As a cystic fibrosis patient myself, I got chills when that was mentioned. The universe has a way of helping us stumble across what we need if we let it.

Funny how on her death bed she's wearing her hair like she always liked it...in a pony tail.

“There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.” - David M. Eagleman

I heard that you die twice: once when they bury you in your grave; and the second time is the last time someone mentions your name

On October 9th, 2019, Nia was first thought of as an animated character who served as a means to get me into a existential crisis.

Today I learned that even in the year 2372 people will still be giving presentations, lol weirdos.

This actually lifted me out of my suicidal thoughts a little bit for the moment. Thank you.

"Huh this water tastes weird"

Someones last thoughts probably

When you no longer care what other people think, that’s freedom.

"Why do I hear boss music?"

-my last thought

Interesting story, I can see why it's written this way. I'm really the family "eccentric", unmarried and preoccupied with unusual pursuits. I came across my great grandmother's trunk, filled with photos, and traces of people long gone. I spent my spare time putting faces and stories together for forgotten people. Only to find out no one cared, no one was even slightly curious. Even so, I'm glad I did it. My own life feels enriched by diving into history.

"Don't worry, Officer! Nobody will remember it!"

dang that was depressing, this is exactly why i want to leave something on this world. i want to leave an imprint. i want to make something important. this really made me think, there are so many people i won't ever know or understand. so many lives that will go unnoticed...

[limejelo]

My last thought: this is literally the dumbest way to die

[khojertw]

this is so intriguing and sometimes I think about what my ancestors were like. I wonder what their pastimes were. I wonder if I resembled any of them. I wonder if they had some of the traits I do. Maybe I had an aunt in the 1700s who looked exactly like mom does now . I try to picture what I would’ve looked like in the times of Pharoah. Maybe I had an ancestor who was just like me. It’s crazy really . I don’t even know their names and it’s a bit scary that I too may or may not be subjected to the same fate of being another nameless hypothetical memory of my descendants

My last thought will probably be something along the lines of:
“I wonder what this button does”

“Oh shit I forgot to write that essay”

*_these editing skills are so unique. The drawings are simple yet, they vibrate and feel alive_*

holy shit, during the last section where the narrator said “during her last conversation”, my nintendo switch audio broke and became static, but i thought it was a choice done by the video. for the entire ending section it was all static, and it felt more... idk how to put it. real???
