That lady who thought the orangutans were beautiful, is beautiful.
Such an amazing Human Being!
I love them too. My favorite animal I look for when I go to the zoo
But she paid for animal explotation, that's weird
💯
@@sofiavazquez7915 zoos are typically meant for animals who otherwise would not be able to survive in the wild themselves. Plus, it educates people and persuaded them to care more for nature and the environment. How is that exploitation exactly? Circuses? YES? But zoos? Nah, man. U got it all wrong
“No one looks at a lego brick and thinks “oh this is beautiful” because there’s 10 million of them.”
that’s actually an amazing view on imperfection. 💕
I actually started crying when she said that...
But what if I think legos are beautiful😂
She seems to be a very decent lady with a good heart but in that sentence there's kind of a "mistake".
Even if there was only 1 lego brick in the world it would probably not be beautiful to most of us. On the other hand there are over 1 million trees,flowers,a beautiful brand of a car or whatever and most of us will still think it's beautiful.
@@vhlp4534 you know what? You actually just made me think about this for a long time and i've come to the conclusion that i dont't really agree with that statement. Might be just me but for example i don't find "expensive" cars particularly pretty, i mean yes they might be cool to look at or fun to drive, but i'm not at all interested in them and when i see a fancy car driving by i coulnd't care less how it looks. Same with certain flowers. For example sunflowers, which mostly look the same, i don't find them particularly beautiful but wild rare flowers with different kinds of leaves and stuff i find really pretty and interesting. Long story short, i feel like uniqueness makes for a more beautiful visual :)
@@bea_hani @bea I might be wrong.
I as well don't care about expensive cars but I still think most of them are designed beautifully. I think it's the negative side effects that an expensive car brings with it, e.g. arrogant people, posers...that probably makes you not caring about those cars. About those sunflowers, would you like them if there were only very few of them in the world and those rare plants wouldn't they be beautiful anymore if there were more of them?
I love how nobody in the comments say “that person is so ugly” or “they have an annoying voice” or “their story wasn’t good enough” because this channel has taught us to love everyone and listen to everyone’s stories because they are valid. ☺️
Love this comment
yess
Love this! You are so right
Yeah ur right :)
I love it here
It’s crazy that a stranger walks past u and could have a hole story behind them
Yes what an excellent point to share. If only everyone thought like you. There might be more kindness in the world. ❤️

@@khadijaosama8889 please don't be that guy.
Gabrielleliger I am so sorry.
Alabama Jenny THANK YOU ☺️
Awwwww, that man that said his wife marrying him was the kindest thing anyone had ever done for him is so precious
So cute😄
My heart ❤
Omg! Yes!!!!
Literally nearly made me cry 😭😍

For 3 years you've made 1.1 Million people happy without even meeting us...

Thoraya is the stranger we're gonna remember :)
That old man. “The woman standing beside me married me, that’s the kindest thing anybody ever did for me” such a pure soul
That's the one that made me start crying. I'm 43 and haven't ever been on a date, finding someone feels like a fairy tail now.
@@Islander185 You will find someone who will love you sooner or later, in the meantime please don't forget to take care of yourself because if you eat healthy or at least add healthy food to your diet), take care of your physical body from head to toes (I'm not saying get built...but hey you can do whatever🙂) and when is time for you two to cross paths you don't have to worry about anything else... just come up with ways to hint that person that you like them...also don't worry about getting rejected because that just saves you from heartache, wasted time. You will have a partner soon and y'all will love and enjoy eachother company for many years.
@@KaRiNa-pj9sb Thank you 🙂 I'm trying my best, doing an online how to date course at the moment and making my life the best I can.
Take care. 🙂
Usually it’s when you stop looking, someone special appears out of nowhere. Until then, make yourself visible and while doing the things you love most keep an open mind about the people around you as they often make compatible partners in life since they like the things you do. Hope your someone special shows up soon but if not realize that being single isn’t a curse either. I’m 66 and have never married but had 33 years with my best friend ever until their passing. Find yourself a ‘best’ friend and you are hot on the trail of a forever friend.
I thought it was a beautiful response :-)
“No one wanted me as a kid. I just got passed around”
There is nothing as pure or as innocent as a child. So easy to screw them up. I’m glad he seems to have his shit together.
God bless you man
It is easier to build strong children, than to repair adults.
That guy is so cute. ❤
"she died right there with me"
It's crazy how he says it like a part of him died, rather than sounding like the dog died there alongside him.
I caught that too. Made me sad.
That was an extremely heavy remark he made. I couldn't wrap my mind around it. So much love inside him overcome by an insurmountable amount of grief while holding his dog. How do you even measure that? It's mindblowing.
Y'all gotta stop reminding me of this 😂 I'm emotional enough from this quarantine and needing to study Plath's touching poetry.
My dog passed in my arms and thats how i always say it. Her passing destroyed me. So i caught on to that
My dog also passed away in my arms. We planned on having him put down that night at the vet because he became very sick and his body didn't function right anymore. In the morning we took him out to his favorite sunny spot in the yard and pet him while he was resting, next thing I know he takes his final breath in my arms. I think that made me grieve less in some odd way, I just knew he was at peace while he passed by my side.
the one about last words, that hit hard. my mom passed away and her last words were "im sorry, i love you" i never wanted her to be sorry. its wasnt her fault that cancer sucks. please love the people you have. you never know when they will be gone.
Stay strong! May your mom rest in peace, I send love and courage to you and all your family ❤
that one made me cry so much, it feels like so many people don't realize life can end at any time
Maybe she needed to say that so don't feel bad. Wish you the best 🙏🏻
You're stronger than you think my dear❤
i’m so sorry for you loss🥺i lost my mom to cancer and i really wish i could’ve heard her voice one last time but all i could do was watch, Stay strong love❤️
for “something you wish you had told someone but never did” in high school there was a girl that i had seen around campus a lot and she was constantly smiling and radiated light. i always looked up to her from a distance. in february of 2019 she committed suicide and i wish i had told her how much her smile affected me. a year later and a have a sunflower tattoo in her honor
Damn
Gave me chills
Woow if you did you might have made a difference. Just one single appreciation from a stranger to us depressed and suicide inclined people can make a huge difference. May she rest in peace
@@staraligned so yes I definitely understand and support this but at the same time please don't make this person feel responsible for the girl who committed suicide, because it's not their fault.
There was a boy in school who wanted to be my friend because no one else was nice to him. His home life and hygiene were bad, but he developed a beautiful soul despite all his hardship. He joined band in highschool and found some acceptance, but even among us band geeks he still had a hard time. No girlfriends, until I met him a few years later and he was ENGAGED! I was happy for him and he wanted to get my phone number. I politely declined due to my jealous boyfriend. I should have told him how inspirational he was to me.
A few weeks later I found out his engagement fell through then he offed himself with a shotgun. Had he had my admiration or even just my phone number, maybe he would've alive and well. I'm so sorry Matt!
My boyfriend was strangely callous about Matt. He proposed to me about a month later. I said NO, but continued to date. He was afraid of losing me and decided to do something about it. He drugged me, ripped off my birth control patch, and raped me for 3 days. When I came to, I was knocking on deaths door. I begged his mother for help, so she took me home. I had recently been in kidney failure due to dehydration at the Citadel and lost my full scholarship so I was living with my parents. They didn't take me to the hospital either. 3 more days passed without food or water. It's amazing I'm alive to tell my story.
I broke it off with the boy"friend" and he ended up with a new girlfriend VERY shortly after. He called me 4 months later wanting me to talk to his fiance. She was having doubts and he wanted a CHARACTER REFERENCE. I could have made her run for the hills by telling ALL, but I was very careful. I told her to trust her instincts and that I wish I had.
This is when I realized Matt could have saved my life with his death. Thank you Matt!
Then a month or so later I got a call from my ex's mom saying he died in his sleep. She said" it was an accidental overdose off pills and alcohol. His fiance had broken it off and he was just letting off steam."
I can't help but wonder how he died the very way he almost killed me. Was it suicide, justice or both?
"Beauty is looking at the imperfections the right way."
I love when she mentioned that. And she stated that none of this would be useful yet it was so profoundly useful to share her thoughts and how she viewed imperfections!
I just lost my mom to COVID-19. She was 65 years old. She had been suffering from Alzheimer for the past 13 years. Dealing with her death has been incredibly difficult as she was such a loving, kind mother and individual. We lost her progressively as the years went by, and it was really challenging because I was just a child when it all began (I was 11). Watching this video reminded me that I am not alone in my grieving journey. Thanks for this video
I hope you are doing ok....Take care of yourself..
I'm so sorry ❤️
I Am soorry sweet heart
I’m so sorry to hear this💝sending all my love to you xxxx
❤️❤️❤️
The 3rd person is beautiful just for saying that. She’s so precious
Agreed! I hope she learns to see that in herself! Thoraya was so sweet to ask if she should stop filming when she got emotional. So considerate.
SuperChava28 was thinking the same thing. Thoraya actually cares for people, not views.
She is so beautiful... its coming through from inside.
Yup exactly I thought the same 💕💫
I wish my sister sees that when she looks in the mirror😣😢😢
55 seconds in and I’m crying like a baby.
Same💕
same here
Same here 😢
I watched this with my dog in my arms. When he started talking about his black lab I just held her tighter. She’s turning 3 on Christmas Eve and is my best friend in the whole world
❤🙏🏼
I know exactly how you feel 💞♾️💗
The guy was so cute! ❤
My sweet baby died on Sunday. He was 18. He took part of my heart when he left. This crushed me. RIP Lewis.💔💔💔💔🐾🇨🇦
I lost my mom, my 2 sisters and my daughter all this happened in just 2 years, and here I am alive, strong with hope, faith and love.
You can be so proud of you. Stay strong ❤
Wish you all the happiness you deserve 💕💝
Oh you strong human, my heart ached physically reading this. I'm sending you so much love and warmth.
im so proud of u if u need somone listen to you im here for you
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Also I'm very impressed, you have a strong heart and spirit. Share it with others and it will help to keep it that way
I wonder if I saw myself on camera being interviewed like this would I see my own beauty as I see in every one of these people. I am not sure how but she has a way of showing their beauty in such a unique way.
These are ordinary people but when I see them in these videos SO close up that you could see every flaw but you There is something SO beautiful about each of them. I sometimes wonder if she recorded me and I saw myself would I have that same reaction.
Shell Shocked Mummy that’s what I think about too
I also think about that
Omg so true
atropos aisa I am glad I am not the only one but it crossed my mind
løvely x I wonder if they saw themselves differently after watching themselves too!
Never judge people because you never know what they’re going through in their life whether they show it or not.
This honestly just shows how much pent up emotion we all have wallowing inside of us on a day to day basis. Sometimes all we really need is for someone to listen. To be heard. And felt. We as a whole are all so sad.
I wonder if Thoraya cries behind the scene because Damn I would be weeping 😫
I cry every time I come here
Same
I don’t cry, but dust gets in my eyes.
@@Agent.K. Aww lol
Alice Lookingglass I’m sweating from my eyes bro... I swear 🥺
I often wonder if I'd participate if I ever were to be asked questions by strangers. It takes a special kind of courage to be vulnerable with someone you've never met and I'm not certain I have that in me.
we never really know how brave we are until we look back to those moments. i would personally go for it because i know even if i'd cry right in front of the camera, i could touch millions watching the video back home. so sometimes we do things for others, and that builds up courage within us kind of?
I think you’d surprise yourself and I believe you have it in your soul to do that for sure
I don't know if I would before I found this channel, but now that I frequent this channel, I absolutely would.
@@mina4426 i'd say we don't know how brave we are until the situation is presented to us, not when it's already in the past
i may have done something brave a year ago, it doesnt mean i'll be just as brave today
I think you are right, but we are so wrong if we don’t express it
The lady that spoke about the imperfections has such a sweet, young and pure voice. Ohmygosh, she made me smile so much! So beautiful
I sincerely hope the young gentleman who spoke about his brothers suicide has been able to actively engage in a profrdsional career supporting others. He has a lovely, gentle open and sincere concern for those struggling with their mental health. If ever we needed people like him, it's now during the worlds pandemic.
The man saying that his wife marrying him was the kindest thing anyone has ever done for him 😭😭🥺🥺 my heart ❤️🥺
The thing is, marrying someone is when you put them before yourself. You bargain with life and death for more time with one person you want forever. (Idk if it's like that for polys)
Tbh I got an impression that she married him out of pity
After hearing that I had to look for a comment on it so that I would hve someone to cry with
Time? Please..
Is it 5:51?
😥😥❤❤❤❤
The women in shades...
she had the most sparkly smile on her face but her eyes are still tearing up for her mother behind those shades even after 14 years
I felt her so much. She was so beautiful inside and out. ❤️❤️❤️
arlo247
Yes she was. I don’t ever wanna lose my momma.
Makes you realize how special and mother daughter relationship is 😭😭😭
she’s my wife somewhere in the future when my mother in law passes. She even looks like her. I think my wife is so strict and methodic and like perfectionist. my mother in law is the personification of I don’t give a f, and I love her and we get along so well. And my wife has had always had a hard time dealing with it and I always try to remember her to appreciate her mom while she can.
I felt that. My mom passed due to breast cancer when I was 12. You never get over losing your mom.
Anyone else just loves the fact that the 'you want me to stop?' question is asked everything someone starts crying? It's so respectful! ❣️
I agree @juliequadflieg3956 and I think they don’t because they see an opportunity to talk and share and speak about it, which we rarely get in our mad world 💖 xxx
"Being able to see the imperfections the right way." That was real wisdom.
The title should be “try not to cry”
I thought the same thing 😭
I lost it in the first 5 seconds
The man losing his lab when he was young and hugging it by the side of the road made me cry 😭
The one with the dog made me go from 😔 to 😭
I lost
It's really silently shocking to think that there are people in BILLIONS in this world!! And every single individual is going through something and we don't know their story.
Miss Thoraya, you are bringing those stories into life and giving your viewers a chance to have a glimpse of those stories. And indirectly making us a better person :)
All the love from India 🤗
i just love what you wrote... it's so kind and beautiful and real. thank you
Yes! She is helping us by showing how much we all truly have in common!!
Love to all from the US!🌻🦋♥️
You're so right....and a lot of people don't realise and treat others like crap not knowing what the other person is going through
The lady talking about being free from the stigma of her sexuality. What a beautiful smile she has, and when she talked about the negatives things her whole face changed. You could literally see the pain on her face. When she got back to the positive , and her expression went back to Joy and peace, it reminded me to smile more because you never know what somebody's going through on the inside. 🙂
i really can relate to the guy who lost his dog. i had a cat for a little over 10 years. he was my best friend and the only thing i have ever been that close to. he taught me about loss, and still to this day was the only thing i’ve truly ever had to say goodbye to. i still think about him everyday and it’s been almost 4 years.
Awww is that him in the profile ?
u could have a million friends and still feel alone, that’s the thing about depression that ppl don’t always understand
Very true...it's a dark world and place to be in.Wouldn't wish that for anyone.Only God who can completely heal one from that.
People with it don’t understand it either. Why this and why that it’s all confusing.
But, there are a lot of people that feel alone when they have friends.
Take Kakashi Hatake for example he lost a lot and always feels alone but he has wonderful students surrounding him, thankfully he realizes
Yes
rather have 1 really good friend than a million "friends"
The first girl got me really bad 😢😭
I start crying when I hear her words
I was crying too
I lost my twin brother 19 years ago, nearly 20.
I fucking keep crying from that, so so much.
Same
Meee toooo... 😩😩
I wish more people could watch videos like this instead of judging others. Don't be mean to people, you never know what they are going through.
"...and I'm forty now, so it shows you I've only been free for a short while." Oh, baby. My heart.
The tears just came out after that😭
I love the last guy. Suicide isn't selfish, I think it's even more selfish and disrespectful to say suicide is selfish. But I do understand the pain that comes from mourning someone that took their own life. Nearly 4 years ago a young girl from my town took her own life due to bullying, then a year later so did one of my friends from the same town. They were both struggling with their own lives, that that's what it came to. The young girl was just 16. My friend was 18. We all deal with stuff differently. Let us deal with life how we need to.
Whether it’s selfish or not is a philosophical discussion. Some people believe it’s selfish and that’s their opinion.
I understand what people mean when they say so, when I committed suicide I didn't think about anything or anyone but ending my own suffering. I just wanted the pain to go away, I had reached a point where I just didn't care anymore about anything, who I would hurt or what would happen in the world after me. It was extremely selfish to think that way, but I know that my brain chemistry just was so fd up that it seemed like the only option to me to get out of that situation. I had and still have an illness that caused that state of mind.
Shaming suicidal people is not going to help anybody but I understand why it seem selfish and where the people who say things like that are coming from.
pakoonkanssasi there’s a book called Beyond Happiness by Ezra Bayda that I highly recommend. Beyond that, getting lots of sunlight, fresh air, good sleep, and exercise helped me get out of depression. Now I’m able to see life much differently and I feel better, physically. I’m starting now to get into nutrition. I understand the body is a type of machine that needs certain things to work well. If we deprive it of those things, then it won’t function properly. Best of luck and glad you are still here.
I can totally relate and I'm so so sorry that happened to you cause I know what it's like, last year a kid in my class committed suicide and our whole grade went into a really dark place and we were only 12.
Suicide is definitely not selfish the person would be in such incredible pain that they see that as the only way out, someone can't be kept alive for others. They may try to stay alive for others but they cant keep it up indefinitely. Maybe its selfish of others to want someone to go on in their suffering just so they dont suffer. Of course its best if the person tries to fix their problems first or tries to fix themselves first, but none can say when enough pain or enough trying is enough.
The lady that was crying because of her mom, 14 years later hit hard and so did the girl in the beginning. I lost my brother 2 years ago, it's still very hard, I still can't look at pictures of him without feeling gutted
It's okay not to be okay.
Sorry to hear that. With time it gets better, but there always gonna be moments when you'll burst into tears, that never goes away.
I’m sorry for your loss. Losing a sibling is very difficult, I lost my brother at the beginning of the year and I’m in so much pain. I’m healing, slowly but surely. I’ll pray for you. ❤️ just know that you aren’t alone
@@melp.6714 Thank you 💗
@Marvin Hernandez thank you god bless you 💗
I just want to hug everyone! If you are reading this and you are in dark place, I need to tell you: you’re important! Don’t give up!
Yes, the man talking on suicide is someone people need to listen to.
The one about the dog got me and I just started crying with no noise at all.
I’ve lost a dog and a cat. People don’t realize that pets become apart of your family and you should spend time with your pets.
My cat died right before lockdown where I live. I don't live with my parents so I couldn't see him and it really has been the worst loss of my life. I try to remind myself I loved that cat with everything I had and he showed me he loved me too and that's all I really want for any pet. That they know they are loved 😢💕
I look at my puppy and cry it's hard I must say when you lose your pet.
My first real pet, my cat, was like a daughter to me. ❤️
I got my current doggo Sookie a few months after I lost my dad and I was the best thing I could have done. She's my world shes 4 years old I've already cried thinking about losing her. She as I'm typing this is shoving a toy into the back of my phone.
same. I just started crying then and there
"I've only been free for a short while." Wow. So powerful.
When the question was “is there something you’re scared to share with people?”
I just burst into tears because I am that person who doesn’t cry, looks happy all the time and looks stable on the outside, but when I am in my room I cry for hours! I have had anxiety attacks too! Because I never tell anyone how I am feeling! I hold all my secrets in and I don’t tell anyone, not even my own family. Hopefully in the future will open up to people about my feelings.
I know this feeling so well... Everybody thinks I'm OK, and happy and healthy, and I'm nothing of this. I'm definitely not ok, I'm not happy and I'm not healthy. Neither physically nor mentally. But Noone knows this
I feel the same 😔 I feel like there's literally no one whom I can share my real feelings with even though I'm surrounded by people. But regardless, I'm praying for my own healing, I pray for your healing and I pray for everyone who's feeling this loneliness right now. I pray that soon we will all be free of this 💓
I can so relate to the lady talking about her brother. It’s so hard to carry on after losing your sibling. Heart goes out to you girl, I am walking that same path.
I appreciate the fact that you offer to stop filming. It takes a lot of courage for people to open up so the fact that you offer to let them back out is really respectful. It's also amazing that people are willing to open up and continue speaking even though it hurts.
I love how you ask the strangers "if you would like me to stop?", that to me is kindness❤️. To make sure that they are comfortable and safe to speak what they would like to say 👏🏽
7:37
I really relate to that. I felt unwanted and was passed around, moved around etc. It’s hard going through life with that early wound. Feels like you never belong anywhere. Hopefully he has people around who remind him of his value.
So many wonderful and heartbreaking stories. This is why we need to go through life with more empathy because everyone has a story. We’re all just trying to live.
The 8th person man.. almost made me cry and made me realize how wonderful it is that I can still be with my grandparents and I regret the times where I would just be playing on my phone or something while I’m with them
I hope the girl at 1:46 will see this comment, when I saw her I thought what a kind face and beautiful smile !!!!
I'm related to the guy who lost his dog. I lost our dog too because of car accident and until now, I'm still blaming myself for not saving him. That accident lead me in trauma He's the most wonderful and loyal dog that we ever had.
It's not your fault you loved that dog and would never intentionally hurt it. Shitty things happen unfortunately :(((
I cried so hard when he said the gate was open I instantly knew
@@anz10thank you. I feel so lonely without him. If I can turn back the time, I would rather pushed him away than see him dying. If only.
@@carmenbaby it brought me chills too. I thought his dog will survive after seeing her in the other side of the street but, that was only a thought.
I lost my 1st dog back in 2016, till this day I have dreams of her sitting in this old sofa of ours. Every time I ask, “what are doing here sisi?” & she wags her tail as I step towards her. I know she is visiting me.
I'm literally crying from the woman whose mom died from breast cancer😭😭😭
"What does beauty mean to you" reply was and is one the best best best lines I've ever been lucky to listen. Searched back for this video after a year.
It's so kind that Thoraya always asks if the strangers want her to stop recording out of respect. That's really beautiful.
“As anyone who has felt loss can understand, there’s a door that opens that you step through, and everything is different on the other side. But when this great loss crystallises inside me, and my chest rebuilds around it, hopefully I’ll be able to finish up, and share it with you, and we’ll all grow together, as we always do.” - Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor
I love her
my baby
Lorde! I love Lorde. What a great quote.
I love that every time someone gets emotional, Thoraya immediately asked “You want me to stop?” Like it’s simple and seems obvious but it’s so kind and thoughtful and sensitive xxx 💖
She won't miss her brother for a "really long time". She will love and miss him for the rest of her life. That's how we know we really loved them.
Let me tell you something uglyness is nothing...i have videos and photos of me when i was 12 and ugly and when i see those videos and photos i only see hapiness to my old self and why i was happy? Because i did things that made me happy and i didnt care what people think of me but now as a 17 year old boy i care a lot for what other people think of me for no reason at all!
You will grow out of it! You're 17, and you already realize that the difference is all in being true to yourself... I don't know if it's your case, but I remember I knew this too, as a teenager, but knowing is a thing, and actually managing to be your true self is another at 17, because you feel like you don't really know what your true self is... But you'll understand. It gets better. Much better!
@@inomisonotuttipresi As a 17 year old my i agree with him and with you for me it is really hard to find a sens of belonging to anything i feel like i am not good enough for myself and for others as well
Without some make-up I see ugly reflected. However I always think about my childhood it makes me happy!! I hope you find the happiness you seek.
When you get out of high school I promise you it gets so much better.....always remember to seek the truth in every aspect of your life and you will come out ok and happy.....
Older children and teens go through a long time of being scared of being negatively judged. It's harder if you don't have supportive family or friends, or are emotionally isolated.
It gets easier as we earn more experience in life.
If someone doesn't have a good home life and you can have your own safety, be a friend or at least kind, to everyone you pass. ✨️
The last guy talking about suicide: bless him! Or actually bless everyone. Being vulnerable is beautiful. Being vulnerable is needed in this world. Please be kind to others and show love. You never know how much it means to the other. Take care everyone!
This whole video had me crying right from the start.
I had always felt like I was the cause of everyone's death and I get so scared thinking of who might die next because of me. I have never told anyone I feel this way all the time yet and I know I'm only 15 but I've been so scared of people leaving me and I cry all the time. So far in my life 18 people have passed away that were close to me including my childhood friend, grandpa, uncles, and close "family-friends". I have gone to many funerals and I've gone to the cemetery many times starting at such a young age. Even when I was born my mother told me that while she was about to give birth to me a lady in the next room over baby had died. This always made me sad and I always thought that maybe that baby could've had a chance if it weren't for me. A few months ago my mom and dad had gotten in a car accident just a few days before my birthday. My dad is fine but my mom is still recovering from her back and mentally but in that same week of my birthday my grandpa died and ever since then my dad hasn't been the same as he still hasn't gotten over his dad's (my grandpa's) death. And this month 2 more people died (my moms friend and her coworker).
Because of all this happening in my life, my mind seems to overreact when let's say (example) "my mom is going to get groceries and she'll be back in about an hour". My mind (without me even wanting to) starts to think "wait its almost 2 hours, oh no did she get in an accident or did someone kidnap her or did she lose her way and end up somewhere else or something's worse. Because of this I call my parents every day when they go to work at the same time for as long as they can talk.
I don't want to tell my parents or anyone else about this because I feel like they'll think I'm overreacting or a crybaby.
Idk If this is an illness or something mental or a disorder but if anyone can tell me please do so!
Thank you for sharing, I just want you to know that nothing is wrong with you and you are not overreacting and I hope that you are doing well now
Dear child, you are carrying too much alone! Please please talk to your parents or anyone who really listens to you 🙏🏼
It seems like you are living with an anxiety condition and THAT'S OKAY!! 👍
But it can use more energy in a way that, maybe, you would like to 🙂
There's nothing wrong with you, in fact you seem like a sweet and kind soul!
The guy saying this lady standing next me married me and it the kindest thing anybody has ever done to him was so emotional and genuine.
His love for her and their eternal bonding was so clear in their eyes and that was the best part of this video.
One day you’ll be this stranger interviewed by Thoraya
I hope so.
I hope so! I'm extremely shy but I feel like I would be comfortable enough to interview with her.
No matter I adore watching these individuals and listening to their responses. It is beautiful to be vulnerable around a stranger and the idea of never seeing them again is memorable and romantic. The only person you told you may never see again. IMO
Probably not if you live in another country
Me responding to these questions & practicing what to say
Imagine being the driver in that car that hit and killed the dog and see the kid come holding him and crying :/ I’d be so hurt man
Chum Bucket that happened to my dog and the driver kept going
@@bugsbundy2459 Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that, that must’ve felt so terrible. I hope that you’re ok. I hope your pet is resting in peace.
I would never forgive myself
Someone hit my cat, looked at it while my cat dying, and then kept going.
I hit my own cat in 2017. He ran into the bushes in the dark and was dead by the time I found him a few minutes later. His name is my passwords too. I've had lots of cats, I have four now, but that one was really special. 😭😭😭
I want to give all these people a massive hug.
"no one looks at a lego brick and says "oh thats beautiful" because there is ten million of them."
This has taught me that next time I play with legos to appreciate all of them
there is something so painfully beautiful to see people say “no it’s okay” when they are struggling to finish what they have to say. there’s something in you that makes you need to say your piece, to share your story or someone else’s story. to help yourself and to help others. it is so healing to tell your story even when it hurts. and it’s so beautiful to watch these people force themselves to find their strength for the greater good, whatever that is. these people are all so beautiful. people are beautiful. you are beautiful
❤️
Exactly. ❤️
Yesss ❤
I wish there was a Love button instead of a Like button. Much love to you Thoraya and all of the wonderful strangers you've shared moments with and then shared with the world ❤️
Love for Thoraya ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I try to watch a few of these videos before going to work every day. I work in the criminal justice system and I find these videos help me see people differently. Folks are more than their bad decisions or poor choices.
The last man who lost his brother had very endearing eyes. Props to him for using her platform to spread compassion. His brother would be proud.
Ask college kids if they're studying what they love
2:02 she is honestly beautiful 🥺
I think so too!! ❤
She is! She has a very kind face and beautiful smile
The guy with the dog really spoke to me I had a black lab a couple years ago from when I was little and he got hit by a car I know the pain he goes through everyday.
That guy who spoke about his first dog, resonated with me. Mine also died due to car accident at age 8, he got out of our house and went to the main road then a speeding car hit him, the driver did not even bother to come down from the car and help my dog.
It was too late when my neighbors found my dog, he's gone. Too sudden.
The family and our neighbors immediately held a funeral, he was a beloved dog and they all decided to bury him beside the chapel.
I felt bad because I just went back to college from christmas break and then that happened. Felt like God gave us those 3 weeks to spend together before He called him back to heaven.
I miss him and he's still my password to several accounts 11 years later. Will never forget you, D. 💗
The mother dying with cancer...that hit me. Mom is always mom. It’s been 14 years she said. Also, the guy who said he never had a family and was tossed around. It’s crazy that grief never leaves us...we just learn to accept or live with it. It never really goes away. Sending love to everyone in this video and those who have lost someone or something ❤️
But like, i teared up when the guy was talking about his dog, and how his dog died in his arms. I have gone through the same thing, exept that I didnt get a chance to say goodbye. His name was Joey, he was only 2 beautiful months old. I love him so so dearly, but when I was at hockey practice my dad drove over him. I was broken when I heard that my baby was ggone (please note I was 10 years old at the time) and I went into some depression. The very next week my mom came home with a precious 12 week old rescue Jack/lab mix. I called him Jayden, he didnt replace Joey but he sure did heal me a whole lot. Jay is laying next to me on my bed right now, and I pray to dear God that he will never get hurt. My best friend honestly. So I felt for the guy, truly.
i'm very close to my siblings, and thinking about the day id lose them wrecks me... the very first one made me sob :( i just wanna give her a hug...
The one who lost his dog got me... The dog died because several people had been careless. It's a teaching on what awareness and mindfulness mean. ♥
7:38 guy, most beautiful eyes ive ever seen. Your lige story is hearbreaking but I know you have the most brave and sensitive heart. May God bless you. 🙏
I want to say thank you to all of the strangers that participate in these videos. It is very brave of all of you and you guys never know whose life you are going to touch next. Thank you Thoraya for taking your time to meet with these incredible people and listening and sharing their story.
What I’m scared of telling people... is that I am scared.... I show strength... but that’s all it is... a show, a projection of who I was... when in reality I am afraid and filled with anxiety and stress... because I don’t want my loved ones and the people I care about to worry... even though I know that I am hurting myself in the process... I miss who I was... I don’t even know who I am anymore...
The LEGO lady reminded me of this saying: "It is ordinary to love the beautiful. But it is beautiful to love the ordinary."
"Got out of Illinois" man that one hits. I was born in IL, raised all over the country in foster care, nobody else wanting me either. And I ended up back in Illinois with dcfs, now I'm just trying really hard to get back out of here.
may God will be with you
I am with you in thought and empathy. I'm sorry you've experienced that in your life. May you be stronger and more loving through the life lessons you've observed. :(
@@atlas6458 thank you
@@huyked thank you. I have to make a really conscious effort to not be a worse person bc of it. It's hard to not be bitter but I don't wanna be unhappy my whole life bc of my past haha
You're welcome, @@bemeeklezvelveeta6719
That's good to hear. I'm sure it takes a lot to go past what you've experienced and not be bitter. I truly admire that you're conscious of that, and that you're trying to be better for it. Anytime you need to talk, just let me know. Email is my user name @gmail.com
I could never imagine my life without my mom and dad. So whenever I hear people talk about their loss it brings me to tears. I’m so sorry to anyone who has gone through this❤️
Hold them close and spend time with them
I never knew my mom as I lost her when I was 2 and lost my dad when I was 13..the effects is huge, I can’t even explain it..am just gonna encourage y’all to love and cherish your parents if you still have them.
@@kri8tiv great advice. Hope your doing much better. So sorry for your loss.
"accepting they have depression" wow....such a STRONG sentence.....
"Look at the imperfection the right way"👏🏼
02:11 "Seeing the imperfections the right way" Man, that's pretty deep. 🤔
I lost my brother too, almost 3 years ago. losing a sibling is indescribable to anyone who hasn't experienced it, but videos like this make me feel less lonely.
zannny I’m so sorry 💛 I feel like when you lose a sibling everyone reacts the same: “it must have been so hard for your parents” which is so true. But nobody really mentions the siblings that are left behind. I really understand your pain ☺️ I will never stop missing my brother
Lost mine in June...June 13th my heart is so broken, I can’t even describe the pain I feel... I’m not healed but feel like nobody understand how hard it is to even go on everyday. It’s like ppl ask how you are the first week then it’s back to normal. Not for me. I lost a part of who I was spiritually because of losing him. time doesn’t heal either. I know your pain.
I lost my brother on Aug 3rd 2020. Its been a living hell for me. I cry everyday and wished I told him I loved him more often. Then to make it harder his wife didn't include my parents in his funeral arrangements nothing. That's so disrespectful I know God will deal her and her daughter for what they did. The daughter didn't belong to my brother. God Bless all of you 🙏
I feel your pain. For me it's now 4 years ago that my brother died unexpected, he was 24 years old and died from a bacterial infection, still struggle with it, and see my parents have so much pain and grief, that feeling is hard. And reading your stories off all off you, i feel less loney, because it's hard to understand for people what you have going trough. (Sorry for my English, im from the Netherlands) sending love to you all!
When I watch these videos, I recognize that all strangers I’ve passed by have their own intricate lives with unique narratives and struggles.
Just stumbled upon this channel... I'm absolutely hooked! THANK YOU for what you're doing! Peering into people's humanity, being able to see the similarities and connecting to absolute strangers is the most beautiful thing I've seen on TH-cam. Please don't stop doing what you're doing. I hope you get many more millions of ppl watching this! Big Love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
3:42 - Oh, my heart.. that hits home 💔😭🐾 Few years ago on my 21st birthday I had been living with my stepmom at her house in a rural countryside like area right off the highway celebrating with some friends. It was around 9/10 at night, my stepmom let my 15lb white little mix dog I rescued from the pound a few years prior and her 2 Chihuahuas outside to potty. Because mine was a rescue, he's needed a lot of rehabilitation and training because he was very fearful of everything and tended to be really skiddish of things, it was his biggest obstacle we were overcoming so I was always with him when outside ESPECIALLY at night, but when she lets her own dogs out she just opens he door, let's them out, and they come back, this is their home and all they've known, but me and my dog had only been moved in a few months, he wasn't used to this area and routine. Because I was celebrating with my friends she was kind enough to let him out to potty for me and I appreciate her for that- but she forgot to stay outside with him... When she opened the door about 10m-15m later to let them back in, her dogs were back, but mine.. was not....
I never found him on the highway. There were no signs of coyotes but a big possibility. To this day I don't know what happened to him. I had flyers everywhere, he is/was microchipped and I payed for boosting awareness in his chip incase someone picked him up. I didn't get to raise him but I did get to rescue him and we did so much together. We went kayaking, we went across country on a road trip, we went to the top of a mountain together, he brought me out of my shell as much as I brought him out of his. He was more than my dog, he was my best friend. I have no idea what happened to him and it breaks my heart to this day. For all I know he could still be out there, he'd be approximately 6-7 by now, or maybe he's gone. I have no closure and it pains me greatly... Scoobs, I miss you. I'm still trying to find you and waiting for your return. 💔
I thank the man at the end of the video. I was in my Algebra class one day and a my class got onto the topic of suicide. I don’t remember how but I do remember my teacher saying that it was selfish in a sort of angry tone. I personally don’t believe that it’s selfish but that wasn’t the thing that made me annoyed to hear. It was the fact that she said that in a room with those that have contemplated the decision which would be a finality. I thought that even if it is selfish, would she say that to someone who she knew was suicidal? She was talking to the whole class but her words affected me indirectly. I don’t need to be shamed. I need to be helped and that would certainly not help me to hear that I am also selfish added onto the things that I already hate about me. I understand that she wants to help, but saying that to a person that wants to take their own life will just give them another reason to. Please don’t ever say an individual is selfish because of the immense pain that they are in. Hear their cries, feel their shakes and shivers, listen to their words because that is better than saying I am selfish.
I was scrolling down the comments section to read something special about that guy at the end and I found yours. I know suicide is a real issue for so many people under the sun and I really hope you overcome this desire to take your life.
Contemplated suicide as a finality is a hard one, it means that you reached a dark place where you think life is not worth to be lived anymore.
My advice to you is : be careful because the suicidal waves of thoughts are never too far and will once again try to sink you. Keep your head out of the water, and seek Christ Jesus who helped so many people in this state of despairs and depression and never forget, suicide is not the solution of your problems.
If you do not mind, let me share these songs with you they are just uplifting the soul, and they are bringing hope and light over the darkness that keep the heart in deep, deep sadness.

I love this channel it makes me feel empty and full all at the same time.
Just wanted to thank you for sharing these with me/us c: and I hope you can keep sharing because it really can help others especially to know that they're not the only person going through things. I just recently discovered your videos and I'm not sure that I'll be able to fully catch up on them all but I do really appreciate seeing them and knowing that I'm not alone and that others have it worse yet still remain strong c: I survived many things but by far the worst was when I became suicidal in 2013 and I fought hard to not follow through with the thoughts and urges because I wanted to see my daughters grow up and to see who they become and that want was far stronger then the urges I was having :) and even through that,I was not ashamed to seek help or make requests to ensure safety of others, not only myself and I'm very proud of myself for seeking help and I'll never be ashamed of any of my mental ailments or of knowing that I'll always need medication (:
I’m not sure if we could start a chain like this in the comments but my best friend was in the back of an ambulance with our families but a soul train came and she passed. I’ll never forget you Emily, heaven gained a beautiful angel! 😭🤍
That dog story hit me hard. My first dog died from getting hit by a car when I was young, too, only I wasn't there to see it. I was told about it when I got home. My family dog that I grew up with, though, had to be put down last summer due to seizures. Although we'd had to have a couple of family dogs put down before due to various health reasons, this was the first time I held one in my arms while she was being put to sleep. It still makes me cry to think about it. I miss her, especially when I visit my parents and she's not there to sleep at the foot of my bed at night like she used to. My parents have another dog now and she's sweet (and derpy), but I've never felt as close to her as I did my old dog Bitsy who I grew up with.
Haven’t seen you for a. Very long time. Every one of your posts are the most interesting and helpful!!❤
These are great. Thank-you, Thoraya.
i didn't ask to be sad today :C
Thoraya: “What do you think you were scared of?”
*child screeching in background*
My ears were not prepared
All your videos make my heart squeeze but also break. It’s amazing how strong and resilient people are but also how fragile and traumatised people are behind their smiles. 😢
The woman who said her mom died from breast cancer, was the same as mine. My mom passed away from that as well and a lot of my family members say that I look just like her...
I feel very lonely sometimes when she's not here but I know that she wants me to be happy. I miss her...
