this was so healing. true, authentic emotions made beautiful by your cinematography. you're an artist anja, your photos, drawings and YOUR WORDS. truly amazing
bro when you told us about y'all spending the last night together and you asked him if he wanted you to give him his heart back and he said "no, you can keep it" I started crying
As someone who hasn't experienced romantic love at 26, struggled and continues to find and maintain platonic relationships, and has the fear of dying without experiencing my image of love. This video served as a beautiful and sad reminder that we're all struggling in this life because when I watch your videos, Anja, I see a person who embodies a confidence, joy, and fearlessness I wish I had. I hope you and I both find the love that we deserve.
Hi there, trust me the friendships you make will always always be the most important kind of love. And then eventually romantic love will find its way to you. And good luck on your journey to finding the confidence, joy and love you wish for. Lots of love from some corner of the world.
I’m actually tearing up this was so beautiful. you fell in love with life and the love you can receive from it and that’s something i want so desperately but never feel deserving of. your videos teach me so much Anja even though they teach you too, maybe we’re all meant to just learn to live and love together, but like in waves from the sea 💙
Im in my 20s confused n lost (also missing my ex). This video was my therapy. You won’t believe how much I cried and laughed watching it. Your vulnerability gave me comfort. Thank you Anja for this art. This is amazing❤
Anja, these videos are such a gift for your future self. In twenty years (an eternity and a blink) you'll re-watch these and marvel at who you were and how it was you were ever that impossibly young. You will have so many adventures and loves; I hope you continue to have a full life with more joy than sorrow and more laughter than tears. And frankly, as one who is more than twenty years your senior, I wish this for myself as well.
I haven't enjoyed watching a youtube video this much for a long time. i can truly see and feel how much love you put into creating this story, down to the music choices you included. thank you for your hard work, thank you for your vulnerability, thank you for your words and thank you for being here
It is so funny how a complete stranger who I have been watching since 2019 can make me feel understood in so many different ways. I am currently in her months before the boat and I hope to find my boat soon... Love you Anja and wishing you all the best.
THE EDITING AND PRODUCTION IS UNMATCHED 🤩 I love how you go back and forth between the 6 days of the trip and months of your life (by diary) before!! So intriguing. Very much like an indie movie production and I’m obsessed 🥹👏🏼
Anja I am 4 minutes in. I‘m in Stockholm right now, but that is besides the point. As soon as I read the title I ignored all my plans for now, thank you so much for this. so, so much. I’ve been travelling for a year now, met so many people, had so many adventures. I learned to love it all, but it just made me so very confused about what I actually want in life and what I think is important. I am certain this video will connect a lot of people feeling this way, which, let‘s be honest, probably means most of us. Thank you. Bonding over and talking about this is so very healing for me. Thank you for your honesty and aliveness, Anja. From the bottom of my heart, all my love
Woaw Anja Gotta be honest, it had been a while since I stopped watching your videos. I think because I felt your loneliness at times, and I just prefer watching upbeat/funny stories. Anyhow, regardless of that, I am soooo impressed by your storytelling. It has improved so much. The camera work, the transitions, the poetry. Although, there is a sadness to this story, I feel like there's hope. Thanks for sharing your always raw, true self. It takes a lot of courage. Keep sailing through life xx
Same, I’ve watched her since her exchange year? I don’t remember how long it was. But she has changed so much since. Idk kinda feel like a proud sister. Love her storytelling
i love that you show not only moments when you’re vulnerable and unsure of feelings, but also moments when you’re doing things that are courageous and different. it’s very comforting, bc i feel like you’re living life exactly how anyone should. the good parts, the bad parts, the easy parts, and the hard parts. you wrap it all together so beautifully for your videos. i’ve been watching you since you painted murals on your bedroom walls and it’s been great to see your journey through life. ❤️
anja u never fail to make me feel something so deep and profound. i know we are bestfriends in another dimension. that was perfect. thanku for sharing. i am so moved and inspired
I haven't been watching RU-vid videos as often as I used to. This video caught my attention because I haven't watched anything from you in a while. It just reminded me how much I loved your content and your spirit. You are one of the guides in my life and I hope you can continue having such fun journeys.
Sailing, being with a group of people on one boat, sharing one space for some time can really change your perspective on life. You start to learn about others, but also about yourself. How do you react. There is time for talking, stargazing, swimming, cooking, etc, so this really bonds the group. I love sailing very much.
this moved me very much at a time that was synchronistic to do so, it brought up so many feelings and deep memories. deep, sensitive story telling and visually masterful that perfectly tells the story of your heart and also 'the' heart.
Anja, how you manage to share just a bit more of yourself with each video just makes my heart happy. Your vulnerability is a lighthouse to many sailboats, I'm sure.
i just felt it. i felt understood by your words - feeling like you understand them better then i do. i gave me insight into myself like no external stimulation in a long time did. just thanks you and a warm hug!
This is a poem. Its like your healing is contagious and my heart feels so full of warmth. And this heart is heavy and light and the same time now. It aches at how through finding love you learned to also give it up.
I honestly felt like this video healed something in me. For the 28 minutes i felt like I was in a dream world. What you captured was so beautiful and vulnerable… I felt the connections and good vibes of this trip through the trip and genuinely want to experience this with people that are likeminded… so dreamy. I connected a lot with you and your feelings and I wish to find this love of life at one point. THANK YOU!
I am experiencing exactly the same right now, so thank you, Anja, for sharing your story. I feel the cracks of my shell while expanding. It hurts so much, but going back to my past self seems to be impossible. I think I just have to follow the wind and see whats out there. Thank you so so much, your art makes me feel less alone with my experience ❤️
this healed and shattered me in so many different ways... thank you for being you Anja, thank you for being vulnerable and showing us that happiness can be found and we just have to face the right direction to see it. Much love to you x
I've been following your beautiful journey almost since the beginning of your videos and I myself am going through a breakup right now, watching this video made me tear up and feel bitter sweet. thank you for your art Anja
This video was so healing. Thank you Anja! It made my day so much better. I appreciate the thoughts you‘re sharing and the work and art you put into your videos. It’s beautiful to watch. You share so much will for experiencing life.
Ahh this one hits deep... I'm moving through a recent break up as well. Something deep within me told me it was time to leave. But it was all so sad :(
Seriously love you 💗 Anja. You are such a sweet person and you seem such a joy to be around. There are of course many turmoils in life but i love how open you are about them and share it with us 😊 Your videos are literally something that i look forward to they are such masterpieces. I hope you keep doing what you do ❤
So moving - thank you for sharing the intimate moments of your life. I found myself immersed in tears or gratitude at the conclusion for those amazing humans I’ve met who too have fueled my soul ❤
This video is beautiful, Anja. I shed tears towards the end. I felt such strong emotions through the moments and the voiceover. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us. Seeing love emanate through the screen makes me realize that we humans need more moments like these 💌🌊
thank you for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable here. the internet can be a scary and mean place but you show what feels right to you no matter what anyone says and i think you’re so cool for that 🤍
I recently got back from a three day long trip to a racetrack with my brother and his friends. It was a tribute to our father who we just lost. We drag raced his car and I met so many different kinds of people. It was honestly such a freeing trip. It showed me that I can vibe with others and create friends even just by talking in line for the bathroom. I really hope to go on more trips like that again.
Thank you for this video........ you have a way with your art -- storytelling, creating a beautiful picture for us. You are not alone in your fears and that boat trip proved how most of us want love and acceptance to be ourselves. Thank you for your vulnerability and keep shining and loving life
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and wowwwww it was amazing. Your journal, the way you document, your energy! I think it hit harder bc I just went on my first sailing trip a month ago- 7 days in Italy! With a selected group of people by the captain for his bday. I didn’t know most people. Ahhh it was so amazing though. Thank you for creating such beautiful art 🧡
Anja i sit and watch your videos and viscerally i feel my emotions from deep in my core stirring up, I am so grateful for all that you share. Although I’m a couple years younger, I see myself in your videos. You’ve helped me not be afraid of so many things. Being able to watch you overcome and grow and gain clarity and be free is so special your videos leave me with a magical feeling of excitement to live and be alive and grow up and fall in love and be in tune with my emotions. And I just wanted to say thank you,
anjas videos are always so beautiful truely and authentic human. i’ve loved your videos for years and love when you finally post i get so happy to see what adventures you’ve been on. this video was beautiful much love anja
So interesting seeing how some people live life. Sailing is cool but i am a land dweller, i cant be bobbing all night in a small space. Also writing in a diary, i just dont have the will and i just feel its such a waste of time i could be having fun doing anything else but i guess on a boat not much to do. Enjoy it :D
A diary is so fun to have, I highly recommend you at least try! It’s not for everyone but sometimes just putting your thoughts to paper really does something. And you can go back and read all your memories and thoughts and see how much you have grown ✨
@@hannahoi746 interesting take on it. I got a few hobbies that keep me busy. Just upload photos to insta or fb and the memories of my fun times pops up every year. Really not a reading fan. 🙈
I follow you since covid hit and I really appreciate your openess, this childishness you cherish and this determination you share with us of getting to know yourself and your needs better and better over the years. It feels so great as an artist myself, to follow these kinds of humans, it gives me hope. Besides that, reading the comments makes me want to meet some people who also follow you. It seems like a very healthy community :)
anja this video is so so beautiful. your way of storytelling has a way of making me feel like everything else is background and like im experiencing your adventures and emotions myself. as i watched this, i was annotating it in my head like you would a book, so therapeutic and inspiring
. anja i’ve been watching you silently since you did bob ross paintings on your walls. and let me just say i fucking adore your content, especially what it has become. the artistry, authenticity, and cinematography is just on another level.
Seeing you happy on that sailboat made me happy. I was grinning throughout the whole video even though it was an emotional ride for you, you learned something for yourself and for your happiness. Your aura is amazing Anja! Thank you ❤🧿
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable thing with us. Videos like this make a positive impact in the world, honestly its more thaj a video it feels likw a film.
@@ANJAexists Oh girlll i'm glad you answer!! I'm looking at your videos from days now and I feel so similar to your vibe. I also love so much Berlin and i'd love to live there. Hope to meet you one day there ahah hugs from Italy!
Love diary entries! I've been writing for as long as I can remember and I often share my little pages with friends. I feel like it's a part of sharing your experience as a human and for some expression is in form of words.
Your videos always make me cry, they are so beautiful and real, just like you. I think I’m gonna start my video diaries just for me, thank u for yogurt and inspiration 🫀🫂
this is beautiful. it made me feel so much and made me feel so seen. it reminded me of my last relationshsip. you described all these emotions of love and all of these doubts i felt back then but did not have the words to express. thank you for sharing
Just thank you for this absolutely beautiful journey you took us on! Living is hard, finding your place even harder. So I am incredibly proud of you for doing it all on your own time
This is so wild. I just spent two weeks in Corsica in the south of France with a bunch of strangers and went through such a similar experience, initial anxiety, curiosity, excitement, gratitude, and weightless love. When I got home I knew I needed to break things off w my bf of 6 yrs… it’s been a lot to process since being back home. I’m amazed by how you were able to write and capture all of your emotions and am so happy you felt comfortable enough to share. Thank you
anja. thank you for being so raw with us. im going thru a tough relationship now and im not sure it will last. your video made me sob and im so proud of you for leaving. you hold so much strength. you inspire me to start a youtube channel someday soon. i love you.
I think I never commented a RU-vid video in my life before but now I just have to! Thank you so much for this beautiful peace of art and thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotion with us. I felt so much during your video. My heart was hurting and flowering at the same time. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on YT. Thank you so much! You are such a wonderful soul Anja
absolutely beautiful video Anja. Ive followed for many years and your artistic voice is really shining. thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us.
Of course being young, mostly healthy, white, privileged, on a boat trip with strangers is all entertaining, easy brought to metaphoric pictures and thoughtful and emotional conclusions or wonders. Thats the easy part. I enjoy and appreciate it ( without believing its super deep or true or wise or whatsoever ). But what i am really nurtured by is the artful pictures, cuts, dramaturgy, storytelling, transformations....small moments of honest melancholic and accepting thoughts. A lot of people already said it-its so artfull!! Thanks for that!!! Beautiful shapes and speaking through pictures, a beautiful documentary and abstraction at the same time of being young and free and able to travel and connect
Expectations aren’t really helpful. Simply knowing one Self and what one wants. Detach, detach, detach. True love for self. Let all else go. Beautiful video. Enjoy life.
this is the first video of yours that im seeing and girl you need to recognized more. Your videos are just art this is a literal movie like a biography absolutely gorgeus ! immeadietly subscribing ❤❤
Du bist eine Künstlerin Anya. Ich bin immer glücklich, wenn deine Videos kommen. In deinen Videos lerne ich immer neue Sachen zu entdecken und zu lieben egal wie emotional es wird, es lohnt sich ❤
