Loved this video, the whole thing (the content, the way it was filmed and the music!). What did you use to film the more recent clips? I want to start taking videos just for myself to document my life more, and I like this aesthetic, but I don't really know what to use to do it
thank you so much🥺❤️ i used a sony a6400 w/ a sony 35mm oss 1.8 lens, but usually for talking videos i use a sigma 16mm lens so i dont have to be so far away from the camera (the 35mm makes things very zoomed in). Hope that helps!
I really loved the music in this video and had no idea you produced it - so beautiful! Lovely and timely video too, your words always encourage my soul.
I’m watching this 3am at night and honestly this is so timely I’ve be struggling with keeping a job even with the goal of finally moving out on my own. Every time I lost the job due to my skills it has made me loose less hope of making stable income. This moment of my life is the most stuck I’ve ever been but I’m glad I am not alone . I’m so glad you posted again after a few months Gia. ❤
I seriously needed this. I just turned 23, i just dropped out of uni. Everything has been feeling real overwhelming lately and I felt kinda lost. Thanks for this, i really needed to hear that it's just where I'm supposed to be rn and it'll be okay.
Hey man, I may be stranger to you but I wish you the best in this world, you are not alone, you are unique on your own, you can do anything you want in your life as long you are alive, btw I'm also 23 and I kinda have similar feelings but reading your comment makes me realize I'm not alone, take care man.
I’m turning 23 soon too and I understand 100%. It’s a very confusing period, but we all have so much time:) I know both of you are going to do great things and I’m rooting for you! All the best❤️
@@MichelleGia Well I wish you happy birthday in advance and that 23 will bring much more abundance of clarity and peace towards your life, I remember watching your first video last year when I had my surgery on my head and from being in bad sitaution and different thoughts, I woke up today with video of you on my recommendation or subscription page and your video is just what I needed to hear because we're in this part of where everything is going so fast around us and everyone trying to tell us this or that, how we should live, that we should have already figured it out everything while it's not that easy but we have so much more opportunities in this life that we can do anything and I know that for one simple reason and that is because we're alive and as long as we are alive anything is possible, btw sorry if you couldn't understand everything because English is my second language, thank you for your comment Michelle and I wish you the best in your life and to your family and hopefully that we all see you uploading more videos because you don't know how much you can help someone and bring so much clarity and peace just to one person, so imagine when you have thousands of people that you inspire with only one video, thank you one more for being so real and open in front of people who are following you, watching you and who just came across your video, channel.
wow! time really flies. i have been off of college for more than one year now (february of 2023). yes, i made a scary choice to change my career. traded travelling around the world (the nature of my work) to be home to figure shit out. i am glad i felt brave to do what i know was good for me. i wouldn't change a single thing because i have spent 4 months with my father and grandmother (they passed last july of 2023). glad i stayed home, glad they knew and supported my decision, glad that at least i get to spend a little time with them. i miss them so much and this video gave me the reassurance that i will be fine. i may not figure life out but trust that you are where you are. life could still be beautiful despite the pain. i am not alone.
You were a writer at 13, and still are - always with your magical timing All those videos were so beautiful, shoutout to your dad for real because those moments are so precious to look back on
This came at the right time. Currently on crossroads regarding my business - lost bunch of clients and I had to layoff one great employee. Seems like everything is going wrong, leaving me with a feeling that I'm constantly running behind. Just cannot fathom behind what - what's the urge? Life is weird, man. Been watching your content since the "leaving social media" video, as I left it at the same time. Such a underappreciated channel. Keep exploring landscapes of mental realm through your videos and keep up the great work, Michelle! All the best
Hello thank you for being here:) I’m so sorry to hear, I’m wishing you nothing but the best, and I know things will work itself out! What you said was exactly it, I always feel behind, but I never know in reference to what. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch❤️
I’ve been waiting so long for a new video from you! I just turned 27 and most people would look at my life and think I actually do have it all together, but it never feels like that and life is still so scary no matter where you’re at. I always just tell myself what is meant for me will be given to me and what isn’t, is for the better. Also, love the shots and videos of the waters, cherry blossoms and the CN tower! I live in the same area, would be so cool to run into you sometime! Keep up the awesome work you inspire me immensely. Wish I had your knowledge and wisdom at 23. You’re doing great girl.
ahhh my fellow Torontonian🥹❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words, they really mean a lot! Exactly, I always feel like im chasing some arbitrary definition of success, but its so important to trust yourself and where you are:) Also, happy belated to you, wishing nothing but the best for you this upcoming year🥳
dearest michelle, watching this video felt like a really warm hug 🥹 as i navigate my 20’s i’ve been feeling similar experiences & your 13 year old self ate with that writing!! thank you for sharing your reflections with us, there’s something so magical & heartwarming about your storytelling 💞
Sylvia😭❤️ I love you so much, thank you for always cheering me on. You inspire me so much and I’m so lucky to have you in my life:) will be counting the day until I get to see you again😢
michelle, you always seem to post exactly when i need a little bit of reassurance that everything is going to be okay. i feel like despite doing everything I'm "supposed to", i still feel quite empty on the inside most days and lack the sense of fulfillment i thought i would be experiencing. but i'm reminding myself that what is meant for me will find me when it does. there is no rush, and enjoying each day, each season of my life is all i'm meant to be doing. everything will fall into place just like it always has and will continue to. beautiful video and storytelling as always
Awe Jenn🥹❤️ I’m always so happy to hear from you! It means so much to me that you enjoyed the vid. I’ve always admired your drive towards all the things you’ve pursued, and I have no doubts you’re doing amazing things rn (and will continue to so) despite those feeling. I’m always rooting for you and I hope you’ve been well:) sending you so much love
i really needed to hear this. I've been feeling like I haven't lived my life properly as a 20-something-year-old and this really assured me that we're all in our timeline. there's no need to rush things; if things are meant to be, they will stay. also, your videos are the best!!
thank you michelle for this! you always remind me of how important it is to slow down and never compare your timeline and progress with anyone's. we'll always be filled with gratitude for your existence ❤
Amazing cinematography, amazing words. Honestly I cried the entire video especially after "It's a crazy feeling when you know the most you've ever known, but you also fell the most lost you've ever felt". Thank you so much for sharing your feels in such honest and pretty way. Let's do our best to figured out what trully makes us happy !
thank you for sticking around🥺🫶🏼 i understand exactly how you feel, but I know you're gonna do great things❤️ hope the rest of this year treats you well!
this is so beautifully made. thanks for sharing the footage and memories you have with your family. as i get older, i find it difficult to find people that share my values and perspectives on life, which are very much based on the importance of deep connection with other humans, animals and nature. today everyone is really work oriented.. i believe that enjoying one’s job is a good thing of course, but the ultimate purpose of working should be to provide for the financial stability that allows to build those connections.
Awe thank you so much❤️ I feel you 100%, it can be so hard and frustrating finding people who align with you, especially as an adult. But I know you’ll find your people one day, and it’ll be so worth the wait:)
This such a cheering video for me rn bcs i'm not in good health condition and my finance was miserable 😭,hope you and all the viewers always happy,healthy and secured ❤
You don’t have to link your future path with this if you don’t want to, but I think you have a genuine skill in shot composition, editing and storytelling Michelle. This video is beautifully made. 💛 As a college student, I also feel quite lost. I’m not sure if my degree suits me but I also don’t see anything else that fits me much better. I think I’m at the point in life where there’s nothing right in front of me that suits me much better than what I have. So all I can do is try different things and see if they lead me towards a path that feels purposeful and enjoyable.
you inspire so many people and i’m glad you’ve posted again. you’re words are true,but sometimes in the moment of hardship,it’s hard to see the light. the way this was filmed reminds me of a movie,great job!
got this video at perfect time when i needed it ! i constantly keep coming back and checking your channel for any new update i hope you are doing great and happy and healthy lots of love to you michelle ⭐🧿💗
That was so beautiful, it felt like you holding my hands and reasurring to me everything's gonna be alright, you're doing whats meant for you, stay focus and enjoy your time. Thank you 🥹🫂🙏🏾🩷🩷
Ohh wow! This so beautiful and inspiring 💌 I think regardless of where we're at a lot of us tend to feel behind at certain moments of our life. I'm 25 moved across the world from Mexico to Germany for love have a 2 year old and finished university. I'm now a model and have a job at a boutique bot part time and I feel sooo behind just because I don't have a job in the field of my studies, earn well at all or live in a beautiful spacious home. Funny how our minds can trick us. Anyways thanks for the kind words they might not cure my insecurities but they sure help comfort and motivate me.
wow that is so amazing❤️ it takes so much courage to move so far away, and hearing your story is so inspiring to me:) I understand you completely, its so easy to compare ourselves. If it means anything, I think your story and what you're doing is so cool and I know you're going to figure it all out! Thank you for watching and all the best to you
Literally burst into tears within the first couple minutes of watching this. I'm back in university after taking some time off, debating if it's still what I want to continue doing. So so so much of this resonated with me. Thank you so much for sharing, take your time with the posting but I do hope to see more videos whenever you're able to make them!
Ahh hii girl🥹🫶🏼 I’m so happy it helped in any way, you’re not alone and I feel you completely. I have no doubts that things will all work out for you:) sending hugs and love to you, thank you for the kind words
Michelle, your videos are always a piece of fine art and food for the soul, a light, something that soothe you inside. Thank you for just existing. I've missed you and I hope you're really well. ❤
I’m 30 years old and I feel so left behind. Everyone in my life is so ahead of me. I’m so broke and I don’t know where to go next. Like what’s next in my life 🥺
Hi! New subscriber here. I've not been checking this YT account in a while. When I did, this is the first video that I saw. I'm 24 years old now, I lost my job last october and until now I still don't have a one. Upon job hunting, it became more difficult for me as I keep being rejected or the calls aren't coming, and dissapointment consumes me. I feel lost, sad, and like a failure. So, thank you for posting this video, I appreciate it so much. I needed to hear this rn. This gave me a little hope that one day I'll be able to figure things out. 💛
Hello! Welcome, I’m really grateful to have you here❤️ I’m so sorry to hear, please don’t be too hard on yourself. I know things will fall in place for you. I’m sending you a lot of love and I’m wishing you all the best rn:)
I just want to say thank you. I know social media isn't your thing anymore, but wish you had like an email or po box where we could send you encouragement. It feels somewhat comforting knowing someone else out there feels a little lost, following nothing but their heart, and believing your winding trail leads you to where you need to go
im so glad you enjoyed! i used a sony a6400 w/ a sony 35mm oss f1.8 lens for most of this vid:) and older footage was just from my dads panasonic palmcorder
