"Once you've met someone, you never really forget them..."

[fastestsloth]

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day :)" -Despair

A comment from the 40mil video that really stuck with me.

"The Name of Life"; This song expresses every possible emotion, from apathy to sadness, from joy to nostalgia. It's not melancholic, but not empty, sad but not depressing, hopeful but not cheery. It's perfect, a combination of rhythm and pitch, forming a beautiful melody that flows through everything and everyone. This is the name of life-- the music, the emotion, the soft hum, the beauty within.

Spirited away really reminds me of when i was a kid and I'd go to the bath house with my mom. The hot spring waters and the cool showers were really nice. The food too. They had saunas, libraries, and a lotta other cool stuff. Just watching this movie really reminds me of those days when i was just a kid reading the books in the library of the bath house and eating lots of food after a nice warm bath. That place was my favorite place to go.

This whole movie, from the colors, the music, the voice acting, the setting, it all gives me such a strong sense of nostalgia to those days i had with my mom. I wish i could go back in time and re-live those moments. I can't express enough how much this movie means to me and how much emotion and feeling it gives me. The feeling i get from watching this movie is the same feeling that i get when i'm in that bath house place reading, eating, and being carefree. Now my parents are getting older, and i hate the fact that they're someday not gonna be here anymore to go to that special place with me.

i wish i could go back to that place, but we're in lockdown, and that bath house moved places and changed their design to something more modern. When i went there i felt like the magic of that bath house just disappeared. The coziness of the clay walls, the warmth of the wooden floorboards, and the welcoming feeling of the mosaic stone with all the leaves and bamboo stuff in the bath were all lost. instead replaced by sleek minimal designs. But maybe someday i'll find that place again. Or a place that holds that same calming magic from my child hood bath house place., ,

thanks to whoever read this, have a nice day and stay safe, wherever you are.

i'm not even sad, i just wanna cry.

[darkstar]

Chihiro and Haku will meet again, she will remember everything and then they will be together forever. No one can convince me otherwise.

[Beomtology]

My sister said they played this at my grandmas funeral and she said this is what made her burst out crying.Spirited away will always be a close movie to me.I watched when it came out and i always feel like im watching it for the first time when i watch it again.The art is so beautiful and it makes me less sad.Its just so nostalgic.

[eruiroro]

When I listen to this, there is an unexplainable pain in my heart. As if I'm yearning for this song and yet I can't seem to understand. I be lowkey crying for no reason while listening to this song.

[kevinlewis]

I’d like to be reincarnated as anything in a Ghibli movie.

This commented will never be forgotten: "The doctor told me today that I can't live more than three months. Yeah... I knew it. I'm still a teenager but my age will turn 19 into 20 on 4 months later. I wish if I could live until my birthday, my life would be better and I will be proud of my life. This song and my disease remind me of beauty of life. I hope the people who are reading this comment, please live your life not to regret. You have a lot of potentials in your life unlike me. Anyway, see you on 4 months later" - JP Biitaso, please. no one forgets this guy

[nofero]

It's a farewell, didn't you guys realize it. The times Chihiro left, that's the times she forget everything behind. Maybe some day she will remember Haku, but still they will never meet again. That's the point, to move on cause life goes on. That's what make this movie a masterpiece, Miyazaki already planning it. Ah, my poor little heart.

Joe Hisaishi is a true legend! Don't think that he is appreciated nearly enough. <3

[keiv]

It’s sad, letting go. The love we used to share was so beautiful. It’s tragic. We were each others first loves. I think one day, we’ll find true love.

"when remembering a precious person in that life, especially when we have to be separated, it makes us remember memories that make us sad until the end of life"

[GuitarHeartno]

This was my fiance's favorite movie and song. I spent 5 years learning to play the piano and mastering this piece. Last week I finally got to play it at our wedding and brought her to tears.

This music had gooten me through alot in my life; Depression, stress, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness or helplessnes. Everytime i hear it, I remember all the things that are worth fighting for, even if those things are me myself. Everytime i listen to it i remember the beauty of life in the chirps of the birds outside, in the bell sounds of some kid's bicycle, in the air all around, in the empty notebook which i can fill with whatever I want, in everything surrounding me, and most importantly, in the person in the mirror.

[graceyan]

Sometimes music listens to you better than people do

[popsocket]

I don't care if I became a piece if grass in Ghibli movies in the afterlife aslong as I'm there
