I have been diagnosed with Schizoaffective, Depressive Type and I recently got out of treatment after a s******* attempt and your words hit me deeply. That path is never worth it. I'm grateful that I'm still alive today. Thank you for your kind words, I needed to hear them.
@JEAANOOexactly. When I realized the depression i was going through was environmental and genetic, I realized that my reality wasnt exactly real. I inherited my dads depression which made me feel low randomly but that didnt mean I was actually in a bad place. I have everything I need. Im not where I want to be (which, can get frustrating and be considered the environmental reason, which can be changed for the better), but im not where i used to be and things can get better if i just keep going and changing myself
I am currently going through medical retirement from the military after 10 years. Wife dropped a divorce on me a few weeks ago. Life is looking pretty grim right now. That was truly a blessing to hear. Thank you Hollow from the bottom of my heart.
As a mom going through tough times, this video gave me a lot of feelings. From the message of the game, to your kind, caring and uplifting words Hollow. Thank you ♥️ keep up the amazing work that you do.
Hello @MissMaica Whatever tough times you are going through, may you come out on the top and live your dream life. All the best and remember, there's a reason you are here. If there wasn't any, you would have never been born or even died by now. All the best❤
@@LazyDarwin thank you so much for that ♥️ that truly means more than I can explain. I wish nothing but the best for you in your life. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay happy.
And it’s absolutely true. The best advice in the world is to love yourself, focus on yourself and growing as a person, and the right people WILL find you and WILL love you.
16:25 I used to cut my wrist and sometimes would stop eating for a few days. It was really a tough struggle for me since I have no one to reach out to. I attemped to unalive myself once, but thank God it failed. But I've stopped cutting (it's almost 4 years now). And I have to say that your kind words makes me want to cry since nobody ever said that to me, so thank you so much Hollow. You're the best man ❤😊
That´s what people need to hear - time passes by and the hurt will eventualy go away. As you have such a big reach, I appreciate you actually said that! Big respect. And obviously.. great vid!!
What I say to people (you know, the ones that are really deep into a dark place and are absolutely convinced there's no point in going on) is: Okay, if you really do want to off yourself, just remember that there will never be a point where you would find yourself saying "Damn it, I waited too long and now it's too late!" So it's always safe to just put it off another day and give yourself the time to be certain of what you want to do.
I got this quote from a UK rapper named Dave he said on on of his songs Suicide doesn't stop the pain your only moving it it stuck with me and I always remember that when I have suicidal thoughts in the past.
Not at all surprised how Hollow took this game/its message seriously and took several moments to talk to us. I’ve always appreciated how Hollow truly cares about all of us. One of the many reasons why I’ve been watching for so long! Keep killing it, Hollow!
i've always struggled with anxiety and depression for like years and it kills me , it kills me , it makes me hate myself always and makes me feel bad about myself and always not accepting myself and this was a mistake, i tried to reach out and have some help and i found the love of my life and i'm happy now , even tho there's still bad times , because yeah , life is hard , it's so hard and you can't deny it , but you have live on , you have to move and accept the reality and be strong, for hollow , i really thank you so much for being here for me in the hardest days in my life , i've been always alone and i always had you here , your videos made me better, made me smile, happy , thank u hollow , thank u so much. ♡
We all need to support one another on Hollow's channel. As a single parent (my daughter is my world, my inspiration, my everything) and survivor of DV, life certainly has dealt some really tough blows. As time goes on though, new memories can be made and shared. Doesn't mean you forget the ones that hurt you, just makes them less painful as time goes on. Hugs to anyone who may be needing one. Thank you for everything Hollow, you truly are amazing. PS That ending, certainly had me reaching for the tissues
This is a travesty riding on brand recognition. Many indie horror games Hollow played are miles ahead of anything that Bloobers could put out. They are hacks of the industry, apart from visuals their games are stupid, predictable and shallow. If you're interested in true Silent Hill successor look no further than Lost in Vivo.
This game shouldn't have the Silent Hill title on it. It has zero shit to do with Silent Hill. You aren't even in Silent hill to begin with. This is another IP slaughtered by WOKE culture.
As someone who’s been very lonely in the past, and been in situations where I felt like I’d never be able to escape, what Hollow said is 100% true. It ALWAYS gets better. Your body will release happy chemicals, you will grow, people will change, and someone will get you. I am now married and finally at peace in my life, but it matters a lot to hear it from the voice playing in your bedroom everyday. Thank you Hollow 💜
The message you gave during this stream was so important. I’m so glad you took a moment to pause and address that part of the game. This is a why we love Hollow
I wanted to experience the game for myself but you just can't resist watching Hollow playing it. His walkthroughs is just so fun and entertaining, peak entertainment.💯%👌🏼
@@HollowPoiint C’MON LETS GOOOO!!! Love your content Hollow, especially your horror content 😊 also, big respect for you taking a few moments of your time doing this playthrough to talk to your audience and encouraging them to not just to NOT self harm…but also encouraging them to love themselves 😊 looking forward to your future content bro!
As someone who experiences depression and anxiety, I truly loved watching the journey. I shed a few tears!! I really needed to see this. It is so TRUE that there is someone out there who cares for you. There are so many people who have come up to me at my lowest to give me words of encouragement; People I didn't even know. Someone is always watching...And time truly HEALS!!! Today can be your worst day, but tomorrow can make it all better. I live life day-by-day and try not to focus on the future. If I can continue putting one foot in front of the other...right now...I know that I'll end up somewhere far away from the pain and struggles I'm currently going through. Thank you so much for being so transparent Hollow and for letting your followers know that someone out there cares and to take life one day at a time to experience something greater on the other side. :)
this game really hit home in a way for me. I struggled my whole life with depression, therapy, cutting as a kid, drugs etc. Im 29 now, 9 years sober, mental health has flourished the last 4 years, my why is now my kids, thank you hollow for always pushing out such banger content. you da man.
Thank u For what u said during ur video. Ironically kinda been going down a tough road myself and have always turned to u and ur videos to brighten my mood and to hear what u said today really helped so don’t ever forget how much u help people with ur dedication and wisdom. Again thank you for what u have done and continue to do!
Phew! It took me on an emotional rollercoaster. This studio deserves to get a chance for something bigger. After the first 4 Silent Hill games, this particular one has left its mark on me. Good job.
Hey @Hollow I don't want to sound like a bot or anything, just want to genuinely say that your videos are fabulous and enjoyable. Joined this family only a few years back and now its an unbreakable element of my life. You are a very positive person who didn't give up despite so many struggles on RUclips itself. All the best in your future man, may you grow beyond the sky forever!
Hollow is like one of the RUclipsrs you can't stop watching because how good and entertaining his content really is. Plus, his reactions together with his commentaries are priceless af.👌🏼
are you using statistical analysis for that conclusion or did you use deduction? his emotional facial expressions are unknown in value assessment, but if you would approximate a value what would it be? priceless is such a vague metric
This is quite an unexpected video. I've said those words many times to some of my friends when they're in tough times, since I've passed through those "phase" also (survived unexpectedly). But no one said those word to me, maybe because I thought I didn't need those words. Little did I knew that I have been living "happily" and "cheerfully" with these masks while hanging on a couple of threads. This game, it's just a game, but your words is what means a lot~ I just want to say, Thanks Hollow~ Big love!
For anyone with those thoughts or suffers from depression- I’m an “unalive” survivor x2. IT DOES GET BETTER. If I succeeded I would’ve missed the most amazing experiences of my life and those experiences are waiting for you too. And like Hollow said someone out there cares for you. I’m rooting for you ❤
My best friend used to say exactly that! ❤❤❤ He however took his own life about a year ago! Since then, I never say or believe in this. I say that we all are survivors with a bit of fate - good or luck.
The scars remain, the sequels remain. It will never go away, you just forget about it. But it comes back, you won't see it. But it will, once again, hurt something - you or others. It never got better.
thank you for what you said at 15:57. it really meant a lot. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression, and your videos have really helped me to cope. Thank you so much for everything you do Hollow ❤
Going through a rough time lately, this story hit me pretty hard and Silent Hill always seems to come along when I need it most! I feel so bad for kids going through these types of things, it's hard enough as an adult, can't even imagine being young and inexperienced in life having to deal! Thanks for covering this game with such respect, you're a fantastic person who cares about the well being of others, your true personality comes shining through and the world needs more people like you!✌️
This game was so crazy. So deep, man. I was more caught up in the emotional side than the eerie vibes tbh😅Love when Devs tell raw, down to earth stories.
I can’t believe how hard this hit me, I had to stop the video to let it out. What a beautiful message and story, the developers and writers and everyone who was involved in making this game should be really proud of themselves.
Thank you! Hollow. I needed to hear that cause I’m going through so much I’m praying 🤲🏼 it does. 💔💔💔 your channel and your personality is my safe place. I pray it gets better. I’m 34 and I feel like I could not have been prepared enough for this cold world and all that comes with it.
Thank you for the kind deep words at the 16 min mark, self-h@rmer here but coming out stronger, I hope someone who needed to hear it finds strength and hope in it. And yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, don't give up on yourself. The more you hurt or get hurt by others, the more you owe it to yourself to love yourself even more.
your message about there always being someone out there who cares about you really made me tear up. thank you for always consistently uploading amazing content, it really helps to get away from the stress of everyday life, even for a little bit. i hope you and your family have been having a wonderful new year so far:)
Thanks hollow been 6 months of pain but still going strong and your videos specially the horror ones helps alot during these tough times. I pray ya’ll get what you pray for and get through stuff you dont talk about
Thanks man for what you said about the self harm thing I'll admit I did go thru that. August of this past summer I started cutting my wrists because the anxiety, depression an PTSD were just so overwhelming an I thought welp I'd rather pain instead of Fear 24/7... My therapist Kim seen the cuts an she was like nope you need to be watched. So she admitted me to the psych ward in McKessport, just below Pittsburg... man I'll tell you what my Psychitrist an Therapist probably saved my life that day. Also what helped is I stopped drinking a ton of alcohol every night to help me cope. Today was another hard anxiety filled day but i just kept pushing myself I said no I'm not gonna be scared anymore!!!! An did all of the stress relief tricks an calmed myself down... I swear dude it's feels like I have something evil inside me that just loves to fuck with my mental stability. It's still an ongoing process to find out what meds an stuff work for me.. to anyone suffering like I do everyday keep pushing forward!!! It's all we can do! Love y'all! Be safe, stay safe!
from someone who self-harmed and wanted to die for years, and now lives a happy life… there is a light at the end of the tunnel. don’t ever give up and keep trying. healing is a journey and it’s not linear. as long as you try your best every day you will get better and better until the intensity of these feelings are in the distant past. i wish you the best, stay strong, and find a good support system!
Hey man just wanna say I’m proud of you, I don’t know you but from your brief story I’m proud of you for stopping the alcohol knowing it was only a coping mechanism, it takes a very strong person to be in your situation and to overcome it, you’re doing great bud, keep staying strong keep seeking the right help and you’ll get there eventually, one day you’ll sit there and look back and think wow that was a rollercoaster of an episode but I’m glad it’s over, it all builds character. Most of the time People who go through tough times are normally the nicest people. Anyways I just want you to be proud of yourself okay, keep a positive mindset. I believe in you
We are all proud of you dude, please don’t ever quit on yourself. We only get 1 life and we are all here for a purpose. Keep fighting for yourself, the light is there if you keep walking towards it, trust me it will get better. Never be scared to reach out to anyone that can lend you an ear to help you out. We are ALL rooting for you.
The chase scene at 55 minutes is what made me turn this shit off. I love Silent Hill but I passionately hate games where you have to run from enemies. I've died over 10 times here & don't know which direction to run it.
I never cried watching your horror videos Hollow. What you said in the bathroom really made me cry. 😢 That's why you are my favorite! Lots of love Hollow! ❤ thank you for saying those things. Means a lot.
Man hollow spoke to me when he was talking about how life is hard. Ima about to homeless on the 12th due to past due dates in monthly rent and it’s been very hard but that’s why I watch his videos he makes me forget about the bad things and can inspire not just me but many others. Keep being you hollow and always inspire others!
I'm not one to speak but try Jesus bro. You may lose your home here on earth but Christ said His father has many mansions and he's going to make a place for us, if we believe in him, we are saved, and have a home with the God of creation. This is good news indeed. Life is hard, and cold. But God can and will bring you through, if you believe. I've been low. I truly deserve to be low. But God stays bringing me through, because He IS good.
A game with such a strong message, we lose people and go through reality, but we must only move forward and not look back, thank you very much, great game 🙌🏼❤️
I'm saving this video just so I can hear hollow give me a pep talk when I'm barely holding on. 🙏😭 thank u hollow u have no idea how many people needed to hear that.
You're importance of you to your community and everyone watching cannot be underlined enough, Hollow. I'm watching a bunch of your videos for research for a play soon premiering in Europe and you are doing absolutely amazing work. Thank you! And much love to everyone watching. You are not lost, not broken - you are so early in your process. Things will get good. Do good things for you. Build future. Step by step
Been going through a tough mindset and it is what I needed to hear. Everything is great it’s just sometimes, I get to much into my head and it doesn’t seem great. Those words and this video, couldn’t have came at a better time 😊
16:33 not gone lie….crazy I came across this video a day after I cut myself and I must say you have given me more hope than I had before fr and I’m always grateful
thanks for the speech at 15:57 hollow, found you during the worst time in my life. been through alot but im not in control of this current situation and it feels endless but your videos have been a solace in these dark times and its funny how you came into my life randomly during it. i hope to look back at this comment one day in a better place thank you though
I wasn't able to get past the final chase, so I decided to watch a playthrough instead and I am just blown away. I have struggled with mental health issues for years and the ending made me cry. I enjoyed watching this, even if it was just the last part.
Love is the answer to everything in life! Everyone is born in to this world as a precious soul and plays an important part in this thing we call life. It is up to your inner being to decide whether you let the negative thoughts inside of you control you or you can illuminate the darkness and be the light.
I've been going through a tough time recently and thought about self harming for the first time in my life. I felt as though Hollow was talking directly to me at that moment. Thank you Hollow. More than just a gamer, he's a father to all of us.
Loved your little speech regarding depression etc. ive been in a really bad place before and its so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but when you get there you are a stronger and better person for it. Dont let it beat you!
the overall message is amazing. But the whole part about not forcing yourself to fit into groups to be liked or appreciated..I wholeheartedly agree with that. Even though the message at the end was to force yourself to fit into groups. This is fine as long as your aren't forcing yourself into groups just to be liked. Don't think or believe how the group believes just to fit in. Have your own ideas and thoughts. Think for yourself. "Well, my group thinks this or that is bad" - think for yourself, is what the group thinks about this or that ACTUALLY bad? Probably not.
I second everything Hollow said. As someone who went through a lot of shit when I was younger, trust me, it will get better. Reach out for help if you need. Life is too precious.
That's whats a silent hill game is about. The struggle, the pain, the bad time people are going through. Well done for your message as well! That's how a creator should do. Through your work to help and support other people. Amazing job Hollow!!!
P.T was insane not resident evil, silent Hill was the scariest horror game of all time every genre P.T is insane now imagine PlayStation 5 graphics would be insane
I don't have a PS5 so I couldn't have experienced this for myself. I'm honestly very impressed, didn't expect too much. Thanks so much for playing! (Also - I'd say time won't heal wounds. But giving yourself time to face your fears, your pain and insecurities will.)
I know you'll get a ps5 soon and experience it first hand for yourself. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I enjoyed playing this game. It really helped me a bit too especially coming from past and recent experiences with depression and suicidal thoughts.
damn this one really hit hard and close to home. one of the only silent hill adaptations i liked from the growing list of recent ones. i love when you play deep, emotional games like these cause i can really tell you have empathy for the characters. i appreciate the uplifting words as well. love your gameplays always!!!
I’ve been waiting so long for you to get into silent hill. Hollow if you could, please play silent hill 2 the original. It is such a great game with great music, and it has the horror🫡
i tried playing this game but my dumbass forgot silent hill is psychological horror and underestimate my abilities to handle it. I thought my endurance is still the same but I guess I’m not as strong as little me. I mean high school me did pretty well playing silent hill and have no heavy thoughts in her mind. Good for her honestly. So i decide to watch this video. Thank you so much for the video. I definitely don’t have the courage to continue the game by myself. And if I didn’t know the whole stories,the way I understood it would be different. The message won’t be delivered to me. But your video helps and the message the game conveyed is worth it. I’ve been in Maya,Amelie and Anita places at the same time. 2 years ago. Maya,being the third person in the group and feel like she doesn’t belong. Amelie,as someone who hold on to both her close friends. And Anita,the person who thought she was replaceable. I also thought i will lose myself at the end but eventually i see that yesterday wasn’t as important as today and tomorrow. Communication between one is important. This game is amazing. I love it. Thank you again hollow🫡
Appreciate the words of kindness and strength. Truly life and throw some curveballs. But you can get through it. I gave up drinking over three years ago. I went through some horrible times but I got through it. Now I help homeless move to their own apartments.
I did not have much hope for this game going into it and the initial first few moments felt prettt choppy, but wow it was an amazing experience. The story, the design, and the ambience supported by legendary Akiro Yamoaka gives me so much hope for future Silent Hill productions. This was a wonderful experience.
The only problem I seem to have with the game and its message is the lack of subtlety but other than that this seems like a genuinely good Silent Hill game for once
When you were talking about the situation in the bathroom; that was me at 22. When I went to my mom about it, she literally laughed at me and said and I quote, just stop. As if I was somehow an idiot for all of it. So when you said that, I decided to replace what she said with your heart felt wisdom. Somehow it helps me to move on from the pain she gave me that day. I needed to hear that, the way you said it to your audience in such a personal way. Thank you.
@@CrazyWerewolf444 Back at you! Thanks for the much loved and deeply appreciated kindness Crazy Werewolf 444. I'll always know that the struggle is real but, like he said, there are better days ahead. I am surrounded by family now that loves me and things are brighter than ever. I never imagined how much I had to look forward to in the future and I'm so glad I am still here. His words speak so much truth and I'm a living testimony of it. Big hugs from Oregon🤍
As someone who has a bunch of mental health issues and has reached low enough point to be hospitalized for it I appreciate every word you said. Thank you
As someone who has obsessed over silent hill lore for over 20 years I have to clarify that (at least if this game follows the logic of the original team silent games) there is no other dimensions. Silent hill is affected by ancient native American spiritual land. This energy has the miraculous ability to project dreams onto reality. When Alyssa and Charyl lived in silent hill(one and the same) a despicable cult that used pseudo abrahamic religious philosophy tried using Cheryl to birth Satan. This ritual failed and severely hurt Alyssa so in her dreams she had repressed anger and mixed with the symbology of the cult the monsters and imagery of the dream bleeding out onto reality all resulted because of her and her intense emotions. There were dinosaurs moths and butterflys dogs and tortured children these all are from her dreams she used to collect bugs she was into history and she was abused from a young age and her dog had died. If we extrapolate this on a macro scale to all silent hill games each character has a distinct and strong emotional crisis. Their nightmares from their trauma bleed out onto reality. I repeat their NIGHTMARES bleed out ONTO REALITY. it's all in the real world but the spiritual energy warps reality to mimic their emotions. There is no OTHERWORLD and eachtime the dreams start to effect reality is when they have emotional spikes. They dont swap dimensions it all takes place in the same space. Which is why laura can be right next to james as he battles the hospital boss why angela and james can see similar projections in the same room due to james' empathy. Claudia didnt use powers to "change the world" its just that everytime heather interacted with claudia her emotions spiked and on top of the fact heather was pregnant by that point with satan claudia was purposely influencing her negatively to feed into the devil with heathers negative emotions which seem to power up the embryo its why claudia killed harry which supercharged the energy and this is why dreams bled onto reality after every interaction heather had with claudia. This also applies to 4 but in a distinct way walt uses a special ritual to pull people into his dream to complete what is called the 21 sacraments which is a ritual that kills people but saves their dreams and souls. Even in 4 it's not an alternate dimension but in fact all taking place INSIDE Walters dreams. If this game follows the same logic which it does seem to be anita is in fact in the real world but her strong suicidal emotions have her nightmares bleeding onto reality. Ps. The 2006 movie completey botched the games story. There are no witches alyssa is not the devil and she doesnt have special powers that allow her to kill an entire room full of people. There is no coal mines and the fog is a natural component of silent hill but does have metaphorical value because each character that visits silent hill is confused and unsure of ho w to feel about their trauma. Pss. Its also revealing each person has a different theme for their dreams. Alyssa has a boody rusty world james has a moldy and water logged world angela has an organic and burning world eddie has blood and bodies with prison bars everywhere and walter has his victims walk the landscape and vaginal and umbilical chord imagery everywhere. If it was snother dimension that would mean everyone has their own dimension which doesnt make to much sense but if its their dream it is a lot easier to understand. Harry even comments about it being a nightmare bleeding into reality and its all influenced by emotional spikes. 1:20:58 this seems to suggest that if they make sequels this spiritual energy from silent hill is not localized to silent hill but maybe even spreads from silent hill. Is silent hill the first grounds as this energy spreads out. It says the fog obscures your ability to see illusion from reality as if to suggest its following the first four games. I wonder if the other new games like townsend will follow this logic. The original games never expanded on if the fog is the energy itself and the reason a lot of the imagery in silent hill is abrahamic in nature is because of the cult and the towns history but at least from the original games it was the area of the town itself that was a native American ground full of spiritual energy and that sometime after that energy was corrupted maybe because of the war in the 1800 as that's when things seemed to start going downhill 1:40:27 as soon as she reached nosis and overcame her guilt the dream dissipated. It seems they did in fact talk to masahiro and others it's definitely better than the rubbish that came out after 1-4 I'm curious as to where they will go with this "silent hill syndrome" in future installments but I hope they stick closer to the original 4 games. If the energy from silent hill can spread out to Germany I think the world is in big trouble
Well, in this story, it seems to be connected to the Covid pandemic, that also happens there. Knowing how many people were affected by being unable to leave for health, it may have affected somehow. Though, with the points of how Silent Hill works, it is true that it doesn't add up. Though, I checked a Silent Hill map according to the games and you could theoretically assume that the Nightmare World or Silent Hills Power slowly increases. If we take only the games chronically. I'm interested to know what you think having more information than me.
@@luisfrank2734 if we only are talking about the original games 1-4 silent hill was localized only to affect the town. 4 was a special case because Walter performs an extremely complicated ritual with the sole purpose of being with his mother. The idea is to kill 21 people each with their own meaning. The game takes place outside of silent hill ... But there is a reason. Walter was abandoned in the apt complex the game takes place in and he sees the very apt Henry lives in as HIS mother. He creates a secret room and kills himself in that room after hiding it. The reason the characters are effected by silent hill isn't because of the town the reason silent hill is even mentioned is because Walter was an orphan that was taught by the cult in silent hill. So in his dreams he has heavy memories of silent hill. The game largely takes place in Walters dreams. So silent hill isn't actually effecting south Ashfield it's Walter using a special ritual to effect those he has marked to kill in his ritual. So the idea of silent hill spreading it's energy or power isn't backed up by the original games but we know that people can harness that energy to effect people outside of silent hill like Claudia with Heather or Walter with his ritual or James with his letter from Mary the town can pull people to it but EVERY character that is effected by silent hill has a deep history with silent hill james and mary honeymooned there heather is actually alyssa who was born there walter studied under the cult to perform rituals there in wish house orphanage angela was found there after running away when she killed her abusive father eddie ran there after killing a dog harry found himself there because his daughter and all the other characters in 4 were apart of walters ritual so you HAVE to have a STRONG connection to silent hill or at the very least history there to be affected by it. Also the character that found themselves in silent hill by coincidence were bearing heavy trauma think of Angela Eddie and Douglas

Hollow that was such a kind message you gave. I was shocked to see the self harm scene as it could be triggering for those struggling right now, so I’m happy you gave a little speech. I pray for everyone who is watching and going through a dark time right now. There is light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going!
That was well said. I have been here also and addicted to drugs for many years, but Jesus saved me from my darkest times just as he will save any of you who suffer.
Still can believe they dropped this one for free. Reallllly liked it.
Enjoy
Another great video 💪🏼
Uo
More game studio should do this.
They probably figured they owed the community after the crapshow of Silent Hill: Ascension
The sound of the phone was going through playstation controller which is why I'm glad I don't wear headphones
I have been diagnosed with Schizoaffective, Depressive Type and I recently got out of treatment after a s******* attempt and your words hit me deeply. That path is never worth it. I'm grateful that I'm still alive today. Thank you for your kind words, I needed to hear them.
I hope you're doing well
Definitely gotta give a hand to hollow for genuinely caring for his supporters 15:57
I love y’all, fam ❤️🙏🏼
Agree
@JEAANOOexactly. When I realized the depression i was going through was environmental and genetic, I realized that my reality wasnt exactly real. I inherited my dads depression which made me feel low randomly but that didnt mean I was actually in a bad place. I have everything I need. Im not where I want to be (which, can get frustrating and be considered the environmental reason, which can be changed for the better), but im not where i used to be and things can get better if i just keep going and changing myself
@HollowPoiint just found your channel and you seem like a real genuine dude, cheers.
I am currently going through medical retirement from the military after 10 years. Wife dropped a divorce on me a few weeks ago. Life is looking pretty grim right now. That was truly a blessing to hear. Thank you Hollow from the bottom of my heart.
As a mom going through tough times, this video gave me a lot of feelings. From the message of the game, to your kind, caring and uplifting words Hollow. Thank you ♥️ keep up the amazing work that you do.
You got this! We’re rooting for ya

“Somebody out there loves you or will end up loving you if you give yourself the chance.” The SWEETEST words ive ever heard🥹
And it’s absolutely true. The best advice in the world is to love yourself, focus on yourself and growing as a person, and the right people WILL find you and WILL love you.

16:25 I used to cut my wrist and sometimes would stop eating for a few days. It was really a tough struggle for me since I have no one to reach out to. I attemped to unalive myself once, but thank God it failed.
But I've stopped cutting (it's almost 4 years now). And I have to say that your kind words makes me want to cry since nobody ever said that to me, so thank you so much Hollow. You're the best man ❤😊

That´s what people need to hear - time passes by and the hurt will eventualy go away. As you have such a big reach, I appreciate you actually said that! Big respect. And obviously.. great vid!!
What I say to people (you know, the ones that are really deep into a dark place and are absolutely convinced there's no point in going on) is: Okay, if you really do want to off yourself, just remember that there will never be a point where you would find yourself saying "Damn it, I waited too long and now it's too late!" So it's always safe to just put it off another day and give yourself the time to be certain of what you want to do.
Absolutely 🙏🏼
I got this quote from a UK rapper named Dave he said on on of his songs Suicide doesn't stop the pain your only moving it it stuck with me and I always remember that when I have suicidal thoughts in the past.
Time alone doesn't heal
@@blahblahgdp Plus you need care and love
Not at all surprised how Hollow took this game/its message seriously and took several moments to talk to us. I’ve always appreciated how Hollow truly cares about all of us. One of the many reasons why I’ve been watching for so long! Keep killing it, Hollow!
i've always struggled with anxiety and depression for like years and it kills me , it kills me , it makes me hate myself always and makes me feel bad about myself and always not accepting myself and this was a mistake, i tried to reach out and have some help and i found the love of my life and i'm happy now , even tho there's still bad times , because yeah , life is hard , it's so hard and you can't deny it , but you have live on , you have to move and accept the reality and be strong, for hollow , i really thank you so much for being here for me in the hardest days in my life , i've been always alone and i always had you here , your videos made me better, made me smile, happy , thank u hollow , thank u so much. ♡
We all need to support one another on Hollow's channel. As a single parent (my daughter is my world, my inspiration, my everything) and survivor of DV, life certainly has dealt some really tough blows. As time goes on though, new memories can be made and shared. Doesn't mean you forget the ones that hurt you, just makes them less painful as time goes on. Hugs to anyone who may be needing one. Thank you for everything Hollow, you truly are amazing. PS That ending, certainly had me reaching for the tissues
Most people who identify as single moms, are wrongfully holding their children from their father.
It's a cheesy woke garbage walk-a-thon it's NOT silent hill and has nothing to do with it they should remove that from the title!
@@ThatCarGuy1983god bro do you just hate new horror games or something sorry its not the original masterpiece you’re use to 😂
Silent hill has always been one of my favorite franchises ever, glad to see you playing it
This is a travesty riding on brand recognition. Many indie horror games Hollow played are miles ahead of anything that Bloobers could put out. They are hacks of the industry, apart from visuals their games are stupid, predictable and shallow. If you're interested in true Silent Hill successor look no further than Lost in Vivo.
Same here either that or resident evil
@@АлексейЛогинов-ж1цI’m about to play the room or maybe I should go back to that town a look for my missing daughter…. What do you think?
This is an indie knock off using the silent hill name.
This game shouldn't have the Silent Hill title on it. It has zero shit to do with Silent Hill. You aren't even in Silent hill to begin with. This is another IP slaughtered by WOKE culture.
As someone who’s been very lonely in the past, and been in situations where I felt like I’d never be able to escape, what Hollow said is 100% true. It ALWAYS gets better. Your body will release happy chemicals, you will grow, people will change, and someone will get you. I am now married and finally at peace in my life, but it matters a lot to hear it from the voice playing in your bedroom everyday. Thank you Hollow 💜
The message you gave during this stream was so important. I’m so glad you took a moment to pause and address that part of the game. This is a why we love Hollow
Which part
@@wendigo7253I think it's about commenting self "deletion" if you get the jest.

@@HollowPoiint C’MON LETS GOOOO!!! Love your content Hollow, especially your horror content 😊 also, big respect for you taking a few moments of your time doing this playthrough to talk to your audience and encouraging them to not just to NOT self harm…but also encouraging them to love themselves 😊 looking forward to your future content bro!
As someone who experiences depression and anxiety, I truly loved watching the journey. I shed a few tears!! I really needed to see this. It is so TRUE that there is someone out there who cares for you. There are so many people who have come up to me at my lowest to give me words of encouragement; People I didn't even know. Someone is always watching...And time truly HEALS!!! Today can be your worst day, but tomorrow can make it all better. I live life day-by-day and try not to focus on the future. If I can continue putting one foot in front of the other...right now...I know that I'll end up somewhere far away from the pain and struggles I'm currently going through. Thank you so much for being so transparent Hollow and for letting your followers know that someone out there cares and to take life one day at a time to experience something greater on the other side. :)
this game really hit home in a way for me. I struggled my whole life with depression, therapy, cutting as a kid, drugs etc. Im 29 now, 9 years sober, mental health has flourished the last 4 years, my why is now my kids, thank you hollow for always pushing out such banger content. you da man.
Thank u For what u said during ur video. Ironically kinda been going down a tough road myself and have always turned to u and ur videos to brighten my mood and to hear what u said today really helped so don’t ever forget how much u help people with ur dedication and wisdom. Again thank you for what u have done and continue to do!
We are rooting for you bud, never quit. We love you fam,god loves you. 🙏🏼❤️
Phew! It took me on an emotional rollercoaster. This studio deserves to get a chance for something bigger. After the first 4 Silent Hill games, this particular one has left its mark on me. Good job.
Hey @Hollow
I don't want to sound like a bot or anything, just want to genuinely say that your videos are fabulous and enjoyable. Joined this family only a few years back and now its an unbreakable element of my life. You are a very positive person who didn't give up despite so many struggles on RUclips itself.

This is quite an unexpected video. I've said those words many times to some of my friends when they're in tough times, since I've passed through those "phase" also (survived unexpectedly). But no one said those word to me, maybe because I thought I didn't need those words. Little did I knew that I have been living "happily" and "cheerfully" with these masks while hanging on a couple of threads.
This game, it's just a game, but your words is what means a lot~
I just want to say, Thanks Hollow~ Big love!
Hollow should definitely play all of the Silent Hill games! Hands down one of the best horror game series.
16:15 You don't know how much I needed that Hollow, thank you.
For anyone with those thoughts or suffers from depression- I’m an “unalive” survivor x2. IT DOES GET BETTER. If I succeeded I would’ve missed the most amazing experiences of my life and those experiences are waiting for you too. And like Hollow said someone out there cares for you. I’m rooting for you ❤
My best friend used to say exactly that! ❤❤❤
He however took his own life about a year ago! Since then, I never say or believe in this. I say that we all are survivors with a bit of fate - good or luck.
The scars remain, the sequels remain. It will never go away, you just forget about it. But it comes back, you won't see it. But it will, once again, hurt something - you or others. It never got better.
where did this “unalive” saying even originate from anyways..? seems silly lol
@@Handlerhandlerhandlol, that sounds like.. idk, a poem or somethin.
I empathize. With the former, at least.

Going through a rough time lately, this story hit me pretty hard and Silent Hill always seems to come along when I need it most! I feel so bad for kids going through these types of things, it's hard enough as an adult, can't even imagine being young and inexperienced in life having to deal! Thanks for covering this game with such respect, you're a fantastic person who cares about the well being of others, your true personality comes shining through and the world needs more people like you!✌️
This game was so crazy. So deep, man. I was more caught up in the emotional side than the eerie vibes tbh😅Love when Devs tell raw, down to earth stories.
This give me pretty heavy Cry if Fear vibes. I reccomend playing that, it's free on steam. About severe depression and grief.
Sounds super intriguing, I'll have to check it out, thanks! @@COLMUSIC603
I can’t believe how hard this hit me, I had to stop the video to let it out. What a beautiful message and story, the developers and writers and everyone who was involved in making this game should be really proud of themselves.
Thank you! Hollow. I needed to hear that cause I’m going through so much I’m praying 🤲🏼 it does. 💔💔💔 your channel and your personality is my safe place. I pray it gets better. I’m 34 and I feel like I could not have been prepared enough for this cold world and all that comes with it.
everything will be okie it always will be ❤️hope everything goes your way, always here if you need to talk
Thank you for the kind deep words at the 16 min mark, self-h@rmer here but coming out stronger, I hope someone who needed to hear it finds strength and hope in it. And yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, don't give up on yourself. The more you hurt or get hurt by others, the more you owe it to yourself to love yourself even more.
your message about there always being someone out there who cares about you really made me tear up. thank you for always consistently uploading amazing content, it really helps to get away from the stress of everyday life, even for a little bit. i hope you and your family have been having a wonderful new year so far:)
Thanks hollow been 6 months of pain but still going strong and your videos specially the horror ones helps alot during these tough times. I pray ya’ll get what you pray for and get through stuff you dont talk about
Thanks man for what you said about the self harm thing I'll admit I did go thru that. August of this past summer I started cutting my wrists because the anxiety, depression an PTSD were just so overwhelming an I thought welp I'd rather pain instead of Fear 24/7... My therapist Kim seen the cuts an she was like nope you need to be watched. So she admitted me to the psych ward in McKessport, just below Pittsburg... man I'll tell you what my Psychitrist an Therapist probably saved my life that day. Also what helped is I stopped drinking a ton of alcohol every night to help me cope. Today was another hard anxiety filled day but i just kept pushing myself I said no I'm not gonna be scared anymore!!!! An did all of the stress relief tricks an calmed myself down... I swear dude it's feels like I have something evil inside me that just loves to fuck with my mental stability. It's still an ongoing process to find out what meds an stuff work for me.. to anyone suffering like I do everyday keep pushing forward!!! It's all we can do! Love y'all! Be safe, stay safe!
from someone who self-harmed and wanted to die for years, and now lives a happy life… there is a light at the end of the tunnel. don’t ever give up and keep trying. healing is a journey and it’s not linear. as long as you try your best every day you will get better and better until the intensity of these feelings are in the distant past. i wish you the best, stay strong, and find a good support system!
Hey man just wanna say I’m proud of you, I don’t know you but from your brief story I’m proud of you for stopping the alcohol knowing it was only a coping mechanism, it takes a very strong person to be in your situation and to overcome it, you’re doing great bud, keep staying strong keep seeking the right help and you’ll get there eventually, one day you’ll sit there and look back and think wow that was a rollercoaster of an episode but I’m glad it’s over, it all builds character. Most of the time People who go through tough times are normally the nicest people. Anyways I just want you to be proud of yourself okay, keep a positive mindset. I believe in you
^
We are all proud of you dude, please don’t ever quit on yourself. We only get 1 life and we are all here for a purpose. Keep fighting for yourself, the light is there if you keep walking towards it, trust me it will get better. Never be scared to reach out to anyone that can lend you an ear to help you out. We are ALL rooting for you.
You're healed in Jesus' name, and you're in my prayers ❤
The chase scene at 55 minutes is what made me turn this shit off. I love Silent Hill but I passionately hate games where you have to run from enemies. I've died over 10 times here & don't know which direction to run it.
They made no sense too. At random times it shows up and you run through a confusing maze
Bro I died too! I got so frustrated I deleted the darn game.
Wow! Absolutely blew me away this playthrough! Gave me goosebumps, brought me to tears, made me smile...everything. Thanks for playing this Hollow ❤
I never cried watching your horror videos Hollow. What you said in the bathroom really made me cry. 😢 That's why you are my favorite! Lots of love Hollow! ❤ thank you for saying those things. Means a lot.
Excellent game. Excellent message. This was my first hollow video and it was awesome. So glad I found him.
Man hollow spoke to me when he was talking about how life is hard. Ima about to homeless on the 12th due to past due dates in monthly rent and it’s been very hard but that’s why I watch his videos he makes me forget about the bad things and can inspire not just me but many others. Keep being you hollow and always inspire others!
Hopefully you find something soon 🙏
keep strong my man we r here for u
Good luck bro Im praying for you
I'm not one to speak but try Jesus bro. You may lose your home here on earth but Christ said His father has many mansions and he's going to make a place for us, if we believe in him, we are saved, and have a home with the God of creation. This is good news indeed. Life is hard, and cold. But God can and will bring you through, if you believe. I've been low. I truly deserve to be low. But God stays bringing me through, because He IS good.

I wasn't able to get past the final chase, so I decided to watch a playthrough instead and I am just blown away. I have struggled with mental health issues for years and the ending made me cry. I enjoyed watching this, even if it was just the last part.
Love is the answer to everything in life! Everyone is born in to this world as a precious soul and plays an important part in this thing we call life. It is up to your inner being to decide whether you let the negative thoughts inside of you control you or you can illuminate the darkness and be the light.
Thanks for being supportive with your genuine pep talk Hollow, Love you!
Great message Hollow! Life is tough and it seems that’s all it is sometimes but better times are ahead.
I've been going through a tough time recently and thought about self harming for the first time in my life. I felt as though Hollow was talking directly to me at that moment. Thank you Hollow. More than just a gamer, he's a father to all of us.
It's very kind of you to talk about self-harm. I also appreciate you stating it's the Full Game.
Thank you Hollow for showing love, care, and support, always saying the right thing. And, thanks for the game being free, it is a good lesson for us.

There’s more to life than the moment. You are loved. Prayers and strength up to you and everyone struggling 🙏🏾
Loved your little speech regarding depression etc. ive been in a really bad place before and its so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but when you get there you are a stronger and better person for it. Dont let it beat you!
the overall message is amazing. But the whole part about not forcing yourself to fit into groups to be liked or appreciated..I wholeheartedly agree with that. Even though the message at the end was to force yourself to fit into groups. This is fine as long as your aren't forcing yourself into groups just to be liked. Don't think or believe how the group believes just to fit in. Have your own ideas and thoughts. Think for yourself. "Well, my group thinks this or that is bad" - think for yourself, is what the group thinks about this or that ACTUALLY bad? Probably not.
Rely on what is truth. I dont play the "fit in" game with anyone.
I second everything Hollow said. As someone who went through a lot of shit when I was younger, trust me, it will get better. Reach out for help if you need. Life is too precious.
That's whats a silent hill game is about. The struggle, the pain, the bad time people are going through. Well done for your message as well! That's how a creator should do. Through your work to help and support other people. Amazing job Hollow!!!
Still fairly new to your channel and i really appreciate your videos and you and I LOVE silent hill so much
P.T was insane not resident evil, silent Hill was the scariest horror game of all time every genre P.T is insane now imagine PlayStation 5 graphics would be insane
Thank you Hollow! I love the silent hill series so to watch you play is a treat!

You just wait till you see the babe for the first time.
Congratulations are have everything you will ever need, I promise.
Wish you both well ❤
damn this one really hit hard and close to home. one of the only silent hill adaptations i liked from the growing list of recent ones. i love when you play deep, emotional games like these cause i can really tell you have empathy for the characters. i appreciate the uplifting words as well. love your gameplays always!!!
I’ve been waiting so long for you to get into silent hill. Hollow if you could, please play silent hill 2 the original. It is such a great game with great music, and it has the horror🫡
i tried playing this game but my dumbass forgot silent hill is psychological horror and underestimate my abilities to handle it. I thought my endurance is still the same but I guess I’m not as strong as little me. I mean high school me did pretty well playing silent hill and have no heavy thoughts in her mind. Good for her honestly.
So i decide to watch this video. Thank you so much for the video. I definitely don’t have the courage to continue the game by myself. And if I didn’t know the whole stories,the way I understood it would be different. The message won’t be delivered to me. But your video helps and the message the game conveyed is worth it.
I’ve been in Maya,Amelie and Anita places at the same time. 2 years ago. Maya,being the third person in the group and feel like she doesn’t belong. Amelie,as someone who hold on to both her close friends. And Anita,the person who thought she was replaceable. I also thought i will lose myself at the end but eventually i see that yesterday wasn’t as important as today and tomorrow. Communication between one is important. This game is amazing. I love it. Thank you again hollow🫡
That’s why it was free, so anyone could hear its message, who needed to hear it ❤
Thank you for caring brother. A few seconds, a couple words, change lives. Dying breed my friend. Sad but true.
Silent Hill takes it away one more time with this. Didn't plan to cry today but okay..
Appreciate the words of kindness and strength. Truly life and throw some curveballs. But you can get through it. I gave up drinking over three years ago. I went through some horrible times but I got through it. Now I help homeless move to their own apartments.
I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR YOUR GAMEPLAY 💖
I did not have much hope for this game going into it and the initial first few moments felt prettt choppy, but wow it was an amazing experience. The story, the design, and the ambience supported by legendary Akiro Yamoaka gives me so much hope for future Silent Hill productions. This was a wonderful experience.
The only problem I seem to have with the game and its message is the lack of subtlety but other than that this seems like a genuinely good Silent Hill game for once
Appreciate you for leaving a message during such a thing. We dont show ourselves but we Appreciate the kind words.
fun fact: Kettenstadt translate to english from german means "Chain City".
When you were talking about the situation in the bathroom; that was me at 22. When I went to my mom about it, she literally laughed at me and said and I quote, just stop. As if I was somehow an idiot for all of it. So when you said that, I decided to replace what she said with your heart felt wisdom. Somehow it helps me to move on from the pain she gave me that day. I needed to hear that, the way you said it to your audience in such a personal way. Thank you.
I am sorry your mom said that to you but I'm proud of you for keeping it going. You do matter. Sending love to you.

As someone who has a bunch of mental health issues and has reached low enough point to be hospitalized for it I appreciate every word you said. Thank you
As someone who has obsessed over silent hill lore for over 20 years I have to clarify that (at least if this game follows the logic of the original team silent games) there is no other dimensions. Silent hill is affected by ancient native American spiritual land. This energy has the miraculous ability to project dreams onto reality. When Alyssa and Charyl lived in silent hill(one and the same) a despicable cult that used pseudo abrahamic religious philosophy tried using Cheryl to birth Satan. This ritual failed and severely hurt Alyssa so in her dreams she had repressed anger and mixed with the symbology of the cult the monsters and imagery of the dream bleeding out onto reality all resulted because of her and her intense emotions. There were dinosaurs moths and butterflys dogs and tortured children these all are from her dreams she used to collect bugs she was into history and she was abused from a young age and her dog had died. If we extrapolate this on a macro scale to all silent hill games each character has a distinct and strong emotional crisis. Their nightmares from their trauma bleed out onto reality. I repeat their NIGHTMARES bleed out ONTO REALITY. it's all in the real world but the spiritual energy warps reality to mimic their emotions. There is no OTHERWORLD and eachtime the dreams start to effect reality is when they have emotional spikes. They dont swap dimensions it all takes place in the same space. Which is why laura can be right next to james as he battles the hospital boss why angela and james can see similar projections in the same room due to james' empathy. Claudia didnt use powers to "change the world" its just that everytime heather interacted with claudia her emotions spiked and on top of the fact heather was pregnant by that point with satan claudia was purposely influencing her negatively to feed into the devil with heathers negative emotions which seem to power up the embryo its why claudia killed harry which supercharged the energy and this is why dreams bled onto reality after every interaction heather had with claudia. This also applies to 4 but in a distinct way walt uses a special ritual to pull people into his dream to complete what is called the 21 sacraments which is a ritual that kills people but saves their dreams and souls. Even in 4 it's not an alternate dimension but in fact all taking place INSIDE Walters dreams. If this game follows the same logic which it does seem to be anita is in fact in the real world but her strong suicidal emotions have her nightmares bleeding onto reality.
Ps. The 2006 movie completey botched the games story. There are no witches alyssa is not the devil and she doesnt have special powers that allow her to kill an entire room full of people. There is no coal mines and the fog is a natural component of silent hill but does have metaphorical value because each character that visits silent hill is confused and unsure of ho w to feel about their trauma.
Pss. Its also revealing each person has a different theme for their dreams. Alyssa has a boody rusty world james has a moldy and water logged world angela has an organic and burning world eddie has blood and bodies with prison bars everywhere and walter has his victims walk the landscape and vaginal and umbilical chord imagery everywhere. If it was snother dimension that would mean everyone has their own dimension which doesnt make to much sense but if its their dream it is a lot easier to understand. Harry even comments about it being a nightmare bleeding into reality and its all influenced by emotional spikes.
1:20:58 this seems to suggest that if they make sequels this spiritual energy from silent hill is not localized to silent hill but maybe even spreads from silent hill. Is silent hill the first grounds as this energy spreads out.
It says the fog obscures your ability to see illusion from reality as if to suggest its following the first four games. I wonder if the other new games like townsend will follow this logic.
The original games never expanded on if the fog is the energy itself and the reason a lot of the imagery in silent hill is abrahamic in nature is because of the cult and the towns history but at least from the original games it was the area of the town itself that was a native American ground full of spiritual energy and that sometime after that energy was corrupted maybe because of the war in the 1800 as that's when things seemed to start going downhill
1:40:27 as soon as she reached nosis and overcame her guilt the dream dissipated. It seems they did in fact talk to masahiro and others it's definitely better than the rubbish that came out after 1-4 I'm curious as to where they will go with this "silent hill syndrome" in future installments but I hope they stick closer to the original 4 games. If the energy from silent hill can spread out to Germany I think the world is in big trouble
Well, in this story, it seems to be connected to the Covid pandemic, that also happens there. Knowing how many people were affected by being unable to leave for health, it may have affected somehow. Though, with the points of how Silent Hill works, it is true that it doesn't add up. Though, I checked a Silent Hill map according to the games and you could theoretically assume that the Nightmare World or Silent Hills Power slowly increases. If we take only the games chronically. I'm interested to know what you think having more information than me.
@@luisfrank2734 if we only are talking about the original games 1-4 silent hill was localized only to affect the town. 4 was a special case because Walter performs an extremely complicated ritual with the sole purpose of being with his mother. The idea is to kill 21 people each with their own meaning. The game takes place outside of silent hill ... But there is a reason. Walter was abandoned in the apt complex the game takes place in and he sees the very apt Henry lives in as HIS mother. He creates a secret room and kills himself in that room after hiding it. The reason the characters are effected by silent hill isn't because of the town the reason silent hill is even mentioned is because Walter was an orphan that was taught by the cult in silent hill. So in his dreams he has heavy memories of silent hill. The game largely takes place in Walters dreams. So silent hill isn't actually effecting south Ashfield it's Walter using a special ritual to effect those he has marked to kill in his ritual. So the idea of silent hill spreading it's energy or power isn't backed up by the original games but we know that people can harness that energy to effect people outside of silent hill like Claudia with Heather or Walter with his ritual or James with his letter from Mary the town can pull people to it but EVERY character that is effected by silent hill has a deep history with silent hill james and mary honeymooned there heather is actually alyssa who was born there walter studied under the cult to perform rituals there in wish house orphanage angela was found there after running away when she killed her abusive father eddie ran there after killing a dog harry found himself there because his daughter and all the other characters in 4 were apart of walters ritual so you HAVE to have a STRONG connection to silent hill or at the very least history there to be affected by it.
Also the character that found themselves in silent hill by coincidence were bearing heavy trauma think of Angela Eddie and Douglas

Hollow that was such a kind message you gave. I was shocked to see the self harm scene as it could be triggering for those struggling right now, so I’m happy you gave a little speech. I pray for everyone who is watching and going through a dark time right now. There is light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going!
*Silent Hill is a game we NEED.* I hope they follow through this time.
I will say that I greatly appreciate your message of loving yourself and withstanding the test of time. That in time, you will heal. Thank you.
That was well said. I have been here also and addicted to drugs for many years, but Jesus saved me from my darkest times just as he will save any of you who suffer.
16:17 appreciate the message. Very supportive and genuine ❤️❤️🍀. Love y’all
I’m 11 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Your comment about kids being the best thing ever made me cry lol. Thanks Hollow
Every bad people to have ever existed, murderers, rapist, pedophiles, dictators were once babies/kids.
So no, kids are not the best.
Congrats mama 🥹🩷
