If you are thinking of love as a distraction maybe that isn't love, but longing or boredom? Are you truly loving when you are only focusing on how you are being satisfied, how you are receiving a feeling of comfort? If it is true love then you have nothing to lose, really, when you are giving love for the sake of just being open-minded and loving people, then you don't lose anything, and IF ANYTHING that person will come to you. They will be drawn to you by the love you so freely give to the people around you. This doesn't mean you go and hook up with everyone because that is not love. It just means being kind and not harboring negative thoughts towards anyone around you.

Falling in love is the easy part. Difficulty arises when you are trying to maintain a relationship long term even more if it’s a long distance relationship. I don’t see my partner as just my boyfriend/romantic partner. He is also my best friend. Strong Friendship with your romantic partner is very important which people don’t realise.

This is a such a beautiful intro. It’s crazy how I’m actively talking about being alone with my friends right now. I’m an artist and content creator actively on my healing journey so I really appreciate the self love vibes here. I just made a video talking about intimacy and doing things to love myself and it’s been amazing seeing other content to further assist me on my healing journey so thanks for this! 💙

I'm a senior in high school about to go to college and this video really changed my mind about love. I've neglected love in the past, because I would rather work on myself, but because I've never been in a serious relationship before I'm starting to think that I should experience it just so that I can grow further. Maybe that relationship would teach me how to love others more efficiently, because right now I tend to neglect it.

i always thought love was what it was like in the movies i watched and books i’ve read. however, once i actually started dating, i realized that i couldn’t tell the difference between love and fear. i was motivated by the fear of losing the person or loving on conditional terms. if i do date again, i want it to be so that i’m aware of myself of my motives and aware of where the other person is at. i struggle trusting myself. i won’t date again until it’s to love someone for good reason.

A distraction from life can be a distraction from the greatest opportunities, this was beautiful ❤

This video really came at a great time for me, and like- One part of it at around 3:30 where you say "a love where you can fall head-first because you don't know what it's like to crash" is really just so true. That first crush/heartbreak really defined my expectations for well, everything? University is a crazy experience, love is crazier, and your videos always manage to make things easier.

I absolutely admire how carefully you make your videos and how much thought you put into both what you're saying as well as blending it so seamlessly into a vlog of your life. There's so many different view points about love and lately I've been reading so many books about it (currently: The Art of Loving) and it's so fascinating and insightful to know that everyone has different experiences, yet we can all understand what it feels like to crave love, be loved, or give love-in any facet. Your take on love as a college student was SO amazing though and made me think a lot about what it means to grow as a person and whether/how it can be done both when you're single versus a relationship. Always love your videos ❤❤

this video came at a great time! what happened to me recently is i realized i still like a guy i liked 2 yrs ago, but we ended up going to different high schools, and i had been thinking that i would really want to be with him, but this helped me realize i shouldn't rush things or push things because it's not truly good for you if you push a relationship. i also realized a big part of why i really wanted to be with him was for my own validation and that is not healthy for me! thank you for this video, it was amazing as always!

needed this vid today 🫂 love u and thank u for being yourself always!

I relate so deeply to your explanation of what it's like to be single after being in love for the first time. When I got to college, I met my first love and I was never the same after that. I tried to find love in every hookup and situationship I had after that but no one made me feel the same way. Over time I've realized that I'd rather just be alone than pine after a feeling that should just come naturally when you meet the right person. Thank you for this video and putting my thoughts into words.

You are so wise, Im not even gonna add "for your age". Im 34, having similar insights to what you shared. I recently came out of a long distance relationship, that forced me to keep ALL of my relationships, not just isolating into that one as I usually do, and its been a valuable experience to see how important it is for me to nurture all my relationships to be able to nurture myself. Ive been realising Im very much an introvert with limited energy for socialising, and in a very close relationship I tend to get that need fulfilled by a partner. But its easy to lose myself If I dont spread my energy onto all aspects of my life equally... Beautiful! ❤

Could you do a video on how to bound deeper with family, friends... after having been in a relationship for several years and neglected these landmarks ? I find it so hard even one year post break-up. Loved your pov on the topic, keep going ! ♡

i love your videos in this style it’s so poetic and beautiful listening to your thoughts

i've been loving these videos of yours 💗. it feels like i finally have a moment of solitude and reflection in the constant bombardment of internet stimulus

YESSS I love your videos so much! I've been waiting for a new one, they are so study motivating to me.

This was such a beautiful video! The cinematography, narration, being super genuine…loved it. Thank you!!

this video was better therapy than my therapist. i love your videos so much!

This video is just amazing you don’t know how much this helped me in this moment to change perspective❤

I always impart so much knowledge when i watch your videos even its just for sheer entertainment. Thank for being invariably real with us, love you 💗

I too have fallen out of my first heartbreak and it's been terrible. I've tried so desperately to fill that void just to be drowned into more voids. And dating in college has just made everything even worse, you're so right about not letting romantic love come in between. It messed up everything, I'd rather focus on putting my love elsewhere. It's a heavy feeling though, I just want to be loved :( maybe someday when the time is right sigh

I'm a quiet subscriber but I just need to tell you how much I love your videos, you're such a pro at capturing scenery and cinematic shots as well as storytelling. You're my comfort youtuber and I can't wait to see your next videos❤❤ Love from a fellow youtuber from Germany. Also I feel so represented through your looks, I have a similar body type and nose so love that

On this Earth Day I celebrate all that mother nature gives and what I can do in return.💚💚💚 You have profound wisdom, you dig DEEP and KEEP IT REAL, QUALITY traits someone hopefully appreciates and embraces in you. You're BLESSED inside and out, SHINE ON💐☀

I felt you and I were the same person as soon as you said, "Damon and Elena were finally together". That was literally the best line! Loved this.

I love this video! It’s very relatable and your voice is very soothing. Also major points for the keshi instrumental

I was going thorough something similar to this and as a 20 year old, I needed to hear what love actually offers in 2023.

Ur videos are so therapeutic and underrated

Love this! I think for me my relationship has taught me to grow in ways I wouldn't have without him

This was truly inspiring. Thank you, you are amazing!

i love the way you tell your story in your videos❤ big fan

i love this so much

thank you for this masterpiece

My perception of love kind of resonates with yours. I appreciate and love you for this

this video was so refreshing - loved it

Omg this is so relatable. Great video!

You’re a great editor and cinematographer, some of these shots are really beautiful. Love the video! Talking points were interesting too dw lol

this is beautiful

Such a wonderful take. Great stuff Lindsiann 😊

Hey there; Good Morning! Glad to see you posting again. I know it must be heavy on your schedule, but it’s still nice to see you back! And wow, you’ve certainly chosen an interesting subject (smile). Without saying, love is many things, and it can also be expressed in a number of superlative ways untold. Vaguely I do recall a random study (that said) most women will experience their first kiss at around age 15 and will find their soulmate at around age 27. But what occurs between those two unique milestones (in what was summarily described as being this sort of blitheful ‘experimental’ dating phase) can vary and be quite different individually. So yes, love can be fragile indeed, but with balance and patience, I truly predict and believe your heart’s wishes will be happily fulfilled. I could go on (lol) but I'll leave it there. As always, thanks much for sharing, Please remain safest😎

thats so beautifullll 🥰😭

A beautiful thought Loving it every piece of your vlog 🥰🧡

i needed this videooooo

ugh i love ur videos!

Loving the Vlog editing/style 😃

Thanks for posting this cus I’m going thru it in college, I think I have to retake classes. I started talking to someone and it is easier to distract yourself with a relationship 😢

In Nigeria, we say love na scam or love is a scam because teenagers in my country are at that stage where relationships are strongly attached to the sex part, and now as we grow up we believe as well that there isn't love just the other side of the relationship. But to me, there is love, not just between lovers but a love of nature or passions or between friends and family. That is what these Nigerians don't know, Love is in different forms, some are open for us to see while some, the pure forms of love are hidden under wraps but are everywhere within and around us.

You're such my Favorit youtuber❤

This was so good!!!!

honestly, love is a very sensitive and distant topic to me. As a 18 year old queer person, who’s never had the opportunity or option to fall in love but seeing all my straight friends have their “first teenage love”, makes me feel absolutely lonely. I know that my time for love is going to come & that I’m still a young person, however I still feel like I’ve missed out on an experience everyone in my social surrounding has already had

I really needed this I have a similar situation and I needed someone to put it the way you did

u had no business making me emotional 🥹💌

I have been waiting for you to post😆😆😆

everyone says they wouldnt engage in a situationship until they do. you dont go into one expecting it to be one, you just get stuck in it

I loved this

Loved it!!!

ok lets start from the beginig this is what exactly i felt about love btt actually neer understood it...this vudeo gave me the true picturre that i was ignoring all these months.......maybe i dont have to worry about finding the one and just remember if things are meant to be , it will be

thank you for talking about this : )

Thank you for this video! I agree with a lot that you said and also got some new perspectives

damnn!! I definitely enjoyed watching this :)

i hardcore relate lmao never been one for situationships bc i am such a hopeless romantic even tho im outta high school now i’m still upset that things didn’t last for at least 3 decades with my high school sweetheart ;)

This is so thoughtful! I appreciate it so much because I'm on my way to college. And your thoughts about love really made me question about my own notions about love!

Thank you for this!

I enjoy your videos!!!

I had 2 girlfriends in college. I don't regret either of them. I learned a lot from them and they were deeply enriching experiences. If anything, now I know more of what I want in a good relationship and how to be a better boyfriend.

So relatable. I still believe in my fairytale happily ever after. Everything you said I feel. But I still want my romcom greatest love story. Probably what gets me hurt to begin lol.

You can experience true love once again but, you need to find a maturing mind that is lonely. You catch them when they’re working hard and at the lowest romantic wise. The time spent together will feel like true love because the “honey moon” phase has activated where he will take care of you and spending time with him is all he needs to be happy 😊

I love situationships lmao. The one I have with a guy rn is so deep and meaningful for both of us. We are exclusive and communicate A LOT. For us its just important that the other person is there and we dont care about what other people might call us or what frame we should give this whole thing. I just wanna say with this: situationships arent always bad. Sometimes they are the right thing at the right time and they can teach you a lot and you can also have a deep and meaningful connection with the person eventhough its not a relationship

Your always look cute, even when you’re not trying to ❤ you just are 🥰🥰🥰

You should consider starting a podcast 😭 your voice is amazing 💆🏽‍♀️

resonates with me awwww ❤❤❤

I think that falling in love can be the most lovely thing that can happen in your life but also the worst. But I don’t care for once I want to believe that in the world there’s a soulmate I mean in world there’re so many people you don’t know every single of them but I love to think that I belong to someone and that someone belongs to me

The references😘🤩

In my opinion, you hit the mark with this one. I agree with everything that was said. Well done! Extra note: the Claude Debussy hit! 😎

This is so good🥺🤍

i don’t know what love is. sometimes i’m so set on marrying this boy i’m dating i tell myself this is it i’ve found my man my soulmate. i warn myself don’t do anything stupid don’t lose him. i convince myself that he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. but once we get into an argument (very very rare but brutal), i start to question. many times i want to break up with him but find that he’s all i have…. i’m in senior year of high school but i live alone in the city, my dad lives in another city and my mom moved to a different continent last year. i lost all my friends once i started dating my boyfriend because he was my good friend’s ex boyfriend from five years ago…. but it’s been five years and this ‘friend’ actually helped some boys sexually harass me at a party… so i don’t know how i’m the monster here… but basically she made the entire school to hate me and spread rumors abt me being a bad friend and now i have no friends and no family. all i have is him. so completely agree with what you said about the importance of having a support system that stems beyond one person because it’s been so hard. and i’m the type to be afraid that ppl think i’m negative because i tend to have a lot of negative thoughts, so i take everything in myself. i scroll on my contacts list on my phone at night when i’m completely torn down and broken and i find no one to call. and recently, i tore my ACL in a soccer tournament and im injured, need surgery, with no family, no friends, just my boyfriend. sometimes im confused as to whether i love him endlessly or whether i’m just so attached that im overrun by the fear of losing him because he’s all i have….

Wishing you a wonderful day as well

Love topic is something i could talk for hours...

Love thy self & find peace 🦁 Relationships are overrated & Humans are only disappointing ✌️💖🌍

LMAO me watching this and seeing Phillips hall 👀I was like “omg I go there” 😅

Music : drunk by keshi

Amazing video!! To me, a partner cant fufill all of your needs. You NEED friends while in a relationship. You are your own person, and love is great, but merging into someone to the point of not needing friends to me personally is very unhealthy.

❤❤

From Shakespeare to Taylor Swift, my girl is being classified with the greats lol

❤

i am 18 and never experienced love. i feel like people can't love me for who i am only for what i do or give them.

hey! with what are you filming your videos ? :)

Beautiful video 🥹🫶

Yeah love doesn't have to be romantic...HOLY SHIT 45 pound RDLS...you know I never thought about it that way before. I guess I used to want a romantic relationship because it seemed like an easy fix to life's problems. I say I've given up on love but It's only in the romantic way. I still think that having a meaningful friendship is worth my time. Nice video, also like enjoying the fitness side of introspection on KZfaq. Makes me feel less alone as an existential young person who also happens to workout.

you should read "all about love" by bell hooks!! she sees love as an ACTION not a feeling as you referred to. i think you are referring to feelings of lust and cathexis (emotional ego attachment) that a new romantic relationship brings, rather than love.

I'm 24, in grad school and haven't had my first kiss yet because I'm so picky and avoid situationships like the plague. If I know I'm not gonna fall in love with you, I won't even try 😂

yall she didn't cut it out 😔✌

"The dopamine you get from love" Oh man surely this girl in her 20s knows what she's talking about.

i hear keshi

Honestly I am kinda scared. I hopefully got into college from autumn, but my bf is one year younger than me. That means he will be still in school next year. I am scared, because I dont know how we will manage to meet each other, but also studying etc...

I got distracted by your friend falling asleep and didn’t hear a single thing besides “love is fleeting”

Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:20

be my friend omg

I think baby girl if you love yourself other people will definitely see that

Dude I’m going to be absolutely real, you’re 20. It’s not that serious and make your mistakes but don’t hurt people that’s the rule.

hey random thing to say but you are going past your range of motion in the RDLs! try not to carry the weight to as low of a point. really enjoyed the video though. thank you.
