An amazingly honest video. It really touches me to watch it. Thank you so much for making it and positing it. It makes a difference for me. I wish you all best of luck with your life. You are an amazing and wonderful person!
As I'm charging through your videos (I'm so anxious to get to the present and see how much you've grown!!), this video made me pause and reflect on how much we all have inside that needs to be said. Thank you so much for your bravery and your strength in making yourself vulnerable for us. Not only does it help you grow, but it helps us grow as well. You have an incredible gift for inspiration, and the world (and the web!) is better for your place in it.
I don't know how I found your channel, but I'm so glad I did. This was amazing, and I admire your strength and honesty. I wish you nothing but the best as you continue your journey though life. Many blessings and much respect.
I can only tell you that I am completely speechless, my mouth won't move and I can't really explain myself at this moment.
This as been a desperately needed, utterly unexpected gift because in every word you wrote I see a little more hope that I might one day be able to span the gap that you are already treading across. Peace be with you and my prayers.
You worry that you are not a good enough person? We are all good at our core. But YOU, from what I've heard you say on the videos I've watched, are active in helping others. One might say that you are more than good enough. I love and respect you very much.
I understand that you're just sharing that sometimes you worry about this and other things.
Ever tried "The Work" by Byron Katie? It involves questioning our stressful thoughts... I don't imagine it's for everyone...
you worry that you are not a good enough person? We are all good at our core - but then YOU, from what I've heard you say in some of your videos, are also very active with helping others. So, one might say, you're more than good enough. I love and respect you very much.
I wish we could all make ourselves heard like this, but it's so hard. I hope the world is your oyster today and most days. You're amazing just for being able to share all of these things. Thank you.
You know I have begun to wonder just how many of us transmen have gone through or are suffering from eating disorders. I too have an eating disorder. I am defintely beating it at the moment but I sure do know how horrible it is. Aydin, this is one of the best vids you have made. Very powerful.
This is a beautiful video. I have added it to my favorites. Thank you for making it. I have loved this song since I first heard it and your actions make a perfect match to the video.
I've been watching all of your videos from the start and I've held off from commenting because I haven't really thought of anything important enough to say... you say everything that should be said and more.
Then I got to this video and I has to say something. You are so inspirational. So honest... and I don't really know what else to say except thank you. I wish there were more people like you in the world.
I know I already told you, but this video is amazingly powerful. If we all held up sheets of paper with what we needed to say on them, it would definitely be a huge eye-opener for us all.
I understand where you're coming from. I had bulimia for years and it's difficult to not get back into it. I try to have standards where I'm a nice person but it's difficult with so many nasty greedy people around. I still haven't lost my faith by stooping down to nasty standards and still try to still be loving. Sometimes it feels as if you're the only one, then one day you get a surprise and realise there are other people the same.
2-U are my role model.A leader & hero turn to(((You))for advice comfort & words of wisdom.U are a strong((man))constantly true,challenge urself & u care about people.A heartfelt person makes others think & question themselves.U set the bar higher for anyone who has had it easy.U've made it this far,& one day u'll look down at the mount-n u've climbed with the wind in ur face & see how good it feels to be at the top.U will succeed b/c in the face of diversity u won't flinch to settle for 2nd best
Aydin- You are an inspiration. You put yourself out there, *are tough* emough to be vulnerable, and sincere enough to say that it scares you. You take risks just makes you even more of a real and accessible and respectful guy. Everyone knows your videos are thought provoking, poignant, real and encouraging.You showed another side of you that makes you even more interesting. That won't kill you will make you stronger.
I want to say something but I can't find the words. I have the same pains in my soul that you do. Thanks for saying them first, now maybe I can say mine.
Not as the man you've always been, but the beautiful human you seek inside. Thank you for giving me the cur rage for the first time to say, I struggle and let the words I've struggled with I'm TRYING to recover from bulimia for the first time has came from my mouth.
Your video is so powerful, the message, so beautiful, horrifying, and in lighting. Every we all walk out of our house and hide. You had the cur rage to stand up and tell people you aren't perfect, but you are trying to be the best person you can be. You fail you fall flat on your face, but how many of us admit that. I am a recovering bulimic. I say recovering, because everyday, it's a struggle. I fall. I hope this video as painful as everyone seen on your face helps you hold your head high
This video really relates well to similar things I've struggled with in my life. Thank you for posting this, and all of your videos they've really helped me gain strength to accept myself and look inside to find the strength to truly be myself.
You experience life in extremes...unable to comfort youself, but still trying so hard to comfort others...doing for others what you so need to be done for you...let someone hold you and comfort you...it's alright to be vulnerable...you are safe now...
(continuted)The best way to "overcome" adversities is to apply them in a positive way and you are. Helping others is ingrained in you. And yep, you must love yourself too. You are really a bright and powerful person. You survive, persist, insist and maintain integrity. I mean this from my heart. This is a dastardly and glorious struggle in which you must come out on top and you are.
I think your feelings are shared universally; People just manifest them in different ways. Most of us deeply want to matter and that you already do. I really enjoy and admire your honesty and I know if I were your neighbor that we'd be friends. I have my masters in the same area and have dealt with a few serious battles of my own.
i only know such a small piece of you but can only imagine what your friends must think. you seem like a wonderful human being that was placed on this earth to impact the lives of those around you. you matter, greatly. try and see yourself through the eyes of a stranger, you deserve to see yourself the way others do. real sweet video, aydin. your face in this video is priceless - it says a thousand words.
well said Aydin, I always enjoy your posts because they are thought provoking and inspiring...off topic, did you paint the picture that is behind you on the wall? did you recycle the pieces of paper?
I feel you brother! Stay strong, you've got a very large extended youtube family here and I'm sure you could come to anyone of us, at any time, with any problem big or small.
This is beautiful. Youb aren't alone and I hope things are doing better for you these days. *hug* stay strong and keep moving forwards hun xx
