'd wait however long you needed until you send something our way. Thank you for gracing my day with your presence and a Happy New Year to you!
this is the coolest,mind blown and exciting vlog i’ve ever seen on youtube istg your vlog is literally give a different type of vibes that i just can’t describe.
hello again 👋 ! i return to your channel almost every year in the new year; it’s a space of energy and growth. this video is no different, and a welcome surprise on my voyage back to seeking this kind of pure emotion and awareness. thank you for this cloud of memories, it was a joy to float thru. 💗
every time I rewatch this video, I always wanted to give it another thumbs up but then paused and realized that I've already done that. For some reason it got me sad for not being able to like it again lol. Your videos are such a reservoir to me if that makes sense.
wonderful video! what an amzing year it looks like you've had, feels unreal to watch as i know most of our lives still look like last years lol this video looks like it was made before 2020. Hope to see you on here more often next year.
What the hell did I just watch? I’ve been looking forward to this, my emotions are engulfing my entire being as i watch this. It’s beautiful, Rachel & I love it❤️.
etherial... inspiring... I've never seen a vlog like this, it's raw, experimental, emotional, and I can feel everything like I was really there, like I'm a part of the ride.
this is an art piece. i enjoyed every second of the video. can you please tell me Rachel, which exactly sony handycam do you use to make these beautiful, cinematic shots? love your work, xoxo Nina
thank you for your existence. the visual, the storytelling, music and everything that carry a part of your character have brought out so much inspirations, love and hope to me. I'm 100% sure that everybody is feeling the same, so thank you so much. A new year with love and light to you, Rachel!
My dear, I am so happy to have you back. I was thinking of you on New Years Eve and I prayed for you to be well. Happy to see you and that you are in a better place than before Wishing you a great year filled with love, peace and fulfillment of all your potentials love you ❤❤❤
Your video feels like a different way of seeing the world, and a way of remembering a flood of memories (pictures, videos, supercuts). Chef's kiss. happy new 2022, Rachel🎉
I am so glad I found you. This video is so inspiring and creative and like ASMR but for artists and creatives. I started a RU-vid channel to help me feel less lonely (I moved to Japan) and this is a great reminder to make videos for connecting and not clicks. Thank you for taking the time to make this for us. Thank you for your creativity and vulnerability. You’re special girl. Happy to [digitally] meet you.
This video sums up perfectly the state of my emotions and mental being ! But I didn't truly knew it ... But your POETRY behind movement and music made em realize it ! Your vision is ✨✨✨ so happy I started my year with that kind of inspiration ! I am definitely taking it as a sign 💜 Thank you 🙏🏽 and i really mean it
