I have been around a little longer than you have. Your insight and introspection will guide both you and Christian in this journey of life! As someone above said we gay brothers and sisters are here to support each other. There are some, and Noah, this is not directed to you at all, but too many in the GLBTQ community feel the marriage equality Supreme Court decision of almost 5 years ago is the end of the our fight for the simple matter of equality. Movements are afoot to chip away at GLBTQ equality. 2 big decisions by the court will be made this term and it does not look favorable for us. That is why this election if Nov 3 is so important. We cannot allow the current occupant to make any further judicial appts. Voting on Nov 3 is one more way we support each other. Some may disagree and not like I have made a political statement here, but I and others remember what it was like and fought the good fight.
I absolutely agree. We must fight for our rights for ourselves and for each other in any way we can, and thankfully in the US, that means we can vote for them.
Noah I had two funerals in the last two weeks and one was a classmate I used to know for a long time. She died suddenly. Nobody expected her to die at the age of 45. That changed a lot in my kind of seeing too a lot. Like you said listening to water or watch the beauty of spring. I think when were happy we miss out the REAL THINGS in life and when were unhappy or sad we are remembered of those simple things. Thanks for maybe your most touching vid so far. And nobody can be always happy and always smiling. I know that for sure but your vids kind of inspire me and give a little light to my life and I guess to many others here. My grandma used the say Winter gives us the blues, so Spring can rock us again ;)
How wonderful you are, too many people today are speeding along at 100 mph not seeing what passes by. Poets have been telling us to slow down for years, they said simplify, simplify, slow down and smell the roses. Its a pleasure to find a young man expressing that message. I'm 68 years old and with my partner 45 years, we started off at 100 mph and it took us many years to slow down and enjoy each other. Please do the same with Christian, you clearly love each other very much, your years will flash by quickly, slow down and enjoy the ride. Love to you both, Paul
Hi Noah, thank you for sharing. I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes. "Perfection is impossible but space to grow is always possible" - Stacey Abrams. I'm glad you recognize that there is always space to grow.
This made me cry because I feel like this all the time I never felt like I could ever be happy after losing my dad..Because I got to imagine what getting married without having my dad walk me down the aisle he will never get to see my kids and be a grandpa..your videos always make me smile..even on my bad days..thanks for everything really
Wow... After I typed the word wow, my mind went completely blank. I was so amazed how you spoke sincerely from your heart. For a person of your age, I'm very impressed of your boldness and your maturity level you have. I finally got to watch the video of you, I think you where 16 or 17 and you traveled to East Tennessee with 2 other friends. That it self I believe was quite impressive, unfortunately I didn't have the same opportunity as you or other's. I had to deal with a Mom who was in complete denial that I had a form of Autism. For some Autistic people, it is very difficult to go to new places that we are not familiar with or we meet new people. For some reason our nerves can't handle the dramatic change of the environment around us and then we experience exiguity and panic attacks. It's made obtaining a relationship very difficult, going to school to further my education, and having a job. I should have been taught how to manage with this at a preteen or teen age level, not as an adult when I need to focus on life skills. The things you both do or find are just so fascinating. If it's standing by a creek, river, or the ocean, I want to be the person standing by the water with the breeze blowing against me. I wanna be the person seating at a camp fire and roasting wienie's followed by making smore's with the soft gooey marshmallows on a graham cracker then topped off with pieces of Hershey's candy bar and another graham cracker. That sounds so good, right about now. I wanna be that person who has gay friends, that we can seat around a table play games and kidding around about gay related stuff, and we wouldn't have to worry about offending any one around us. I wanna be that person who is in a sincere relationship with a guy who is cute, handsome, and full of life. Then at the end of the day, I can hug and hold him with his head resting on my shoulder, I can tilt my head over and gentle whisper to him "I love you...". Oh how great those day's would be. Don't ever take anything for granite, and continue to dream big for future endeavors.
Noah can understand winter is a tough season to get through and the lack of sun and the hardships of winter is tough. But as we know spring will burst into colour with life and warm are Hearts. I like you for your natural way you see and enjoy life and share your love of that. Love and best wishes to you both and thanks for thawing winter with your smile.
Your honesty is truly much appreciated. I've personally found that giving thanks and gratitude to Mother Earth for all that she provides us. It's important to be mindful and have great gratitude for all you have. And like the saying goes, "The quieter you become, the more you can hear."
This kinda weird... I was thinking about how happy you always are and i really admire that and it also occurred to me that we are not always happy and here we are saying the same thing.. For me it really doesn't matter because our imperfections are the ones that makes us we... And you have showed us that.. You are the reason we are here every day not because of your imperfections but because you are you and you have an amazing smile btw❤️.. Wish i could personally be your friend. Thanks
Noah, I'm quite impressed by this video. For a young man you have very deep thoughts and I cannot help but feel that you are mature beyond your age. All the things you've mentioned are part of everybody's life and/or relationship. It's not always plain sailing and sometimes life's a bitch. We all have to deal with that. But there are many many things in life that are just wonderful. We should be grateful for all the ups and downs of life because they make us to who we are. You mentioned that people only wanna see "the good stuff" in your videos. I think, and hopefully other viewers will agree, that you are very much mistaken. For my part I watch your videos because they are authentic and they tell a good story. But don't be shy and hide "bad stuff" from us. It doesn't make you vulnerable, it makes you even more authentic. And you might find that viewers will comment on that and support you... Have a 🤗 !
I love this so much. I love how real it is. I have added this video to a list of videos my students (middle school) can watch if they have extra time. I love the lessons about gratitude, new life, and the acceptability of difficult emotions.
Noah, I think we all know none of us is perfect. But, you do such a good job of showing the lighter side of life (especially with your partner). Your videos are great to watch and very soothing. Maybe we need to tell you that more often so you won't worry so much about how your videos come across. You are doing a great job, but thank you for showing the need to keep it real too. You both are special and we thank you ❤
Really a beautiful and emotional video of you showing how you really feel. No one is always happy, everyone is sometimes sad or fight. I totally understand how you feel. You are both still amazing, that won't change. Xxx Mattijs Valk from The Netherlands
I litterally had to watch this one three times in a row. There is so much truth in what you're saying, and I wish I could follow it to the letter. Until I can, which may take a while, I'll just keep on trying. Thank you for reminding me
Noah, this is your best video!....I have watched it a few times...I cried...I am so proud of you for being true to yourself...you are a special guy and so brave for doing this video...keep being amazing...lots of love from here in Maumee, Ohio 💜🧡💛💙❤💚👬....
Noah, a brilliant video. I am an atheist, but you have more spirituality in your little finger than a ton of the tele preachers I have ever see. Live in the moment and appreciate the simple things. Love you guys
Thank you for being so honest....❣️ We love you and of course everyone has some dark times in the past or ahead of us but no matter...we will stand together...be with you and stand by you... thank you for making me feel this why while I've decided not to feel anymore ❣️
If you're reading this...Congratulations, you're alive! If that's not something to smile about, then I don't know what is! More smiling, Less worrying. More Compassion, Less Judgement. More Blessed, Less stress. More Love, Less Hate.
Beautiful, I love watching your videos because I love the connection between the two of you, you can see the love in each others eyes. Good days and bad days, having someone you love to share them with is truly special. xxx
no one has this perfect life ,we understand that life happens and things get messy , just show us the content you want to make , you and christian bring us joy , just be sure that you and christian give each other joy
No one is always happy and you don't need to be. And, no relationship is perfect and free from arguments. The people just have to realize their relationship is more valuable than their differences. It is good that you take time to appreciate the here and now around you...especially spring. :)
It's a bittersweet symphony that we usually call life. And yes it's the little things that we so many times take for granted that make us whole. Great share. Stay well.
Great point about the New Year should be in Spring. And Gratefulness always leads to Joy. We can be grateful even when things aren’t going our way. Joyful people are grateful people and you are a grateful, joyful person. You are a human being and that means you will struggle as well, but you are helping others by being genuine. You can show as much of you as you feel comfortable showing and we will appreciate it.😘😘
Noah, both you and Christian are loved by so many of your fans. We care. Never feel like either of you need to be "fake" or inauthentic to make us happy. If you're having a down day; if things are rough you can share it and we will be here to support you. Keep being real, keep being authentic and most of all keep loving each other like you clearly do. XXXX
Perfection is something we seek but never achieve! I've been inspired by your videos and the relationship that you and Christian share. I know you have challenges in life, we all do. It's the challenges and how we face them that define who we are. Spring is a time of new beginnings, a time to reflect upon what was and to look forward to what is going to be. Happy spring!
Maybe the word is content or grateful. People, in my humble opinion, should be glad to have a positive example to help them imagine what life could be like. If you err on the side of happinesss, I don’t consider that a bad thing. Thanks for the stories, you both!!! 🤠
Noah I agree, I been told many times I seem so happy all the time, but one can smile and still not be happy. I am grateful being alive, I have lost so many people in my life that I ask myself why am I still here, I hear a voice saying there is more for you to do. I have had days I have broke down and cried, its been over 2 years since me and my boy friend broke up, we were together 14 years, started out young together and just grew apart. The other night I was thinking about the day I first met him, I was so excited, I cried because at that time I had no idea 14 years later we would walk away from each other. I give you props for getting on here and just being you, they are so many fake people on this site, I respect you for this, I wish you the best in the world.
It's good that you see spring as an opportunity to grow and to look forward into the future. However, there are many people who have a different mindset: Most suicides happen in spring. It's good you show them that even you are not always happy. That's life, real life. This gives them comfort. Useful video.
Noah, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about yourself. I believe sadness can also be a healthy thing for us all at times. When we are dealing with something that saddens us, it gives us time to pause, reflect, and to embrace the feelings of being sad, maybe even some degree of anger, and loneliness. Being in this mindset, allows us to pause and reset ourselves. This will allow us to appreciate and enjoy the things that bring us joy and happiness. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and honesty about you. Peace, love, and happiness to you young man.
No ones life is always perfect. You and Christian bring joy to me seeing a couple so perfect together. It is always a joy when you post a video . Spring is great time of the year.
Young man, we are all guilty of putting on a mask for the greater of others ... no one can always be happy all the time .. your not the only one that finds spring a new beginning and a fresh start ..I also do that ..dude no one as a perfect life ..those who say they have are either lying or trying to hide the fact they are unhappy in life .. for you to admit that is honourable and shows how real you are ... good for you ... 🤙🏻
Awesome Video Noah !!! You are one of the most down to earth guys on this platform !!! You would hope that most people realize that 8 -10 minutes of a persons life is not 24 hours in a day !! You are a great guy and I Love your videos and adventures !!! Thank you for being you !!!
You have in inspired me to be more of a confident in myself and that helps me get out of bed in the morning and stay happy and smile. So from the bottom of my heart thank you I look forward to your video every day.
I am a happy person generally. I am not happy about everything in life but I always have a base line of happy and joy. It is like a program running in the background. By far, there is much more good and happy things in life than not. We live in the most peaceful time on this planet. The best things in life are happening now and one of them is seeing both your smiling faces on your videos! All is well.
You 2 are beautiful souls. Don't let things define who you are. Be happy and content with yourself. Let go of the things you can't change and embrace the things you can. Life happens it gets better. Understand your needs and work on them. Love your videos
well done Noah for the video, life is life and we all have bad times, but to see happy videos makes us happy so keep up the good videos and lets hope the world is more happy, with big love from the UK xxxx
Thank you for this honest and heart-warming video! Life is not perfect, and will never become perfect. Some days are grey and dull, some days are bright and sunny. Some areas in our life improve over time, other get worse. And never is everything 100 % good. And not 100 % bad for that matter. But by allowing us to reflect and calm down, we can figure out what really, really is important for us. Life is chasing us with demands, and we chase our selfs. The most important thing is what kind of human beings we are with what ever we have/don't have. I agree that springtime is a "start time". Trees and birds come to life after a long winter. Thanks for being you. And thanks for all the kindness that beams from your heart. Or, as we say in Swedish: "Det är bara du som kan vara du. Det är så livet fungerar, vilket är både trist och skönt." (You get 10 points if you understand that without google translate). :D
"Life is like a roller coaster. Ups. Downs. Twists. Turns. But what a ride!" - Lisa Layden I used to always bottle up my emotions, but I learned that eventually that bottle will get too full and burst. I decided it was best for me to reach out to my friends and family whenever I need help, and it has greatly improved my mental health. I am incredibly grateful to have people in my life that I can turn to for help. We are not perfect. Life is crazy. But were all humans and we need to be there for one another. Thanks for sharing this video. I can't wait for spring! This Ohio weather is too crazy for me :D
Follow Kentuckian here, and I must say those are some very wise words man! I would watch your guys videos, weather you guys were happy and not. I understand wanting to only make happy videos though. Keep up the good work!
My Family, and My Friends have helped me grow a lot this past year through many challenges, this has been a blessing. Thank you both; for being so vulnerable in this channel, keep sharing the world via your lens. Never forget - you are the only you that will ever be.
Each of us have an individual means of being happy, me it is from good health, to when something goes well to the means of traveling to finally being with someone who cares.
just make more videos to blog. i am an avid follower of you two cause you are such a kind person i realized worth to watch. persons who knows the word gratitude are such a real reel people and that's you.
We just love your videos, it’s your “thing”. Please make them as you want, not what people expect. nobody is perfect, i respect that you share that it’s not always happy in life.
Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago about pushing through the things we feel that aren't happiness. I like to reread the last few stanzas sometimes to help me remember that I'm responsible for my happiness. Whether it is someone, or something, preventing me from that happiness, I decide what I should do about it and figure how I could better myself and make myself happier. Life isn't always perfect, and it's hard to accept that sometimes, but taking the time to reflect, like you're doing, is greatly beneficial. It's exactly like meditation. I always have to remind myself to do so, to take a second to sit down, breathe, and think back on all the things that make me happy. If something doesn't make me happy, or disrupts that flow of happiness in my life, then I need to figure out how to fix that. And, I totally agree with you on listening to nature and appreciating the little things in life during reflection. It's the best, really. Anyway, I hope you do well with your struggles and with pushing against the terrain. Keeping yourself happy is the most important, and best, thing you could do for yourself. Always keep that in mind. :) Against The Terrain Why, yes, I've conquered. Above all that shoo me into darkness Or negativity. I've come against the terrain, No matter what others have said; I choose happiness, and positivity, And that feeling of love over all the negativity. By all odds, I say that anyone can come to this point. Rise above the imperfect infatuation of what others have to say. Live in what makes you happy, not others. Live your life, and not theirs. I say this is what I've tried to do and have done. I no longer feel worthless, lonely, or isolated. Just have that feeling of gratitude and live a life of yours; Of happiness. Break the cycle; Lose the lies; And love yourself. Never forget that. That you are worth it, That you are better than what others have to say. You can't change how people feel about you, So don't try and just live your life and be happy. Go against the terrain and speak the truth Because the only people who are mad at you for speaking the truth are those who are living lies. So keep speaking the truth - whatever you believe it is. You always deserve to be the most important person in somebody's life because you are worth it. This is so because once you start seeing your worth, You'll find it harder to stay around people who don't. So quit trying to please everyone; Quit fearing change; quit living in the past; And most of all: Quit putting yourself down. Just don't ever feel bad for making a decision about your own life that upsets other people. You are not responsible for their happiness but yours. If you believe that what you're doing is either right or truthful or just makes you happy, then you are doing your job. Just remember one thing: Anyone who wants you to live in misery for their happiness should not be in your life, but those who truly want you to be happy, and yourself, should be. Just go against the terrain.
Hi Noah, I think it was important that you did this particular video. Also, the fact that you made yourself vulnerable shows your character and it took courage. This is the first video of you that was not of your infectious smiles and smiling, usually with Christian in tow. But that is OK. As you said, authenticity is what you want to communicate. In a way, I am not necessarily surprised that you made this video. It demonstrates that you are real. And like me, you are not always happy. Anyone who says they are is not being honest. But, your cheerful smiling is nice to see and it always brightens my day, especially if it is one of those days or moments. No one wants to watch videos that are downcast and I don't think this one is, but sharing your truth is vital to be real. Even if one shares a blue moment or situation in a video does not necessarily mean the entire content is not worth watching or is enjoyable. You are doing just fine and this video shows your authentic humanity. I hope this comment was not too heavy/serious. In fact, I enjoyed and appreciated it. I subscribe to just a few channels and now I know why I subscribed to yours!
I liked your video because it reflects how many of us feel. I believe that a better word to use in place of happy is content. Try that and see if that doesn't help.
You are a complete human being. With happy and sad moments. With love and anger. With hope and frustration. And what’s very important: with the intelligence and sensibility to be able to recognise those feelings, express them, and live with them. I think that that’s life, and you can show the part of it that you want to show. I think that most of your followers are happy with your happy, and would be comfortable if in any moment you need to show unhappy moments, even if they are with Christian. Keep doing what you do and has captivated me, a 44 years old married gay guy from Barcelona! Hugs!
Bruh I know this is kinda weird but this video is legit facts like no one takes time to appreciate what they have, people don't live in the moment people are always planning for what comes next and everyone just needs to appreciate what's happening now and not what happens next, for at least a little while. I really needed this video Noah and I'm sure lot''s of other people did too. When I first started watching your videos I did think "Wow he is like really happy in all of these videos", I don't know how to make this not seem weird but I feel like I do wanna see times when you're not always happy, I don't know why, I think that it is because it makes everything seem a little more real, because the truth is that everyone isn't happy all the time and that's reality. Anyways thanks for this video even though I watched it a little after it came out, it helped me a lot. -Ayden
Oh Noah, I was waiting for this video, because from what we all have experienced, there is not only happiness and fun in life. It inspired me for a long walk as soon we have the spring. Yet it’s raining and even snowing in germany. Also I remember those moments in the past, and for me it was the way to calm down and think. I really hope it’s not any issue, argues or trouble that you suffer from. I’m happy to watch any video that let us be a part of your life for minutes. It’s inspiring and I hope all comments inspires you, too. When I look back to days like you may had when recording this video, I still feel sad but somehow not about what made me sad that days, but that I was unexperienced to handle it in a proper way. Making mistakes is part of our life, nobody can prevent it for anybody as those experiences let us grow. Thanks again for this video as it is showing a real life and a wonderful person. Say hello to christian and hope you both take care for each other even in situations which are hurting. I’m pretty sure you can do, so see you both in next video, please
I'm a little late responding, but it's been really hard recently. I lost my aunt to cancer, haven't been to work in 5 weeks, and I'm feeling the pressure from my religious family and church because of me being gay. It's hard I just want to be both but people say I can't... I try to put up a front that life is great and okay but alot of times it's not . But I feel I need to be for others.. your videos with Christian put a smile on my face. I'm so thankful for you guys and especially this video being so raw. Thank you
Noah rest assured what you are experiencing is perfectly normal - life is not perfect and it’s not without its ups and downs but if you are strong you will come through it as a better and stronger person. I have every confidence that you are strong, it was good to hear that you and Christian have your ups and downs but that is about building relationships and again learning from your mistakes and building on them. Life is one big adventure and you never know what is round the next corner but it’s worth finding out. It’s also good that you find now time for yourself which you have in this video but also thank you for sharing it - my winter was also bleak at times mainly because of my health but the moment the days became longer and the sun came out my Well being improved dramatically - this dreadful virus has put me in isolation but I have also found that I am surrounded by people who care about me and unknown to me have been keeping a watchful eye on me. I’m sure that is also the case for both you and Christian with your videos you have given pleasure to many across the world and by doing so you have also gained many friends who in there own way care about you both. So keep up the good work and sharing and most of all thank you for being the warm caring people you both are .
We know there is stuff about you we don’t know. Heck, There’s stuff about you you don’t know. Who knows what anyone knows? But you are the one sharing with who knows who. And for that, THANK YOU!
I am from the Philippines and when I saw your video in my recommended list, I immediately fell in love to you and Christian. You both are like fireflies that are adorably careless and free and sweet. I lost my Mom who is my bestfriend and less than a year, my Dad followed. It's been three years now.
It is great to see you be real. Just remember than a heavy dose of anything soon becomes a bore, so shifting your style from time to time will also intrigue your viewers. The one thing we do not enjoy is watching content providers bitching each other out or treating each other like shit, because it is supposedly part of life. It will do you boys well to be very vidgilent about what happens to your relationship as you age verses the responsibility of producing content regularly. TH-cam has destroyed more gay relationship than you can shake a stick at !
You are all so caring and wise!! So grateful for all of you and your loving comments ♥️
And I am/we are all grateful to have you and Christian and this Channel!
We are all here to help each another thats what the gay world does xx
I have been around a little longer than you have. Your insight and introspection will guide both you and Christian in this journey of life! As someone above said we gay brothers and sisters are here to support each other.
There are some, and Noah, this is not directed to you at all, but too many in the GLBTQ community feel the marriage equality Supreme Court decision of almost 5 years ago is the end of the our fight for the simple matter of equality. Movements are afoot to chip away at GLBTQ equality. 2 big decisions by the court will be made this term and it does not look favorable for us. That is why this election if Nov 3 is so important. We cannot allow the current occupant to make any further judicial appts.
Voting on Nov 3 is one more way we support each other. Some may disagree and not like I have made a political statement here, but I and others remember what it was like and fought the good fight.
I absolutely agree. We must fight for our rights for ourselves and for each other in any way we can, and thankfully in the US, that means we can vote for them.
Noah I had two funerals in the last two weeks and one was a classmate I used to know for a long time. She died suddenly. Nobody expected her to die at the age of 45. That changed a lot in my kind of seeing too a lot. Like you said listening to water or watch the beauty of spring. I think when were happy we miss out the REAL THINGS in life and when were unhappy or sad we are remembered of those simple things. Thanks for maybe your most touching vid so far. And nobody can be always happy and always smiling. I know that for sure but your vids kind of inspire me and give a little light to my life and I guess to many others here. My grandma used the say Winter gives us the blues, so Spring can rock us again ;)
How wonderful you are, too many people today are speeding along at 100 mph not seeing what passes by. Poets have been telling us to slow down for years, they said simplify, simplify, slow down and smell the roses. Its a pleasure to find a young man expressing that message. I'm 68 years old and with my partner 45 years, we started off at 100 mph and it took us many years to slow down and enjoy each other. Please do the same with Christian, you clearly love each other very much, your years will flash by quickly, slow down and enjoy the ride. Love to you both, Paul
Hi Noah, thank you for sharing. I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes. "Perfection is impossible but space to grow is always possible" - Stacey Abrams. I'm glad you recognize that there is always space to grow.
This made me cry because I feel like this all the time I never felt like I could ever be happy after losing my dad..Because I got to imagine what getting married without having my dad walk me down the aisle he will never get to see my kids and be a grandpa..your videos always make me smile..even on my bad days..thanks for everything really
Dont worry about showing your sad sometimes we will always support you so brave to make this video love you both
This is my most favorite video of you Noah!!!! I love all of your videos. I love your compassion and your honesty.
Wow... After I typed the word wow, my mind went completely blank. I was so amazed how you spoke sincerely from your heart. For a person of your age, I'm very impressed of your boldness and your maturity level you have. I finally got to watch the video of you, I think you where 16 or 17 and you traveled to East Tennessee with 2 other friends. That it self I believe was quite impressive, unfortunately I didn't have the same opportunity as you or other's. I had to deal with a Mom who was in complete denial that I had a form of Autism. For some Autistic people, it is very difficult to go to new places that we are not familiar with or we meet new people. For some reason our nerves can't handle the dramatic change of the environment around us and then we experience exiguity and panic attacks. It's made obtaining a relationship very difficult, going to school to further my education, and having a job. I should have been taught how to manage with this at a preteen or teen age level, not as an adult when I need to focus on life skills. The things you both do or find are just so fascinating. If it's standing by a creek, river, or the ocean, I want to be the person standing by the water with the breeze blowing against me. I wanna be the person seating at a camp fire and roasting wienie's followed by making smore's with the soft gooey marshmallows on a graham cracker then topped off with pieces of Hershey's candy bar and another graham cracker. That sounds so good, right about now. I wanna be that person who has gay friends, that we can seat around a table play games and kidding around about gay related stuff, and we wouldn't have to worry about offending any one around us. I wanna be that person who is in a sincere relationship with a guy who is cute, handsome, and full of life. Then at the end of the day, I can hug and hold him with his head resting on my shoulder, I can tilt my head over and gentle whisper to him "I love you...". Oh how great those day's would be. Don't ever take anything for granite, and continue to dream big for future endeavors.
Perfect video, and how truthful. Thank you. You are very wise. Do reflect....life goes by very past...........
Thanks for sharing another side of you. It helps others to see life is not perfect and always happy...it’s reality.
Noah can understand winter is a tough season to get through and the lack of sun and the hardships of winter is tough. But as we know spring will burst into colour with life and warm are Hearts. I like you for your natural way you see and enjoy life and share your love of that. Love and best wishes to you both and thanks for thawing winter with your smile.
Noah, you love making your videos, we enjoy them. So, you videos don't have to perfect. We enjoy you sharing your life and partner with us.
Love the video, noone is always happy, but like you the spring is a new beginning, and a new start on being happy :)
Your absolutely so inspiring to all of us thankyou
Wow, you inspire me a lot, thank you so much
Your honesty is truly much appreciated. I've personally found that giving thanks and gratitude to Mother Earth for all that she provides us. It's important to be mindful and have great gratitude for all you have. And like the saying goes, "The quieter you become, the more you can hear."
All the best Noah. Thanks for the reality check.
This kinda weird... I was thinking about how happy you always are and i really admire that and it also occurred to me that we are not always happy and here we are saying the same thing.. For me it really doesn't matter because our imperfections are the ones that makes us we... And you have showed us that.. You are the reason we are here every day not because of your imperfections but because you are you and you have an amazing smile btw❤️.. Wish i could personally be your friend. Thanks
Wonderful video, Noah! You are awesome and genuine. I love your message. I take as much time as I can to listen to the trees and the wind.
Noah, I'm quite impressed by this video. For a young man you have very deep thoughts and I cannot help but feel that you are mature beyond your age. All the things you've mentioned are part of everybody's life and/or relationship. It's not always plain sailing and sometimes life's a bitch. We all have to deal with that. But there are many many things in life that are just wonderful. We should be grateful for all the ups and downs of life because they make us to who we are. You mentioned that people only wanna see "the good stuff" in your videos. I think, and hopefully other viewers will agree, that you are very much mistaken. For my part I watch your videos because they are authentic and they tell a good story. But don't be shy and hide "bad stuff" from us. It doesn't make you vulnerable, it makes you even more authentic. And you might find that viewers will comment on that and support you... Have a 🤗 !
I love this so much. I love how real it is. I have added this video to a list of videos my students (middle school) can watch if they have extra time. I love the lessons about gratitude, new life, and the acceptability of difficult emotions.
Noah, I think we all know none of us is perfect. But, you do such a good job of showing the lighter side of life (especially with your partner). Your videos are great to watch and very soothing. Maybe we need to tell you that more often so you won't worry so much about how your videos come across. You are doing a great job, but thank you for showing the need to keep it real too. You both are special and we thank you ❤
Kid! Just simply be you. We all love you two just as ya'll are. Everyone has those good, bad and ugly days.
you are so good of a person. your parents must be proud
Really a beautiful and emotional video of you showing how you really feel. No one is always happy, everyone is sometimes sad or fight. I totally understand how you feel. You are both still amazing, that won't change. Xxx Mattijs Valk from The Netherlands
I litterally had to watch this one three times in a row. There is so much truth in what you're saying, and I wish I could follow it to the letter. Until I can, which may take a while, I'll just keep on trying. Thank you for reminding me
Noah, this is your best video!....I have watched it a few times...I cried...I am so proud of you for being true to yourself...you are a special guy and so brave for doing this video...keep being amazing...lots of love from here in Maumee, Ohio 💜🧡💛💙❤💚👬....
Noah, a brilliant video. I am an atheist, but you have more spirituality in your little finger than a ton of the tele preachers I have ever see. Live in the moment and appreciate the simple things. Love you guys
Hi Noah and Christian, you literally inspire me to be a better person. So thank you.
Aw it's ok we are never always happy we are human it's good you have someone in ur life and you can comfort each other xXx
Thank you for being so honest....❣️ We love you and of course everyone has some dark times in the past or ahead of us but no matter...we will stand together...be with you and stand by you... thank you for making me feel this why while I've decided not to feel anymore ❣️
If you're reading this...Congratulations, you're alive! If that's not something to smile about, then I don't know what is! More smiling, Less worrying. More Compassion, Less Judgement. More Blessed, Less stress. More Love, Less Hate.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Enjoy your viewpoints on life.
Well said. Grateful to you for sharing and being a beacon of inspiration, creativity, and building a love filled life. Best to you both.
Beautiful, I love watching your videos because I love the connection between the two of you, you can see the love in each others eyes. Good days and bad days, having someone you love to share them with is truly special. xxx
no one has this perfect life ,we understand that life happens and things get messy , just show us the content you want to make , you and christian bring us joy , just be sure that you and christian give each other joy
Thanks for being real, and probably wiser beyond your years. As they say, take time to smell the roses!
You recorded this before the pandemic reached our area. It's been a good message to live by for the past 8 months. Thank you.
No one is always happy and you don't need to be. And, no relationship is perfect and free from arguments. The people just have to realize their relationship is more valuable than their differences. It is good that you take time to appreciate the here and now around you...especially spring. :)
It's a bittersweet symphony that we usually call life. And yes it's the little things that we so many times take for granted that make us whole. Great share. Stay well.
Thank you Noah. Be Kind To One Another...… Because All We Have Is Each Other.
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing this aspect of your life with all your fans and viewers. ❤️❤️❤️
Great point about the New Year should be in Spring. And Gratefulness always leads to Joy. We can be grateful even when things aren’t going our way. Joyful people are grateful people and you are a grateful, joyful person. You are a human being and that means you will struggle as well, but you are helping others by being genuine. You can show as much of you as you feel comfortable showing and we will appreciate it.😘😘
Noah, both you and Christian are loved by so many of your fans. We care. Never feel like either of you need to be "fake" or inauthentic to make us happy. If you're having a down day; if things are rough you can share it and we will be here to support you.
Keep being real, keep being authentic and most of all keep loving each other like you clearly do. XXXX
Absolutely beautiful! So well stated. Loved the visuals at the end too.
Just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen /listened to - thank you
This was a great video for you and thanks for being real. My 2 greatest times of the yr is spring and fall.
Perfection is something we seek but never achieve! I've been inspired by your videos and the relationship that you and Christian share. I know you have challenges in life, we all do. It's the challenges and how we face them that define who we are. Spring is a time of new beginnings, a time to reflect upon what was and to look forward to what is going to be. Happy spring!
Maybe the word is content or grateful. People, in my humble opinion, should be glad to have a positive example to help them imagine what life could be like. If you err on the side of happinesss, I don’t consider that a bad thing. Thanks for the stories, you both!!! 🤠
Noah I agree, I been told many times I seem so happy all the time, but one can smile and still not be happy. I am grateful being alive, I have lost so many people in my life that I ask myself why am I still here, I hear a voice saying there is more for you to do. I have had days I have broke down and cried, its been over 2 years since me and my boy friend broke up, we were together 14 years, started out young together and just grew apart. The other night I was thinking about the day I first met him, I was so excited, I cried because at that time I had no idea 14 years later we would walk away from each other. I give you props for getting on here and just being you, they are so many fake people on this site, I respect you for this, I wish you the best in the world.
It's good that you see spring as an opportunity to grow and to look forward into the future. However, there are many people who have a different mindset: Most suicides happen in spring. It's good you show them that even you are not always happy. That's life, real life. This gives them comfort. Useful video.
Noah, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about yourself. I believe sadness can also be a healthy thing for us all at times. When we are dealing with something that saddens us, it gives us time to pause, reflect, and to embrace the feelings of being sad, maybe even some degree of anger, and loneliness. Being in this mindset, allows us to pause and reset ourselves. This will allow us to appreciate and enjoy the things that bring us joy and happiness. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and honesty about you. Peace, love, and happiness to you young man.
You are sensitive and caring it is a joy to watch, and both of you.
No ones life is always perfect. You and Christian bring joy to me seeing a couple so perfect together. It is always a joy when you post a video . Spring is great time of the year.
You are amazing and I love you!!!
No one on earth is. Glad you are been honest!
Young man, we are all guilty of putting on a mask for the greater of others ... no one can always be happy all the time .. your not the only one that finds spring a new beginning and a fresh start ..I also do that ..dude no one as a perfect life ..those who say they have are either lying or trying to hide the fact they are unhappy in life .. for you to admit that is honourable and shows how real you are ... good for you ... 🤙🏻
Awesome Video Noah !!! You are one of the most down to earth guys on this platform !!! You would hope that most people realize that 8 -10 minutes of a persons life is not 24 hours in a day !! You are a great guy and I Love your videos and adventures !!! Thank you for being you !!!
Thank you for this...showing the imperfect is what makes life matter.
Thank you for sharing something real. I hope you do more of this more often.
Awee I can feel u Noah😕sending hugs and lots of love❤️ thank u for your honesty and just be true to yourself all the times🌈💞
You have in inspired me to be more of a confident in myself and that helps me get out of bed in the morning and stay happy and smile. So from the bottom of my heart thank you I look forward to your video every day.
I'm just grateful for the simple things in life....nothing materialistic just quiet time at home....
This video is inspiring! I can relate to this one, I even teared up a little.
I am a happy person generally. I am not happy about everything in life but I always have a base line of happy and joy. It is like a program running in the background. By far, there is much more good and happy things in life than not. We live in the most peaceful time on this planet. The best things in life are happening now and one of them is seeing both your smiling faces on your videos! All is well.
I"m grateful for this video. It helps me to pause, and remember the important moments in my life.
You 2 are beautiful souls. Don't let things define who you are. Be happy and content with yourself. Let go of the things you can't change and embrace the things you can. Life happens it gets better. Understand your needs and work on them. Love your videos
well done Noah for the video, life is life and we all have bad times, but to see happy videos makes us happy so keep up the good videos and lets hope the world is more happy, with big love from the UK xxxx
Thank you for this honest and heart-warming video! Life is not perfect, and will never become perfect. Some days are grey and dull, some days are bright and sunny. Some areas in our life improve over time, other get worse. And never is everything 100 % good. And not 100 % bad for that matter.
But by allowing us to reflect and calm down, we can figure out what really, really is important for us. Life is chasing us with demands, and we chase our selfs.
The most important thing is what kind of human beings we are with what ever we have/don't have. I agree that springtime is a "start time". Trees and birds come to life after a long winter.
Thanks for being you. And thanks for all the kindness that beams from your heart. Or, as we say in Swedish: "Det är bara du som kan vara du. Det är så livet fungerar, vilket är både trist och skönt." (You get 10 points if you understand that without google translate). :D
You are always so real in your videos. Keep it up.
"Life is like a roller coaster. Ups. Downs. Twists. Turns. But what a ride!" - Lisa Layden
I used to always bottle up my emotions, but I learned that eventually that bottle will get too full and burst. I decided it was best for me to reach out to my friends and family whenever I need help, and it has greatly improved my mental health. I am incredibly grateful to have people in my life that I can turn to for help. We are not perfect. Life is crazy. But were all humans and we need to be there for one another. Thanks for sharing this video. I can't wait for spring! This Ohio weather is too crazy for me :D
amazing video, beautiful hearing all of the nature sounds
Follow Kentuckian here, and I must say those are some very wise words man! I would watch your guys videos, weather you guys were happy and not. I understand wanting to only make happy videos though. Keep up the good work!
Noah, this was wonderful.
Beautiful message, and beautiful images in your film at the end. :)
My Family, and My Friends have helped me grow a lot this past year through many challenges, this has been a blessing. Thank you both; for being so vulnerable in this channel, keep sharing the world via your lens. Never forget - you are the only you that will ever be.
Each of us have an individual means of being happy, me it is from good health, to when something goes well to the means of traveling to finally being with someone who cares.
authenticity is what we have to strive for . Be true to yourself. That is not as easy as it sounds.
Noah,you’re awesomely great,even in your imperfections.I admire you more and more everyday.Love from Brazil.
just make more videos to blog. i am an avid follower of you two cause you are such a kind person i realized worth to watch. persons who knows the word gratitude are such a real reel people and that's you.
We just love your videos, it’s your “thing”. Please make them as you want, not what people expect. nobody is perfect, i respect that you share that it’s not always happy in life.
Here's a poem I wrote a few years ago about pushing through the things we feel that aren't happiness. I like to reread the last few stanzas sometimes to help me remember that I'm responsible for my happiness. Whether it is someone, or something, preventing me from that happiness, I decide what I should do about it and figure how I could better myself and make myself happier. Life isn't always perfect, and it's hard to accept that sometimes, but taking the time to reflect, like you're doing, is greatly beneficial. It's exactly like meditation. I always have to remind myself to do so, to take a second to sit down, breathe, and think back on all the things that make me happy. If something doesn't make me happy, or disrupts that flow of happiness in my life, then I need to figure out how to fix that. And, I totally agree with you on listening to nature and appreciating the little things in life during reflection. It's the best, really.
Anyway, I hope you do well with your struggles and with pushing against the terrain. Keeping yourself happy is the most important, and best, thing you could do for yourself. Always keep that in mind. :)
Against The Terrain
Why, yes,
I've conquered.
Above all that shoo me into darkness
Or negativity.
I've come against the terrain,
No matter what others have said;
I choose happiness, and positivity,
And that feeling of love over all the negativity.
By all odds, I say that anyone can come to this point.
Rise above the imperfect infatuation of what others have to say.
Live in what makes you happy, not others.
Live your life, and not theirs.
I say this is what I've tried to do and have done.
I no longer feel worthless, lonely, or isolated.
Just have that feeling of gratitude and live a life of yours;
Of happiness.
Break the cycle;
Lose the lies;
And love yourself.
Never forget that.
That you are worth it,
That you are better than what others have to say.
You can't change how people feel about you,
So don't try and just live your life and be happy.
Go against the terrain and speak the truth
Because the only people who are mad at you for speaking the truth are those who are living lies.
So keep speaking the truth - whatever you believe it is.
You always deserve to be the most important person in somebody's life because you are worth it.
This is so because once you start seeing your worth,
You'll find it harder to stay around people who don't.
So quit trying to please everyone;
Quit fearing change; quit living in the past;
And most of all:
Quit putting yourself down.
Just don't ever feel bad for making a decision about your own life that upsets other people.
You are not responsible for their happiness but yours.
If you believe that what you're doing is either right or truthful or just makes you happy, then you are doing your job.
Just remember one thing:
Anyone who wants you to live in misery for their happiness should not be in your life, but those who truly want you to be happy, and yourself, should be.
Just go against the terrain.
Hi Noah,
I think it was important that you did this particular video. Also, the fact that you made yourself vulnerable shows your character and it took courage.
This is the first video of you that was not of your infectious smiles and smiling, usually with Christian in tow. But that is OK. As you said, authenticity is what you want to communicate. In a way, I am not necessarily surprised that you made this video. It demonstrates that you are real. And like me, you are not always happy. Anyone who says they are is not being honest.
But, your cheerful smiling is nice to see and it always brightens my day, especially if it is one of those days or moments. No one wants to watch videos that are downcast and I don't think this one is, but sharing your truth is vital to be real. Even if one shares a blue moment or situation in a video does not necessarily mean the entire content is not worth watching or is enjoyable.
You are doing just fine and this video shows your authentic humanity.
I hope this comment was not too heavy/serious. In fact, I enjoyed and appreciated it.
I subscribe to just a few channels and now I know why I subscribed to yours!
I liked your video because it reflects how many of us feel. I believe that a better word to use in place of happy is content. Try that and see if that doesn't help.
Yes agree totally x
You are a complete human being. With happy and sad moments. With love and anger. With hope and frustration. And what’s very important: with the intelligence and sensibility to be able to recognise those feelings, express them, and live with them. I think that that’s life, and you can show the part of it that you want to show. I think that most of your followers are happy with your happy, and would be comfortable if in any moment you need to show unhappy moments, even if they are with Christian. Keep doing what you do and has captivated me, a 44 years old married gay guy from Barcelona! Hugs!
Great job Noah
Glad ur being strong x
I love you more , thanks for being honest . You're always smiling and sweet .I hope you had Christian last forever
Great video, very real. Love it, keep it up man.
Bruh I know this is kinda weird but this video is legit facts like no one takes time to appreciate what they have, people don't live in the moment people are always planning for what comes next and everyone just needs to appreciate what's happening now and not what happens next, for at least a little while. I really needed this video Noah and I'm sure lot''s of other people did too. When I first started watching your videos I did think "Wow he is like really happy in all of these videos", I don't know how to make this not seem weird but I feel like I do wanna see times when you're not always happy, I don't know why, I think that it is because it makes everything seem a little more real, because the truth is that everyone isn't happy all the time and that's reality. Anyways thanks for this video even though I watched it a little after it came out, it helped me a lot.

Oh Noah, I was waiting for this video, because from what we all have experienced, there is not only happiness and fun in life. It inspired me for a long walk as soon we have the spring. Yet it’s raining and even snowing in germany. Also I remember those moments in the past, and for me it was the way to calm down and think. I really hope it’s not any issue, argues or trouble that you suffer from. I’m happy to watch any video that let us be a part of your life for minutes. It’s inspiring and I hope all comments inspires you, too. When I look back to days like you may had when recording this video, I still feel sad but somehow not about what made me sad that days, but that I was unexperienced to handle it in a proper way. Making mistakes is part of our life, nobody can prevent it for anybody as those experiences let us grow. Thanks again for this video as it is showing a real life and a wonderful person. Say hello to christian and hope you both take care for each other even in situations which are hurting. I’m pretty sure you can do, so see you both in next video, please
I hope both of you are safe and healthy right now 💕
I'm a little late responding, but it's been really hard recently. I lost my aunt to cancer, haven't been to work in 5 weeks, and I'm feeling the pressure from my religious family and church because of me being gay. It's hard I just want to be both but people say I can't... I try to put up a front that life is great and okay but alot of times it's not . But I feel I need to be for others.. your videos with Christian put a smile on my face. I'm so thankful for you guys and especially this video being so raw. Thank you
Noah rest assured what you are experiencing is perfectly normal - life is not perfect and it’s not without its ups and downs but if you are strong you will come through it as a better and stronger person. I have every confidence that you are strong, it was good to hear that you and Christian have your ups and downs but that is about building relationships and again learning from your mistakes and building on them. Life is one big adventure and you never know what is round the next corner but it’s worth finding out. It’s also good that you find now time for yourself which you have in this video but also thank you for sharing it - my winter was also bleak at times mainly because of my health but the moment the days became longer and the sun came out my Well being improved dramatically - this dreadful virus has put me in isolation but I have also found that I am surrounded by people who care about me and unknown to me have been keeping a watchful eye on me. I’m sure that is also the case for both you and Christian with your videos you have given pleasure to many across the world and by doing so you have also gained many friends who in there own way care about you both. So keep up the good work and sharing and most of all thank you for being the warm caring people you both are .
@Noah Roth great video and well said!
We know there is stuff about you we don’t know. Heck, There’s stuff about you you don’t know. Who knows what anyone knows? But you are the one sharing with who knows who. And for that, THANK YOU!
I am from the Philippines and when I saw your video in my recommended list, I immediately fell in love to you and Christian. You both are like fireflies that are adorably careless and free and sweet. I lost my Mom who is my bestfriend and less than a year, my Dad followed. It's been three years now.
Noah you are wonderful.
It is great to see you be real. Just remember than a heavy dose of anything soon becomes a bore, so shifting your style from time to time will also intrigue your viewers. The one thing we do not enjoy is watching content providers bitching each other out or treating each other like shit, because it is supposedly part of life. It will do you boys well to be very vidgilent about what happens to your relationship as you age verses the responsibility of producing content regularly. TH-cam has destroyed more gay relationship than you can shake a stick at !
