My fur babies are my children but two of them that passed really hit hard and that was my childhood cat. I had him in my life from the age of 10-27. He was my best friend. The other was always a puny cat and he needed special care everyday so the 6 1/2 yrs I had with him were just as intense and special as the 17 yrs i had with my first "baby". I still have a couple cats and a pittbull that is my baby. He is like my childhood cat reincarnated into this wonderful dog that I am so blessed to have in my life.
I went to the grocery store with my mom and a Hispanic lady came up to us that couldn't speak English. She had an index card asking us to help her buy food for her family. My mom asked her what she wanted and took her around the store and got her enough food to last a week for her family. It was a selfless thing to do because my family doesn't always have that much money but she was still willing to go over budget for this woman.
The dog story and the granny story almost made me cry. In 2008, my granny died in my arms; she slipped and fell in the bathroom. she was the sweetest, She literally saved me and kept me alive until then. I still haven't gotten over that morning
What a difficult thing to experience. Sometimes I cherish the pain in my life because of the firms that I'm living. Turn right into expressions of gratefulness daily for even the smallest things in your life.
Every detail about this video: the diversity in the people, the cameras ability to capture everyone’s natural beauty, the music in the background, and every way that the clips are filmed- is so incredibly and uniquely beyond beautiful thank you
Just happened to me a couple months ago, it’s bitter sweet because she passed at home unexpectedly although it was traumatizing, I wouldn’t have wanted it to happen any other way. 💜🌷
That happened to me with my cat, and my only thought was how he should be feeling so confused and scared about what was going on and so I just pet him the whole way through to make him sure he was ok.
@@spleengrrrl how is that narcissistic? everyone is different. jumping to conclusions and casting judgement based on ignorance. nice one. you typify humans.
@@sultanabran1 I am casting judgment based on ignorance, yes. But he chose to say that on the video. To me, he came off as creepy as a narcissistic psychopath so I typed it. It was a quick 2 AM comment on a YT video, a tiny portion of my daily existence. You don't know what my life is like or what I do, and I don't expect you to. However you are judging me as the "typical human" you have obvious disdain for because you said that with derision. So, I don't know know? Hi, Kettle?
Got me in tears! Your videos are so moving and inspire me to do the same in London. Thank you for building the courage to go talk to random members of the public to hear their thoughts. Amazing content
My girlfriend told me that a little while ago she was prepared to kill herself. She had written letters and she had pills to overdose but she decided against it. She’s getting better and when she told me that I just cried and listened to her heartbeat as she promised me she’s not going anywhere. That moved me
Make sure she speaks with a professional, she sounded very very low to have prepared that much. DON'T JUST LEAVE IT WITHOUT SEEKING SOME HELP. good bless
I wish I could be asked a question by you! I absolutely adore what your doing! It amazes me that I was just Writing today about people getting closer to being kinder and gentler in this world. Your amazing! Your project has inspired me to be more “ out there” and more open with people. You’ve proved there are so many wonderful people in this world who if you just talk to them they will own up to people.
Having maths exam day after tomorrow and i choose this over maths. Beauty of life. Good people. Been watching this over an hour. Have a goood day everyone. Love. Peace.
Another thing that really moved me was that a few years ago I visited the Pulse shooting memorial in Florida. It was so colourful and vibrant and full of love, in a place where hate took so much. And they’re actually turning the club into a permanent memorial and museum. It was really touching reading all the notes and seeing all the paintings and buttons and artifacts people have left.
10:07 you can tell the poor guy does have all sorts of emotions, he just cant admit to himself, hes afraid. Its ok to experience, I hope he learns that
11:04 I think she is his sister. If not, I think a DNA test would show they are related. How awesome would thst be? It is unfathomable to me to be a "human robot."
My moment that moved me would be when I turned 31 my grandmother was old and ill and pretty much on her death bed, she had dementia and Alzheimer's and I remember a few days before she passed shed yell HELP.... every 3 seconds like she was scared and couldnt see or something...i just layed in bed next to her playing with her hair and holding her like I would my child, in that moment I felt like it was my turn to do my part and take care of her the way she took care of me all those years..😢 love you granny!
*Mutilated Angel* ** You have a big heart❤️ The exact same happend to my father... He had cancer and just lay in his bed in our livingroom. He actually died in my arms.... And i’m so happy for that! Maybe he felt safe❤️
Something which moved me recently, unfortunately very painful, was seeing my Dad cry for the first time. It's something I'd never seen in my life before and, from sadness, something I never want to see in him again. My Grandmother, his Mother, passed away and we had all been to her funeral and sobbed all day. What really moved and shocked me was when he truly broke down in the early hours of the morning, after everyone had left and the funeral was over. I could see how much it was torture for him to have to accept it; he was balling his fists together and he hit himself multiple times which was really my breaking point. On the contrary, something more positive was when one of my Aunties was giving a eulogy that same day. It was the first time I'd heard how my Grandparents met and I thought it was the most beautiful love story I'd ever heard. My Auntie told us how the first day they met was the day my Grandfather, who was in the RAF, was due to go off to fight in WW2. Having only spoken to my 16 year old Grandmother for a few hours, my 18 year old Grandfather left the house to be deployed after telling her he'd certainly return to marry her. When the war ended 4 years later, on the day he returned home, he went straight to my Grandmother's house and asked my Great-Grandfather if he may court his youngest of 9 children and only daughter. They were the only people either of them every loved and were married for over 40 years :) It's something I now aspire to.
I had a friend pass away by suicide. And her family was very religious. They were struggling because taking your own life is a sin. All through the ceremony the pastor was emphasizing and trying to reassure her parents that she IS in heaven. She simple lost her battle with mental health. It was really moving to see a pastor being so progressive.
Today I found out that I’m not going on a trip in the mountains (24 out of 35 people got to go) and I was really angry and sad that I’m not going, but watching some of these videos made me realise that some things aren’t such a big deal of what you make them cause others are having a harder time than you are :(
What moved me was this video... I got tears and all, because some of the guys went for big and deep answers immediately and were ready to be so vulnerable front of a camera...and they were so BEAUTIFUL!!! I think that the right person is holding the camera here if you can have people opening up to you so well... Much love ❤❤❤
2015 we lost both my mother and my brother to cancer. I live in another state and my father was the main person taking care of them day to day. My brother was always close to my mom but he and dad weren't as close. There was always a wall up. After Mom died in May, it was just Dad and J. When I was visiting my dad told me that J always knew Mom loved him but now J knows that He loves him too. I thought that was so profound. It still makes me cry when I think about it. My Dad lives with an attitude of gratitude and finds the good in EVERYTHING. I'm thankful he taught me that.
My mom had been sick since I was a freshman in high school, one Thursday morning senior year the high school was at mass (catholic school) and a light that shined on the altar was flickering, but more in a way like someone was messing with the light switch. I had felt a heavy feeling the whole morning and so something came over me to think/ask God "God if this is some kind of sign, if something is going to happen switch the light twice." and it happened. A moment later a teacher came and pulled me out because my mother had passed. I've been in a place where I'd call myself agnostic for a couple years now but that moment has stuck with me and made it difficult for me not to believe in something divine and more than this world.
Mine was when I saw a young girl get punched by her dad and her older brother picked her up and they ran away this moved me so much just to see the love siblings have for each other it makes me wish I had some siblings or just a sibling
It's really interesting how many people observed something someone(s) else was doing and said ,"I thought that was cool" somehow it sounds so much deeper.
I think the one that moved me the most was when I was at work. A woman came in and she has WIC and doesn't know what to get and what not to get. She wasn't able to get everything she wanted and was in tears. I saw a woman behind her tell her "ring up everything she can't have, and I'll pay for it." Such kindness like that, you don't see anymore.
@@jclkaytwo WIC stands for Women Infant Children. It's for women who have young children and can't work. It pays for food for the children mainly. Its a good thing to have, but most of the time it plays dirty and changes everything up
Couple years ago me and my mom saw a man on the road, he was trying to stop us but at first we thought he was drunk so we didn't. But then it hited us and we went back, it was too late. I held the man when he took his last breath. I really tried everything I could but it wasn't enough, the ambulance took too long. It really broke my heart and moved me, I cried the whole night. Guess some things are really meant to happen, no matter how hard we try to stop it.
What an honor for you to be with this man as he took his last breath for him you became an angel,I marvel at the spiritual meaning this must have had for you, my mom was a night nurse in aold folks home and held many a hand as they took their last breath she told me it was so spirtual as they left to go to heaven.
I was on a hoilday in india and went to the the himalayas climbing a mountain to go to the vally of the flowers, takes 2 days to get there, but while me going up the mountain, i see people coming down the mountain, they stopped and talked and said only few hours ago, a child whom was 10 years of age as slipped edge of the mountain and fell and died.. My heart dropped knowing he was a hours ahead of me and he pasted in a beautiful breath taking place.. I then prayed for him and to cherish life each day, u never know when your last day will be, he was only a child.. 😢 This was 12years ago i still remember this day like yesterday.. This moved me..
This shows you that people have stories. Many many stories. It also shows that even the smallest thing can mean the world to someone. Remember: Choose kind.
For me it was when my mum told me my dad had died....I was in my final year in Med school looking forward to becoming a doctor then this....I was writing exams so my family felt it was best they didn’t tell me he passed so I could concentrate on my exams....He had cancer and didn’t see me graduate....It was the most painful day of my life...Never recovered
I am hooked on your videos, can’t stop watching! I love what you’re doing, it’s so beautiful. All these different stories truly inspire me and they make me realise that every single stranger has so much more to tell than you would think at first glance. Thank you for your work, it warms my heart :)
The story with the dog brought me almost to tears. I don’t cry very often, and when my pet, who lived with my best friend died, I cried three times that day, something I’m relieved and sad about. Before that I was afraid of not being able to show that kind of emotion. Her passing away opened something up in me. She was a wonderful being and had a good life, as far as I can tell. I’m glad I was there when she died, because a lot of odds where going against that. Yeah. So now I told something that moved me, without intending to. Rest in peace Veilchen😔❤️
These videos mean a lot Thankyou I’ve been suffering from anxiety and depression these videos bring a smile to my face they make my whole day better 😊 you are the greatest film maker I’ve come across
I love the guy talking so deeply about his dog, I can relate so much to him, you can really form such deep conncetions to animals because they are so pure. RIP 💕
10:15 that’s an empty person. I’m not emotional either but to say nothing has ever sparked emotion in me is a lie. That guy is lying too. He is too scared to admit it or he just can’t remember but there is definitely something that moved him
If you have a suggestion for a deep/interesting question I should ask strangers please direct message me on Instagram: @thor.aya (more likely to see it there) :]
I've been recently watching a few of these videos from you, I adore them. I did a similar project for school asking students a few personal questions. It's surprising how honest some people are willing to be for things like this. I know the feeling, the connection you make with strangers like this, and I encourage people to ask the daring questions because those experiences are always the most fun and the most profound.
My moment was a migraine and laying in the shade trying to meditate the pain away. I saw a slug eating grass. The mouth fascinated me, then I saw it breathe. Every breath it took released my pain. I learned a lot and will never look at the common slug the same way again.
I work in a hospital delivering meals to patients and someone was playing the piano in the main lobby. As I gave the patient his dinner he said his prayer before eating. I stayed with him as he did. Hearing that along with the piano in the background was such a serene and peaceful moment.
The moment that moved in a negative way is when my brother called me to tell me that my mom had gone to Heaven. The moment that moved in a positive way is marrying my wife.
my best friend’s family fostered me while my family was breaking down, shortly before i went into care. her nana went with me to a shop where i could get my school uniform. we arrived early, so we went to a coffee shop across the street and had a hot drink while waiting for the shop to open. we got into a deep conversation, and she started talking about my foster mam’s dad, my best friend’s grandfather. he died young from a progressive movement/muscular disease. my friend’s nana told me about how she felt angry and emotional and her grief overwhelmed her when she would see people with their families joking and laughing, or even just being normal. it drove her to the point of standing at the side of the road, ready to step out in front of oncoming traffic when my friend’s face just appeared in her mind (my friend’s brother was not born at this point) and she “came to her senses” if you will. there were definitely tears in my eyes, and i told her how sorry i was and recalled a similar incident my mam had after my younger sister died. for someone who i considered my own nana to tell me something so deeply personal and trust me with that was definitely a hugely moving moment. i also have a couple from the twenty one pilots concert i went to last night but this was very very personal and i definitely love pam. she’s getting remarried this year and i couldn’t be prouder and happier.
When my grandmother was on her deathbed my brother played her music. Her memory was pretty much gone from her sickness and she didn't recognize us but the next day she remember the music. It was probably the last happy memory she had before she died. My brother has described himself as sort of a black sheep of the family since his life hasn't taken a traditional trajectory. But that moment reminds me that sometimes we might feel things don't matter until until they really, really matter.
The cookie jar guy! (Actually I would LOVE to have my grandma's! She's 93 and my grandpa's 95 and I've loved that cookie jar my whole life). Also the best man guy💗. Wonderful!
We were so poor. My mother and father happened to win two turkeys at work. My mom called DFACS to see if a family could use the extra turkey for Thanksgiving. The lady came to our house to pick it up. She was crying and my whole family started crying after she left, My mom, dad, brother and sister and me. All of us bawled for a while. We were poor but in that very moment we felt rich! Lesson: when you feel less than or a victim: HELP SOMEONE ELSE IN ANY WAY YOU CAN. I will NEVER forget that moment. ALL kids need to witness this, especially if they are poor. It is empowering in a way that you can't be taught in schools, commercials, etc. Lead by example in your families everyone. I LOVE this question!!!
Yesterday was my graduation from uni and all my family showed up even though all of them had work that day and my brother out of nowhere carried me when we stepped out the door 😄❤️
What moved me was one of the days I felt Soo down and when I went back to foam this cute girl toddler ran the me and hugged me around my legs and started smiling at me .I felt Soo much better😍😍😍😍😍
at 10 years old, seeing my aunt throw herself while crying and screaming over her baby brother's coffin both emotionally scarred and moved me. it brought me to tears and until I was older I didn't even understand why; to see that love and heartbreak.
I had a conversation here on RU-vid, it was a video of school field trip that went wrong. One clip showed kids who were badly sunburned (2nd and 3rd degree burns with big boils) and a guy asked why the kids spent so long in the hospital when he only spent a week after a concussion.But he went on to explain it wasn't a ordinary concussion.He was a construction worker and fell about 30 feet headfirst.He went to the hospital and only spent a week in there, then they told him something about needing beds so they sent him home. His concussion was bad enough that he now has memory loss,it completely changed his life. He's went to support groups to "help him get used to his new self" in his words. I had a small conversation with him and it had a really positive impact on me which is rare to find on the internet.
Something that really moved me: (it didn't really move me much at the time until after my grandma passed away.) In 2014 she took me to paris as a 15nth birthday trip. While we were overthere, there was this one day we got lost and we walked around to get back to the Eiffel tower to then go to the hotel. We had been in a museum before we got lost, so that day we had probably walked about 5 to 6 hours till we finally got to the hotel. At the time she had a bad leg so she had to use a cain(idk if thats how is spelled), and she walked wt it at all times to help her leg. At the time I didnt really acknowledge it but a few months ago i found out she had cancer( for YEARS) but she never really told us. It started at the hip and then it spread. The last few month of her life she could barely walk and on her last days she stopped walking completely. She died month ago. One day Something made me think about that trip and i remembered what happened that day we got lost and i felt really moved because now that i think about it, she was basically trying to live her life to the fullest because she knew eventually she wouldn't be able to walk anymore. Another thing that really moved me was all the things she did for me, like how she didn't retire(even tho she was sick and in pain) in order for me to finish my studies.
My brother had a motorbike accident that left him in a coma for 5 months and when he woke up he had mental issues....and a thew years later he tells me he wished he never woke up.
I gave some food to a homeless lady and asked her name ( Tracy) and then the next week I saw her and some of her buddies again and gave them what I had to give, which wasn't much. As I was leaving I heard them nonchalantly and yet so gratefully say, "Thanks Gwen". It was like we were old friends rather than new.
something that moved me recently is that a friend of mine told me that i saved them from committing suicide by talking to them, it felt really special and i started crying at the spot
What moved me oh gosh the day my young sister's friend passed away she was the only friend she had and it's 3years but she still cries like it was yesterday I really don't know how to comfort her so only time I she i see her crying it really makes me appreciate life
I give music lessons to underpriviledge children. Sometimes I take them to care homes to sing and play instruments for the elderly. Afterwards I take them out to the arcade, gardens etc. 1 day after we came from a home we went to the arcade. While they were waiting for lunch an elderly man came to them told them it's his birthday and asked them to sing for him. After they sung for him he bought ice cream cones with dipping for all of them. He was so nice. I was so glad he saved me some and allowed me to do something extra for them. We thanked him but I wish we could have done more to make his day special.
The dog story got me ): just a month ago my dog died in front of me. I had her since i was 6, for 12 years. I was home alone and had no idea what to do, and was too scared to touch her while she was wheezing on the ground. i really wish i would have pet her so she didn't die so scared, or so she knew i was with her. I've thought about it every night and don't know how to get over the guilt i feel
These are great stories. Even the guy without anything that moves him is interesting. Your videos move me and make me feel human. I am curious to know how the interview ends. Is it a. “Thank you” and then he person leaves in deep thought. Do they walk away from you with a smile on their face? I know it depends but I’m curious to know how your interviews end.
I've had a lot of moving moments from people I was in downtown San Diego the VA head has me at the 500 Broadway it was a nightmare hell I thought being homeless was better than that place most of the time I'm an alcoholic I love beer it kills the pain and makes my music sound beautiful to me there was a young black man at the bus stop handsome kid dressed Sharp I was talking to him I was headed to the VA on the bus he was going to a job interview this man didn't even have a job and he handed me $20 I said brother I'll probably buy beer with that he said I don't care have a beer he was beautiful so when I got to the VA I bought lunch and I went to the store and had a beer I'm set in my favorite place listen to my music and prayed for that kid I got another one if anyone wants to hear it I was on Garnett it was at night I had smashed my guitar earlier that week because I don't handle stress well and this young man stop and talk to me 4 hours it seemed he literally empty his pockets gave me everything he had including the change it started to rain he headed home I told him I was in love with my social worker he turned around he literally took the shirt off his back so I could wear something nice when she saw me the next time he was an alcoholic he was suffering he said I go out I spend all my money on booze just so I can talk to women and I'm so lonely and now 8 years later I have tears in my eyes for that kid and I hope he's okay
Yesterday I spoke to my friend in Tanzania. He told me he loves me because I’m most caring women he has ever known . Funny that we have never met in person. We have known each other for 3 years . I’m watching all your videos and asking him same questions. I make him think ! Lol !
I remember when one of our close friends died on a motor accident, it was really the saddest part of our life and then I just realized that life is so short so we should live our life to the fullest and do whatever makes us feel happy while we still can.
