Every post is just too relatable, a lot of us seem to have this huge problem creating content around our everyday lives, but watching your videos makes me realize things don’t have to be perfect. It’s about the story you tell and more. This is what hooked me into your videos in the first place.

"Done is better than perfect, and done feels better than hanging on for something for way too long." ouuuuff, I needed to hear this. Thanks Riza. I've got footage from my 25 day motorcycle ride across Italy that I've been sitting on for months because I want to make everything PERFECT and I'm worried about not making it good enough... Guess it's time I just dive in. If you guys ever wanna do anything related to motorcycles, or need bikes for a project or anything, in Toronto, hit me up!

so happy to see that your workspace has turned out so nicely!! esp w that shot where you were writing your "ideas" on the whiteboard, i felt so happy for you :') honestly i look forward to every video you put out, and like you said towards the end, your vlogs aren't the conventional ones that we all know and love, but you taking your own spin on it and making it uniquely lifeofriza is what makes it so alluring and wonderful and satisfying to watch! it's a whole other experience that you provide for us that normal vlogs just can't satisfy; it's like short films on relatable topics for the audience (me, entering my twenties) and i really appreciate it

this is such a beautiful video to watch, I loved identifying which shots you used from which videos haha! Struggling with perfectionism is one of the weirdest things ever, you want to make something really great but you're also not letting yourself create other amazing things. Another amazing video Riza- proud to say I have been here since the start and cannot wait to see what you do next !!

"if you are not enjoying it, then you might be taking things a little to seriously" This really stood out to me. Sometimes it really feels like we are forcing it, we end up stressing ourselves and this could lead to pausing for long durations. As you said in the beginning of the video "done is better than perfect".

”I found your channel and it really helped me out“ I started my own channel to share my stories, but at one point, it went dark because nobody was watching. Then my channel grew with gaming content, so I started making games for a while, but then it went dark again. That’s when I stumbled upon the ‘Life of Riza’ channel. I watched your clips over and over again until it sparked my motivation to restart my channel. So, I started vlogging again. I don’t care anymore if anyone sees it. I just want to document my current stories for my future self to look back on. So, thank you so much ‘Life of Riza’. Hopefully, someday, I’ll learn English to share my stories with the world even more. Thank you very much. ✌🏻🎬

Thanks so much for posting this. I have been trying to find my "style" in vlogging for a few years now, and I enjoyed listening to the lessons you've learned. I tend to try different "styles" of vlogging, but recently I have felt the need to go back to square one. I really like how dynamic and engaging your clips are and how it is interwoven with the talking part. Ultimately, I really resonate with visual storytelling as a creative outlet...especially the use of music to set a mood. Best of luck as you near your 1 year anniversary, and thanks again for sharing your stories with us. 💜

When I first came across your video "this might holding you back" I felt a huge vague of inspiration. Now I finally started my KZfaq channel and made that scary first move which is to just do it ! My favorite advice : "Experimentation is key".

This one reminded me of the art of documentation and why I fell in love with it in the first place. Over the past year, a few instances (and people) made me want to stay away from it, but when you said “if you're not having fun, you're taking it too seriously” that really resonated with me.
