    I don't have depression, I don't have anxiety. But I do have emotions. Sometimes I want to scream and give up. Everything I do seems pointless. I find myself wondering why, why I'm here. This... this song reminds me. I may not have anyone to talk to. I may be lonely.. but I have nature, I have wild flowers. I have animals. All I need to know is that I made a few people on this earth happier than they would have been without me. And that to me is all that's important. You don't have to cure cancer, or save the whole enviornment, or change the way we live to be important. If you are reading this comment and your having a hard week, or day, or year. Just know that it does get better. And that I may be a sad stranger sitting behind a computer screen but I will always be here. Just remember that you are important. If you feel worthless, think about a time you gave a stranger and compliment, you most likely made them happier than they would have been that day without you. And I may not know you but I hope I've made you happier in this moment than you would have been without me.

      @Hannah Crouch Ah, it can matter.
      Lets artists know shows, films, games, or ads are a good place to promote their music, help it get noticed.
      And there's a nice community spirit, knowing you found this thing the same place and now, listening brings you back.
      That can be comforting and nice.

      ​@@michaelgscott4289 Right now you may feel highly demotivated to o anything, but for things to get better just do it with some blind faith. Its because we are unconsciously doing some fundamental things in our life wrong. Just get your body moving everyday. Do some basic stretching and i would say meditation every day for 15 mins would be the best.It might feel like nothing is changing, but once your body chemistry starts becoming alright, bliss is the only way. Deep within we might know the reason we feel like this, just address all those things we try to forget and remember that our mind is just a garbage bin of this universe. It stores everything that we come in contact with for our use. Not so that we can live in the garbage bin. Keep it at a distance . This distance can come when you start paying attention to the life around us instead of being stuck in the loops of the mind which usually doesn't take us anywhere. It has to get better. :D

    This song makes me see a place far from here; somewhere deep in the forest with rain clouds overhead. The smell of fresh flowers and wet earth filling my senses makes me feel at peace. It's nostalgically pleasing, but it hurts at the same time.
