This is how it feels to not know if you’re getting better or worse and you’re stuck between wanting to keep fighting or just let go

[merlindogs]

I’m lying down next to a girl that I think I’m falling in love with. She’s asleep and I’m listening on my headphones. Life is good and also weird and also confusing and I’m also unsure. What a trip

This is how it feels when a good day ends and you know you will remember this day often in the future.

My mom has cancer. Since everyone is sharing. I’m 22. About to open my first office and have my first employee. Just recovered from a seizure. I’m not stopping. I’ll make my mom proud. I wish you the very fucking best.

Currently recovering from two emergency brain surgery's. Sitting in my garden with a coffee on a beautiful sunny morning, sun on my face, breeze gentle blowing the trees, birds chirping and singing, the distant sound of cars going by all add more beauty to this track. Happy to still be here 🙏🏻

This is not just music. It’s like a blank canvas, upon which we can paint our emotions, thoughts and stories.

My friend lost his battle against cancer this morning. He was the most amazing person i have ever met. I'm currently just not even sure what to do with my life, he has brought so much joy into my world. And now he's gone.

Rest in peace, Matthew, you will be immensely missed.

YouTube comments are so beautiful when you think about it. Especially on videos like this. Here we are, all of us strangers, sitting together with this gentle song as we leave little pieces of ourselves for others to discover. Here I am part of something much bigger than myself. Here I see others out from under the guise of an introduction or a first impression. We can simply leave things of ours such as our thoughts, our wisdom, or stories for anyone else at all who might appreciate and just now I find that so beautiful. Thank you for reading this little piece of me.

Just discovered this gem today, October 28, 2023.

I'm at a point of my life where I am still unsure about what next steps I should take. Hearing this, atleast for a couple of minutes was pure bliss. I guess I needed the break. Hopefully in the next time I check into this song, I have life figured out- or maybe at least have a sense of direction. Best regards to you future self!

She’s my first thought in the morning when I open my eyes, and my last thought when I close them. I hope one day our paths converge again, for good this time. Forever and always.

To all of you lovely people, Aphex Twin has officially released this on streaming platforms. What a time to be alive.

Today I was found not guilty for a crime I didn't commit, it's been a brutal 6 months and this song came in my feed. With that and reading the comments, it made me tear up and value my life more

[zatchg]

I’m 41. Been married for 15 years, have two daughters, own a home, decent paying job. And it’s all happened in the blink of an eye. Seems like just yesterday I was a jackass 23 year old without a responsibility in the world. This song sums up how I feel when I look back at everything, how it’s all unfolded, and how it all had to happen (even the bad stuff) the way it did for me to have the life I do today. Life’s a trip, what might seem like something small today is leading you down your path to where you’ll be, and you can’t even realize it (yet). If you’re young and reading this, live it up and enjoy it, you’re in “the good old days”. You never know where today’s decision or minor detail is taking you. And you’re gonna be 41 too before you know it.

Last October I left France for England, after 2 years of hard work and saving money I finally afforded me a music production school based in Manchester.
On 17th October, after saying goodbye to my dad I jumped in my car, and started a very long journey to England.
On 20 th October I finally arrived in Manchester. After few days of room research, finally found a place to stay.
a lovely room in the suburbs of Manchester (Salford/ walkden).
There was a lake next to my place that I used to walk almost every day even though it was raining and cold lol.
There was this bunch at the lake where I used to sat and listening to this track with a good view on the lake. Damn it felt so good.
Then I discovered that pub 5 min walking from my home, a pub full of very good lads, they all accepted me. Had very great times there
My class was perfect, good student, good teacher.
My times there was Epic.
On Monday morning 12th December I made a song, I posted it on SoundCloud then send it to my dad, he responded me " son you getting better and better "
On Monday evening, my step mom send me a text saying " your dad was admitted to the emergency cause he was feeling very bad and kept puking. The next day doctor found a pancreatitis to my dad. My step mom went to see him at hospital she told me he's very tired.
On Wednesday 14th I woke up at 9am check my phone, I had a text from my step mom saying that he still tired but he's doing fine he's on his way to recovering
Here's come 12pm I got a phone call from my step mom saying " your dad passed away ".
I was there alone in my room sitting on my bed, couldn't realised what was going on. I bought myself a ticket flight the next day to go back to France, I had to quit my school and everything I started in Manchester.
7 months later I'm here in his house taking care of his dogs, and still listening to this music, watching stars in the sky at the same times and thinking about him.
He was a very good man, always here for me. I can say I'm very proud to be his son !
All this made me realized that life is too short, and you have to enjoy every moment you spending on this planet.
Thank you England for this very good experiences.
Rest in peace dad, we will meet again.
I love you forever dad ♥️

I come by every now and then to read what people are leaving here. This place gives me a sense of strong connection with all of you sharing personal stories. I feel your energy, we're in this together.

Hopefully, someday, I come back again to this song, and feel better than I feel right now.

two days ago i had one of the worst days of my life and cried for more than an hour straight while watching videos of my dad who comitted suicide a few months ago and now im sitting at my dining table studying classical mythology with the sun shining off and on through my window thinking 'oh what a wonderful world we live in. it is going to be okay' and it is. it will. i am speaking to you, someone who is also having a tough time, you will find moments where you'll think this exact same thing, you will find peace and light and safety again. and i believe in you and i love you and i still miss my dad and wish he was here but i also still love him very much. and time will heal all wounds i promise
