wow! great piece! thank you for this ✨❤️

I can literally see her doing a tedtalk some day

You're always teaching me how to slow down. "Just because something is simple, doesnt mean its lesser" Thank you Riza, for another beautiful piece

"Small but certain hapiness..." On this day when my heart feels just a little heavier, I'll remember that.

I think something I've learned about "once I get the work done then I can relax" is that the work never stops.

We forget that the majority of our lives is spent repeating the same behaviours. Whether it's the warming of the kettle, the drive to work, the morning and evening routines. We get locked in and we forget the moment, forgetting that all we have is now. We get distracted, and the moment(s) slip out of our hands. Short films like this is what we need to remind us that life never waits, that every moment can be special, that life IS special. Alan Watts would be proud. Thanks for sharing, Riza. All the best.

Sometimes small think can make happiness. I remembered when i slow down my ego and enjoy about small thing like hearing song or reading funny novel called Nageki no Burei, he always get danger situation which can make he die, but he alive and and he say that "bad" situations are good story in the future. "Looking back, many things have happened since became a Hunter. When I first became a Hunter, I felt like I wasn't going to live through the hellish series of irregularities, and after I became a Clan Master, I had a lot of bad experiences, but now I can think of them as good memories." Cry Andrich

Your videos are seriously helping me get out of depression and suicidal thoughts. Thank you so much for existing and making our lives better. Keep going! I love you. ❤❤❤

Dear Riza, I wasn't having the best day and happened to stumble across your video by chance. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. From the way it is shot to the message it conveys. thank you for bringing this into the world.

I completely agree with what you said. I recently came to the realization that it's not just about what you get, but how you enjoy the process. I am amazed by your storytelling. :)

I used to live in that neighborhood! You captured that park so beautifully... it brought back memories of my own... things have changed there so much now. Love your content!

This all comes back to the philosophy of living in the present moment. Because only then you get to appreciate your life as it is ❤✨

The writing, music, and cinematography are all beautiful from thew few videos I've seen on your channel so far. Keep up the great work, love the narratives you share with the world.

I see videos and vlogs where people show how productive their day was or how fun their life is..which always made me feel like I am missing out on a lot.. but seeing your videos just make me feel so peaceful and happy and it’s the little things that matter.. it’s appreciating the daily simple life. Thank you for reminding it to me❤

you are by far one of my favorite storytellers on this platform. loved the video!

في الواقع ان مفتونة بطريقة التصوير والزوايا واللقطات المتقطعة ،القرب والبعد ،الوضح والتشتت ،الموسيقى التي تناسب الفديو حرفيا بالإضافة للون الذي يضفي لمسة هادئة ومريحة على العين واو لقد احسنتي العمل فعلاً. اتطلع لأن اصل لمستواك في التصوير وانتاج هذه الفيديوهات الرائعة✨💜

Unless there’s a solar flare in the near future these videos will be here for you and your kids and that my friend. Is a beautiful thing. This is why I started a vlog once I got deported and you were a big inspiration

I’m so grateful to have found this channel. I’ve been at such a crossroads in my life and deciding what I want to do next and your videos have out so much into perspective for me and even inspired me to do my own thing. So from the bottom of my heart, Thank you for what you do

Beautiful video ❤ Wow ! So well edited ! And the message is great, happiness is often found in little things in life. However often people can't see them. And to me it goes back to this core belief that we're worthy of love and belonging if we work super hard, achieve, etc. This hustle culture only adds to the mix. I think if we truly want to understand ourselves we have to learn where we learned all of this (usually it's our childhood). Where did we learn this "I am not enough" or that love is conditional. We really don't need a lot to be happy. But what we need is to really believe it and unlearn the toxic programming we've been running. We're worthy of love and belonging from the moment we're born. We're enough as we are. We don't need to chase happiness. We just have to realise that it's here, available right now.

Can you make a video explaining how to do your cinematography? I love your style and I’ve always wanted to learn how to do that! ❤

Another masterpiece. Thank you for this, Riza!

Needed this more than I even knew

I really love the way you make these life lessons more cinametic and the whole video is going like a motivational thing. Keep moving forward, We need a lot from you like this.

I'm glad that I found your channel at a very strange moment in my life, for almost everything you posted I feel like I can relate ^^ thank uu

I just can't stop watching your videos!!! Amazing quality!!! Such a talent person!!!! Please, never cease your channel!!!

Even if it’s just a short period of time, your videos will grant me an small certain happiness.

I totally would not mind watching your videos on a big screen after a long tiring day. Your videos are THERAPEUTIC ❤

This video really touched me and I wanted to cry 😭

This channel spreads happiness already!

Your every single video makes me feel alive ❤ You are my motivation for my filmmaking & storytelling

Always so beautifully shot ❤️

It's feels like heaven when we can enjoy every small things is our life. Like in your video, seems happy to enjoy the slow living. One of my goal now is can do the slow living, so that I can enjoy all the small things in my life, and just be grateful of everything ✨ Thank you the inspiring video 💕

love this so much!!!

This is a masterpiece. Needed to hear this.

Your videos give me the same vibe as bestdressed Ashley. Completely different personality but talent wise in terms of cinematography, I love you both. Can't wait to see your journey here ❤

Needed this ~ great reminders.

Another great video Riza, liked and recently subscribed. You are young, but very wise and I am really appreciating your small and simple truths (at 55 years old!) :-)

I didn't even know I needed this 😇🥰

I'd say this now, this was my book and cup of tea. thank you :D

The best part about you is that u are quite brave .. u were brave enough to give up on your job to follow your dreams and passion...for all those who have not come across such a situation will never know what it actually feels like...it is tough, I know about the contrasting thoughts and feelings that we go through ...I am still going through that phase of my life where I wanna give up on what I am doing now and follow my passion...but unfortunately I am not that brave, the thought of going against my parents and leaving the highly secured life and job opportunity and step into a life of insecurities is just too much for me.... I dont know if I ever will be able to step up for myself

You're a rare gem Riza. Cheers Matt from Australia

Girl this was so pleasing and satisfying to watch. You need to upload more videos,love your aesthetics,your voice. Ah and you are so pretty ❤️

"just because something is simple doesn't mean it's lesser"

You, young lady, are a fabulously talented being. Congratulations, queen. 💚

Love that your videos got recommended to me! Do you think you could make a video on the books you read? Lots of love

This is refreshing ❤❤

Her voice 😫🥺

I love your videos ❤

Thank you

Came here through your comment. You have a beautiful channel, Riza!

I LOVE THIS

The little puddle shot....crazyyy how did you achieve that?

Most underrated youtuber!!!

this is such a cute video omg I'm gonna cry 🥺🥺

Love that puddle shot!

Ok… why are just pooping up on my feed!? Amazing content !!!!!!!!!!!

This video is beautiful, but I can definitely see your growth as a filmmaker, Riza. For example, the angles of some of your shots, you allowing yourself to speak directly to us, facing the camera, and your lighting… These are all improvements, though your videos were great to begin with.

Seus vídeos é meu mais apaixonante vício ❤

It's amazing watching you,...

you should make a youtube course, I would buy it, going into your filming , the layers for colours, etc. It would be really helpful, song / sound choices, your method for scripting.

Beautiful !! :)

Please lower the music volume in the bg so that we can hear your insightful thoughts clearly. Oftentimes the music is too loud. Just a small tip. Love your videos though. ❤

Therapeutic 😌

I really want that background music used from timestamp 1:35

I m 5,000 th like, I have ascended

Watching your videos bring a certain calmness in my life. Thank you Kariza for that. 🏕️

i love you

Good

"There's a western mentality of when i get there, i'll be happy. When i finish all that work, i can relax. But the philosophy of small but certain happiness is about having that small break from our stress, so we can have a bit more balance to our days." I feel like that mentality is a misconception. When you get where? Done with highschool so you can relax and then be forced to go to a minimum wage job to live check by check to afford tuition for college? And then after you have enough for college, you're back to continuous expectations and ethical standards. Constantly being judged on your work and how well you studied and planned for it. And then after College, you get to relax again ? No. You have to sign up for a higher paying job and continue to follow suite with society's standards of the "American Dream" as they say. After you've accumulated enough vacation days from your high paying job, you have about a week. Maybe less. What are you gonna do with yourself with all the money you've accumulated from all the stress society threw at you? Go to different restaurants when you're hungry, probably a spa for a massage, and then go to the movie theaters near your area cause you can't travel too far with your money you only have about a week. Don't wanna add anymore stress of not being able to make it back. But you have a point. When you have no control over how society is ran and never win the lottery to become a millionaire, you need to have a certain balance in your life. The stress from education and working, and the breaks they give you in between to relax. The small breaks are impactful because you've been overworking yourself constantly. But can you really call it an even balance ?

Your videos are great, but I wish the background music was less loud. It's distracting and makes it difficult to hear what was said 😢

Can anyone please tell me 3:13 the name of music?

Hey! Are you a latter Day saint? (I see the "Zion nacional park")

😍😍😍😍💋💋
