etacanis and I thought to myself, why don't I do that? I need a place to collectively put all the things in life that pull me out of the hole I sometimes fall into. Videos, songs, pictures, moments, anything that does it.I don't know if I'll ever get to 100, or how often I will post one, but this marks the start of my 100 Things that Make Me Remember How Awesome Life is. Awesome name, right? So let's start.
This video, I can't even begin to describe what this video is to me.I came across it when I was watching a Toby Turner video that parodied the first of Matt Harding's videos. The one I'm linking is second. I love the first as well, but the second is special. The second doesn't have Matt alone, it has him with people from all over the world.
Whenever I'm depressed, angry, tired, or just need a pick up, I watch this video. This video still makes me tear up at times. I smile everytime all the people run out, and it doesn't fade watching it. That hasn't changed from my first time watching it.
I can't feel alone watching this video. I can't. I may not know any of those people, but it makes me remember that there are some amazing people out there in the world that I may just meet one day, but I wouldn't have that chance if I stayed hidden away.
I feel such a connection to humanity in general when I watch this video. Sure, there are some asshats out there in the world, don't get me wrong, but there are so many awesome people too. Regardless of past, race, nationality, sex, etc we're all human beings, and we're all just trying to live. We're all on the same big rock together.
There are so many beautiful places in the world, and I will see them. I will volunteer overseas. I just have to watch this video when I'm discouraged and it reignites that fire.
This is my life-goal. I want to travel around the world. I want to dance, I want to live, and I want to help. The world is out there waiting for me, no matter how much I used to think there was nothing worthwhile here for me. There is more than I could've ever imagined, and I will get there.
There is joy in just living. It can be found in something as simple as dancing, as smiling.

I'm friending you, because I NEED things like this video - which is the first time I've seen this one; I saw the first and chuckled a bit, but this one made me laugh and cry. And made my day look a little less hopeless. Thanks again.
