It's a horrible thing to have someone in your head longer than by your side.

[FishareFriendsNotFood]

The imagery of the movie theater lights still on and you still sitting there after everyone has left, insisting the movie is not over yet, is very beautiful and profound. I have felt that way.

"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go." -Jamie Anderson

[FishareFriendsNotFood]

It's not about 'getting over'. It's about learning and moving forward. We always carry them with us, we care, they care, life just keeps moving

Sisyphus never fails to rip my limb apart one by one as I scream in excrutiating pain and agony meanwhile my consciousness slowly fades away

[lostworld]

Why is the timing so perfect... I hate it but I love it 💀💀💀

[PspTomisi]

This past few months has been an eye opener for me, the one I love, the one i cherish still Left me, I lost alot of friends because of her, she often said they were bad influence on me, and she still left me, i still love her and that is what hurts the most. Love sometimes is unexplainable and cruel.

Make way, here comes the broken people, hope y'all have a good life

[mitthrawnuruodo]

What has helped me was introspection and time. After getting my heart broken I knew I needed time to grieve a life I wanted so badly but never will have. From there I’ve decided to create a new one. I’ve learned to be happy alone. I would love to find someone but I’m not desperate for love. No longer needy. I don’t need to fill the hole with someone anymore. Most importantly I’ve learned to love myself. To accept who I am and not need others to give me purpose or a life dependent on external factors. While she will always have a place in my heart I have moved on and am better than I was wanting and dreaming about her. I am whole.

we dated for 2 years, 5 years later i cant stop thinking about them. feels stupid

[erik]

For me, it's that feeling of wanting to move on, while also never wanting to get over them....because that would mean that my love for them wasn't eternal. It would mean that my love has faded, even though I never believed it could. It feels as though my life now simply has to be comprised merely of loneliness and sorrow, only for me not to feel invalidated in my love that I've so desperately tried to hold on to. It's dread, brought on by happiness.
I know feelings can be temporary, especially if they're not fostered continually and that it's a good thing to see that I'm not completely stuck.
Yet, a part of me forever wants to stay stuck. Never letting go of the greatest feeling I've ever felt and letting it become a memory.
But it's not like I'm actually still feeling it. It's not like it's still the present. It's not as though it hasn't already become a memory. A painful one.
It's just so hard not to let it hurt me anymore. I'm addicted, in a sense.
I love her. I always will, I know that.
I just hope someday that love will keep my memories a warm and happy place instead of making my current state of mind clouded and dismal.

I love when Sisyphus, just out of nowhere, altruistically but savagely mauls my ego and shows me that my selfishness is the cause of my severely self inflicted pain from longing AND THEN makes me realize that I am not alone in experiencing this longing.

[mehmetalikarasoy]

It feels so silly having unreciprocated feelings, utterly embarrassing and makes me feel shameful. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense, however time heals what sense can’t and the sky will still be blue no matter what

[catarinacorreia]

For me it's about being honest about what I really felt, aswell as the other person.
No lies like "They never loved me"... because they did. And they proved it throughout those years. No lies like "I never liked them that much, I knew it wouldn't work out"... because I did love her, and I was so lost in that love that I couldn't think of a life withouth her.
If I do that, I allow myself to work with reality, not a scenario created to protect my ego. Accepting that she loved me like no one ever did, and yet still, I lost her, is one million times more crushing than telling myself she was a monster who never cared.
But... accepting that allows me to uphold the biggest achievement of my life, and that is: That I loved... And I was loved.
That I can say, regardless of how caotic it all was in the end.
You won't be reading this, I know. But if you were, I would want to thank you for allowing me to feel the most beautiful things I have ever felt in my life.
I do not want you back. We can not be together again. I accept it.
But I have kept you in the back of my mind for years, and there you will stay, mixed with the pain of what you did, and the gratitude for what you gave me.

I love how it's okay to just say 'I don't know' and that there is no 'magic solution' or that it 'will just get better' . I love how Sisyphus doesn't make any promises to his viewers, just that life goes on and you learn how to deal. I hate the media's over romanticisation of suffering and making false promises of quick fixes and the light at the end of the tunnel.
Know that you are living now, not tomorrow, so it's better to live through the reality of pain and choose yourself than have false hope that eventually diminishes later in life.

It surprises me seeing all the comments remarking the timing of this video, I wanted to say he same.
Now I feel connected to all of you strangers, it feels good hahaha

[raaaalf]

it's weirdly heartwarming to see all the comments about this being this video being in "perfect timing", really shows how we're all not alone or special; i think in the end we're all just creatures of love and loss, learning how to live without the sun, trying to believe we'll one day find the moon.

iIt was my 25th birthday yesterday. I had some friends over and spent a good time with them, but after my friends left, I ended up cleaning all the dishes and watching your video alone at night.

Maybe this is the ultimate experience of adulthood: accepting that everything shall pass, like a suffocating mantra. Or perhaps we fall in love with people who don’t love us back because it is easier to endure pain than to pursue real intimacy and the idea of leaving behind fleeting happiness for a more mature and responsible joy.

Thank you for the video. Writing this after watching it felt like the most honest thing I could do now.
