Every year in my birthday i write a letter to my future self and reopen it on the next birthday. I'm so excited for the person I'm becoming so it's my way to communicate with her and tell her that I look up to her and whatever she's going through it'll be alright. I'm so mesmerized by the way you stringed those thoughts in a very poetic way. Absolutely amazing!!!
“did we live our dreams or did we compromise maybe we weren't that stubborn and wasted some of our time rewatching our favourite movie before christmas and taking walks despite our deadlines”
0:30 "do you ever think about the people we are becoming?" Hell yeah but at the same time I'm afraid of discovering who I eventually will become. What if I'm unable to reach my own expectations and end up taking the same road as my parents did? This thought scares me. But I'll let time answer it.
This gives vibes of a follow-up to the poem "the morning after I killed myself", leaving the door open to dialog with ourselves, continuity and the ever after, projecting assumed happiness, naivety and the hope that there's so much out there in the unknown. Amazing composition! Watching this is like facing a mirror more clear than reality itself.
This just made me tear up...... It's just what I wanted to hear today, I've been worrying about my future and how will I end up in it, sometimes I think of my future without me, and I think of disappearing but thankyou so much for this masterpiece, it made me want to live a bit, see my future....
On the quest to self-discovery, one has to be open-minded and become acquainted with many different sources in order to understand the complex fragments of reality. Measuring the components that will fill the void, is how one can eventually come to a deep understanding of existence.
That's a great video. Very thought provoking I've never tought of it from that angle before. I always think that me like 4 years ago was sooo happy and everything was going well, but at the time i don't think i was as happy as i remember. But i never tought that instead of chasing happiness in the future, maybe i should stop and think about how my future self would see me at this moment. My future self would probably see this moment as one of the best times in my life. This is when i met my girlfriend, started getting my life on track and found out i have ADHD which helps me manage my life better. All these great reasons to be happy and excited, yet i don't feel that because i don't stop to think about the present that way. I always imagine what great things i'll have in the future and how happy i'll be then, or how happy i was in the past. But how happy you are in the future, doesn't matter, because once you get there, it will be the present, and you'll never feel happy if you chace the future instead of embracing the here and now. There is nothing except the here and now. The present moment is where great things happen. The present moment is where you will find happiness. You just gotta stop and look at it, instead of looking behind or ahead. Observe what you have around you
It's a beautiful poem. What I love about your poems is your words are always so relatable, writing about the simplest things around us in a very poetic way. And the verses make you think and look inside your heart just to realize what's happening. I love it. Thanks for sharing. ❤️ "Sometimes we forget how delicate beings we are" 🥀
besides the beautiful words being spoken. It is crazy to see the city that I moved to 5 months ago in this video. how now not only the words but also the cinematography gives new perspectives.
when I was a child, my teacher told us to write letters for future selves. She took them all and locked to her locker. Unfortunately, she is not here anymore. But the letters were gone too. Who knows where she put them, but there is a possibility that I will find it sometime. Nothing is impossible. I can barely remember what I wrote, but I can say I was relatively going to the direction I was thinking. Does this mean I accomplished his dreams? Of course, he was a child. He was imagining things very differently. That's what I like abut him. I would LOVE to answer his questions about his future self, even though I know he will not get the answers at his present. But time is relative, and so is perception. This "letter to the future" thing really has to make it into all schools, it is something really heart whelming when it happens. And it is heart whelming when it doesn't happen too. Just, make children imagine about the future 20 years instead of the future exams next week. Nah, who am I kidding. Nobody is gonna read or take this comment seriously at all. But since I put my time into it, I don't want to erase it all. So there you go, I'm gonna publish it. Another letter to the future I guess. Oh wait... you read it? Well, thanks then!
Ayy man it's lit, every upload of yours is worth it, on a serious note thank you for writing this poem and helping me to overcome the bugging thoughts of the future, thank you once again and please keep it up ♥️
"maybe our reasoning is flawed just a tiny bit to keep us going despite the uncertainty" i once decided to stay alive just to pet cats. it might be true. now i'll think about that for the rest of the week.
I search for your poems now after some years.. As I break even more as my wife left me some months ago.. I hate being brought up in a home so broken.. I am broken.. But I hide it.. My heart cries in silent.. The gods know how your poems force me to accept feeling of hurt.. Thank you..
hi I just wrote a poem and I have no one to share it with, and this comment section is a comfort so I'll just leave it here I want to cry when I look into the old eyes of people on the street I am pierced by an icy rain of fear that tells me just be now because once so does someone will look at mine and I will feel a burning pain in my heart after all, once I thought the same that I still have time
I recognized the blue-and-yellow train and immediately thought "What! apparently you guys are Dutch?!" but then I read the caption. Anyway, greetings from the Netherlands, Leiden. Hope you had a nice time here.
it's also on Spotify open.spotify.com/track/75ujRb8cj87fXbvisxBukw?si=820a4380f86346f4
Please, put it on Deezer too.

"If I have the strength to be happy now
I might be happy in the future".❤️
Indeed ❤️
Every year in my birthday i write a letter to my future self and reopen it on the next birthday.

I'm so mesmerized by the way you stringed those thoughts in a very poetic way. Absolutely amazing!!!
Dude you should release them as a book, it would be really cool
@@illneas I totally agree, that would be an excellent book! ;-)
@@illneas OMG i never thought about it. Thanks for the idea.
damn, that's something I'll be doing now
Champagne ready, when is the release? I'd so buy this book!
“did we live our dreams or
did we compromise
maybe we weren't that stubborn
and wasted some of our time
rewatching our favourite movie before christmas
and taking walks despite our deadlines”
Another masterpiece. Thank you.!👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"I hope we didn't take our life too seriously.
Sometimes we forget how delicate beings we are,
Sometimes we forget that time goes by so fast".
"I hope we didn't take our life... Too serious"
Nice touch here... Nice touch
The chills. Oof.
It is so pure .. thankssss for this piece of art
Thank you for watching it
Thanks. Noted.

You control a big part of the answer ❤️

Does't it

This touches my heart as always, thank you!
I'm so glad!

As one grow older , one doesn't think about the future , but much about the past .
besides the beautiful words being spoken. It is crazy to see the city that I moved to 5 months ago in this video. how now not only the words but also the cinematography gives new perspectives.

hi
I just wrote a poem and I have no one to share it with, and this comment section is a comfort
so I'll just leave it here
I want to cry when I look into the old eyes of people on the street
I am pierced by an icy rain of fear that tells me
just be now
because once
so does someone
will look at mine
and I will feel a burning pain in my heart
after all, once
I thought the same
that I still have time
beautiful. 🌼
I hope we didn't take our life too seriously! ✨♥️
Thanks ❤
Love from Kashmir!!🤍
