this song creates an imagine in my head of me, maybe 10-11, putting down the controller for good, after so many years, and as im doing so, all the memories of the fun i had playing the games with my friends come flooding back at once, and then my older self standing the corner watching in tears. like if you can relate
I stumbled across this song a couple days and literally felt an overwhelming sense of connection. This song speaks to how I feel in my toxic household. I don’t go my my birth name and I hate being home, but the minute I have to go back, I am reminded of “my place” and that even after having my friends refer to me as a person, my parents will always only know me as the sweet and quiet little girl. I can’t leave, can’t have an opinion, but I’ll know that when the truth reveals itself, I’ll finally be free.
omfg me too. so like i’m a closeted trans and this song just reminds me of how much i suffered with my identity and how my family probably won’t even accept me and how i’ll disappoint them bc i won’t be their “princess” anymore so it kinda just stabs me in the heart. also reminds me of shifting cause i can be who i want and be in a different reality where i’m happy LMAO
@@lucan_nn brooo the “princess” thing hits sooo hard :( I don’t shift, but I do dissociate a lot, esp with weird core music. One day we’ll get to leave it behind
this song reminds me of how it felt to know someone before they changed, knowing exactly how they were and the way they acted, the way you'll always know that person for who they were before they changed.
I had a friend who was extremely toxic. She used to be so sweet, kind, thoughtful, and caring. Then she changed. She would threaten me with her killing herself. I used to have a crush on her. The old her. We aren’t friends anymore. We haven’t spoken in nearly a year. I hope she’s doing okay, wherever she is.
literally me with my ex-crush. he used to be quiet but funny and he had the cutest, nerdiest glasses until he got contact lenses. he used to be so sweet, so friendly. until being the center of attention suddenly became his biggest priority and he only cared about me and my feelings if it was convenient for him.
This sort of feels like the last day ever in school, where all your friends and the people you met go their own paths and you probably will never see them again.
@@urmom-rz9wq no i quoted that because it really made me realize how bad of a situation ronnie spector was in. meaning that even if ronnie wanted to change her last name back to her original one, she couldn’t because she was already well known as spector. meaning she’d have to basically live with her abusers last name for the rest of her life
this part of the song reminds me of the SA i experienced when i was only a child.. it makes me feel angry, but also a sense of calm, because though i have to live with the memory of it, i know he does too, and he’ll have to live with the horrible thing HE did for the rest of his life.
This song reminds me of my childhood. My house was super toxic and everyone was yelling even at eachother. My ears hurt so bad. (There’s a lot of other stuff that I’m leaving out for personal reasons) Once I turned 18 I left. And I swore to myself that I’d never talk to them. I was so ashamed of myself I changed my name. I changed who I was completely. I would never see myself the same. I was somebody different. One day I looked in the mirror and realized even though I’m a different person. I’m still that child who was abused. Even though no one knows and I look fine. I’ll always know what happened. I’m still that kid and I always will. I have my parents DNA. Even though I’m someone different I’m still the same scared kid. I’ll know who I was and who I am. So glad I stumbled across this song because it really describes me in a toxic and abusive household. My heart goes out to anyone who has also gone through this
@@The_Emptiness_of_Space I’m okay man. Sometimes people don’t have a good childhood and get abused. It hurts mentally right now but I’ll live. I’m so much happier now I don’t live with them.

I’ve been struggling with Bipolar 1 and Schizophrenia for years and just in the past week I’ve stopped taking my meds. I’m hearing and seeing that things that aren’t there, getting aggressive and not being able to control myself in any aspect. I’ve lost my friends and my partner, there’s no one or thing left for me. This song though somehow feels sympathetic for me and makes me feel less alone.
The song is based on real events. This was the story of Phil and Ronnie Spector. Phil worked with a bunch of famous artists one of them was named Ronnie they had a very abusive relationship. The song is called "Christmas Kids" because Phil adopted children as a Christmas "Gift" to try to fix their relationship. However he did not care about them in the slightest and left in 1 bucket to act as a toilet for the kids. He primarily got them to stop Ronnie from leaving him. This didn’t fix things so he locked her inside, put barbed wire around their mansion, and bars on the windows. The line "You can change your name or change your mind" meant that she couldn't change her name, because everyone knew her as Ronnie and the last name gave her so much legitimacy that she couldn’t be successful without it. She tried to drink herself to death, but she ended up in Alcoholics Anonymous, they helped give her the courage to try to escape. He threatened Ronnie with a gold coffin that he would display her corpse in. He then took her shoes so she couldn't escape as easily. Luckily one of the windows broke and she managed to squeeze herself through the broken window and escape. Unfortunately she lost everything in the divorce including the children, however luckily she managed to sue him for a lot of money. Phil ended up getting caught on other charges and he went to prison. Phil died in 2021 of Covid. And Ronnette died in 2022 at the age of 78 of cancer. TLDR: Ronnie was in a very abusive relationship, Phil threatened her and that’s what the song is about.
Every time I listen to this song, It reminds me of hundreds of little animals leaving a polluted wasteland left by a power hungry ceo making scarves and that very same ceo taking his hat off when a short orange dwarf pinches his rear end and starts levitating up to the heavens above while the ceo gestures him to come back
this is my favorite song its sad, but it feels comforting, im just sitting there melting, i can’t cry anymore but im sad beyond even trying to. like somebody pulling you into a different world
This song (especially this part) reminds me so badly of my estranged best friend before he completely changed and just listening to this makes me realise that I will always remember him for being such a caring and funny dork before he went into a snarky, selfish asshole and that despite his new persona I know who he used to be once
I found this song today, it remembered me that whenever I felt overwhelmed and hopeless I wanted to leave this fucked up place behind and start a new and a new identity and live peacefully...but I know It won't happen
Reminds me of leaving my old toxic home situation where I dealt with so much mental and emotional abuse I felt so much relief but I had to leave my sister behind.. I'll see her again.. it's been over 2 years but soon...
This song reminds me off how someone can change but they will also be the person they were before even if they change they will still be that same person.
This is so good. I'm moving out of a pretty toxic place soon and basically my one friend is one of the only things I'm going to miss. This song makes me feel like, ill "leave this fucked up place behind." But they will still know how great friends we are and everything we've been through together and so will I ❤. "You'll change your name, you'll change your mind and leave this fucked up place behind. But I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know."
I was picked on extremely growing up. All because of how I looked and acted, and at one point I wanted to change who I was completely. I wanted to stay home, I wanted to just cover my whole body. I was picked on about the stupidest things, like having an abnormal amount of hair on me. But it was so constant that I felt like something was wrong with me. Luckily I moved away from there, but I still have anxiety going to school because of the fake friends and the amount I was bullied mentally and physically. I wasn’t abused at home, which is why I’m still doing well.
I had the best little ragtag group of friends in 6th grade. 2 moved, and 1 doesn’t talk to me much anymore. But I still really care for them. I saw both kids who moved recently. Within the last few months or so. One at a party, and the other at an audition. We talked as if the other had never left. I could tell I wasn’t the only one wishing we were all still together. Those 3 people made age 11 the best year of my life. Now, I have tons of friends. Most of them are pretty good people, too. But it’s not the same, somehow. Everyone says romance is true love, but I’ve never loved anyone more than my 6th grade friends. Perhaps I never will.
Little background to this song- It's about the lead singer of the band, The Ronnettes. Her name was Ronnie Ronnette. Her husband, Phil, was extremely abusive. His perspective is the first part of the song, hence the lyric, "Ronnette my dear, don't ever disappear. do what you want as long as you stay here." After the do do dodo do do do do doo we hear it change to Ronnies perspective. "I'm leaving Phil, I'm leaving now. I'm going the escape but you wont know how." Ronnie was Phil's wife, and he was abusive towards her. He wouldn't let her leave him or the house without him. He would hide her shoes and threaten her, he even had a casket he kept to scare her. On Christmas he adopted 2 children..the Christmas kids. He used them as a method to guilt her so she wouldn't leave. Eventually she did escape him. The kids were taken from him. Phil and Ronnie are the people on the cover of the album.
I dont know if this song cheers me up or makes me think about it but thank you for making this :) my bird died about an hour ago so im kinda just here now🕊️❤️
I know you commented this 2 weeks ago but im sorry i know how it feels like to lose something or someone you love i hope your bird now rests in peace :)
2038 views and 2000 of them are from me :) (in all seriousness tho ive had this video on loop for a few days and im OBSESSED with this clean looped version of it, its addicting tbh)
I try not to listen to this song too much. It makes me feel a way I cant describe. The first time I heard it I had to turn it off because of how it made me feel but once I learned the backstory of it I was disgusted, not only by the terrible things Ronnie went through but how it confirmed that exact initial sense of the song relating to me. I went through a lot of similar things and all I wish is that Ronnie and her children would have never had to experience even an ounce of what they did. I would never wish something like that on anyone else. It still torments me. I have nightmares about My Ex. I still have scars. I was told I'd never be able to leave him. I had a legal name change and still I fear that I haven't escaped that past. I have to move on but god knowing what happened I wish I'd forget it all completely. Leaving him was terrifying but pure freedom. Still not yet feeling free. Its numbing.
I came from a GTA 5 Michael and Trevor angst edit lmao. Music makes me wanna cry for some reason, great video I was looking for someone to make a 10 minute one even though you can loop the video.
The part "and leave this F*cked up place behind" reminds me when I was in the fandom and then realized how toxic it was (but now I found myself non-toxic fandom)
This reminds me of my past abusive relationship. He saw me go through all sorts of trauma, and probably caused even more. He saw me move on and become almost a different person when I started dating a friend of his. A better person.
This song reminds me of my friends who turned into different, ruder , brattier people.. it’s hurts seeing how much they changed personalities. But I will know that they’re amazing people on the inside. Stay safe and happy out there it’s a interesting world out there.
I connect with this song because my dad was abusive to me throughout my childhood and with “you’ll change your name” in my case is that I had the same name as my dad and I hated it so I got it changed awhile ago. And then the part of the song that says “and leave this fucked up place behind but I’ll know” for me is that my mom and dad got a divorce but the abuse still happened up until I was 16 witch was 3 years ago. And that I will always remember the abuse he did to me and it will be hard to get rid of the memories but I know life still has to go on and I won’t be stuck in the memories and be depressed when I think of it. But I know it will happen but I’ll just have to think about the good things in life. Feel free to comment if you went through the same thing or something similar because I know it happens a lot with people these days witch is sad and disgusting.
when life destroyed you, you must change your identity forever. Everyone will know who were and what you did, and no one will forget no matter what you do to change yourself. no sin can ever be appeased by the minds you warped.
I often think about the way it used to be . Our family was far from ideal ,none of us were happy . It was for the better. So why is it that I can’t help but to miss it all .people always say how difficult it must be for me.I pretend it’s not ,but it is .
Love it Edit: This Song Helps Me Alot When I Am Crying. I Always Calm Down From This Video, Rn I Am Crying People People Never Allow Me To Cent About My Problems , I Always Have A Burden On My Back. I Always Cry And Vent To Myself, I Am Never Allowed To Speak. Always Cutted Ofdf, My Channel Failing, Everybody Scolding Me. Scars From Bullying. Depression. Nobody cares for me but this video, means alot.thznk you for creating this.
people might not who who im abt to talk abt, but these remind me of those tiktoks with this sound on with elton castee sam and colby, etc getting pranked horribly by elton castee, it was horrific what he did, if you dont know what or who im talking about search it up on google or youtube :)
Je repense à tous les moments passés étant petite,la naïveté, la gaieté, quand la seule chose à laquelle je me préoccupais était de m’amuser, ça me manque. Puis je me rappelle dans la réalité dans laquelle je suis aujourd’hui, tellement triste, je me sens enfermée, j’aimerai pourvoir m’évader.
This song actually has a dark backstory to it. for people who don’t know Ronnie Spector married to someone named Phil, who was a music producer for a few bands, and from the money they made they bought a mansion, but Phil barricaded the mansion so Ronnie couldn’t escape. He also hid Ronnie’s shoes to make sure. But the last straw was when Phil adopted 2 kids for her as a Christmas gift without permission. She eventually escaped and when Phil k***ed somebody else in his mansion, he got put in jail in 2003 for 19 years. Phil died in 2021 and Ronnie died in 2022.
The brain is an incredibly intricate and remarkable organ that serves as the command center of the central nervous system. It plays a vital role in controlling and coordinating all bodily functions. Weighing approximately 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) in an average adult human, the brain is composed of an astonishing 100 billion nerve cells known as neurons. These neurons are highly specialized cells that communicate with each other through a combination of electrical impulses and chemical signals. This intricate network of communication allows the brain to process information, send instructions, and regulate various bodily functions. One of the most prominent features of the brain is the cerebral cortex, which forms the outer layer. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, memory, and perception. It plays a crucial role in shaping our personalities, intellect, and consciousness. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, commonly known as the left and right hemispheres. These hemispheres are connected by a bundle of fibers called the corpus callosum, enabling communication and coordination between the two sides. The left hemisphere of the brain is typically associated with language processing, logical thinking, and analytical skills. In contrast, the right hemisphere is more involved in creativity, intuition, and spatial awareness. In order to protect this vital organ, the brain is encased within the skull and surrounded by three layers of membranes called meninges. These membranes act as a protective barrier, shielding the brain from physical impact and injury. Additionally, the brain is cushioned by cerebrospinal fluid, a clear and watery substance that helps absorb shocks and provide further protection. The brain is an incredibly energy-demanding organ, accounting for approximately 20% of the body's total energy expenditure. It primarily relies on glucose, a simple sugar, as its primary source of fuel. This high energy consumption highlights the brain's constant activity and the vital role it plays in maintaining our overall bodily functions. In conclusion, the brain is a complex and awe-inspiring organ that governs our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Its intricate structure, vast network of neurons, and specialized functions allow us to perceive the world, process information, learn, and engage in a wide range of cognitive activities. Understanding the brain and its remarkable capabilities is a fascinating field of study that continues to captivate scientists and researchers worldwide. This is not a bot comment
Reminds me about how my past best friend remembers a trio or a duo with another girl and me or just them , I remember being the little girl running after them in primary school after they ran away from me . I would never catch up to them and sit in the corner of the play ground reading a book by myself in the corner of the playground . I found comfort in the characters I read about and their relationships with others , in year six the days would blur together into a mess of the same routine and wanted to desperately wanting to be in book stories . The last day of year 6 she ignored me , I tried to connect to her after I had a really problematic friendship, she told me she would be friends with me if I decided to stop being friends with her , she ignores me and I just follow them around in the group , safe to say the best friendships I’ve had weren’t even real , I think what happened makes me have a bad grasp on reality as the stories I read and what I did that say merged together for my younger self.
I remember when i used to be so happy and energetic, I’ve changed I find nothing fun and I stay silent wear a mask of happiness like everything is okay it’s not nothing is ok it never really has been I just hide it because they won’t understand
You walk into your new apartment, this is your home, you're an adult now, you're not a kid anymore, you moved out of your childhood, and into your adulthood Idk i wanted to do sum deep like the other ppl in these comments 😅
I hope this song gets the respect and care it deserves. It’s an a amazing song about a horrible real world story. And one that still happens today indeed. I wish anyone experienced something like this the best.. Explanation: The story that this song is about: Ronnie Spector, who is a 60s Pop star who was abused and locked up by her husband Phil Spector, a songwriter, who used her for fame. In an attempt to keep her with him he adopted two twins as “Gifts “ On christmas. dubbed the Christmas Kids- the name of this song. Ronnie eventually escaped, but was unable to change her name due to being known under the name, Ronnie Spector. This is shown in the lyric “Change your name or change your mind” this was done so she could continue in the music industry. This song is supposed to be for awareness. (This is sort of a repost, just to spread the info.)
I don't live in a toxic household but But I know I have a toxic way of thinking. Like I hate having my parents pay for things most of time even tho I have no money this song grabs my soul in sense of guilt for not being a good son because I am Not working and I feel like I am on time limit and this old type song is scaring me from my future the day my parent are not here no more and old songs will destroy me. Multiple thing here that I wrote about is just small Way how I feel I just wish I stronger but I don't know why I am so terrified of getting a Job but I know once get one i'll be great but why is this wall infront of me Idk
I’ve been listening to this song and had it stuck in my head. 6 months ago my ex and I broke up. I’ve been heartbroken ever since but sorta moving on but would be sad about her sometimes. Thing is she hide so many things and I feel like she cheated. She also went MIA on me even though I was trying to get answers from her so I could have the whole story but nope she didn’t want to answer so I only had my Version. I thought we got somewhere when I asked her for closure in person and she said sure and so we both opened up to each other. Yesterday though she text me from another number saying that I told the whole social work program at our school about our breakup and kept bringing up people that I didn’t even talk to. She even brought up a friend of mine and I got so mad at the friend and my ex. Now I kinda think my friend and I arent on good terms. I don’t get what’s up with my ex and her lying and manipulation, but it’s crushing me. It got so bad I thought that I don’t even want to go to class on Friday since most of the people she named are in that class. I don’t know who to trust anymore. Plus I’m going to be working with my ex for six hours next Saturday and honestly if she tries and talks to me I’m going to ignore because my life has been hell since our breakup all thanks to her.

Every time I listen to this song, It reminds me of hundreds of little animals leaving a polluted wasteland left by a power hungry ceo making scarves and that very same ceo taking his hat off when a short orange dwarf pinches his rear end and starts levitating up to the heavens above while the ceo gestures him to come back
this is my favorite song
its sad, but it feels comforting, im just sitting there melting, i can’t cry anymore but im sad beyond even trying to.
like somebody pulling you into a different world
This song (especially this part) reminds me so badly of my estranged best friend before he completely changed and just listening to this makes me realise that I will always remember him for being such a caring and funny dork before he went into a snarky, selfish asshole and that despite his new persona I know who he used to be once
I found this song today, it remembered me that whenever I felt overwhelmed and hopeless I wanted to leave this fucked up place behind and start a new and a new identity and live peacefully...but I know It won't happen
Reminds me of leaving my old toxic home situation where I dealt with so much mental and emotional abuse I felt so much relief but I had to leave my sister behind.. I'll see her again.. it's been over 2 years but soon...
"But I'll know. I'll know."
Have a good life man, you're amazing.
sometimes, I hear this and usually i have ptsd due to past childhood. I just cannot forget everything it is simple too much
This song gives me this odd feeling. Kinda lightheaded. It gives me imagines and just de ja vu. I get chills up my spine. This iso soooo good
This song reminds me off how someone can change but they will also be the person they were before even if they change they will still be that same person.
Conversely i like the opening section much more than this part, that whole tells a sad story of obsession in itself
"Im going to escape and you wont know how" is the best for me 😍🤞
The feeling of leaving your home country to migrate on another country and leaving your only Real Friend that's been there for you ever since you met.
This is so good. I'm moving out of a pretty toxic place soon and basically my one friend is one of the only things I'm going to miss. This song makes me feel like, ill "leave this fucked up place behind." But they will still know how great friends we are and everything we've been through together and so will I ❤. "You'll change your name, you'll change your mind and leave this fucked up place behind. But I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know."
why did this make me tear up. i'm so happy for you & hope you stay close with your friend
I was picked on extremely growing up. All because of how I looked and acted, and at one point I wanted to change who I was completely. I wanted to stay home, I wanted to just cover my whole body. I was picked on about the stupidest things, like having an abnormal amount of hair on me. But it was so constant that I felt like something was wrong with me. Luckily I moved away from there, but I still have anxiety going to school because of the fake friends and the amount I was bullied mentally and physically. I wasn’t abused at home, which is why I’m still doing well.
I SOUND LIKE AN ATTENTION SEEKER NGL -
Finally i found this looping vid i need the most. Feel Like i have connection with this song even i dont know why. Maybe i been through alot
When you realise the Lorax was your best friend after all
Me: tries to give marshmallow to bear
**the fucking lorax floating to heaven as the bear mauls me to death**
People on TH-cam who post smooth loops of the best parts of some songs deserve the world
I had the best little ragtag group of friends in 6th grade. 2 moved, and 1 doesn’t talk to me much anymore. But I still really care for them. I saw both kids who moved recently. Within the last few months or so. One at a party, and the other at an audition. We talked as if the other had never left. I could tell I wasn’t the only one wishing we were all still together. Those 3 people made age 11 the best year of my life. Now, I have tons of friends. Most of them are pretty good people, too. But it’s not the same, somehow. Everyone says romance is true love, but I’ve never loved anyone more than my 6th grade friends. Perhaps I never will.
BRO, WE HAD THE SAME 6TH GRADE????, I moved from my friends in February
bro this comment got me crying
Thanks for making such a great loop it's so good you can't really tell that it loops but thank you I love this song.
Unbelievably smooth transition. Perfect for today, thank you.
Time flies-
ngl, that hit hard
Little background to this song-
It's about the lead singer of the band, The Ronnettes. Her name was Ronnie Ronnette. Her husband, Phil, was extremely abusive. His perspective is the first part of the song, hence the lyric, "Ronnette my dear, don't ever disappear. do what you want as long as you stay here." After the do do dodo do do do do doo we hear it change to Ronnies perspective. "I'm leaving Phil, I'm leaving now. I'm going the escape but you wont know how."
Ronnie was Phil's wife, and he was abusive towards her. He wouldn't let her leave him or the house without him. He would hide her shoes and threaten her, he even had a casket he kept to scare her. On Christmas he adopted 2 children..the Christmas kids. He used them as a method to guilt her so she wouldn't leave. Eventually she did escape him. The kids were taken from him.
Phil and Ronnie are the people on the cover of the album.
Nah, the best part is "if you ever try to leave me..."
I dont know if this song cheers me up or makes me think about it but thank you for making this :) my bird died about an hour ago so im kinda just here now🕊️❤️
rest in peace
😔💔
@@ilove3amwater Thank you, I hope you had a good week!🫶❤️❤️
@@wolfshards765 Thank you :) have a good rest of your day❤️
I know you commented this 2 weeks ago but im sorry i know how it feels like to lose something or someone you love i hope your bird now rests in peace :)
Much love to everyone in this comment section who's going thru hard times mentally and physically. ❤
I was literally looking for this thank you so much
2038 views and 2000 of them are from me :)
(in all seriousness tho ive had this video on loop for a few days and im OBSESSED with this clean looped version of it, its addicting tbh)
i want to leave everything behind and just go man. im so tired.
I try not to listen to this song too much. It makes me feel a way I cant describe. The first time I heard it I had to turn it off because of how it made me feel but once I learned the backstory of it I was disgusted, not only by the terrible things Ronnie went through but how it confirmed that exact initial sense of the song relating to me. I went through a lot of similar things and all I wish is that Ronnie and her children would have never had to experience even an ounce of what they did. I would never wish something like that on anyone else. It still torments me. I have nightmares about My Ex. I still have scars. I was told I'd never be able to leave him. I had a legal name change and still I fear that I haven't escaped that past. I have to move on but god knowing what happened I wish I'd forget it all completely. Leaving him was terrifying but pure freedom. Still not yet feeling free. Its numbing.
I can't stop thinking of Stan and Kyle
Just stop then 🗿
Bet u werent even thinking abt them before reading my reply
@@iamthing4460 bro is mad over a pixelated comment 💀
@@Fizzybsd i aint mad ? Why should i be.
I came from a GTA 5 Michael and Trevor angst edit lmao.
Music makes me wanna cry for some reason, great video I was looking for someone to make a 10 minute one even though you can loop the video.
wait how do you loop a yt vid idk how man 😭😭
@@squeebkat ok so when u click on the video, you’ll see a setting icon on the top right corner then press that, you will see a loop option
The part "and leave this F*cked up place behind" reminds me when I was in the fandom and then realized how toxic it was (but now I found myself non-toxic fandom)
This reminds me of my past abusive relationship. He saw me go through all sorts of trauma, and probably caused even more. He saw me move on and become almost a different person when I started dating a friend of his. A better person.
THIS IS PURE PERFECTION WTH
This song reminds me of my friends who turned into different, ruder , brattier people.. it’s hurts seeing how much they changed personalities. But I will know that they’re amazing people on the inside. Stay safe and happy out there it’s a interesting world out there.
I feel like I am one of those changed friends, and I feel really ashamed about it, and many other things. I feel like I can never please anyone.
I connect with this song because my dad was abusive to me throughout my childhood and with “you’ll change your name” in my case is that I had the same name as my dad and I hated it so I got it changed awhile ago. And then the part of the song that says “and leave this fucked up place behind but I’ll know” for me is that my mom and dad got a divorce but the abuse still happened up until I was 16 witch was 3 years ago. And that I will always remember the abuse he did to me and it will be hard to get rid of the memories but I know life still has to go on and I won’t be stuck in the memories and be depressed when I think of it. But I know it will happen but I’ll just have to think about the good things in life.
Feel free to comment if you went through the same thing or something similar because I know it happens a lot with people these days witch is sad and disgusting.
when life destroyed you, you must change your identity forever. Everyone will know who were and what you did, and no one will forget no matter what you do to change yourself. no sin can ever be appeased by the minds you warped.
My friend had to move cuz his family had all of the stuff there, and i still remember the last day i was with him for a long time.
"this song gives me an overwhelming feeling of pure gri-"
Christmas Kids - Roar enjoyers:
Ik 💀
"I have 3 months left for my birthday..."
I’ve been singing this only part in my head for so long so now I can listen to this thank you so much for this type❤
I often think about the way it used to be . Our family was far from ideal ,none of us were happy . It was for the better. So why is it that I can’t help but to miss it all .people always say how difficult it must be for me.I pretend it’s not ,but it is .
Thank you so much for this :)
can’t think of this song without the Lorax flying
thank you so so much for making this, that part speaks to me somehow and I really needed it today
Love it
Edit: This Song Helps Me Alot When I Am Crying. I Always Calm Down From This Video, Rn I Am Crying People People Never Allow Me To Cent About My Problems , I Always Have A Burden On My Back. I Always Cry And Vent To Myself, I Am Never Allowed To Speak. Always Cutted Ofdf, My Channel Failing, Everybody Scolding Me. Scars From Bullying. Depression. Nobody cares for me but this video, means alot.thznk you for creating this.
people might not who who im abt to talk abt, but these remind me of those tiktoks with this sound on with elton castee sam and colby, etc getting pranked horribly by elton castee, it was horrific what he did, if you dont know what or who im talking about search it up on google or youtube :)
best transition
summer is peaking
So good
Je repense à tous les moments passés étant petite,la naïveté, la gaieté, quand la seule chose à laquelle je me préoccupais était de m’amuser, ça me manque.
Puis je me rappelle dans la réalité dans laquelle je suis aujourd’hui, tellement triste, je me sens enfermée, j’aimerai pourvoir m’évader.
oh mon dieu ça me manque. je veux à être plus comme ce
Exactly how I feel.
3:30 am soul crushing realization that I will never be the one for her, I was just one to her.
This song actually has a dark backstory to it.
for people who don’t know Ronnie Spector married to someone named Phil, who was a music producer for a few bands, and from the money they made they bought a mansion, but Phil barricaded the mansion so Ronnie couldn’t escape.
He also hid Ronnie’s shoes to make sure.
But the last straw was when Phil adopted 2 kids for her as a Christmas gift without permission.
She eventually escaped and when Phil k***ed somebody else in his mansion, he got put in jail in 2003 for 19 years.
Phil died in 2021 and Ronnie died in 2022.
The brain is an incredibly intricate and remarkable organ that serves as the command center of the central nervous system. It plays a vital role in controlling and coordinating all bodily functions. Weighing approximately 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms) in an average adult human, the brain is composed of an astonishing 100 billion nerve cells known as neurons.
These neurons are highly specialized cells that communicate with each other through a combination of electrical impulses and chemical signals. This intricate network of communication allows the brain to process information, send instructions, and regulate various bodily functions.
One of the most prominent features of the brain is the cerebral cortex, which forms the outer layer. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, memory, and perception. It plays a crucial role in shaping our personalities, intellect, and consciousness.
The brain is divided into two hemispheres, commonly known as the left and right hemispheres. These hemispheres are connected by a bundle of fibers called the corpus callosum, enabling communication and coordination between the two sides. The left hemisphere of the brain is typically associated with language processing, logical thinking, and analytical skills. In contrast, the right hemisphere is more involved in creativity, intuition, and spatial awareness.
In order to protect this vital organ, the brain is encased within the skull and surrounded by three layers of membranes called meninges. These membranes act as a protective barrier, shielding the brain from physical impact and injury. Additionally, the brain is cushioned by cerebrospinal fluid, a clear and watery substance that helps absorb shocks and provide further protection.
The brain is an incredibly energy-demanding organ, accounting for approximately 20% of the body's total energy expenditure. It primarily relies on glucose, a simple sugar, as its primary source of fuel. This high energy consumption highlights the brain's constant activity and the vital role it plays in maintaining our overall bodily functions.
In conclusion, the brain is a complex and awe-inspiring organ that governs our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Its intricate structure, vast network of neurons, and specialized functions allow us to perceive the world, process information, learn, and engage in a wide range of cognitive activities. Understanding the brain and its remarkable capabilities is a fascinating field of study that continues to captivate scientists and researchers worldwide.
This is not a bot comment
Reminds me about how my past best friend remembers a trio or a duo with another girl and me or just them , I remember being the little girl running after them in primary school after they ran away from me . I would never catch up to them and sit in the corner of the play ground reading a book by myself in the corner of the playground . I found comfort in the characters I read about and their relationships with others , in year six the days would blur together into a mess of the same routine and wanted to desperately wanting to be in book stories . The last day of year 6 she ignored me , I tried to connect to her after I had a really problematic friendship, she told me she would be friends with me if I decided to stop being friends with her , she ignores me and I just follow them around in the group , safe to say the best friendships I’ve had weren’t even real , I think what happened makes me have a bad grasp on reality as the stories I read and what I did that say merged together for my younger self.
I remember when i used to be so happy and energetic, I’ve changed I find nothing fun and I stay silent wear a mask of happiness like everything is okay it’s not nothing is ok it never really has been I just hide it because they won’t understand
ill know ill know ill know ill know ill know ill know ill know ill know
The Lorax leaving me:
i got here because of south park edits

This reminds me of the lorax leaving me...

You walk into your new apartment, this is your home, you're an adult now, you're not a kid anymore, you moved out of your childhood, and into your adulthood
Idk i wanted to do sum deep like the other ppl in these comments 😅
I have to give credit to this song, it has helped me though some rough times.
Everytime i listen to this song i feel like im not alone
i just watched the lorax 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I hope this song gets the respect and care it deserves. It’s an a amazing song about a horrible real world story. And one that still happens today indeed. I wish anyone experienced something like this the best..
Explanation:
The story that this song is about: Ronnie Spector, who is a 60s Pop star who was abused and locked up by her husband Phil Spector, a songwriter, who used her for fame. In an attempt to keep her with him he adopted two twins as “Gifts “ On christmas. dubbed the Christmas Kids- the name of this song.
Ronnie eventually escaped, but was unable to change her name due to being known under the name, Ronnie Spector. This is shown in the lyric “Change your name or change your mind” this was done so she could continue in the music industry.
This song is supposed to be for awareness. (This is sort of a repost, just to spread the info.)
I don't live in a toxic household but But I know I have a toxic way of thinking. Like I hate having my parents pay for things most of time even tho I have no money this song grabs my soul in sense of guilt for not being a good son because I am Not working and I feel like I am on time limit and this old type song is scaring me from my future the day my parent are not here no more and old songs will destroy me. Multiple thing here that I wrote about is just small Way how I feel I just wish I stronger but I don't know why I am so terrified of getting a Job but I know once get one i'll be great but why is this wall infront of me Idk
makes me sad becuz it reminds me of the times of playing in the playground.btw im using my moms account called tin allanciano

This band needs a rediscovery.

I listen to this song after i cried or when im sad and it really warm my heart
I’ve been listening to this song and had it stuck in my head. 6 months ago my ex and I broke up. I’ve been heartbroken ever since but sorta moving on but would be sad about her sometimes. Thing is she hide so many things and I feel like she cheated. She also went MIA on me even though I was trying to get answers from her so I could have the whole story but nope she didn’t want to answer so I only had my Version. I thought we got somewhere when I asked her for closure in person and she said sure and so we both opened up to each other. Yesterday though she text me from another number saying that I told the whole social work program at our school about our breakup and kept bringing up people that I didn’t even talk to. She even brought up a friend of mine and I got so mad at the friend and my ex. Now I kinda think my friend and I arent on good terms. I don’t get what’s up with my ex and her lying and manipulation, but it’s crushing me. It got so bad I thought that I don’t even want to go to class on Friday since most of the people she named are in that class. I don’t know who to trust anymore. Plus I’m going to be working with my ex for six hours next Saturday and honestly if she tries and talks to me I’m going to ignore because my life has been hell since our breakup all thanks to her.
