“These people were real, they existed” obviously that’s true but it just felt so odd to really think of that, these people are real and now they don’t exist, it’s just so weird.
Watching old movies and shows give me a chill when I think about the reality that everyone I'm looking at is no longer alive. It's like looking at a ghost.
This one really hit, the street me and my friends all grew up on as kids backed up to a small patch of woods a few acres big with a little stream that ran through and an old abandoned house in the middle and a long forgotten concrete drainage ditch. When we were kids we would play back there and we could be anything, do anything. The stream was a raging river, the forest was a thousand square miles, the abandoned house was a haunted mansion, the ditch was a fortress. And now, it’s all been bulldozed for new town homes 😔 I wish so bad I had pictures of that place, but it only lives in our memory now
Man I feel every word of that, it's a little crushing going through the town I grew up in now, the places I spent those summers with my friends climbing trees and fishing mearly parking lots and rich people housing now for summer homes they rarely visit...
the country club photo perfectly encapsulates a happy memory, it’s beautiful, shining like a childhood summer day, yet blurred, oversaturated, and just barely out of reach 💔 love your videos
I’ve been watching for some time now and I’ve gotta say you make some of the best constructed videos on RUclips. It’s kind of rare to find a RUclipsr as mature and well articulated as you nowadays. Super underrated man.
This is one of the most beautiful videos i have watched. Something touched me when you described your diary from childhood. I dont write much, but knowing everything that I write or create was not produced by me, but who I was, and that it'll never be able to be created by that me ever again.
Something I wonder often is if anyone will see my old sketchbooks. And, I wonder if my art captured who I was then. I wonder if that kindergartner who wanted to be like her mom will be remembered. That second grader who spent half her time in a conference room alone. That middle schooler who drew more than they studied. freshman who was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the highschool. That sophomore who started to notice the story in every blade of grass. The junior whose world was rocked by Hashimoto's disease. I wonder if she's remembered. If they're remembered. If he's remembered.
RUclips Algorithm recommended a good one!! Instant subscribe!! I love the amount of love and passion you emit through your voice and editing. You are amazing!! I’ll be watching the rest of your videos whenever I have free time!! Thank you!! 😊
I love your videos. I've been pretty existential and nostalgic these past few years, so much has changed. Your essays are a space to deal with questions like this, to allow myself to entertain them. My mother died three years ago. My grandma died not even a week ago. In two days I'm getting married. I often do have a fragile state of mind. I enjoy allowing myself some sadness, because with it comes tenderness and remembering to be human. Suffering has value. But I can't afford to think about it all the time. Paradoxically, the advice "don't think about it" is a pretty good one to dealing with nostalgia and the like. Facts like death and forgetting are realities to be dealt with, but being able, learning to to not be consumed by them is a blessing. I don't write a diary, but sometimes I like to share snippets of my life. Maybe someone will read this. Maybe I will in time. I gotta get back to cleaning. Life is going well.
Incredible video bro, nostalgia is bittersweet, but it’s sometimes more bitter. I’m still learning how to live with that fact, but I’ve accepted that it’s something I will never be able to get over.
It's definitely something that isn't easy to do. I ended up having to make an entire video; feeling through it, talking through it. I would recommend trying your best to move on and be happy going forward in your life!!
Maybe I have just grown more aware of it as I’ve ages but in the recent few years of my life I have experienced a proportionally higer amount of death than when I was younger. Every time this has happened and I have slowly started to get used to the new circumstances I have found myself in, there is this thought that always starts to form in my head. That the person or pet I have lost is someone I will actually never see again. That they are really, totally, truly gone forever. Sure there might be a gravestone marking the place where they are buried but it’s just a stone, it’s not them. Similarly, I can look at photos or videos taken at a moment in time where they were alive but it’s not the real them. It’s just a thing, showing me something that looks like them and I will never actually see thier face or hear thier voice ever again.
I know how you feel this way....And I always see it as more of a reflection or a movie.....And would love to talk to some god who controls time and space, of why things are this way....Much of history is seeing humans, governmental bodies, and people in power using their time and effort on something that, while archived and preserved for many to see, was it really worth going through all these wars, battles of glory, and controlling societies in a way that we are all "mortal beings" that cannot live on forever and ever????.....If so...Then uh, time is not something you care about the most.....But if you do, then it's what you will use the rest of that time to spend on what you like until it's your turn to leave this world behind. Earth, as it is, is only a temporary home for human beings until we either end up in heaven, hell, or somewhere in between. The afterlife on the other hand, is our eternal home, where our souls depart from our avatars or human bodies on earth, to go somewhere else in this abyss, only to end up in your final destination, and eternally have peace, love, safety, and comfort for the rest of your lives....But that's only if you do respect others and try to be as moral as possible that is....... But again.....As I have said to others....Time travelling or a portal ripped open for you to explore that part of time one last time, can definitely bring back memories of what you loved when you were young compared to where you are now.....To be honest, I started to become aware of this as early as 2004/2005. Once 2005 came around, things weren't the same as I used to back in the late 90s early 2000s, and I've gone through already three shifts of culture change in america to where it got worse than better over the past 20 years.....But on the other hand, there's always another place I can go to and have fun or spend time watching/listening to videos or music without having to feel nostalgic.... It only becomes nostalgic when you don't have the item or the things you like, including pets, in your arsenal/ownership anymore...
8:05 A RUclipsr in my country once mentioned how his school was torn down so that the gov could build a senate building in its place. It must have been so melancholy for him.
I keep several journals; you're absolutely right about "picking it up and never stopping". I don't know why I never quit, but I document almost everything, and have documented them since I suffered a major head injury in 2013. I currently have two pocket notebooks entirely filled, am working on a third, but I have a funny anecdote... I've lost all of them, except those three. And it's inevitable that I'll lose these three at some point. I can only hope that the people that find them will find solace in my words, realize that these seasons of their lives are universal. It makes me feel a little better, and it's been a very powerful lesson in simply "letting go". For me, I think the very act of writing was far more important than the act of remembering.
This video reminded me about the hero of time, or link from ocarina of time. In twilight princess, the hero of time is now a skeleton and is called the heros shade. Nobody remembers the feats he did in either ocarina of time or in majoras mask. He says in the game that he wanted to pass down sword techniques and his legacy. Its sad for a legendary character.
How many more times in your life will you go back and watch that movie, read that book or play that game you loved? How many more times will you reminisce with your parents about that holiday you all took when you were a kid? Maybe that’s the choice we get when we die… to move on or to come back and do it all again. One last time.
As always: Fantastic work. Thank you for sharing Season - It is, hands down, one of my all-time favorite games, and I think more people need to know about it.
Another thought provoking video. I have never indulged in media that has connected to me so much as the videos on this channel. I have a vivid memory, a video memory. Back in 2015 when I was in year 5, our student teacher (who was studying film at the time) made a short compilation of our whole class, showcasing random events and short questionings with each person. Back then, we all thought it was just cool to be on video. This DVD was lost to time until last year when I found it while cleaning out some old school stuff. I watched it, the whole 15 minutes. I could remember each individual moment, each person and how those two things combined made me feel. I knew these people, but I don't anymore. These children don't exist anymore, they are just frozen in time now and I am forever grateful that our student teacher did that for us. I still live close to my primary school, but every now and then I pass it and really just, think. As I look at the classrooms and the oval, I vision my younger self running around with others that no longer exist. My younger self doesn't exist anymore either, yet I still feel a strong connection between him and me. When I went on school camps back in primary school, my parents would give me those disposable Kodak film cameras that had about 40 photos worth. Even as a kid who photographed anything he saw, these images hold much more value than the millions of photos I take today with my phone. I tend to vividly remember completely random and seemingly unimportant events such as , or remembering where I sat in every classroom, right from kindergarten, all the way to year 12.
this video hit me very hard. i did an art project this past spring all based around memories. I tried to recreate scenes from my memories, but with specifically using stock photos i found online. i would print the image in black and white, cut out the object i wanted to use, then color it using watercolor paints. then i would attach it to a solid grey paper, and build a scene that way. by the end of the school semester i was just happy to be done and not have to keep turning in assignments. but thinking about the project now i remember how nice it was to sit and hold a memory in my mind and try to identify specific things to put in the scene. and the act of creating the physical image changed the way i remember those memories, and i knew that ahead of time. i wrote artist statements about how i accepted that my memories would never be the same. but it was worth it because i enjoyed the process and i now have a physical object to look at in the future, when the memory would have been even more faded. do you conceptualize your drawings the same way? by drawing the scene you're inherently altering how you remember it. theres definitely a different in how long of a time between the event happening and documenting it. i was recreating scenes from early childhood or a few monts before at the most recent. sorry for the long comment, your video got me thinking and i had a lot to reminisce about
I listened to this video as I went out for a run near sunset. Looking at the gradient between the day blue and the giant sunset orange gave me so much nostalgia. Thanks for the video man, you're one of the best creators on the platform.
great vid, probably my favourite so far. your writing and storytelling and ideas have really improved since the first vid of yours i watched, keep it up 👍🏻
I wish we would have photography and videos 100 years earlier. Imagine seeing pictures of the American revolution or the French revolution. And so much more.
On one of the worst days of my life I snapped a photo with my Fujifilm XT3 that I had intentionally set up with a 2 GB memory card forcing a hundred or so shot limit to the number of photos I could take. The photo is hazy and overexposed. It's hauntingly beautiful. It's a park bench at a lovely little spot and I was there because he had spent over an hour screaming at me angrily and I had to get out of the house. I don't remember anything he said, I only remember the panic phone call trying to get help and this photo. Such peace and serenity in such a hellish place in my life and I will cherish that photo for forever because even in the darkest of places I found beauty.
I’ve always felt the need to remember who I was from a certain point. I’ve always journaled, and still am. And I think it’s so interesting how you say that your journals were written by someone else bc I also feel this way. I feel like I’m so different from who I was as a young child. It’s an interesting feeling.
Speaking of remembering, I’d like to remember this. People get a notification once their comment gets a like or reply, so go ahead! This masterpiece won’t be forgotten. Not for a while, at least. Not by me.
I have this fear, this feeling of being nothing, and dont mean anything at all. Being forgotten like i never existed at all, it makes me depressed, but i know it will happen, im not an important person, nor i do anything relevant, i know i will die and in a couple of years, my name will be barely part of history. I know my fear is stupid, idk, sorry, i just wanted to say something
13:29 Your story reminds me of an experience I had. One night in 2016 or 2017, I was wandering around with some friends in the downtown of our city, looking for something to do. While crossing a bridge, we saw something laying on the sidewalk. It was a Polaroid camera - and it had a few photos left on it. Our mission became clear: we had to use these precious few pictures to document the most interesting and strange things our city had to offer. We wandered for hours looking for the perfect pictures. Odd buildings, confusing street signs - at one point we attempted to take a selfie with a car at a stoplight because it had a weird decal on its door. Of course, we had smart phones. We could have taken thousands of pictures between the three of us. But there was something about the finite nature of these physical pictures that made them feel more special. And that night became a great memory for me. Thanks for reading.
Here I am again, giving myself existential dread once again. 😅😅 Ah, those would the memories to remember! 🥰🥰 Or maybe not to remember...😓😓 Amazing video by the way, as always. Love your way of telling about things.♥
This video reminds me of the Futurama episode where bender becomes a pharaoh and builds a massive statue of himself that breaths fire and chants “REMEMBER ME. REMEMBER ME…” 😂
I really like the point of experiencing the present. During the summer my family went on a 2 day trip to some mountain in Mexico and I wanted to record everything on my phone, but it broke on the 1st day. Although I was a bit disappointed, I can remember better what happened after it broke than what happened when I tried to record the trip with it.
A truly amazing video it was worth the wait idk when and ik I'll froget me even typing this but ik myself and ik I'll come bsck and watch this video and come back and look for dis comment one two or five months from now I'll watch this and remember
It may not be a lot, but I'll save your comment and this video to the internet archive if you'd like. That way your passion and hope to be remembered won't be lost
If you wish to be remembered, then you have to either, 1. Tell someone to archive what you have said or done in your life, or 2. You write your own autobiography (like I usually do), to let people know what I used to do in the past, as well as up until the day I die, without any alterations or filters included, and based on what you can remember as much as possible of your past life.....Otherwise, Only God and the one who created you as a man or woman is the only one who remembers. But if god won't remember it, then the universe will, even if humans aren't there in the first place.
i really need to play this game now- i identify with wanting to record everything, but not out of a fear of forgetting about it- but moreso wanting to have some piece of trash represented, noticed, seen by someone else, since i so rarely see them represented i think this game would be perfect for me, since i so often stop on my bike to look at a thing i just passed on the sidewalk, or i stop while walking - and i confess, i too recorded conversations the cringe alert was cringer than the notes from childhood like, those aint cringe at all!! those're perfect!! be cringe be free because cringe doesnt exist!! the only people who worry bout cringe are often those who could accuse others of cringe and thats saddening " i was 8 years old dont judge me " i will judge because of this comment, not the drawings and notes things of the past are proofs that we can get to here and now and are proofs of change what scares me is to think that people destroy them to think those beautiful drawings couldve been destroyed on a whim of deeming it "embarrassing", the most beautiful things in the world i regret deleting some of the art videos i did when younger, i dont even remember why i deleted em my immediate reaction upon hearing you ripped out the pages was "WHY" but then i realized thats a memory in its own way and it brought you into the here and now, i think im kind of closer to getting this
You're Channel has to be remembered forever. The things you say will never be not true. What an ironny that this comment will drown in the masses when 20.000 other people comment on it. Even I wont remember writing this on my Couch in Wiesbaden, Germany in a couple days, weeks or month. Life is so weird.
I'll forget this video, but the inspiration (and maybe free therapy) that I got from this will mark me, stronger than a memory.

“These people were real, they existed” obviously that’s true but it just felt so odd to really think of that, these people are real and now they don’t exist, it’s just so weird.
AGREED. It’s actually so freaky to think about….. we should all just enjoy our time here, and our opportunity to live life.
Watching old movies and shows give me a chill when I think about the reality that everyone I'm looking at is no longer alive. It's like looking at a ghost.

"Diary of a remembered kid" 🥲
This one really hit, the street me and my friends all grew up on as kids backed up to a small patch of woods a few acres big with a little stream that ran through and an old abandoned house in the middle and a long forgotten concrete drainage ditch. When we were kids we would play back there and we could be anything, do anything. The stream was a raging river, the forest was a thousand square miles, the abandoned house was a haunted mansion, the ditch was a fortress. And now, it’s all been bulldozed for new town homes 😔 I wish so bad I had pictures of that place, but it only lives in our memory now
Man I feel every word of that, it's a little crushing going through the town I grew up in now, the places I spent those summers with my friends climbing trees and fishing mearly parking lots and rich people housing now for summer homes they rarely visit...
the country club photo perfectly encapsulates a happy memory, it’s beautiful, shining like a childhood summer day, yet blurred, oversaturated, and just barely out of reach 💔 love your videos

Do you remember what the meal was?

Everything matters when beside nothing.
This is why I will never get rid of my old artwork, no matter how poorly it lives up to my standards today.
I may just be exhausted but this is one of the most beautiful video essays that I have ever watched. And all I do on RUclips is watch video essays
This is one of the most beautiful videos i have watched. Something touched me when you described your diary from childhood. I dont write much, but knowing everything that I write or create was not produced by me, but who I was, and that it'll never be able to be created by that me ever again.

Incredible video bro, nostalgia is bittersweet, but it’s sometimes more bitter. I’m still learning how to live with that fact, but I’ve accepted that it’s something I will never be able to get over.
It's definitely something that isn't easy to do. I ended up having to make an entire video; feeling through it, talking through it. I would recommend trying your best to move on and be happy going forward in your life!!

"The present is the present, the future will be the present someday, but the past will never be the present again."

really good. can't finish. got existential cold feet.
I’ve always felt the need to remember who I was from a certain point. I’ve always journaled, and still am. And I think it’s so interesting how you say that your journals were written by someone else bc I also feel this way. I feel like I’m so different from who I was as a young child. It’s an interesting feeling.

really enjoyed the story about the polaroid.
Outer wilds soundtrack during the journal section is amazing
1 view, uploaded 20 seconds ago, never seen this channel. this will be peak (This was absolutely peak)
even the bad memories I hold onto dearly, cause that's me. one day you might forget, one day no one will remember what you remember.
Amazing. Thank you for this video.
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your memories with us.
ok now I want a polaroid lmao... it is actually one of your best, as you said. very interesting topic
I hope, in a way, we're remembered by any living being 💙
Speaking of remembering, I’d like to remember this. People get a notification once their comment gets a like or reply, so go ahead! This masterpiece won’t be forgotten. Not for a while, at least. Not by me.
I have this fear, this feeling of being nothing, and dont mean anything at all. Being forgotten like i never existed at all, it makes me depressed, but i know it will happen, im not an important person, nor i do anything relevant, i know i will die and in a couple of years, my name will be barely part of history. I know my fear is stupid, idk, sorry, i just wanted to say something
Luv you 4ever stranger.
yeah we crying with this one
13:29 Your story reminds me of an experience I had.
One night in 2016 or 2017, I was wandering around with some friends in the downtown of our city, looking for something to do.
While crossing a bridge, we saw something laying on the sidewalk. It was a Polaroid camera - and it had a few photos left on it.
Our mission became clear: we had to use these precious few pictures to document the most interesting and strange things our city had to offer. We wandered for hours looking for the perfect pictures. Odd buildings, confusing street signs - at one point we attempted to take a selfie with a car at a stoplight because it had a weird decal on its door.
Of course, we had smart phones. We could have taken thousands of pictures between the three of us. But there was something about the finite nature of these physical pictures that made them feel more special. And that night became a great memory for me.
Thanks for reading.
We used this photograph as research and lecture material in my cinema history courses. I loved this lecture I wish I could have recorded it.
Dude, I’m high. You always manage to make videos on my existential nightmares. Why is now the time I come across your video on my biggest one yet?!
was waitng for this❤❤❤
The fact that your 16 is crazy the quality is insane
The thing with all of this is, in the end, the only thing that truly matters is that you did what you did and shared the experience with others.
Here I am again, giving myself existential dread once again. 😅😅
Ah, those would the memories to remember! 🥰🥰
Or maybe not to remember...😓😓
Amazing video by the way, as always. Love your way of telling about things.♥
Predicting someone's question "what's with those emojis?",
those are for people to notice me and possibly REMEMBER :)
Before Your Eyes speedruns would be funny as to watch
Thank you for posting. I enjoy your content. :-)
I like your videos, my good sir. Kudos to your craft 🫶🌹
This video reminds me of the Futurama episode where bender becomes a pharaoh and builds a massive statue of himself that breaths fire and chants “REMEMBER ME. REMEMBER ME…” 😂
i just remembered that this channel is more than a year old, but aye happy late anniversary
I really like the point of experiencing the present. During the summer my family went on a 2 day trip to some mountain in Mexico and I wanted to record everything on my phone, but it broke on the 1st day. Although I was a bit disappointed, I can remember better what happened after it broke than what happened when I tried to record the trip with it.
Even fictional characters will be forgotten over time.
A truly amazing video it was worth the wait idk when and ik I'll froget me even typing this but ik myself and ik I'll come bsck and watch this video and come back and look for dis comment one two or five months from now I'll watch this and remember
I'll reply so you can remember it even better
Very unfair sub count. Love your videos.
I know how very few people will be remembered but I wish that maybe I can do something special to be remembered, I want to everything I can.
It may not be a lot, but I'll save your comment and this video to the internet archive if you'd like. That way your passion and hope to be remembered won't be lost
@@Lowfe everyone wants to be remembered, even if they don’t say it.
If you wish to be remembered, then you have to either, 1. Tell someone to archive what you have said or done in your life, or 2. You write your own autobiography (like I usually do), to let people know what I used to do in the past, as well as up until the day I die, without any alterations or filters included, and based on what you can remember as much as possible of your past life.....Otherwise, Only God and the one who created you as a man or woman is the only one who remembers. But if god won't remember it, then the universe will, even if humans aren't there in the first place.
i really need to play this game now- i identify with wanting to record everything, but not out of a fear of forgetting about it- but moreso wanting to have some piece of trash represented, noticed, seen by someone else, since i so rarely see them represented
i think this game would be perfect for me, since i so often stop on my bike to look at a thing i just passed on the sidewalk, or i stop while walking - and i confess, i too recorded conversations
the cringe alert was cringer than the notes from childhood like, those aint cringe at all!! those're perfect!! be cringe be free because cringe doesnt exist!!
the only people who worry bout cringe are often those who could accuse others of cringe and thats saddening
" i was 8 years old dont judge me " i will judge because of this comment, not the drawings and notes
things of the past are proofs that we can get to here and now and are proofs of change
what scares me is to think that people destroy them
to think those beautiful drawings couldve been destroyed on a whim of deeming it "embarrassing", the most beautiful things in the world
i regret deleting some of the art videos i did when younger, i dont even remember why i deleted em
my immediate reaction upon hearing you ripped out the pages was "WHY" but then i realized thats a memory in its own way and it brought you into the here and now, i think im kind of closer to getting this
Forgot to remember to forget
after watching this whole video i must confirm that being forgotten is scary ):
This was very deep
uh oh im cryinggg
Omigod pmigod omigod new cresendex upload the month is made
Hell yeah cresendex posted
the best video ever???????????????????
Yup, this is a video, and I will watch it, yup.
I feel like these pictures of your journal scream Sevierville, maybe Gatlinburg, just because cabins.
i like the way you talk funny man 🍃
You're Channel has to be remembered forever. The things you say will never be not true. What an ironny that this comment will drown in the masses when 20.000 other people comment on it. Even I wont remember writing this on my Couch in Wiesbaden, Germany in a couple days, weeks or month.
Life is so weird.
I love you platonically, but I truly love you.
I'm sure that there's at least a possibility that we appear in strangers pictures
65k? Nah. We pushin 1 milli with this one
