what I learned from 300 days of vlogging (so far)

"done is better than perfect because perfect is never done" - someone

"if you're not having fun you're taking it too seriously" deeply hits

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.

Life of Riza is our gold standard on YouTube.

"Ironically, that is the first thing we turn off, and the journey is about getting back there". That hits so hard

4:07 Wait, another channel!!! I'm sooo excited 🥳

"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!

“Hi, I’m from Thailand. Your video storytelling is very inspiring for my own content creation. I especially love the green tones in your room in this video. Keep up the great work!”

"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".

Honestly speaking, I'm more than thankful because your vlogs are the most beautiful videos on YouTube and they always make my day and kinda make me feel like I should start working or studying ! Hehe keep going please ❤

What I like about these videos is that each one is reflective. It is not just a window into someone's daily life, but a window into someone's life lessons and experiences.

Really glad you didn't give up on creating today's films. I've learned a lot from you. Thank you and keep up the good work! ❤

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 <3 i can't wait to see where your journey will take you next, and i admire you a lot :) for a moment it felt like i was hearing a big sister talk to me, telling me abt what experiences she's had and what's she's learnt from them as she continues to go through life for the very first time. thank you kariza for sharing your videos with us in your corner of the internet, they're greatly appreciated and acknowledged and seen and heard. lots of love!!!

I am so in love and inspired by your words , and not everyone sounds as genuine as you do on YouTube! You truly touch us with your content but mostly by your calm words and calm aura❤ You are the green flag to anyone who is struggling or demotivated . Thank you for being here❤

I’ve been looking for something like your channel for a long time. With so much sensationalism on YouTube, it’s wonderful to hear a real truly soulful voice. Thank you. Definitely pressing the sub.

I’ve been a content creator for 13 years this year and your style, work ethic and passion makes me so proud and excited to continue creating. Thanks for every video. ❤

I love your channel and your energy. You are so calm and composed in all of your videos, which makes me feel calm too. Whenever I need to quiet my thoughts, I find solace in watching any of your videos. Love your work!

Love the last part you said about taking things too seriously. You're a huge inspiration, Riza!

So true: done is better than perfect. Perseverance comes with great lessons. ❤

Woah!! The cinematography in this video nothing short of a high production movie almost. So brilliant👌.
