i love an esoteric joke i do not understand
I’ll take any opportunity to tell anyone about my PhD project against their will.
I thought collagen but that slapps harder
i was literally trying to explain this exact feeling to my friends the other day... the disconnect between my inner experience and how others perceive me, the depersonalisation i feel because of it. thank you for putting it so beautifully into words
You are the one who inspired me to actually write down my first poem, on paper, now i've got over 350 pages of poems, dozens written out, illustrated in splotchy watercolor in the process of making a book, i've spent over a hundred tearful nights purging my thoughts out into words, with confidence that started from a spark of you, so thank you.
amazing! continue!

Do you know and also understand that part, GOD DO LOVE US ALL, BUT ALL WHO LOVE ALSO JUDGE.
For love is meaningless and valueless if no righteous judgment is not found nor given.
“You don't "become" trans, either you are or you aren't. Also, to appear as the gender you perceive yourself as is the goal, trans people know they can't change biologically but they can socially and THAT is what matters. “ - SIRENA.
dear soul, thats only illusion, a confused and usually young soul, made to believe. Not a single part of it is real.
How did mankind come up with the BARBIE DOLL? - they feminized a male.
The devil is always after the young: why`? Cause young minds can be formed by others in ways others may like (others = devil). Older and old souls, have already experienced a lot, learn to know a lot. Manage to see the difference between good and evil. In other words, older generations becomes valueless and useless to devil, cause he can`t no longer form older humans minds in ways only devil finds fit. The less we know and understand, the easier for evil is to manipulate and use us and that what he dose with the youth. The more we know and understand, the harder for devil to deal with us.
Hosea 4:6chapter context similar meaning copy save
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
On this earth, we have been given a childhood and a parenthood, both 20 years long.
Why? so the young minds shall be guided and raised up in care and in love, not letting them to be used and manipulated by the devil. Everyone mates, but where are the parents? Only DEATH frees us from our rolls, but mating ain´t that fatal, it dose not kill us in the next moment/day. Mating is temporary, like all things in this real. Only 30 years (20s - 30s - 40s = a timeline for mating). Human lifetime: 20 years for childhood, and 100 years for adulthood. Sadly we lose our health way too early (in our 50s - 60s). Leaving us with lesser years/time being active adult. Throwing us few years earlier into being old.
60 years for old age, without being healthy? - you all seeing how many years we are losing? 60 YEARS. 120 years given to be alive.
120 - 60 = 50 and lower. We are so hurry to be DEAD, why?
Being “trans” is a lie, that helps to depopulate MANKIND.
@@theharshtruthoutthere oh no, depopulation :o such a problem 🤡

So when you die, and you`re loved ones should not miss you? Feel empty cause you no longer around?
Cause that what you are trying to say with your comment.
When you loved ones die, why you then miss them and cry?
For death is not a problem. After all none of us live anyways. We all only exist.
And someone got killed? how can that be a problem - right? - yet the whole world complains, that being alone is more bad then death? - if everybody around you got killed off - then, dear soul, ALON YOU SHALL BE. Until death takes you.
And after all, you came to be on earth, because there was 2 humans, who made you a place/body to live in.

i've fallen in love with the way you talk. i really really hope to meet someone like you because i've never felt so known, captivated, and thoughtful. ever. thank you for this conversation, truly.
“the past isn’t lost because here it is between us and here we are amongst it” i just talked to my friend about her mother that passed and we talked about every memory i have of her. i think this quote speaks a lot to why that conversation was such a comfort for her
Listening to you ruminate on your collected thoughts, so neatly categorized that I can almost synthesize my own ideas from yours, is so much nicer than thinking myself in insanely tight circles where I never quite reach the end of my ideas. Sharing, ideas creativity and connection, is ultimately that interfacing you mentioned and it is such a lovely thing.
“Consciousness is an island you can never escape nor populate”
I felt that

I feel like I'm in a constant struggle where I want to reflect on life and try to solve problems or confront struggles, but I also want to disassociate and lose myself in the constant motion of existing. your videos help me do the former, and bring me out of my comfort bubble in my own mind where otherwise I would distract myself with something that can deactivate my brain. I wish I could thank you personally but I'd probably have a stroke out of shock if I met you in real life. I genuinely wish you well in a not parasocial weird way
I love these existentialist video essay things you do. Its comforting to be reminded there are other people who have the same thoughts and fears that I do.
I love the existentialist videos, too, but I'm a bit shocked that Savannah managed to talk on consciousness and (the idea of) the self without mentioning the subconscious even once. Or maybe it was implied and it was lost on me? :)
And as much as I wish we were all the same and had the exact same fears and desires, the world has probably never been more divided in the history of mankind. People in the peripheries are being treated like subhumans by the people in the imperial core, my people have been bombed every single day for the past 20+ years. No, we're not living the same lives. And this is a bitter truth of life that few are aware of or even willing to admit.

@@Analysis_Paralysis Because as sickening as it is, here I sit enslaved by my own Imperial government, and lulled to sleep & utter amnesia by Huxley's Brave New World. It's disgusting.

@@Analysis_Paralysis Yeah, Afghanistan. I don't know what to do though. Our entire political and media systems are completely owned... in the realest sense of that word.

obsessed with the way you can say exactly what i'm thinking but in such a beautiful, profound way. i often find myself frustrated feeling like there is a part of myself hidden from myself, a blind spot in my mind that would make everything make sense if i could just see it, and why can't i see it if it's part of me, and what if i never see it? thank you for articulating that. i feel less alone.

i love how that's a totally normal posting schedule but from me it's a blessing
@@savbrown A few minutes of you sharing your thoughts and experiences gives me quite a lot of things to think about. A rewatch or 10 is basically required.
Very happy to have found your channel a few years back. Was good then, but its even better now. Not that I'm some kind of authority on any subject. Just a happy fan who thinks this is helpful.
Hearing someone else talk like this sounds like therapy, I could binge watch these videos for hours.
I honestly don't know how to praise you other than saying that as an artist, I hope to one day make someone feel stuff the way you've made me feel, through my specific craft.
Also, I wish I liked reading. You sound so cool being able to articulate yourself as well as you do. its like you're words mean more, almost like they're being used more right than others'. Can really tell you're experienced at using this specific "tool"
@@thaaabs_ man just start reading ! it's great, you'll love once you're in it
i actually stopped reading after adolescence and it was a mistake, let's just both go at it
@@thaaabs_ Find the words that mean most to you, then start defining them. After elaborating on those ideas you start feeling more of what you speak. There seizes to be a difference between you and your language, just like your mind and body.
Reading always helps you find perspective. But find your own words first.

"if people are just observing and knowing the performance of you, is there something greater inside that they can't know?" sav dont make me cry
I find it funny and interesting that you have a passion for describing this sort of indescribable experience/emotion that we all have as people. I feel like this is why I don't bother too much with lyrics in my music, and also why I always was drawn to making music. I want to know there's people who feel the way I feel, and I want people to know they aren't alone in how they feel. Even if the lyrics are vague, and cryptic, I feel like people still --- feeeeeel what I'm saying.
It never fails to amaze me how eloquently you convey the feelings that propagate my existence, all of our existences I suppose. Every video of yours that I watch has me on the verge of tears. It genuinely baffles me how you elicit such emotion and promote such introspection through your videos. Thankyou for making content that so many of us truly appreciate and adore.
nostalgia as "mass communal identity validation". That's another good one.
I never felt the true weight of the Ship of Theseus until this summer. Leaving my college an undiagnosed depressive addict, then coming back four months later sober and medicated. Reaching an understanding of the ripple effects of my adolescence, and returning to the last semester of my undergrad feeling as if the place I’ve spent the last four years at is entirely foreign. I’m still me, but the chorus of those once friends saying I’m unrecognizable in presence and temperament throw me into a deep pit of depersonalization.
I go to grad school across the country next Fall, and the person I will be once I can fully remove myself from the ghosts of who I was will be even farther removed. I’m better, but I still mourn the parts of me that were left in the past.
Shit I felt that
@@Dani_33 same
the swag is real, im thinkin thoughts (but on a more serious note your vids helped me feel less insane in high school and i needed that at the time. now they are helping me feel more insane, which i need at this point.)

I have never heard nostalgia described in such a precise and beautiful way. Like, it was poetic enough to make me rethink my entire relationship to the concept of nostalgia and to the past itself.
Mind blown. Mission accomplished!
"Consciousness feels ill-equipped to deal with itself." -- Savannah Brown
(Yes, I am going to quote you, because that's an awesome statement).
Your videos are so incredibly engaging. I really appreciate you putting these thoughts out into the aether. Even when life is void of answers, it's comforting to hear other people asking the same questions.
You’d have to give me more time and space to explain just how beautiful and lost that kite poem made me feel
it's SO great right
@@savbrown got that devious smugness
I don't know what's more disappointing, that bill carty wasn't cited in the video or that all of you schmucks don't know how to google.
She didn't even write it.
whenever i try to talk to people about these things they act like i’m insane and don’t feel the same way, or at least with the same intensity. even though it’s a universal experience it doesn’t seem to be something everyone thinks about often. i feel it so deeply, it’s the constant background thought in my head every single day. it’s an obsession. i’m constantly thinking about how i’m trapped in my own head. you describe my experiences so eloquently in a way i never can
also i know there isn’t much evidence behind personality tests, personality is more complex than that etc etc but man i knew you’d be an infp because i am lol
Thank you for both inspiring more intellectual thought than I had planned today and also voicing better than I could. Always good to see/hear you, Savannah.
Memory has always been a difficult one for me. Remembering that i used to remember certain events but now can't...but knowing i used to...really fucks me up. I grew up in a household that constantly said things like "its all in your head", and maybe it was, but it got me into a bad habit of convincing myself that i was just lying. That the emotions i felt, or the sensations, or the memories, were all just things i had convinced myself of but had never really happened. I went through some abuse growing up, and i can barely recall it. But the self harm scars and the memories of my friend are the only things that remind me "this was real". My best friend from 1st grade has been a literal lifesaver for me because each time i begin to question "did i really go through that or is it all in my head?" she is there as witness to everything. The "yes i remember that happening" or "yes i was there and heard that fight" is so validating to me. This flimsy memory has been a major roadblock in me seeking therapy, because I have such a hard time remembering anything but the feelings i felt in those moments. And any memories that do come to the surface feel "not real".
"I would describe myself
like a landscape I’ve studied
at length, in detail;
like a word I’m coming to understand;
like a pitcher I pour from at mealtime;
like my mother’s face;
like a ship that carried me
when the waters raged.”
After finding this channel and watching a bunch of the videos (cuz I do too think in circles) I felt sad about all the wonderful people I’ll never meet and how impossibly small the chances are of meeting someone you deeply connect with and with factors like place & time giving that an even greater scope.
~Or~ I wish I knew you 😂 (not to steal ur thing)
I've thought about this and come to the conclusion that the only way to meet these people you would deeply connect with is by being everywhere you can, as much as you possibly can. Especially if you and said people are introverts. They're kind of like you, so the natural windows to catch them in public are shorter and less frequent than the average person, and the times in which you'd actually be able to connect when crossing paths are even less so. You have to be everywhere, all the time. You have to leave your comfort zone, with this awareness, because most won't realize that awareness. They'll only be out when they'll be out. And you have to take a chance that your intuition is right and they're one of those people when you see them. Because they are like you, and they won't.
you don't need to find them. In the same way that you came across this channel... the only thing you need to do is recognize it when it happens.
as someone who has been in an extended period of loneliness for a while now, i've caught myself falling into the those increasingly individualistic thoughts you mentioned; that i'm the only one who could have ever felt so mind numbingly isolated. last part of the vid was much-needed reality check, thank you. it's nice to know that at least there is a community in loneliness too
Was going to comment something similar, as someone who is also very lonely (especially during and after 2020) and it really is nice to know we’re not alone in our loneliness. It’s so easy to think nobody understands our struggles; and while no single struggle is the exact same, we are all trapped in our own heads and THAT is something we can all shake hands on. It’s a silly paradox.
"maybe you are not your thoughts, but whatever the thing is that possesses the awareness of them" is a quote that is so profound i can't put it into words. i wonder sometimes how there are people who do not enjoy or understand poetry or introspection or the depths of language when words can express things like this
how = exposure + education + inclination.
i adore how you said "this is how everyone feels." twice, placing the emphasis on two different words, since there's a lovely double meaning there. this is how everyone fEELS. this is how eVERYONE feels!
This video looks so cinematic, This looks like a movie which is a really cool and unique way for this vlog type of video to look like. The bloom, the quality and the lighting make for a really warm feeling video and this also feels so chill and feels like just having a conversation with someone as they're talking about something they're really passionate about (not really leaving any room for me to talk but it's ok because I'm not smart enough to have anything to respond with) very cool!
You are so entertaining and rewarding to watch. Your wit and production quality are top notch. Wishing you all the best always and I am grateful for the opportunity to peer into your essence in this way. I am so here for more of you Sav!
omg what a kind comment. thank you joe perry
It feels right that everyone goes through a turmoil of self and is also aware of it, but my experience has told me there is subsection of people that only let the turmoil pull them in a direction or take them to a target of their own making. It’s kinda like going out into a tornado with a parachute and when you finally touch the ground, you confidently assert this was your destination all along. I think people like you are way more aware of that tornado and the chaos it comes with, and since there’s no illusion of control to be unsettled is the natural consequence.
You’re an inspiration and I hope I can meet people in my life like you.
Maybe it's cliché but there's some weirdly profound feeling that I get when someone says something that I know i've felt and i know i think about. All of chapter 4 really spoke to me, just this existential dread about never truly understanding another person or even myself. I feel like my entire existence is ruled by this constant desire to simply understand, I always feel like I'm taking steps to understand myself but the hallway in which 'understanding' is at the end of constantly extends. And that's just myself, I'm surely best equiped to understand myself right? The idea that I will only ever see other people as this tiny fragment of themselves that they project, even if I was to become close to someone, closer than anyone has ever been before, I will never even come close to understanding them. No matter how much I try to find the words to describe mine or someone's else existence I can never do it justice. I can never understand.
X_X
The "self" isn't to be known it is to be experienced. The hallway not only grows longer, it branches and grows "sideways". You wouldn't want it to end, would you?
That complete dissolution of ego you talked about being the end game of conciousness, that is death
Watching these videos as I've grown up and gone through these topics makes me feel like the overanalyzing part of my brain has finally formatted these abstract ideas into comprehensible words. The editing, the music choice, the VIBES, but most of all I feel like someone finally gets it?? I just wanted to say thank you Sav for making these videos they bring me a lot of comfort in these trying times :')
I find comfort in knowing someone out there can articulate our struggles while still being able to untangle our thoughts into words that carry weight. We'll never know the true self of others but finding peace that there is someone out there taking a journey through life, willing to be vulnerable to create moments with others.
i am having an existential crisis 40 minutes before my 21st birthday. great start to the next year of my life. thanks savannah
This is an eye-opening and beautiful art project, and I will be coming back to it for years and years to come. I feel so honored to have needed this and stumbled upon it right as it came into being. Thank you.
Imagine a 1 hour video essay by Savannah in the general style of ContraPoints. I would totally watch that
I had the similar thought, that this was reminiscent of Natalie, and I’m not mad about it.
i thought contrapoints too and i agree!
YES
Why would you follow that festering disease of a queer?
I really hope you've seen Ghost in the Shell (1995), and if not I highly highly recommend it! It's probably my favourite movie of all time, and the crux of it is exactly this. how can we define identity? what is a human? is memory worth anything? i wrote an essay on it once and oh my god so many good quotes. also it's just beautiful and the soundtrack is fantastic.
Separately, I really enjoy your video essays. I never comment on things because i find it terrifying to be perceived (i suppose that's some internet irony), but this video essay kinda hit all the niches of philosophy and linguistics that i love, so i felt compelled to Break my Silence.
I’m not entirely sure that any other youtube channel has made me want to start a RUclips channel more than this one
I love realizing your love for NorthernLion streams, that connection feels fitting for the content cause it’s wholesome to know you’ve loved the same art I have too.
this is the second video of your channel i ever watch. it gives me chills to find a person so similar to me. One of my most enlightening recent realizations is how language is the vehicle through conciosness interacts with the world and with others, and it was awesome to hear it from you. Also a compliment regarding that matter: I love your selection of words for describing our human reality.
Thank you. You're speaking what my brain has been thinking for years now. And the last part "imagine every person as you imaging yourself" that's really cool though process
The soul soup slapped memories in my head.
Also Northernlion in the background is very much a vibe.
Last night i opened up my diary from when i was in high school... and stumbled upon a text i wrote from 2016: " as Savannah Brown said; Skinny girls bleed flowers". After all those years I am so happy I found you and your beautiful poems again! You helped me cope with teenage years, and i wanna say thank You! ❤
Man, this reminds me of my times staring into the void on acid, I think that's what triggered my obsession with psychology, spirituality, and existentialism. I see you've also seen the absurdity and paradox in objectifying yourself and well, anything. It changes you if you look too long, you see connections between things others can never see, and you slowly become an alien in the world. To be the one that observes your feelings, your thoughts, reality itself, everything that once was so real seems now like a dream, a game maybe, what was so serious and important becomes optional and almost trivial.
These kid of videos that you've been doing are a big inspiration to me, both personally, and as a writer. You have no idea how much of a difference you make with your words, your vulnerability, and your honesty.
i might go insane at some point but im so glad this channel is making that process faster
I love these videos, they're probably the most organized rambles I've ever seen. And it somehow feels right.
You really are an expert at explaining your emotions. This video hits me hard because this is something that I struggle with, even in simple moments like when I try to tell my friend how much I love my favourite musician. I really want my friend to understand how much their music means to me and the exact emotions I feel but the words I come up with sound just like what everybody else says about their favorite artist so they lose meaning immediately and I feel like a poser.
Thanks for putting the music in the discretion. It drives me nuts when I hear a banger and have no way to ever hear it again. Like that Pet and Pet episode.
Woah, don’t overwork yourself Savannah. I need another year before I can accept another upload.
I have so much to process since the last one the time portal opened so fast this time! Time is truly speeding up folks!
I've never felt the urge or understood why people comment on videos it is truly alien to me. But damn i've never related this amount to anyone's thoughts in a video in my entire life and now i Love your channel. I'm actually feeling grateful to youtube's algorithm which is something new. ;)
I'm glad you exist.
Once again my recommended page has blessed me with your lovely existance, i find the way you express yourself unique yet oddly familiar in a comforting manner. Keep it up!
Omg the camera pov at 7:30 is just amazingggg (I mean every part of the video is amazing but this one blew my mind)
Many eye-opening takeaways from this video, but my biggest one is that Savannah watches Northern Lion peepoHappy
pog god
Your every published work is now in my Amazon cart. You are simply a phenomenal wordsmith, and I remain grateful I discovered this channel at all.
I love your videos so much. You inspired me to write down philosophies I have and ideas/theory’s I’ve witnessed, believed, or contemplated. I have so many scripts that I want to record, but I just need the time to do so. And your artistic shots as well as props are incredible. Using glare is normally a very bad thing and commonly avoided, but you used it as a thing of beauty to add this effect and feeling to the video that wouldn’t normally been able to be conveyed with words. So thank you for inspiring me and keep up the amazing work 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
bro this is so refreshing ur filosofy goes against the one i have been folowing lately in almost a piece ty
This is a very interesting topic and I see many different perspectives on it. I see identity as fluid and evolving. In a sense there is no real "you." We can build up habits that give us a little control over our lives but we are just playing out the chemistry of our brains. Rather than worrying about who I am, I simply choose to exist as I am, something too complex to attach to labels. I prefer the moment over the past or the future, in this moment I am me and that's really it.
The thing that is incredible is, you are actually able to articulate all the thoughts I constantly have, but go by too quick for me to catch.
I love your existential videos so god damn much. Thank you for helping put into words what I constantly stress myself about every day. Thank you for your art. 👊🏻
WOMAN!!!!..... How many times will I have to tell you, NEVER stop being the individual you are no matter what adversity comes your way. In a word, You-nique. I love the way you can so freely speak your mind without sub or self-conscious filter. Remember, the blade is made sharp through the process of grinding upon stone. In other words, we are the blades, while the sharpening stone is our difficult life experiences, and finally the sharp edge of the blade is our skill/ quality/character/interpretation/etc. so hold true the old saying, "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger!"
If the world starts to fall apart, I will listen to this. Got me stuck in a trance. Dont know anyone that talks so smooth, it makes me feel safe. lol
When a person manages to make me rewind the video to re-register what you said so I can enjoy it's context EVERY TEN SECONDS. I've found a person to stan.... Ms. Brown you are now my new favorite author and I haven't even read any of your books yet... I just rly like you as a person and enjoy your wholesome, and cultish personality.
I’m also an INFP :) your videos are always beautiful and I hope I can get my poetry in your magazine. you’ve always inspired me for writing. yes the results were helpful but your Vedic chart is way more accurate than tropical astrology. but yes, the philosophy of this has now made my brain go crazy
I'm an infp too!
I love your playing with the lights in various positions. I really, really adore it!
I don't think its about the" what once was" or the "what now is", its the voyage, the amalgamation of memories and stories.
philosophy aside, this is the most visually appealing video i think i've ever seen
this really feels like some of the monologues i have whilst on high shroom doses and it is very nice to hear it put so eloquently
RUclips recommended me this randomly, I've never seen a video of yours, but this energy is everything
I'm so very happy you exist, Sav. I'm so thankful of your efforts in expressing yourself: from whatever musings you explore to the act of you hitting the share button. The word "resonates" isn't enough describe your work. Thank you again
Don’t know how i got here but I’m very happy to have made it. Currently reading The Book of Disquiet and your channel is reminding me of it. Thank you for the art
I just recently found your channel and it's very calming, I can relate to the creativity, and the constant racing thoughts.
"Ripped from the universal fabric and becoming a separate more volatile observer of it"
That's gotta be the most beautifully articulated metaphor for why we are so naturally adverse to the idea of spirituality.
I want to recommend a lecture series, probably the best place on the internet to learn about personality theory:
2017 Personality 18: Biology & Traits: Openness/Intelligence/Creativity I
(1:01:18 is a good timestamp)
thanks so much for this. Took me through into level 0, and it's helped put some things in the usual right perspective :) love seeing these vids
The results are indeed in, and we can now say that I exist. Experts are shocked, pundits are baffled, and I would like a second opinion.
Good to see you again, Sav!
i just stumbled across your channel today as i've been kind of dreading existence and the future. as a fellow cancer sun, libra moon, & INFP thank you for reminding me i'm not alone. your videos are immaculate
I feel like the artistry of these vignette-videos is aging like a fine cheese. Always a delight when you release them. Also, and i've felt this way for years watching you, but i just need your speaking voice/vocal mannerisms shot directly into my veins. Thanks!
I like the way Alan Watts framed it, arriving at the No-Thingness of Universe.
Breaking out of viewing other patterns dancing on the fabric of the fields that form this reality as discrete & individual, rather than different weaves & knots of the same energy.
I have no doubt there is tremendous evolutionary advantage to Thinging Universe, but more so by the day it appears to be a lens our wiring is designed to view the world through to aid in survival.
Thanks for casting out a thread, Savannah! Hope you get more paint :]
without a you there can never be an i, without others i could never experience being me
This video reminded me of a scene from my favorite movie, Waking Life, where about 20 minutes from the end, a character existing in a final dream that occurs during death becomes one with the fabric of existence... I just realized that that character exhibits clear autistic traits, and maybe I'm projecting that because it's what I relate to, but thinking of autism in this context of inclination is so deeply meaningful to me, so thank you for triggering that thought.
These videos are fantastic. So many people only start making content about these experiences after they are diagnosed, so just seeing someone I would've wanted to be friends with while we were both deeply understanding ourselves within a misunderstanding of ourselves is a unique and interesting experience and I think there's something precious about it. (I was diagnosed in May.)
So I should probably incorporate this while I'm trying to get meetup groups for neurodivergent people together.
Just learned about "club houses" in Abnormal Psychology yesterday!
Anyways, hope all is well!
Did not expected to discover that the worlds of NorthernLion and Savannah Brown were in any way related but I guess two boards of my Ship of Theseus are staying nailed together.
Just discovered your content; very thoughtful and well spake. I'm very much looking forward to consuming more of your words and thoughts; you have a poetic soul and a beautiful vocabulary 👌.
i usually watch videos at 2x but when i watch your videos i will always go 1x speed
you have a great pacing and but above all is the writing... unironically

i am just left with a feeling of awe and craving for more
ps. the music is a vibe and thank you for crediting the sources
ps. ps. nice to find out that you are a fellow northernlion viewer

If you only watch half the videos, you can play them all at normal speed and let your brain live a little.
lighting and focus is brilliant i love this
Gahd damn, imagine being this articulate about your thoughts and feelings. One can dream. Fucking inspiring Savannah.
This particular video makes me think I've become my own imaginary friend.
While on my little island of consciousness I get the feeling that the body I'm riding around in has its own version of self that's slightly disconnected from me like I'm possessing an animal that I can train in complex manners, doesn't quite remove the lonely though.
The idea of the person being the same person yet being nothing like their previous selves is one of those confusing topics. I just like to think I'm constantly building a better me, of course there's some silly design flaws as always but I enjoy trying to be the best version of myself.
I have some experience with the idea of there being more that makes up a person outside of past experiences as well, however little. When I was a child I used to have perfect memory which I worked to maintain until I just became too sad about my experiences to keep going so I mentally decided I wanted to change how I remember things to be more loose which has been better for my mental health. Now what makes me think there is more to who we are beyond past experience is that having experienced two different memory types has given me the ability to notice that I stay the same and can accurately predict what I did even if I don't remember stuff, like a boat missing pieces but retaining its form and function, so there's more there than just past experiences for sure. The past is simply one part of the whole.
Hoping I'm not just a crazy person who's lost sense of reality by looking inwards too often though.
your cadence when speaking itches a part of my brain i can never reach
You make me feel less alone, ty
This feels far more emotional then it should.
