The last line hit hard. Thank you Daniel for opening up like this, it's very nice to see creators be transparent with their feelings, and mention the fact that not everything is as good as we see it on social media. You are doing absolutely amazing, and you are such a big inspiration for me, and I think for many others. We love you too!
Thanks for sharing the vulnerable side of your life. The peak behind the perfectly curated videos made me respect you even more. But even this you did with immaculate vibes. The sheer curtain + glow from the lamp + jazz. We all noticed
really easy for someone to look at your life through the lens of your video camera and think you have every detail figured out. Your sobering candidness is inspiring. the vulnerability of this makes it so genuine. you're a peoples champion
Daniel, this was so lovely. Thank you for sharing about your life and for your encouragement. We all come from different walks of life and have different current life situations, and we all need that reminder that everyone has lives we don't full see (online or in person) so we must keep that perspective in mind. Thank you for always sharing the beauty around you, the things that bring your joy and the taking us along on that journey. We appreciate you!
Daniel, this was easily one of my favorite videos of yours. Thank you for being so candid with us, and not shying away from highlighting the ups and downs. We appreciate your resilience and including us in your journey!
Thank you for all your inspirational work and all you do with the diaries series. You have inspired me to in many facets of my life. I hope one day I could visit your store, grab a coffee and some flowers while reading a book. Or just gaze at your collection of unique pieces/clothing. That place truly sounds like a dream to me! 😊
For a very long time I thought I liked your video's because of the aesthetics or the vibes. But after this one I now know it's because of you. Your such a real and nice person who fully aknowledges his "team". Just a person from flesh and blood but actually so much more. Thanks for making a moment of peace and zone-out moment every 2 weeks.
11:30 Daniel, I want to let you know how much I get excited when I see London Diaries in my subscription feed. Crazy how something that gives you so much energy and joy gets me so excited! I want you to know that London Diaries ARE my happy place, so I'll be so excited to come to your shop! I'm just 19, but I also have a dream of opening a tea shop one day where you can grab a book off the shelf as you sip your tea. Work hard, you got this!
New York is a great place if you like the city and also the countryside since there is plenty of country outside New York. I love your attitude about putting in the effort to learn!
Been following you for a long time now and this is one of my favorite London Diaries to date- so real. Thanks for being one who acknowledges the highlight reel culture and I can’t wait to visit that storefront one day it sounds incredible! Keep dreaming brother! Cheers!
Really love that video Daniel! The last point that you mentioned about not comparing the highlights of someone’s life with your own global situation is so meaningfull! I am often on a negative mood Sunday evening and these videos help me a lot to move forward and stay positive ❤
Such an inspiration man thank you for being so honest and candid. Think I speak for everyone when I say you should be so proud of all your hard work and self discipline over the many years of the social content creator grind. As someone just starting out, it's incredible motivating and inspiring. Thank you for all you do and have done over the years!
Every video you make, is this slow authentic and filled with vibes you just wanna resonate with, it's like a pause and comfort zone from the otherwise fast moving digital world. Truly thank you for taking your time, quality over quantity, always.
Love this. I watch your videos mainly because I love how you live your life and how your videos show the way you view everyday moments but todays video finally allowed viewers to feel like they know Daniel and not the brand Daniel Simmons ❤️
Hi Daniel, by far one of my favorite video of yours, I admire your vulnerability and honesty. I'm currently in my first year of college and I feel I'm in the same position as you when you were in school, but hearing your process in being able to get to a point where you're proud of what you do and confident in your abilities to do more inspires me to keep working towards my goals, and I hope to get to that point as well. Thank you for these videos and the effort you put into, they serve as inspiration to me and I'm sure to thousands of others as well!
Love this kind of video, just sitting and chit-chatting. Just play the video and listen to it while doing some chores, would love to see more of this kind of video 💗
You have my badge of support to make that vision of yours come true! Me and so many of your other supporters will sit there in the cafe one day, feeling a sense of familiarity within the interior space, ordering a pastry and would say "remember when he made this video??" 😊 Keep going, Daniel! 🥳
I know how hard it is to make everything perfect or ideally aligned with what you have come up with. But one thing as you said, one of the proudest things is you within yourself. It makes sense to me as you was trying to articulate it, since I am also the type of person who doesn't feel special but somehow good at something we're trying to approach and the things we're interested in. I want you to know Daniel, the videos you made and every episode you presented to us, the angles, the music and the flow you did with the images, everything was so nice and so "healing". Watching your channels just gave off a peaceful vibe and I will always come here for heals when things get unsatisfying or my mood gets down. Thank you for everything and really admire the motivations you have at all times to make work and life balanced, it wasn't something easily to get and keep for a long time. You are one of my motives now to get your surroundings as peaceful as you, and wish you all the best. Good luck with your brand launching! Thank you Daniel. :)
Love you too, Daniel! Thank you for bringing us on your journey with you. You inspire me immensely. Also, so excited to visit and catch a vibe at the DS store in the future 🙏🏻💐☕️🪞
Thank you for such a raw take on this Q&A! I loved hearing your honest thoughts and feelings about the questions asked, it gives a true perspective on how things in life impact you mentally and/or physically. I’m keen to see when the Daniel Simmons store comes to life too! 🤭
This video felt so personal! Loved the message at the end. You're such a motivation and a mentor for so many people, even if you don't realise it. But you're a great example for this young generation. :)
This is a very nice change of pace! Somehow makes us feel more connected with you, and thank you for letting us get to know a glimpse of your reality on the other side of the lens. I really resonated with your pet peeves 😂 which is funny to think about! I didn’t even realise it as a pet peeve until you mention it! It happens all the time here in Melbourne. We use trams on a day to day basis, and with the amount of tourists coming here who may not understand the etiquette of getting in and out of the trams/trains, it gives me the biggest ick too 😅
Idea: Your instore café could be branded London Diaries and you could create a line of coffee cups, espresso cups, lifestyle accessories etc called London Diaries by Daniel Simmons.
Hey daniel I'd love to know if you have a playlist with the jazz you use in your videos because I love listening to it. Maybe you can share it if you have it?
Hey Daniel! Ive been watching your content because I love how you curate your lifestyle, in terms of the aesthetics on all fronts :) and as an interior designer get inspired by you! What I did want to say is, when it does come to creating your future concept store, I would love to be able to work with you and be a part of that! ( although of course you are highly adept at creating it yourself of course :D but just putting that out there.
I understand where you talk about long distance relationship me and my girlfriend is doing it now and also trying to work on my business at the same time and my kids so I have a lot going on trying to balance it all but thank you for explaining how you handle the situation between you and your girlfriend and your business how you balancing it and how you feel about that I feel the same way too so thank you for the information
For your brand i love the idea of offering different lengths for your tops, that way not only are you making it unisex (woman can order a short) but it also helps shorter guys too. Kill two birds with one stone without having to make an entire different article of clothing
I just feel that your shop will be something like the ALD shop. It needs to have a cafe inside where you will sometimes be there and chill maybe with others. Low lights jazz music and good clothing!
So what you're telling me is one day, I'm going to be able to greet Daniel in the morning, grab my cortado and cardamom bun, work for a little bit, check out the latest DS programme, and walk out with some lillies for my apartment? Yea, count me in.
You should check out the Nanushka flagship if you're ever in Budapest for some store-cafe inspo, basically exactly what you described minus the flowers and such a good vibe. Been watching your vids for a while now, so chill and cool to see the brand coming along
my bf and I we are doing long distance for 7 years (its 400km) it works really good and I enjoy the benefits and sure there are downsides but at the moment this works the best for us
Yo Daniel! Loved the video. I’m interested in your story. Why did you come to London from nz and how difficult was the change? Did you go to university or get a different degree?
Daniel, really insightful and interesting video! Are you planning on releasing more London Diaries hoodies/tees soon? DESPERATE to get my hands on a small haha
Thanks for making this video ! you know Daniel, I learned a lot from those videos and one thing I must say you inspired me to pick up my own aesthetic . Cheers brother .Have a great day!
i think you'd find a lot of success in opening a women's line of clothing. its easy to see that you pay a lot of attention to the silhouette and proportions of a piece, and i think that you'd translate your current staple pieces well into a women's version. also, i can tell you firsthand that so many girls i know wish they could find pieces that fit them the way they do on men, so there's definitely a market. was so excited to hear that you're open to launching a unisex or women's line!
My husband and I had a long distance relationship for the first 6 years of our relationship. It was hard but we did it. next month we will together for 16 years.
Just putting this out there, although you aren't very good a describing things, I see the vision of the store and I could perfectly see the image of it in my mind. Hopefully someday!

That was so nice to hear you just sit and talk. You’re idea for the brand and it’s place is amazing, that’s like a dream place 🤍

As someone just starting out, it's incredible motivating and inspiring. Thank you for all you do and have done over the years!
This is that one content I didn’t know I needed to fully relate and get to know Daniel. Definitely one of the few to look up to. Keep it up! 🙌🏻
Every video you make, is this slow authentic and filled with vibes you just wanna resonate with, it's like a pause and comfort zone from the otherwise fast moving digital world. Truly thank you for taking your time, quality over quantity, always.
Daniel: “trata de recordar que la vida de nadies es perfecta “ 20:30
Love this. I watch your videos mainly because I love how you live your life and how your videos show the way you view everyday moments but todays video finally allowed viewers to feel like they know Daniel and not the brand Daniel Simmons ❤️
Song/s Used:
The Village - Vendla (on loop)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this ep. kind of like taking it slow and talking it out
Daniel, i find these videos so peaceful and enjoy them so much! Would love to watch these more regularly! Love your work

podcast? maybe?
17:02 this is so deep Daniel! Really great video like always! You’re really inspiring!
Daniel, thanks for the honesty and being vulnerable, it is refreshing!!
You have my badge of support to make that vision of yours come true! Me and so many of your other supporters will sit there in the cafe one day, feeling a sense of familiarity within the interior space, ordering a pastry and would say "remember when he made this video??" 😊 Keep going, Daniel! 🥳

Love how vulnerable and even though it’s recorded it feels unfiltered
It would be amazing to see a Daniel Simmons store/cafe in the future similar to ALD’s in London serving up pastries and avocado toast.
Love you too, Daniel! Thank you for bringing us on your journey with you. You inspire me immensely. Also, so excited to visit and catch a vibe at the DS store in the future 🙏🏻💐☕️🪞

Daniel thank you so much for sharing your vulnerable side of your story my son also has listening to your video and was amazing by this 👏👏👏👏🙏❤️🇬🇧
Thank you so much for your honesty and for staying grounded and realistic.
Hey daniel I'd love to know if you have a playlist with the jazz you use in your videos because I love listening to it. Maybe you can share it if you have it?
This is one of my favorite videos from U, I really appreciate your honesty in this video man. Great Q&A!!
12:40 Love Love Love the vision🙌🏻😍

Love your videos, they are so relaxing ❤
Hope you can keep on making them
Your store dream sounds like Saturdays nyc but with flowers. Sounds so chill
Love your honesty on sharing something so personal❤
Daniel, you are so cozy and comfortable, love this video, thanks
I understand where you talk about long distance relationship me and my girlfriend is doing it now and also trying to work on my business at the same time and my kids so I have a lot going on trying to balance it all but thank you for explaining how you handle the situation between you and your girlfriend and your business how you balancing it and how you feel about that I feel the same way too so thank you for the information
3:38 I do stand to the side and I try to stay a little far from the doors to make sure people leave.
I always get a nice cup of tea and sit down to watch Daniel videos. 🍵
What ur vlogs every monday. Motivates me every time for the rest of the work week🫰
oml I hope by the next time I go to London, your store would be up and running 😩 if you decide to set it up there
For your brand i love the idea of offering different lengths for your tops, that way not only are you making it unisex (woman can order a short) but it also helps shorter guys too. Kill two birds with one stone without having to make an entire different article of clothing
Such a good video bro, thank you for being real with us. I look forward to your videos all the time
It was nice to see this intimate side of you, in comparison to the persona portrayed on IG. Need more of this!
lol the elevator pet peeve is hilarious. You're absolutely right, basic etiquette is let people exit before you enter.
Thank you for sharing 😎 always nice to listen the other side 🙏🏻
Really nice way to switch things up a bit and get some fresh ideas into the mixture!
I also thought you'd go with the coffee haha😎
20:53 You made sense. Wise words
Thanks for sharing Daniel! That hoodie looks so so cosy - where’s it from?
Looks like the Fester Hoodie from Acne Studios
Thanks!
I just feel that your shop will be something like the ALD shop. It needs to have a cafe inside where you will sometimes be there and chill maybe with others. Low lights jazz music and good clothing!

Love that hoodie!
Love this brotha. Appreciate your openness, and I hope you’re well!
Just the best sunday vibes
Really insightful and genuine video. Enjoyed this a lot, thanks Daniel

Aye bro the real ones know you haven’t lost an ounce of gains and that when this bulk is over that cut is gonna be monstrous
What hoodie are you wearing? Looks so cozy!!!
Yo Daniel! Loved the video. I’m interested in your story. Why did you come to London from nz and how difficult was the change? Did you go to university or get a different degree?
❤❤ Thank you for sharing
I absolutely love this dream of yours, can't wait till the store comes to fruition
Every time I open Daniel's video I'm like "Let's see what he's gonna make me buy this time...".
I agree with what you said about LDR.
Brother once i noticed that you use " Like " as a conjunction for every sentence it killed me 😂
Love your vids! Whats the hoodie btw?
Thanks for letting us know you personally ❤
Hi Jeff, I really wanted to thank you for opening with us.. makes me feel better knowing we are similar in good and bad, even if we don’t know
Daniel, really insightful and interesting video!
Are you planning on releasing more London Diaries hoodies/tees soon? DESPERATE to get my hands on a small haha
Hello Daniel! Do you have a spotify playlist? I'd really like to see it.
That was lovely, Daniel. Sending support and love from Germany!
Really enjoyed this chit chat. ♥
Great as always Daniel !
Last part was quote worthy ❤
The vibes 🕯️
End part was 🙌
Thanks for making this video ! you know Daniel, I learned a lot from those videos and one thing I must say you inspired me to pick up my own aesthetic . Cheers brother .Have a great day!
I love the hoodie! What is the name of it? Please
12:16 I mean, you’re allowed to have snacks except maybe be vigilant about crumbs falling on stuff.
Your biggest pet peeve is my biggest pet peeve, but for the metro. I've started shouting "You can wait!" if people start to force their way in.
Daniel oh yeah. We know your social media influencer, but we also know what it's like to go through a lot of stuff. We totally understand. ❤🎉
Thanks for the video 🙏
I love you back!
how do you take such amazing selfies… with your iPhone. The framing, lighting, angles, etc.
i think you'd find a lot of success in opening a women's line of clothing. its easy to see that you pay a lot of attention to the silhouette and proportions of a piece, and i think that you'd translate your current staple pieces well into a women's version. also, i can tell you firsthand that so many girls i know wish they could find pieces that fit them the way they do on men, so there's definitely a market.

Just putting this out there, although you aren't very good a describing things, I see the vision of the store and I could perfectly see the image of it in my mind. Hopefully someday!
When u make that store come to life im gonna need to travel to go to it cuz that sounds like the most amazing clothing store of life
Gday Daniel - great vid mate.
I know all answers for all questions ❤
We love you Daniel ❤
Where do you find the music in background?
