    Omg. This is so cool. It just reminds me of how every decision I made in life was the exact opposite of what my heart wanted. But in the end, everything was worth it because it brought me to where I'm today.

    Wooow, I've been struggling with depression, ADHD, heavy procastination etc, and seeing her embracing those sides of her personality and "learning" to control them, going out and see other people who are also seeking that kind of magic, like going to teraphy and move foward or in the process of learning about themselves, makes me feel less lonely and very warm, this is BEAUTIFUL

    I like how when she does something that doesn't match what she wants to do, she splits into different ghosts, and only by gathering up her ghosts is she allowed to leave her house. I like to think that every witch in that world, and even regular people in real life, have to go through this sometimes. It's nice.

    I think you should know this genuinely made me cry. It wasn’t full on sobbing, just more of a gentle laugh accompanied by tears. Maybe it was the colors, the beautiful instrumentals and soft humming, or the message behind it all, but this was so beautiful and I’m genuinely at a loss right now. I think this short animation captures so much in a short amount of time, and does so expertly. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful piece with us. I’m startled by how much it affected me, but in the best kind of way, and I wanted you to know that.

    My mental health is unstable and there would be some months in the year that my state is bad. I went to the doctor and i was diagnosed as a 'borderline' type of an anxiety disorder. Still, even though im in a borderline area, it got me so bad to the point that those days when my mental health is down, my daily life is ruined. My room is a mess, my plants died, I cant sleep until 2am, my body got weaker with constant negative feelings.
    For real, the time passed by like a blink of an eye. Last time you rememeber is when you bought this plant into your house, and the next moment you realize how much time passed by is when you entered your room, saw yourself in the mirror and noticed the dead plants in your room... I cant describe how it felt, but I was breaking down, i felt shocked, i felt numb.
    This video is reflecting my feeling so well, only people who experienced these feelings before will understand how accuracy this animation demonstrates. Amazing work, I cannot tell how grateful I am to wander around in youtube and accidentally click into your video by chance. Thank you.

    If you stay in your house…how will you be around the people you love?

    From start to finish, this animation was perfect. As someone who has and still deals with depression and other mental health issues, I feel so represented by this work. It highlights small accomplishments like getting out of bed or watering plants as significant feats. Even if it's something as simple as getting off your phone, it's still a step towards getting better. The way she acknowledges that she is not perfect by embracing her flaws at the end brought me to tears. Absolutely excellent work.

  • @totallynotacultleader

    Here I am ugly crying at 7:40am :’) for years and still now it is so hard to get out of bed, get off of my phone, get out of my head. But this year I’ve been really trying to change this part of my life, and in therapy I’ve been learning to hold compassion for myself. And for who I used to be. I am audhd and have a whole lot of mental health stuff and so I relate so profoundly of how heavy it is to try and even just get out of bed. I love the progression of one step leading to another, each ghost manages to help themself more than the last. I love the healed and healthy witch who instead of resenting their past selves, has self compassion and shows love to themself. And how carrying that knowledge and love for how far they’ve come, they are able to be their full self and truly appreciate the beauty they have in their life. They have a reason to push themselves out of bed, outside each day. This gives me motivation to keep trying, even when I fail, and always with love and compassion for myself - former and now.

    I was on a music hunt and almost skipped this because it was an animation instead of music, and I am glad I didn’t skip it. It was surprisingly emotional and a very welcome reminder to be more gentle with ourselves without letting ourselves off the hook. She still took them off the bed, couch, avoidant behavior but with love.

I've had some tough times mentally throughout my life and I still do, but nowadays I manage to handle them just like the witch, being more compassionate with myself and learning to embrace the parts of me that may be more challenging or make me feel lost and confused at times. These are all me and I gotta keep navigating life as the whole being I am. Thank you for reminding me of that through this animation.

    I translated that to leaving the bad habits behind, there is time enough for them later. I struggle with those bad habits too, and feeling guilty because of them. It's easy to just sit, but it's better to just get up. Nice video reminder.

    I accidently synced it withh with "Hate me" by Eurielle, it added a sad ethereal note to the over all animation. The animation is really beautiful!

    This morning I decided that I wanted to be productive. When I’m supposed to do something, I will do it (even if I do mot want to). So far I feel great and happy! I highly suggest it! :) ❤❤❤
    This art reminds me of that. You leave a little you behind when doing something, and you bring it with you out and about! Love it sooo much! ❤❤❤

    This really reminds me of embracing your true self and pulling yourself out of self doubt. A really powerful message if you ask me. This is so well animated well done ❤

    I love 2D animation. It elevates the meaning and the feeling of the film. I wish the industry will go back to 2D or we artists will have the ability to make 2D feature films easily … thank you for the amazing short ❤️❤️
