HONEST VULNERABLE MAN worthy of LOVE

Our worth isn't defined by whether or not someone else loves, values or appreciates us - it's inherent. We are worthy because we are alive. We are worthy because within our heart lies an infinite capacity for compassion, kindness, and connection. We are worthy because in our vulnerability, we find our strength, and through our imperfections, we discover our humanity.
We are worthy because we are a human being in this massive, confusing, magical, surprising world. And that is reason enough to believe in something as silly – and absolutely certain – as love.
Filmed in New York City, USA.

You are a beautiful and wise person of great worth. Please continue to spread your wisdom. Voices like yours is what this world needs.

I’ve given up watching the news, and instead watch videos like this. Life looks so much better.

When I heard "the light hit the tree....oh my God in such a beautiful way and it lit up in orange," I immediately thought of the saying "We don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are." I was struck by the man's inner peace and joy allowing him to appreciate the surrounding beauty.

I live in Russia. And I am so grateful for what you do. I never stop saying thank you. I have a problem with money, but when I watch your stories, I always feel my soul. Like today. I have been crying all the way listening to this beautiful man. I am so grateful, that I am not alone. I wish all mothers like me, having three or more kids,and who give their kids all they can,were rich. In all aspects. I love you, people. This man show me my heart. ❤❤❤

"My body is my vehicle, decaying sweetly, but is not who I am ..." ❤ I can't tell how much I resonate with this guy and his perspective on life.
-
If only everyone could be this open and honest, what a wonderful world it would be...
-
❤ Honestly, I feel I could be friends with this man. He is genuine, honest, vulnerable, and wise. Wishing him all the love and luck in the world. 😊

Lovely, handsome man. I wear a pile of silver bangles on both arms. Never thought a man could wear bangles with such masculinity and simplicity. Beautiful. This man is so wise. He resonates with me.
-
Thank you Patrick Dougher for your message. I needed it this morning. I see you and appreciate you.
-
I'm so glad I watched this story this morning. I absolutely dig his vibe. I hope he finds the peace and love he's always sought.
-
The man I see …intelligent, well read, wise , alive, creative , present. I just turned 60yo myself and it’s confronting - we have all been through so much and have learnt so much. So many masks we wear. Good luck my friend

“When I’m alone in the woods those things don’t apply.” So beautifully put. Lovely gentleman.
-
These videos are like meditation to me. They make me feel better, happier and more hopeful ❤ Thank you for spreading this positive energy, we all need it so much! ❤️
-
I need to know this man. This is the kind of people I want around me. Deep, lived, real. I totally identified. When I am alone I am my true self. I am connected to my soul self and I am happy. People and the world can take that away.
-
What an utterly gorgeous human being. Mindblown. Heartblown.
-
This film with Patrick's speech should be shown as Breaking News on YouTube !🎉 ❤ Thank You 💚
-
One of my favourite so far ✨ what a great message, what a great spirit .. thank you so much for this
-
Another beautiful soul speaking truth in this world of ours. I pray he finds his one, being alone is not always fun and he has so much to share and teach to another as that person should offer also to him. Wonderful story and wonderful man.

This man is so genuine and his light shines so bright!
