Thank you Justine & Michael 💚
Many of us spend our lives twisting ourselves into shapes that are unnatural and uncomfortable in the hopes of gaining acceptance from others. We do this in an effort to live up to their expectations, or avoid conflict. And in doing this, we fail to recognise what we deeply desire for ourselves and what is true within our own heart.
If you're trying so hard to fit in, you're missing out on all the benefits of stepping out and really being you - that person that comes out when no one's looking, when your guard is down - that's you. And the good news is, we're all waiting for you to do it. Even though we won't say it out loud, we really want to know what the real you looks like, sounds like, acts like. We want you to do it so we can see just how easy it is for us to do it too. Let it shine!
Filmed in Barrydale, South Africa.

I‘m now 76, single with kids and grandchildren. Im a retired therapist and I just still cannot reconcile why people have children, then send them off to boarding school. I mean yes they have reasons, but none address the abandonment a child suffers. Raising kids is frustrating, time consuming, financially difficult most times. Many have kids to be seen as „normal“ and „functioning“, but not invested. This beautiful soul made it through all that and I‘m so pleased he did. Most don‘t, at least without getting help. Gabor Mate‘s book, The Myth of Normal, helps us with us understanding our trauma and making sense of it, to not just survive but to thrive like this gentleman. Thank you for sharing your journey, so helpful! Namaste, and have a grateful day.❤

Some parents feel it’s an investment for their kids that maybe they’re not confident they can offer. A foot up on life. It does have its toll and benefit. I didn’t send my kids and was blessed with so many more amazing memories and life experiences.

we live in a beautiful natural world infiltrated by shit corporations and shit governments run by psychopaths. of course people feel terribly lonesome and disconnected. we know deep down this fast-paced world is not natural or even healthy and yet we are caught in it. save yourselves and look to what nature shows you; that is beauty in the simplest things, patience, and renewal. the acorns keep falling, no matter how sad i feel, and when i see them i smile because i know its a kernel of hope, that the tree and this world will keep on keeping on. The tree does not despair and keep all her acorns tightly held. She holds no grudge against the long brutal summers of today.

No matter who you are , you are an individual & you are as normal as anyone else , who are kind & understanding others & don’t judge people from the outside , but try to listen to them not, just hear them! This video has opened up my mind going back in my childhood , which was not a happy one , but over the years I’ve met people who used to tell me , my dear Helen , don’t ever change , just keep on being yourself , cos I’m just as good as anyone else & perhaps a bit wiser than many of those who were cruel to me or other kids who were slow or, shy xx God bless this man & keep him safe xx thank you once again for this remarkable insight of other people & their kindness & their struggle , just to be themselves & accept who they are , GODS CHILDREN !!

Hi Helen ,its Graham I decided to look at some of the comments and saw yours, I had a rough boarding school life and its cruel how kids can treat you but what i have realized what does not kill you make you stronger and more able to cope in life .Life itself is not easy and the school of hard knocks does prepare you for the world out there. We grow more in life by the struggles we face and the lessons we learn from it than the education we are given, We have become wiser and more understanding of others and the world on our journey and become much more interesting people in the process, God bless you to and being and Original un programmed person is a blessing in this world where we need to question everything and believe very little of what you are told ,rather take the time to listen to you own little voice its your wise soal speaking to you, Much love and stay Happy XX

I'm also a photographer. I also "hid" behind the camera. Photography has also been a constant in my life-through all the awful hardships and pure blissful happiness. I photographed everything from the doctor holding up the baby I just delivered -to me holding my 10 year old,( deceased) daughters hand. in the hospital. always analog. I also feel like outcast. introverted. deep. like I don't belong or fit in-anywhere. graham is my spirit animal. always busy being perfect and holding in-when I desperately just want to be myself (thanks to childhood full of trauma). thank you. knowing I'm not alone.

Gretchen, you are absolutely beautiful and incredibly strong and such a talented artist. You are the only person who can define yourself ❤ Not letting others distract you and effect your relationship with yourself. Losing your beloved brother was certainly earth shattering and extremely difficult to find your own balance and healing. You are right about the importance of creativity and finding the joy of living and staying present with gratitude and renewed interest in living life with love, openess, and realizing the countless blessings that exist now as you are now. When we have shared our love with another, we are eternally connected energetically with the energies of love forever and always. Love is always present and untouched by any means. Love heals ❤ Love is the magic and the power of our lives ❤ God is love 😍 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us all. Remember that you are absolutely sacred, devine and a gift for the light of your own unique life unfolding in the mystery moment by moment with wonderment and joy in love with celebration through your heart and creativity ❤😊❤

I was discouraged from perusing art as a career but Ive recently turned 44 and feel I'm finally returning to myself and the gifts I’ve been given. Even if it means doing 5 things at once!!

True words of wisdom to live by. Less and less people in this new age hold value in the older days and ways why so many in this generation are more susceptible to depression. Some of the best stories to hear are really not from overhyped individuals who have long been living in their own bubble of comfort, but from those who have experienced real struggles.

Simplicity, slowing down. My goals, but at the moment only a part time thing. I have an 'old' camera here that I got at an auction, there is still film in there but I am not sure who to take it and another roll I have to to get them developed. There is definitely something to be said about film as a recorder of memory time as opposed to the modern digital age , you had to develop at being a good photographer as you basically only had that one shot, where as now, if you do not like the shot you can delete it as soon as you see it, with film we had to wait until we got the prints back to find out how that 'one shot' we desperately wanted to turn out went 🙂 Thank you Graham for sharing part of your world that I relate to in many ways having Autism and Social Anxiety, and thank you for sharing with us your AMAZING camera collection. I have so many OLD negatives that are deteriorating with time and I cannot work out who to take them to in order to try to get their story from them before they themselves are lost to time. I really hope that you have someone who is learning from you about this amazing art form so that it also is not lost to time.

Sometimes people are lucky enough to figure it out at a young age before society and pier pressures poison their potential. He seems very much to be one of those people. I envy him for this. I made it through a pretty tough childhood with ADHD and a mild learning disability. I’d be lying if I said the years of being singled out didn’t take its toll to some degree. At a very young age I learned to fade into the background and not draw attention to myself. When the teacher called on the class to answer a question I was the kid sitting in the back of the class holding my breath hoping they didn’t call on me. I was the kid who always made a point to set low expectations for myself so I wouldn’t disappoint. Through shear luck and the efforts of a loving nurturing mother who did everything in her power to hold me up I managed to graduate college. I am forever grateful to her for that. However, at 50 years old I still carry the emotional scars of my childhood. Like this man and his camera, I had artistic ability and that also helped carry me through. I so love listening to these life stories. They are like vitamins for my soul. ❤

Simply fantastic, simple so inspiring would be the words I'd choose for the film and this man, thank you. My Godfather was an avid analogue photographer, even having his own darkroom where her would develop his many reels of film. He would not even look at the digital photography, thinking it "complicated" and modern (too modern). Sadly he died back in 2004 and he gave me some of his equipment (his actual words were, "you can have these cameras on permanent loan" - he could not bear giving them away, he loved them!!). Thanks for this film, reminded me so much on my Godfather - Jack Walters 1917 - 2004. England.

@@grahamabbott5535 That's true. I actually shifted to a different program after my 3rd year in uni. This program is closer to what I want to do with my time and it doesn't promise good money either compared to the previous one. I've been enjoying it but it hasn't been easy either. I guess nothing comes easy, huh? At least it's so much more fulfilling and rewarding to me, for now, compared to my first program. Just gotta learn to enjoy this journey, you're right. I'm also in a place where I am still not fully committed into following my heart because what I wanted is so not like what the mainstream wanted and most times that doesn't bother me but right now I feel so defected. I need to keep reminding myself that it's alright and I shouldn't anchor my life based on an insecurity but rather the things that make me happy. When i see my friends talking about the latest things they just acquired or want to acquire i feel left out. I just want a simple life. And I don't think that's because I'm settling for mediocrity it's just that I have very basic wants.

I can totally relate to how you have felt about being misunderstood growing up as a creative person....I too grew up the eldest of many siblings on a dairy farm and struggled all the way through school and never liked it very much. I, too, am a creative person who can make paintings and drawings, was a pattern maker in the fashion industry for 25 years and now do remedial/myotherapy and other modalities of healing. I was introverted and dyslexic at school too. People have been intimidated by me, thought I was weird, and often others were too lazy to get to know me, so I get what it feels like to be an outsider. It's only now in my 50's that I'm completely comfortable in my skin. 😊

It's a truly beautiful thing when we finally come to understand that our differences are the light within that we must shine the brightest. This unconsciously gives others around us the permission to do the same, whether they realize it or not. Authenticity is a funny thing in these digitally-driven times, as so often the "next big thing" flashes in a pan of 15 second virality instead of being crafted slowly in a place of solace and peace, where not a single other soul but our own will be present to experience. RU-vid is easily the site I visit most daily and "how to" used to be my most used search term within it. However, this channel has rapidly overtaken that and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I positively anticipate supporting your efforts financially asap.

Like so many of us I've struggled with who I am. This message has reminded me to value and care for my soul. I will live with myself until the day I die and I want that internal friendship to be something that increasingly sustains me.

"What's important in life isn't about what you achieve out there, it's about what you achieve inside" & "You make and lose money, but one thing people can't take away from you is a richness for learning, experiencing, and growing inside" is literally what I needed to hear today. I'm so worried about being the "best" in my career path that honestly I some times forget to do things for my soul and not for the fame & richest. My soul is rich and it will show in my creative work

Amen brother. Going to get my young girls to watch this, for there is much wisdom being shared here. It could help them dramatically as they are in the beginning of their journey in life. For me, half way through, its a confirmation of my experiences and lovely to connect virtually with a soul brother.

Watching this messages just help me love even more my way of perceiving life. Feeling greatful for the water that runs through my body in the morning, for being able to see the colors of the world, being able to observe and feel tenderness of people at any age, all those things have popped up from my inside after years of practicing self connection, from my authentic and most real self, and all these videos shared in this channel make me see the souls that are aware of their connection with the infinite like me, and for that I'm so grateful and inspired.

Thank you for this blessed man. After his horrible boarding school he managed to go to art school. Let more people study arts and meet misfits and originals. Regular persons destroy our world so let's give the other half their try at making us more happy😂

Thank you Mary , i think you right ,one always tries so much harder and becomes more aware when you dont fit in and that sticks with you all your life , Trying always to be super aware of the surroundings and how to manage the situation in your mind that you can see the best outcome for the situation when most dont have that awareness ,it does make you need to be a little Brighter :)
