@@George_Bulkin It's just a feeling I can relate to well, loss. It's something I've yet to fully recover, even years after the fact. That makes it easier to connect, even if I don't know anything about you... but the words were enough to connect on that level. I hope we'll both keep healing and make them proud.
You know, Silent Hill 2 was... Possibly the first game in existence to truly break me. Games have had endings that "broke me", but... None that have gotten me to break myself down as a person and ask myself questions like this game had. While it's hard to literally relate to James as we find out he's a terrible person, I think i relate to the overall message of his story, atleast from how I played getting the Leave ending. Reading your description... I hope you've tried those past 8 months. It seems like you have based off the comment section but... Just remember to always get back up.
Not only I've tried but actually moved on successfully. Crawled out of pit o' despair and never looked back. I _am_ happy now, as for the description - I wrote it back when I was halfway out of that pit. I truly appreciate your compassion, sounds like you are a caring and empathetic person. Please, never let that side of yours die, this world needs more kind people. Thank you once again and have a great day, wherever you are.
This game had a similar effect on me. Missed out on the games as a kid and when I was going through rough times, I decided to play this game for the first time. It’s as if the town was calling me to it and it will always resonate with me in a very special way. It truly is one of if not my favorite games. It really has such a unique effect on you after playing it.
I hope youre okay❤️🩹just know that I love you although I dont know you! And that you deserve to be loved and it hurts me to think someone out there feel like this🥹 it wont be like that forever i promise. I promise you theres light at the end of the tunnel. Smile and please take care of yourself. You are worthy.
I certainly am way better now than I used to be year ago. Crawled out of pit of despair and never looked back. After all, when you hit the rock bottom, the only way is up. Your kindness is truly admirable, wish there were more people like you nowadays. Wish you all the happiness one could have, that's truly single most precious thing in the world.
@@George_Bulkin Absolutely. Trust me I was there a few days ago and the only thing I could think in that very dark place was " I don't want anyone in the world to feel how Im feeling". That was the only thing on my mind, and I asked the universe to allow me to be help to others. I know exactly how it can be. I'm sorry you felt like that and I'm so glad you feel better. Rock bottom is the only way up. Never look back. Keep going.. I'm so proud of you. I'm so grateful for being able to leave you this message and for your reply. Always remember: Your work on yourself is a service to the whole world. Everyday. Smile and enjoy life. Shine bright and never dim your light 🕯️
It’s nice knowing a game like this could touch so many lives. The music really is so beautiful from the legend himself. Hope you enjoy the remake if you play it.
Your description finds me relating to it extremely hard. Although, I personally cannot agree with the moving on part of your description. I struggle with the glaring issue of not having done enough for my mate before his death, and the way it is going on, I might just do something unfavourable to myself. 5 years since his passing, and I'm still thinking it was just yesterday. But I cannot deny your efforts. You've done wonderfully, and I can only hope that with the experiences of your struggle under your belt, that your coming days will be less terrible *(gradually, until I hope it ceases to be worth noting)* and a tad bit better *(one of these days I hope)* since you fought so hard to survive. May our mates rest in peace. If there is a God, I hope he allowed my friend to enter into his sanctuary. As is yours. I dont know what his beliefs are, but I hope he is resting peacefully, whereever he is.
Do not give up. I have never considered myself strong, yet I am confident again (if not happy). I'm sure your friend wouldn't want you to succumb to grief over his demise. He may have rest in peace, yet he still is with you. I still remember how my late brother came to me in my dream just before the last summer exam on my first year in uni. To this day I remember his words: "Good luck, my sweet brother". Naturally, I passed, thus finishing summer session flawlessly. Another reason why I was able to finally move on with my life (after gruelling 17 months of constant mourning) - I literally wrote a book as a way of therapy. I didn't make the main character a carbon copy of myself, because I despise self-insertion in literature, yet he went through pretty much the same trauma - his best (well, the only) friend died in his arms and he could do nothing to prevent this. I put my soul and all 4 years of Philology studies into making my first book. I was so invested I didn't even realize when what was initially just a glorified fan fiction became a cure for my mind. First time in my entire life I have created something I can rightfully be proud of. That was my first step. Then, gradually, life started to get better. Right now I have far more optimistic outlook on life, I found a new job (even got a promotion), and even graduated twice in Additional Professional Education programs. All it takes is one big step and a thousand of tiny steps. Just don't give up, let your memories of happy times you've had with your friend become your guiding light.
Sounds like a nice dream. I feel as if something is wrong with me hearing that, though, as my dreams with him in it are either a sequence where it turns out that he never died and just went into hiding followed by us hanging out as we had before, or the more grim alternative where I have to watch him die again- not to rain on your parade, but I just wish to impart my personal experience. I must agree with what you're saying though. He would never want to see me like this, I know that much. So, until my life gives out, I will keep walking, as I see you have. You seem like an impressive individual. I must make a note of what you have told me, perhaps, no, definitely- I have the potential to grow too. I just have to find out how. One big step, thousand small steps.. I like the sound of that. Which is weird, I usually despise that sort of thing- I suppose it just hits differently because I see that we are cut from the same cloth in some way. I still haven't found a reason to move forward, but there's a voice nagging, whispering to me in my head telling me that this isn't how it should be. I hope to nurture that small voice into a scream that I myself can vocalize without much doubt one day. I hope I'm on the right path. Thank you for sharing your story with me. It's an inspiring tale, one that I will cherish. Good day to you!
That's a powerful description.. I hope you're recovering/healing well
Slowly, but surely. I appreciate your compassion, it's a rare trait nowadays.

I hope you’re both well. Compassion exists more than we may think, it just happens to be rare on the internet.
This is my favorite song from the entire Silent Hill soundtrack. It evokes a feeling of longing for something impossible to return to, nostalgia.
It truly is such a beautiful track
"Mary... could you really be in this town... waiting for me"
I hope you're in a better place. You did right moving forward.

@@Missroses-c4s Amen to that.

It reminds me of the time when I was a kid 👍
Yeah, this track sure does have a nostalgic feeling.
@@George_Bulkinthank you very much ❤
A good song ❤

New year new start!
Precisely!
This scene better be in the Remake that’s all I’m saying.
I'm sure it will. After all, it establishes the whole story.
gm bigcity sh is a good map! there are some cool scares and easter eggs in it.
