also not trying to be all over you, but i sent you lyrics and chords to song i wrote called “Damp” during your show in Springfield MD on 9/11/18 and i would really just like to know if this song made it you and if you saw it. i really had some doubts about you actually seeing it, but it would mean the world to me if i could just know if you ever saw it. i will leave you alone after this i promise!
"Nobody is thinking about that really embarrassing thing you did that keeps you up at night, everyone's too busy thinking about the really embarrassing thing they did that keeps them up at night." Is what I want everyone, including me to keep in mind at all times.
Also no one is paying attention to the fact that you don't look like a runway model and your hair is kinda messy. Everyone is worrying about how _they_ don't look like runway models and their hair is kinda messy.
When I am sad because I remember the times my uncle raped me from ages 4 to 12 I read the comments on youtube and get reminded that there are people going through much worse 🙏
Wallow in your own Self pity omg, I can’t believe your “uncle” can do that without feeling like sh1t is disgusting. I hope you’re all right, I got yo back! Edit: wait- FOUR?? Jesus people need help
Wallow in your own Self pity make sure you remember that the things that others are going through do not and should not invalidate your own trauma. take care of yourself
Hi @@wserv3215, I'm sorry to hear that. But please do not wallow in your self pity (in case you are serious about your username). You are not alone. If you need help and support, I hope you find it soon!
here's more to add to that list: * fresh warm laundry out the dryer * when you get to put on said fresh warm laundry out the dryer * being on a road trip at night and looking up at the stars wondering what's really out there * warm homemade sugary baked goods * waking up and actually feeling refreshed * waking up and having a lie in, in a cocoon of warmth * tasting what would be your favourite food for the first time * finding something you lost long ago * when you win a competition and everyone is cheering for you and they're proud of you * staying up all night playing games
Wondermittens To add on: *Your parents saying they’re proud of you, and it’s real. *There is a better way to express yourself than a while ago. You are born in the time you were Meant to be in. *Cats Purring *A loved one giving you affection. (Weather it be art, physical affection, or kind words
Or some other ideas: - Being able to curl up under a blanket (or more, depending on the weather) and just watch shows, especially if you have someone with you - An hot shower after getting caught in the rain - the smell of rain after a surpisingly long bout of pleasantly dry weather - A mug of hot chocolate with your favourite toppings when you get in from the cold - That sense of relief when you've finally finished with something which was stressing you out, and you can just put it behind you - Curling up at home with a good book, especially one you've read before - Looking up at the night sky - Being able to know that, even if you may not be the best at something, at least you tried, so you can only improve with practice
Here's more! *laying in bed after a long and productive day *the feeling when you're fresh out of the shower and curled up watching your favorite thing with a warm cup of the beverage you like *when you come back home to your pet after a long day at work/school *waking up and finding that a loved one has prepared you food *when it's raining and you make that splish-splash with your boots while walking *sitting alone in a cozy cafe litening to your favorite music and staring outside the window or doing something like drawing or writing *watching raindrops sliding down the window *that feeling of relieved victory after you've aced a test you studied so hard for *when your best friends/loved ones snuggle closer to you for a group photo *sleeping tonight and knowing that you're gonna wake up in the safety of your house and the warmth of your bed *when you and a stranger team up to help someone then you both smile at each other before going your seperate ways *when you leave school a little late than usual just so you can spend more time with friends *when the traffic is horrible but thats okay coz it means you've got more time to enjoy some more music *looking into the mirror after getting a new haricut/hairdye *finally getting that thing you wanted so badly *sleeping in on a day off ❤♥❤
This video along with all these points as well have really helped me with a personal problem today, and hopefully to pay forward I'll add a few comforting things. *Finally being done with something you've worked on all day and being able to sit back and admiring it. *A clean room *The feeling as a little kid stepping into a new house you've never been in before and looking at all your new surroundings *The smell of books *Finding the perfect new song *When you find something you didn't know you where looking for *The gentle sound of rain against your windows *The feeling of warm shower water dripping down your body *The moments after finishing blow drying your hair (Possibly just a me thing)
When he said there are millions of other people and _animals_ that share your birthday, made me so happy, I genuinely smiled to myself for a moment. Thing is, I work at a vets office. I know that. I've met dogs that have the same birthday as me. (And it's amazing.)
why do i feel like im going to cry? its not sad or happy tears? its just comforting tears? i guess you could classify them as happy tears because i feel so comforted that i want to cry cause i've never been this comforted before
Any feeling that is different from what you are used to, and changes your mind substantially, will make you cry. The feeling you describe is called relief, and it's a wonderful feeling indeed.
I don't ever remember doing that myself, but I have four little sisters who all did that (although they weren't the best at pretending to be asleep), so I can say I have done plenty of carrying in my life 😄
I desperately needed this and it brought me to tears. I especially appreciate the nod to sweet potato fries - their being added to a menu is a major victory to me, too
When you are laughing so hard that you can’t breathe. One of my personal favourites. Oh and the feeling you get when the panic has finally passed the easiness you feel in your muscles and the sensation of your breathing and heart rate getting back to normal.
I was looking for the music used, and if anyone wants to know, it's "L'Etoile danse (Pt. 1)" by Meydän Thought I'd share, just because I was looking through the comments to find it and couldn't, so...
I thought the title was gonna be a joke and the video would actually be the opposite, but I’m so glad that wasn’t the case. Everything about this was lovely, thank you PJ
@@susanjeffrensen1816 i mean yea, I dont hear it in real life, and ik that PJ cares for his fans. Idk why you decided to attack me because I like to hear something that would make anyone feel good, even if it's just from some guy on the internet. I look up to him, I personally think you should too.
things i remembered about my dad from this video * the time he got a new dog, his name is Mack. when he got him, i was about 5. being the small child i was, and the big german shepherd scared me. i climbed on the old, grey couch as an attempt to get away from the big beast. my dad chuckled, saying its alright * the times i'd draw on the way back home from whereever we'd been on the previous day, the moon finally fallen. the flashes of light from the lightpole things helping occasionally * the time i pretended to sleep in the car when we got home, him picking me up from my pretend slumber, and me casually falling asleep as he would carry me back this doesn't matter though, no one will notice, or care about this comment. but i felt as if it were needed to be said. honestly, i dunno. ignore this, sure. i dont care if you notice, like, or even reply. it's just a comment..but eh. hi, i like you. you actually read this and cared enough to read it to here. so thanks :) - hi wtf this has like, 325 likes? sorry who is this am i even me? after suddenly getting notifications from this, who let this happen smsmmskksksk
Nobody's thinking about that embarrassing thing because they're thinking about their own embarrassing things OMG Mind blown Thank you, PJ. You're absolutely right 😄
i replied to someone’s comment with these but i wanted to put them out there as it’s own comment too: *reading through old journals or sketchbooks *putting on your favorite outfit for the first time *a stranger giving you a compliment out of nowhere *skinning your knee as a kid and then you parents caring for it while you feet dangle off the chair *similarly, your parents kissing the place where you got hurt and it magically feeling better *sitting in a parked car with a loved one just talking and making jokes at night *showing someone art you’ve made that you’re not proud of but that person genius praising it like it’s the best thing they’ve ever seen *secretly trading pokémon cards at recess so that the teachers couldn’t see *playing dress up in your parents clothing as a kid and pretending to be them *listening to a song you’ve heard a thousand times but for some reason this time it feels different and new again and you just connect with it *that random smell that reminds you of your childhood that’s all. have a good day :)
your voice is perfect for this. please do more of u just talking , or even do like a small calming podcast once in a while. thank u for this, i definitely needed this.
I don't think I've ever actually commented on one of your videos before but I HAVE to say... your voice is the most soothing thing and I thought this would be a joke but it actually made me feel so many feels and now I feel warm and good. Thanks for that.
I still pretend to be asleep sometimes when I hear my mom come to my bed and usually she'll run her hand over my forehead or through my hair thinking I'm sleeping.... there's still that child in me. Thank you PJ for this beautiful video. You really calmed my anxiety and I'm feeling at ease. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
@@storyworldofem Thank you, your comment was so warm! I can understand it just sucks to be away from our parents but we eventually have to deal with it but thankfully the memories are always there❤
@@Namxta Aaw, you're welcome! It's a necessary part of growing up (if growing up is actually a real thing... many of these "adults" I meet are just big toddlers...). And my parents do appreciate it a lot when I call them just to say very random things :)
@@storyworldofem yes, some of us don't grow mentally... But yeah, it's the same with me, I'll just go to my mom while she's doing stuff just to be in her presence. It's a bliss to have as a adult!
Alrighty Aphrodite okay I know this is going to sound extremely weird but I found your comment then I realised who you were! I’m freddieluvstom on Instagram and I think it’s so cool I found your comment 😂💓 sorry I just thought I’d point it out aha
To the person scrolling through the comments... You are valid, you are loved, you are unique. Don't change a thing about yourself to appeal to others. You are beautiful!
I want to add a few personal things: • cats. Just cuddly cats • being outside and having fun with my best friend who I might see again soon after weeks • watching something with my friends and them putting their heads onto my shoulders since I'm the tallest of the group • little things like drawings, words, handcrafted stuff, meant for your ears and eyes from people you love and people who love you • the smell of rain on a street or meadow and the creativity I have when it rains
I was just about to type the same thing! Although I have tens of lists in tens of different notebooks because I fill them up so fast with my strange ideas. But it's comforting to know one isn't alone in thinking about these things :D
watching the first snow of the year fall down. as a kid, you run outside and stick your tongue out to see what the snow tastes like. you're fascinated by the way it melts but you soon learn snow is just water but very cold.
Sitting in a comfy chair with a blanket around you and a mug of hot chocolate/ tea while the snow quietly falls outside and everything in quiet and serene
Recently I’ve been feeling depressed and on the verge of suicide, hearing this and seeing my genuine favourite TH-camr talk about really nostalgic things makes me feel really happy. I wish I could meet you and thank you.
So you know when you hear something so much it kinda starts to lose meaning, well for me its the phrase "you are valid" since all my beautiful internet friends and i literally use it all the time (maybe too much) by somehow, i don't know how but somehow when you said it at the end of this video, it felt new and fresh and so purely genuine that now I'm crying.....so rip me but also thank you ツ
I actually can see your point, I use those words too much in my life and so do my friends online so to hear Pj say it with such a genuine tone, made me feel like it has some meaning to it again. some true meaning.
These are my favorite things to be grateful for right now: How glorious it is to have access to indoor plumbing The way that Billy joel says "grocery store" in Movin' Out (maybe thats too niche but look it up and smile with me) The fact that we live in a time where ~seedless~ grapes exist The fact that there is a version of the world made specifically to be seen -just- by your eyes
@@hanamaruposa1044 idk, I never tried sweet potato fries (i tried mashed sweet potato though) so i dunno in what way the taste differs from regular fries
@@user-ez3ly4wv5g it's the same difference between mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes but honestly pretty similar one is just a little more caramely
It did help. I've been having this low level background kind of sinking and slowly knotting sensation in my stomach all day, gradually tightening and dragging my throat down with it. I clicked on this video thinking 'You better deliver PJ...' You did. With every sentence my shoulders slipped away from my ears and my breaths grew longer. My stomach loosened its grip on my airways. You delivered.
thank you, pj. not only is your voice soothing as heck but this is legitimately helpful and I know I’ll be saving this video to return to whenever I feel uneasy or need to calm down. everything you make, even such a simple video as this, is beautiful!
Hearing the bit about being asleep on car rides home and my dad and being small enough to be picked up. That got me. A lot. Story but tldr: my dad has MS and is quite weak compared to what he was when I was small and I'm pretty much grown now (nearly 24). So to hear this... made me feel a warmth I've forgotten. I really needed that. Thank you.

things i remembered about my dad from this video
* the time he got a new dog, his name is Mack. when he got him, i was about 5. being the small child i was, and the big german shepherd scared me. i climbed on the old, grey couch as an attempt to get away from the big beast. my dad chuckled, saying its alright
* the times i'd draw on the way back home from whereever we'd been on the previous day, the moon finally fallen. the flashes of light from the lightpole things helping occasionally
* the time i pretended to sleep in the car when we got home, him picking me up from my pretend slumber, and me casually falling asleep as he would carry me back

*skinning your knee as a kid and then you parents caring for it while you feet dangle off the chair
*similarly, your parents kissing the place where you got hurt and it magically feeling better
*sitting in a parked car with a loved one just talking and making jokes at night
*showing someone art you’ve made that you’re not proud of but that person genius praising it like it’s the best thing they’ve ever seen
*secretly trading pokémon cards at recess so that the teachers couldn’t see
*playing dress up in your parents clothing as a kid and pretending to be them
*listening to a song you’ve heard a thousand times but for some reason this time it feels different and new again and you just connect with it
*that random smell that reminds you of your childhood
that’s all. have a good day :)
the pokemon card one hits home
i heard this all in pj's voice, this is amazing
your voice is perfect for this. please do more of u just talking , or even do like a small calming podcast once in a while. thank u for this, i definitely needed this.
I don't think I've ever actually commented on one of your videos before but I HAVE to say... your voice is the most soothing thing and I thought this would be a joke but it actually made me feel so many feels and now I feel warm and good. Thanks for that.
IKR!! IT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL B E T T E R
yess I couldn't put it into words but you described it perfectly! ^.^
I still pretend to be asleep sometimes when I hear my mom come to my bed and usually she'll run her hand over my forehead or through my hair thinking I'm sleeping.... there's still that child in me.
Thank you PJ for this beautiful video. You really calmed my anxiety and I'm feeling at ease. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
That is seriously so sweet. I moved out some time ago and I miss having my mom open my bedroom door sometimes just to check on me at night. 😢😭
@@storyworldofem Thank you, your comment was so warm! I can understand it just sucks to be away from our parents but we eventually have to deal with it but thankfully the memories are always there❤
@@Namxta Aaw, you're welcome! It's a necessary part of growing up (if growing up is actually a real thing... many of these "adults" I meet are just big toddlers...). And my parents do appreciate it a lot when I call them just to say very random things :)
@@storyworldofem yes, some of us don't grow mentally... But yeah, it's the same with me, I'll just go to my mom while she's doing stuff just to be in her presence. It's a bliss to have as a adult!
@@Namxta That's so lovely. I'm going to my parents' house for Christmas so I'll be doing the same thing there :D
this video used to be such a huge comfort to me when it first came out, i just rediscovered it and it still makes me feel the same way
i’m the same, i always come back to it
The words themselves didn't matter much to me, but the soft determination they were said in was everything.
yeah me too. Specially cause I didn't understand half of it. I'm Brazilian
I was having a panic attack and my friend sent me this video. It helped a lot 💓
Alrighty Aphrodite okay I know this is going to sound extremely weird but I found your comment then I realised who you were! I’m freddieluvstom on Instagram and I think it’s so cool I found your comment 😂💓 sorry I just thought I’d point it out aha
This feels like a warm blanket on a winter evening, like a hug.
Aahh I love that. All of his videos are seriously like hugs.
wait, my body just actually relaxed for the first time in a long time
To the person scrolling through the comments...
You are valid, you are loved, you are unique. Don't change a thing about yourself to appeal to others. You are beautiful!
The Cooking K's Thank you, it means a lot :)
aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww
thank you!
Awe thnx
If you saw me you would change your mind
Please do an ASMR of you just saying serendipity for an hour
Omg yes.
My mom carrying me to my bed from the car was my favorite
I used to pretend I was asleep so she would carry me like he said in the video. haha simple times! 😊
He said dad and also if he said mom it would be mum
m o r g a n b a r r I know he said dad, but it was my mom who brought me into the house from the car.
Same!!! I would of course wake up seconds from my house so I would pretend even if it wasn't believeable just so I didn't have to move.
I want to add a few personal things:
• cats. Just cuddly cats
• being outside and having fun with my best friend who I might see again soon after weeks
• watching something with my friends and them putting their heads onto my shoulders since I'm the tallest of the group
• little things like drawings, words, handcrafted stuff, meant for your ears and eyes from people you love and people who love you
• the smell of rain on a street or meadow and the creativity I have when it rains
0:39 "dogs exist"
Thank you, that is all I wanted to hear.
It’s kinda amazing that I also have a list in my notebook titled “Things I Like” and you named almost everything on that list.
I was just about to type the same thing! Although I have tens of lists in tens of different notebooks because I fill them up so fast with my strange ideas. But it's comforting to know one isn't alone in thinking about these things :D
Ooh... This is ASMR
The sweet potato one is legitimately my favorite and the most comforting
Making the first footprint on freshly fallen snow, hearing the crunch beneath your foot
watching the first snow of the year fall down. as a kid, you run outside and stick your tongue out to see what the snow tastes like. you're fascinated by the way it melts but you soon learn snow is just water but very cold.
Sitting in a comfy chair with a blanket around you and a mug of hot chocolate/ tea while the snow quietly falls outside and everything in quiet and serene
Recently I’ve been feeling depressed and on the verge of suicide, hearing this and seeing my genuine favourite TH-camr talk about really nostalgic things makes me feel really happy. I wish I could meet you and thank you.
Stay strong. It's worth it. 🌌
Amika Zoja thank you
Tom Gough hope you get throught it. Stay strong
Hey man I hope you get better, I'm with you
hang in there. I hope you feel better
So you know when you hear something so much it kinda starts to lose meaning, well for me its the phrase "you are valid" since all my beautiful internet friends and i literally use it all the time (maybe too much) by somehow, i don't know how but somehow when you said it at the end of this video, it felt new and fresh and so purely genuine that now I'm crying.....so rip me but also thank you ツ
I actually can see your point, I use those words too much in my life and so do my friends online so to hear Pj say it with such a genuine tone, made me feel like it has some meaning to it again. some true meaning.
Does anyone else come back to this video all the time, its just so comforting! I want to create content just like you PJ
My anxiety has been slowly getting worse recently and this video is beautiful and amazingly calm
I feel like I just need to listen to this like 5 times a day and my mental health will go way up
Im glad someone else loves the word Serendipity as much as I do. its just a fun word to say. like persnickety.
Personally, I like defenstration. And autodefenstration.
Idk why but me and my friend love how the word “las mathematicas” in Spanish sounds
I like photosynthesis
I love the word serendipity
These are my favorite things to be grateful for right now:
How glorious it is to have access to indoor plumbing
The way that Billy joel says "grocery store" in Movin' Out (maybe thats too niche but look it up and smile with me)
The fact that we live in a time where ~seedless~ grapes exist
The fact that there is a version of the world made specifically to be seen -just- by your eyes
Personally, I like the way he sings “medical center”
comforting things to hear when you’re feeling uneasy: PJ in this and any video
You are such a lovely human being.
This is legit going straight into my ASMR playlist
I accidentally read this as “Comforting things to wear when you’re feeling uneasy” so this was quite the twist
That was really wholesome, and surprisingly just what I needed.
peej is the most amazing person to ever live in the universe. i love him so bad
I'm not crying, you are
yes i am and what about it
You're right, I am🤷♀️
no no no. i too care about sweet potato fries deeply. thank you.
hanamaruposa i agree
i have no idea what the difference between sweet potato fries and normal fries is
@@user-ez3ly4wv5g wdym one is made of sweet potato and tastes a little sweet and the other is just potato
@@hanamaruposa1044 idk, I never tried sweet potato fries (i tried mashed sweet potato though) so i dunno in what way the taste differs from regular fries
@@user-ez3ly4wv5g it's the same difference between mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes but honestly pretty similar one is just a little more caramely
this is just a very fluffy and warm blanket but in video form. i love it.
It did help. I've been having this low level background kind of sinking and slowly knotting sensation in my stomach all day, gradually tightening and dragging my throat down with it. I clicked on this video thinking 'You better deliver PJ...'
You did. With every sentence my shoulders slipped away from my ears and my breaths grew longer. My stomach loosened its grip on my airways. You delivered.
I know that feeling. And he helped me calm down too. yay : )
I love the internet. It’s comforting me with comfortable memories that we all seem to share
bless your lovely soul
thank you, pj. not only is your voice soothing as heck but this is legitimately helpful and I know I’ll be saving this video to return to whenever I feel uneasy or need to calm down. everything you make, even such a simple video as this, is beautiful!
Stay strong and im on the same uneasy path with you too....but this video makes me feel a lot better...and i too want to meet him to thank him too :,)
pepsiairplane Lemon thank you, the same to you!!
This actually came at a perfect time I was having the worst day but thank you this was so soothing 💗
hope your day gets better xx
Katie Revell thank you :)
This NEEDS to be made into ASMR it’s just too fast and busy for my slow little brain to process 😩
😂😂
put it at .75x it's very relaxing
Hearing the bit about being asleep on car rides home and my dad and being small enough to be picked up. That got me. A lot.
Story but tldr: my dad has MS and is quite weak compared to what he was when I was small and I'm pretty much grown now (nearly 24). So to hear this... made me feel a warmth I've forgotten. I really needed that. Thank you.
it would be an honour to listen to this again if you were to create another one..... please.. another one...
JUST... THANK YOU, WONDERFUL SIR
i love coming back to this video
Taking your pyjamas or school uniform off the radiator and putting them on in winter.
yEEEEeereErRRS feels so good and warm nd smells like dirty heater but yeEs
(i meant like the school heaters. didnt read it properly whOps)
I didn't realise how comforting these things were until I was reminded of them. Thank ya Peej!
That little "you are valid" was really healing actually
as someone who struggles with ptsd, this is very comforting
This is so soothing?? It makes me happy-sad. Also nostalgic. And calm. I'm confused but I want more. Please make it a series
