thank you! u r golden, it makes sense u r not popular but you are very special! looking forward for your next masterpiece
love love love this
Thank you! 🧡
Beautiful
Thank you
your voice is really pretty :)
@@aspenvo thankyou for saying that, I was sick for half of this recording but I didn't want to redo it and have it sound too scripted ☺️
chills down my spine, this is the first video i watched in months that actually had me stop in my tracks and think, "actually, no. I want to linger here awhile. Watch this video one more time, twice just for the measure. I need to remember this, this is worth remembering when i forgot more important stuff." Absolutely gorgeous editing, i adore the flow of the imageries, i adore how seamless and liquid your transitions from idea to idea feel, and i adore how sincere and bare your recounts of everyday moments are. wonderous work really, sitting to watch this video and listening to your revelations healed a part of my mind that i didn't quite know was broken. Thank you so much for creating and sharing your experiences, for your honest diary, and hope to see so many many more of your videos and photographs in the near future 💗💕💓
@@farimahzorriasatein7475 this is so so lovely. Thankyou for telling me, it feels weird putting personal thoughts out here but this reminds me why I want to share my experiences. I'm so glad it meant something for you. Thank you ✨
LOVED this so freaking much [Edit] "Buddy" was so right about you. being honest and vulnerable is what makes your art so good. i feel heard whenever i watch your videos
Thank you so much, it's really nice to hear 🧡
What a cool video!!! Love your art. This relates so much to my current writing, I realized only yesterday that as I was writing songs I would step back into the third person out of fear of relating the lyrics I had written to my current life and having to confront uncomfortable emotions. Only now am I realizing that the whole purpose of art is to confront and acknowledge our emotions and that the release is so much better when you’re honest with yourself. Keep doin what you’re doin!!! Love to see what you got coming down the line :)
@@mrblobifier thankyou! It means alot. Also I only started listening to the audiobook yesterday but rick Rubin's book the creative act-a way of being is really helpful for this, particularly for song writing practice, he talks specifically about the thing you just expressed, definitely recommend.
the photos are amazing!
@@strillos5096 that is so nice to hear, I've been feeling overwhelmed by the beauty in all the little things but never sure if it translates to the images. Thankyou 🧡
you have an eye for images plus your lighting and framing are great! I Love photography and this is inspiring me to take some more photos.
@@crustycandy3235 that's so nice of you to say! I've really been enjoying the process ✨
THANK YOU! That's just what I needed to hear.... I've saved this video so I can keep reminding myself of why I tread the path I'm on... Beautifully presented and very relatable! ♥
@@ooakleaf thankyou! So nice to hear 🧡
That’s a pretty good video 😊😊 grind it out
Thank you
"I don't think art can ever be realized alone." Welp, there's my exit.
@@johndoe-rq1pu I'm curious how you feel about this? I'm interested in discussing this idea. I myself am someone who's work is always made alone and often not seen by people, I've become interested in the ways ideas have evolved when sharing them, even just in discussion with one person. I believe in the idea of making work for yourself and not an imagined audience, but also think there is an added layer for ourselves to our work when we find out we aren't alone in what we are expressing. I'd love to hear how you feel about it.
@@narikamckenzie I've encountered roughly three types of people when sharing art: One who will tell you that even the rag you use to clean your brushes is actually modern art and any minute you're going to be famous etc, and they're probably well-meaning but they aren't good enough at acting to be convincing; One who thinks you're an amazing artist as long as you're painting their fence or fixing their powerpoint and not actually doing art; and One who is just delighted to tell you how you're wasting your time. I'm sure there are artists who have found helpful and supportive people and people who have found artists whose work enriches their lives--that's probably the only way it would be worthwhile, I certainly get no joy from adding to the stacks--but I wouldn't even know where to begin looking except in cheesy movies.
@@johndoe-rq1pu I understand that, and recently I have had the experience of feeling like I rediscovered photography for myself where the process of going out and seeing things became the art for me more so than the end result, but in sharing some recent work and having connected with people over it the work itself has evolved for me. I think being the person who tells someone else their work means something to you is also part of making art, I think letting other people know their work resonates with you, that they're not just adding to the stacks, ends up offering you something as well as them. That was my experience with joining the writing class and I had intended to be an anonymous observer, if I hadn't put myself out there I would have missed the inspiration that came from it and the experience of making the work that has followed. Don't get me wrong, definitely feel like I'm adding to the stacks alot of the time, but I don't know how to do anything else 🫠 You don't know who might need your work till you put it out there.
@@narikamckenzie Glad that you've had so many positive experiences with making and sharing your art.
This is what the world needs more of today, thank you for being a positive force 🙏 stay safe on your journey
@@austins.2495 thankyou for the encouragement, it helps 😊

✨🎞️✨
Great documenting!
One of the most unique videos ive seen in a long time, with a message so real and important for me to hear. Thank you, please never stop sharing your art <3
TH-cam suggestion god blesses the feed today
Wow, your content is so cool, I like the way you cut the video! :D I relate to your message, take time, and do it.
@@cloudyrainee thankyou so much 🧡
severely underrated
Subscribing on principle alone
I enjoy the way your words feel comfortable leaving your mouth. I buy what you’re saying instead of waiting to be sold on it. You have an honesty and a familiarity and I’m appreciative that you’re expressing it! A gift to us :)
@@AuDHaciDy this is so lovely, really appreciate the encouragement.
This is dope, I enjoyed your style. Always a great message for artists
Thankyou 🧡 love your account name, relateable 😊
This video gave me a spark of creative lightening, the way you put it together just scratches an itch in my brain and inspires me to create. I’m definitely following you to see what comes next. (And btw, congrats on picking the superset back up even when we're not on schedule anymore, I finished G in December, and I just posted H a few days ago! We got this!!)
@@kyliefrom06 thankyou for sharing, it means alot. And same to you on picking it back up, I've been enjoying the journey/detours
@@narikamckenziehey, detours are fun! Usually makes your art better in the long run. 🤍
Hold On Narika!
Great video! Have you ever found your words or images have eclipsed or overwritten what they were originally about?
Thankyou! I think I've been finding that attempting to articulate the things I've been experiencing has caused my awareness of them to grow, giving meaning to the things I'm drawn to capture has caused me to find more meaning in small things every day. I'm not sure if it translates into the images themselves so it's lovely getting feedback from people viewing the work.
I fucking love this!!! Thank you so much for showing us your beautiful art
Thank you 💙
This is so insanely beautiful i loved this so much
Thankyou ❣️
I absolutely love this. as artists we find the beauty in everything
Thank you❣️
loving the drawings and the layering with photos and footage underneath!! this is so high quality. you're getting better and better!
@@sarahtakesnotes thankyou! The animation is a new attempt for me, I've always wanted to try.
This deserve good appreciation, such heart warming video ❤️
@@ahiyaC thankyou! Means so much ❣️
This is beautiful and comforting please never delete this
Thankyou 💙
🦋👁️🦋 Look at all these lovely past selves; glad you created such a beautiful thing
It's beautiful to look back on, what babies we were. Feel younger and older at the same time 💙
beautiful <3 beautiful message, words, shots. i can feel the life you're talking about
Thanks for your kind words, feels hard to articulate in a few minutes, so nice to hear from someone's outside perspective 🧡
Thank you for the video.
Ok but I cried. The ending touched me in so many ways I could barely take it. Simply WOW
Thank you so much for such kind words 🥹
I agree, “you’re good enough” can give different feelings. Such a neutral remark can still mean a world for someone who resents themself. Since accepting yourself is always better than just resenting you can’t fully control.
"is good to talk with someone who understands" so powerful. once again, proving how talented you are. do NOT stop making these
@@sarahtakesnotes ❣️ finding inspiration in the weird little moments is keeping me going 🫠
@@narikamckenzie haha i totally feel you, and that's exactly the fuel that we creatives need🤍
Attracted by the thumbnail, i stayed for the visuals, the voice, the editing. This gave me chills, seriously amazing.
@@sarahtakesnotes thanks so much for saying this 🧡 appreciate the encouragement
@@narikamckenzie people are gonna realize your talent very soon 🤍
