I love you Leah! I’m SO proud of you and your growth this past year. Your spirit and authenticity in the world is absolute medicine for me and everyone who receives you ❤️ thank you for sharing with us. I support & love you unconditionally. You’re an Angel and that’s that

"Go at your own pace." - is something that I keep telling myself. It started when I was climbing this steep hill on my bike and some of my friends were so fast that I couldn't match the effort they were exerting, so I always take deep breaths and whispered, "Your own pace". And guess what, we all got to the top of the hill. They may be faster than me, but hey I did it, and I couldn't be more proud of myself.

there is a war in my country(im from ukraine), Only now im starting to cherish my old life..and how ungrateful i was. and I have been in another country for a year now. The constant comparison with the fact that people have a home, and a family ..Its soo draining( But this is not available to me now, it makes me depressed. But your video is very comforting, everything changes and after the rain there will be sun.!

I really resonate with 16:16-16:44 — life is about stopping and smelling the roses! Why race to the end? When I find myself wishing I already had my life goals accomplished, travel, fitness, relationships, career, etc. I take a deep breath and remind myself that life is a journey. Every day is a step. Enjoy the walk!

I remember noticing that everyone was in Paris during that time and I was like is this planned ?? lol and obviously no hate to other channels but your videos always stand out to me and feel very authentic, genuine, funny, and tender. You've been my fav channel for years now, but I completely understand those feelings. I am at a place I thought I would never be, something I worked really hard for but I thought would never come true, and now I am here frozen because of comparison. Seeing this video as a sign to keep walking when I see that van.... anyways, sending love to you!

I love to repeat to myself “I am unique. I deserve to be loved as much as everyone else” as soon as I wake up :) it helps feeling better about myself and my journey

You are so gifted with the way you can connect with people through a screen. Such a genuine spirit that you share with everyone around you♡ Thank you for sharing and uplifting those around you!!

This video made me emotional😔 I'm 25 years old and still struggling with my studies and finances. I always compare my self to other people a lot. Seeing most of them living successful life in their mid 20's and I'm sitting here like a piece of sh!t😶. Instead of getting inspired by successful people i tend to be unmotivated easily by seeing them. I always feel pathetic about my self. I found my self procrastinating a lot recently and doing nothing. Even when I'm writing this comment the only thing that roaming around my mind is "what am i doing with my life?" "I'm such a loser". Hmmm... I don't know. I'm going to watch this video again try to catch myself before it's too late. Thank you leah. ❤️

"going on walks is just as important as getting my work done." omg this sentence hit me. i've been struggling so much with work/life balance, feeling too guilty whenever i take a day to chill so i'll end up working anyway. love this video though! so many wonderful reminders to be more gentle to myself and to those around me. thank you leah <3 i got here from ro's channel and aaa you both are amazing!! sending love from indonesia
-
omg what u said about being in a relationship/being single is the bane of my comparison issues. I've never had a boyfriend and I'm 22. I've been on dates and had flings, but i never met someone i really wanted to be with long-term. i always feel horrible about it especially because people always react sooo shocked and question why when i tell them. i hate it!!!
-
i wish i heard this 2 years ago before everything went down the hill. but i'm grateful i got to experience what i did bcs it expands me even more <3. thank you Leah for the beautiful reminder.

this video came at the perfect time, i just talked to my mum about this… feeling like you're not good enough when you're surrounded by amazing people. but then you have to remember that the reason why they're friends with you is probably because you're pretty awesome too :)

she is so amazing. I really needed this, I feel like this is a topic that needs to be talked about with a lot of YouTubers since mostly their life is romanticized and everybody thinks they are perfect. I am so proud of people who come out of there shell and what some people call ''overshare''. You are someone I strive to be knowing that you don't let your imperfections define you. This may mean nothing to you but I hope this reaches people who need this ❤

i haven't even finished watching the video but can i just say i MISSED these sit down talking videos that are more podcasty and also UR HAIR??? stunning. it's giving whimsical fairy princess. 💗💗💗

I was trying to find something relaxing to watch, since i love this channel. Ended up having a deep moment with myself, cried thinking about the past and how much I've improved. Also felt sad for the child i once was... I went around my house and found a wonderful picture of me when i was younger. Love that idea.. Thank you wish you happiness and health Thank you once more 🌸

Although sometimes I'm overwhelmed by technology, I'm so grateful it let me know you in this unique way. Your words and kindness always impact me in a real way, and I can honestly say that meeting your channel has made my life better. Thanks for being like a big sister; i definitely look up to you. Or as you put it; you expand my horizons as to how I can be! 💓 And thank you as well for always offering us your beautiful videos without neglecting yourself 🤍 I hope our comments can also cheer you up in return🌷 Love you!!

Thank you for this talk ❤ I am in my final year of my BFA and my entire world has revolved around the fact that I am “going through college” , that I am “getting done in 3 years”, and that “my parents must be so proud”. But over winter break I somehow realized that so much of my personality and my goals in life are designed to appease other people. I wasn’t a bad kid growing up, but I made some choices that hurt my parents and from then on I always felt like I had to make up for my wrong doings. In my little mind, the best way of doing that was to succeed in school. I did every AP course my dad suggested, even the ones I hated like Biology and Calculus, and cried every night because I couldn’t figure out why I was doing well but felt so empty. The same mentality carried over into college. I am getting a BFA in Painting like I always wanted, but the topics I paint revolve around what I think my family or professors would like. I somehow managed an A in every course, including maths and sciences (my hardest subjects), yet I feel so empty. As I’m getting ready to graduate, I’m looking into MFA programs and comparing Comparing COMPARING myself to everyone I know who has gotten in. I realized I don’t know what I want to do with my art. I know what I want to do commercially, but my current concepts and style are not my own. Your video is very comforting to me and it gave me the push I need to take a deep breath and force myself to slow down and, as you said, be kind to my younger self. Because I’ve realized that this entire time I’ve been trying to forget about my younger self, and it wasn’t really her fault for what happened. I made mistakes purely because I never knew better. I received fair correction, but never let myself feel like I had actually been forgiven when my parents told me so. I held onto useless guilt and shame and now I can work to let it go and heal. So, sorry about the long rant and any typos, but thanks Leah 💖 P.S. if you ever come to America, specifically Virginia, I would love to walk in a park with you and talk or draw 😊

Thank you Leah 👏🏻👏🏻🥺♥️ this video could not have come at a better time: for those who celebrate Chinese/Lunar New Year, the holidays can be a truly distressing time as parents and relatives politely compare the achievements of their offspring and many teens and young adults have to sit through hours of unsolicited advice and uncomfortable questions. Getting to sit down and chat with you after the hustle and bustle is such a relief, and your presence feels like a warm hug 🥰 thank you for the 紅包!

Leah you made me tear up. From May to August I was in a pretty bad state, writing my master's thesis, feeling like I'm a failure - not able to do solid academic work and also not able to enjoy summer as everyone around me. I remember clearly how I watched your Paris videos during this time and felt like you were going to something similiar. We had very similiar strategies, like forcing ourselves to sit a certain time period at the table to quantify productivity or to leave the apartement. A lot of force in general towards ourselves. I could see my own harshness in you and it made me feel a bit better that other people seem to struggle with similiar things as I. I have finished my degree a few months ago, travelled a bit on my own and regained a lot of calmness and softness. So hearing that you indeed felt the same self rigor as I and that you were able to leave this place makes me happy and reminds me that I'm on a good track. I'm trying to find a job right now and I promised myself to not stress too much about it and fall back into old habits. Whenever I'm going to feel like I'm not "doing enough" and "are a disapointment of adulthood" I will think about this video.

I think this is quite eye opening especially as someone still quite young in the academic scene the pressure is constantly there when those around you are thriving and even though you put effort in you aren’t. But I think self-development and not comparing yourself can just be something that allows you to ignore that realm of anxiety and fears ;especially at a young age this is so scary to me. I’m trying to get better at this, not dwell on my past triggers and trauma and your perspective and view has really helped me try and reflect on how bad my comparison to others has got you are just so mature and inspirational I hope you know how many people you help Leah <3 thank you so much, I’m glad you are doing better now xx
