Top Comments of this video!! :3
"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.

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!

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 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!

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. ❤️

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 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 🌸

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 😊

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!!

Its so easy to forget that I actually have the choice and the agency not to compare myself! I think I'm so used to doing that dance that it feels like it's out of my control but that's only because it is so familiar. I can take the step back, shift directions and then take a step in a different direction. Best of luck to us all!
