    Story behind the photo of me holding up four fingers looking very angry: I wanted to hold up a peace sign (Saw it in a cartoon. Didn't even know what it meant.) But I was four years old at the time, and my mother insisted that would make people think I was two. So I angrily held up four fingers instead. I honestly wanted to add the actual photo at the end, but sadly could not find it.

      Thank you for sharing this! It is quite an intimate family story.
      I loved the little drawing, though! It was so cute!!
      And I would advise you to keep photos of young people hidden. The internet is not very nice when it comes to children ♡♡

    I dont think ive related to a video this much in a long time. The line "perhaps you were never meant to be human" really hit hard as ive felt that way for a while. Also the part about some things changing and some not as well as not growing out of things. Ive felt for a while that im too chilish because of some things i havent grown out of. This entire video made me feel really validated and im so glad i found it.

    This is so relatable
    I used to spin myself in circles because I liked the dizzy effect on my head.
    I've never really fit with other people, I used to talk a lot but I keep myself quiet now because I don't want to say the wrong thing.
    I've always felt like a mistake, factory defect, out of place - I just could never make the right connections.
    I hope that I'll accept myself more in the future but I feel like giving up on everyone.

    this video isn't just 'relatable' to me. the character drawn looks almost exactly like (a stylized version of) me. these are all thoughts I've had before. this is a summary of my life.
    I don't know how to explain but it feels like you've reached through the screen and touched into my soul. I don't know who you are, but knowing that somewhere, someone in the world made a peice of art that touched me so deeply is a peaceful thought. maybe I'm just up too late and a bit too drunk, I don't know, but this is beautiful. you have created something beautiful to me. thank you.

    "Searching for the missing piece" is a fitting song for that feeling.
    Your art style is absolutely beautiful. I love how grainy and "simple" it is.
    I've also felt like a mistake of the universe. I still feel that way, but it's good that this feeling is not an anomaly. It's something I know others have. Other feel and none of us quite understand ♡

      Over the years the internet helped me realize I wasn't alone, that there were many people out there that feel the way I do.
      And the moment I saw the song's title I went "That's the one!" Thank you so much! 🥰
