17:24 "Nothing seems to weigh you down. You just live so freely... You don't let fear or expectation or other people's opinions dictate the way you live your life." That's because I internalize all that stuff and keep it all in my brain until I lose my mind. While I may seem free, I'm actually quite trapped by my own mind and the horrific tricks it plays on me. You'll never know what hell is like until you don't feel safe in your own head.
I keep it all wrapped up for insecurity reasons until it manifests in self destructive behavior while my mind is stuck trying to figure out who I am and who I think I am which then circles back to putting up emotional walls.
When they think you're well put together, but in reality, you've fashioned yourself into a ticking time bomb of insecurities and self-deprecating thoughts. I mean- what?
I listen to these while I play all games, FFXIV, Diablo 2, Dark souls 1 2 & 3, fallout, etc etc. it meshes well with all kinds of games. Not Competitive shooters though, I tried listening to Glow while playing R6 siege and I ended up getting spooked by a knock sfx and blasted my teammate 😂
Oh my goodness, usually the art is wholesome and really nice. Today it is tantalising and I like the change of pace- though I did have to check it was my favourite Afterglow. Excited to give it a listen shortly! I’m sure I’ll love it as usual. 💜
You know what, ive alwasy been a fan because your voice is so soothing but something people fail to notice is just how insanely well written and consistent your scripts are. The attention to detail. FMC here noted earlier that shes usually more prepared than this and that little detail pops up on other aspects and to the main topic of why she couldnt take the next step with her fantasy and relationship with listener its so good
Whoever you are that runs this channel as a guy I’m not mad for ASMR but your voice is the most calming and captivating part about your audios which is great for somebody who has a stressful/ demanding job and just wants to fall asleep in comfort, so thank you very much for your craft :)
@@ILurkInTheComments everytime I’ve tried it’s hard for me to make time for them everybody says you would if you could but they don’t live my life 😂 I’d love to make time for someone but I simply can’t and I don’t wanna cause harm to the female in my life :)
I’m finding it crazy how you were quick to upload a video only seven days after your announcement of feeling under the weather Glow! Thank you for sharing a new audio this week, me and a whole bunch of others appreciate it 🥲❤️
The phone call part has me feeling so called out. I cover up my insecurity with rationality measuring outcomes and considering every scenario. In fact, I got so good at it I missed every opportunity and decades later stuck wondering how different my life could have been with the choices I chose before. But then again, every choose I made based on impulse or fear has screwed me. Here I am now, wallowing in another depressive episode, miles away from the closest friend, stuck in a broken marriage with two kids I can’t help but feel like I’m failing, working a job that needs a home support that is not present, while my mind lives in a perpetual fantasy world clashing between two different ideas of who I am. You win some, you lose some, but I chalked up more losses than wins.
Wow it's been a while, I love this audio. It's an amazing feeling to go straight back to summer. I hope you are doing awesome! Also... Happy Newyear and I wish you the best of luck in this lovely 2024!!!
This is an absolutely fantastic gem. I needed to relax before going to work tonight. I live less than 15 miles from the beach and like an idiot I rarely go. Thank you so very much. ❤👍
Your audios are crazy high quality, ive been watching a bunch of your stuff the past couple days and wow, you definitely make the best audios ive listened to.
This partially sounds like my trip to the Grammys with my BFF (who’s now my girlfriend) in Los Angeles. Especially when we walked the red carpet and I told her “Are you sure you’re not some celebrity or debutante?” And she kissed me on the cheek. I felt invincible.
Please do one more focused on the plane ride but the girl best friend is scared and has to “hold onto you” during turbulence and falls asleep on your shoulder.
All of your videos are adorably cute, but I must say, this is one of the single funniest. I had the hugest grin over my face the entire time. The protagonist panicking by the checkin and feeling the need to keep up pretense as a couple - followed by the "don't say a word" was hillarious. And I LOVED the conversation with the sister. "You're making a list right now, aren't you?" It was SUPREMELY siblingesque "If I can't see me, you can't see me" 😂 "I'm escaping into water!" 😂 "I was going to say that I love unicorns" 😂 The ending line was perfect. Thanks so much for SUCH a great video.
@rayali8764 Wish I could, but I have so much that I'm afraid to say that i wouldn't even know what to say. So maybe it's better not to say anything at all.
@@LoneWolf-mh6cw write it out first, like a good letter. Organize your thoughts, because as the saying goes "if I had more time, I would write a shorter letter."
Props to the sister. Not even getting sick could knock her off her matchmaking game. 👌
This was amazing. Thanks for the audio, Glow.
I'm a simple human. I see a new Afterglow video, I click.
Same
Agreed
For me it was the chick pulling up her top with her teeth
@@RailwayScholar was just about to say I definitely saw something else
Nah the top got me
i need a part 2. I don’t think i could function without one.
Yes. Part 2 please!!!
Yes! I’m so invested now! I teared up a little.
Be ready to shut down then.
And a Part 3 in regards to getting back home from the vacation.
WE LOSING OUR ABILITY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN IMAGINATION AND REALITY WITH THIS ONE
I’m stuck in a world of my mind more than in reality already.

After a few weeks, you finally grace us with the voice
The level of production is insane. This could be a movie honestly
Listening to a playlist of this while playing Doom. what is my life.
I'm playing M&B Bannerlord lol
You're livin the life, brother. May not be the best life, but it certainly is your life now.

its so good
A beach vacation with you sounds lovely!
I love how every year, when i get in the winter spirit, i watch one single video that reminds me of summer and the winter spirit goes away completely
For god sake, you speak truth!
PART 2 PLEASE AFTERGLOW I BEG OF YOU AND IT WAS HEAT🔥🔥
Ngl, with the winter weather and all now, a beach vacation sounds lovely right. Hope you've been feeling better Glow ❤️
Suddenly, the warm air of the previous summer... doesn't feel so bad now that I think about it
omg this art! love it. but i love your voice even more!! thank you always

This one was a classic. The best part was the squirming about having to confess the love.
Wasn't expecting an upload. I am thankful. Hope you get well soon

Blessed are we, for our mother, Afterglow hath blessed us with another of her wonderful audios!
Definitely need a part two for this it’s to interesting
This was, legitimately, really delightful. I laughed out loud at the gasped 'Are you ashamed of me??'
I love this one 😭 2:04 and 07:40 actually had me laughing out loud 😂 you're a very talented writer, I love the humor you pepper into those scripts 👌

I miss the rebellious popular girl series so much. Such a great story that I wish didn’t end. Love the stories that you make Afterglow!❤️
💚🏖️A confession that one would regret if they missed, glad everything worked out better than expected. 😊💚
A beach vacation, sounds lovely! I need some heat after how cold it's been and STILL is. Thanks for the audio Glow!
This is an absolutely fantastic gem. I needed to relax before going to work tonight. I live less than 15 miles from the beach and like an idiot I rarely go. Thank you so very much. ❤👍
YES, FIRST POST OF 2024, I'm gonna sleep so well tonight. Thanks glow

Wow, I feel like I'm listening to a good movie because the story is quite interesting
10:53 ‘’don’t think just do’’ top gun maverick:))
Amazing job Afterglow keep them coming

Such a good asmr roleplay video, Glow! Hell yeah
I saw the thumbnail and then noticed that it was glow who uploaded it, my hands just automatically went there !🤩😍
yaay! audio from glow! weekend has started to be great!
21:08 sounded soo cute thooo😂❤
Hey! Late check-in but this surely seems like the best way to end my day. Thank you, Glow. Keep being awesome!
Yay, awesome video Glow, you’re the best!!!!
well that took a sharp dark turn for a moment
Always love your videos, and this one is especially cute! Thank you for the upload! ❤
Gonna listen to this on my walk as it snows. Ty Glow

Solution to last minute trips like this: go with money, come back with luggage.
This was super cute! Not often we get taken to so many scenes.
You are a literary genius
A new Afterglow video!? Oh, and that art! 😍
I like these longer videos, let's the dialogue flow more naturally and not feel rushed
Greatest vacation ever?
Wonderful audio!
Quite a spicy thumbnail.
Oooooh, she‘s back ❤❤❤
Know your cooked if this is the biggest human interaction for the day🔥🔥💯
That art really activates my neurons
Please do one more focused on the plane ride but the girl best friend is scared and has to “hold onto you” during turbulence and falls asleep on your shoulder.
Mmmm good idea
Thumbnail though..
The harder I work during the day the more grateful I am the glow exists 😍😭
Now this was a banger
My gawd what a thumbnail.
You should do gf asmrs ( pls it’s my only escape from this cruel world )
DATS A SPICY THUMBNAIL 🤌
All of your videos are adorably cute, but I must say, this is one of the single funniest. I had the hugest grin over my face the entire time.

"If I can't see me, you can't see me" 😂
"I'm escaping into water!" 😂

The ending line was perfect.
Thanks so much for SUCH a great video.
This was wonderful. I really enjoyed this audio ❤
Hi Afterglow this video was so amazing keep up the good work love you so much
Oh man she had me at the tropical music scene
You did not have to go so hard with the thumbnail
the fact that she ACTUALLY sounds like my "her" is what makes these wild for me
Maybe she is 🧐
@@rayali8764 idk how I would feel about that tbh 😭
@@LoneWolf-mh6cw you should call her

Wonderful video, afterglow
damn it's -15°C out there and here I am dreaming about beach vacation
This is masterful...
Happy new year glow...🙏
That thumbnail does something to me... And I think I like it.
Realest of the real
I always imagine it’s just someone hot she’s talking to🤣
Great video Glow! This was soooo amazing to listen to.
You know what? Take my money, you deserve it.😊
(P.S can you do a slumber party video?)
Thank you so much!! And yes I can!!
@@AfterglowASMR YAY! Thank you Glow! ♥️
