Hey everyone! i really liked this story and im excited to see what you all think of it! Here are my songs i used in this video| EMbers of love: ruclips.net/video/SQlwpU19cPw/видео.html Unhappy: ruclips.net/video/vkkKdjKNkBY/видео.html Bad Thoughts: ruclips.net/video/wjA_t0Ki_zU/видео.html
Many yrs ago when my husband & I split up & he refused to even talk to me, id see him everywhere. I'd be walking on an empty st @ 2am & see him at the end of it screaming & crying id run up to him, %90 of the x it wud be some random person, the other %10 it'd be no one. Drove me to drinking. Better now! 👍
I love stories like this one but at the same time, hate them- durning and especially after wideo ends, when it sinks in, i'm crying mess. Amazingly done, thank You
Oh god! It was a feels pasta!😭 You two did beautiful work together and really brought this story to life and the music was amazing! Hope you have a fabulous night!🤗💜🌈
Honestly, at first this title made me think the story would be of something silly. But knowing this channel I knew it definitely is not. Today, You guys did extraordinarily well. last few minutes broke me, which isn't a common at all. I'm grateful for these narrations, please don't ever stop.
Yes, of course! I didn't specify what I meant and looking at my comment now, it can be interpreted many ways. So i'll clarify real quick, for myself especially. That creepypasta got me emotional, it was magnificently written and narrated. I more than enjoyed that!
@@actualcrab_ facts, i almost did a cry i felt this story on so many levels and while i never resorted to self harm i've damn near killed myself for someone once (accidental not on purpose). real good work here!
This story was wonderfully written, and narrated. I usually fall asleep listening to these videos or right after, this one is an emotional rollercoaster. This is the saddest most heart wrenching story I’ve listened to. I even cried listening to this, probably throughout the last 10 minutes of it. If anyone feels the way anyone in this story did, please talk with someone. Everyone has at least one person who loves them, even if it’s a secret admirer. There is always something to look forward to in life. I love this community and want you all to know you are loved.
you and the female voice actress narrated this so well and i love the true meaning of the story being about toxic relationships being hidden behind the creepy story. so good and heart breaking
I love the female narrator on this channel! I remember the first time I heard her last week (I just found this channel) I was like, ok! I know I’m in the right place for some quality content.
@@alexandriav3956agreed! Im picky on my horror narrators, and the other voice actors somnium works with, and the sound design, are big parts of why I subbed this channel
Finally! Something to keep me sane at work. Thank you, Dark Somnium. Still going through the story now, but the protagonist of this one, Theo, reminds me of my 19-year old self years back when I was with my first and last girlfriend in post secondary school. I loved her, I wanted to keep the relationship alive, but I always seemed to walk on eggshells around her. She'd slip into sour moods, sometimes without warning, and when I tried to get her to open up so I can see what I could do for her, she'd get irritable and push me away. As much as I wanted to help her, I either couldn't or she wouldn't let me. It took a toll on me too, knowing I was there and I couldn't even cheer up someone I loved. I wondered constantly if I was being a decent boyfriend at all. I doubted myself, and my girlfriend's negative energy felt like it had infected me too. We broke up after a year - she was the one who initiated it. I didn't put up much of a fight; I was exhausted of it all. By that point, I'd thrown my all and my best into keeping our relationship standing, only for the thing to collapse anyway. For maybe six months, I was depressed and went to counselling to work out my feelings. I was heartbroken and kept asking myself if there was anything more I could have done, or... hell, if I actually did too much, even. It was months after the breakup that I just woke up to realize I was over the whole thing. That I enjoyed being by myself again, like I could breathe fresh air once more. That maybe, my happiness doesn't have to come from another person, but rather, from my own self. Maybe that's why I haven't dated since that relationship ended 8 years ago. I've gotten so accustomed to being free and content with myself. Probably on a subconscious level, I've attributed all relationships to the misery I felt being in my first one that I now believe, "Why bother with that again?" Being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely, after all. At least I can say wholeheartedly that I'm better off now that my happiness is my sole concern instead of being concerned about someone else's, too.
@@spiadmanton not to speak for OP but i think he is better and in ways I can relate to what he's talking about, although I am not currently single I can understand the need for it. i don't know OPs personality but if its anything like mine then maybe being single is best for him. not to boast or be pretentious but I care too much about people, especially the people close too me and I care so much that I don't really care about myself and willingly self-sabatoge and do things I know will inflict so much damage to me just to see the ones around me better off. its not a personality that mixes well with relationships however I am still trying to see mine through and am working on doing it in ways that are healthy for me. My dad gave me a great piece of advice once simply by saying "there's a big difference between self-sacrafice and self-mutilation" and so now when I do something for someone i ask myself, "is this self-sacrafice or self-mutilation?" OP if you see this, I hope I didn't say anything potentially offensive to you and I based what I said off of what you said in your comment as well as my own personal experiences. anyways I'm done now; to whoever sees this and needs to hear this, you matter too, don't self-mutilate to see anyone better off.
@Naterey OP here. Decided to come back to this 2 weeks later. I can't say I self-mutilate today, 8 years after what at the time felt like the end of the world. As much as I dislike my ex for what she put me through, the experience did serve to teach me about who I am. I can be happy, even on my own. Hell, I realized I'm happier, sincerely, this way. It may sound like I'm on the extreme end of introversion, even teetering toward antisocialness. Perhaps that's true. But the way I see it, if you're happy being a certain way and you aren't harming anyone with being so, who are people to judge? If someone comes along to change my heart about being single, they'll have to work hard to do so. If no one does, it's fine as well. I'm all right either way. With regards to your continuing journey to differentiate between self-sacrifice and self-mutilation, I hope you one day find distinction between them and never confuse them with each other again. Whatever form your happiness takes, I hope you find it.
for anyone that needs to hear it: you CANNOT fix someone, only they can do that. You can love someone and be there for them as they work on themselves, but it is NOT on you to do it for them. you cant, no matter how hard you try, or how much you want to, you cant. You can love someone with al your heart, but realize that you cannot have them in your lives. do not stay in a toxic relationship because you think its your responsibility to do so. You are not responsible for someone else's actions, that is 100% on them.
I learnt this lesson the hard way with my ex girlfriend. I stayed far too long in a toxic relationship as I was scared about what she might do to herself if we split up. It was the worst 1.5 years of my life, just constant mental warfare. I consider myself very lucky it wasn’t longer
For one who goes by the "Dark" dreams moniker, you are a beacon of light for so many!! You sure have gotten me (and many others per comments) through my own dark times. I know you probably don't want the pressure of being a source of strength for anyone when you're just trying to narrate awesome stories, but please know that by doing what you do so well, you Do help people trudge through sporadic times of mundanity. Thanks for being such a great narrator!!!
It's the complicated loves that are the hardest to let go of. I've been in relationships like this as both participants. This story is beautiful in the way that paintings of the nuclear bombs are. You know it's awful in that moment, but seeing it as a bystander, you can see the pretty colors of the big picture.
I don't post messages on here often, but this time the story broke me, I guess it's because it's so close to home, so real in the fact that I have lived a similar story. It took me a long time to truly understand that you can't fix a person, no matter how much pain you endure, no matter the lengths you push yourself to. You can lose yourself, and slowly lose everything in the process because of the toxic empathy. The cycle of going from it being "good" to if "I just do this, it'll be better again" is not going to get better. Know your worth, because you deserve better than that.
I had a Charly in my life once. Always fresh new cuts she inflicted on herself. Back in the day i was neither smart nor empathetic enough to fully grasp the seriousness of her condition. One moment she could idolize me like a saint. The next we had a fight and she despised me. Hated me with a passion. My life would have been healthier without her. But she was worth every pain i felt. Every scar i inflicted on myself in an attempt to understand her. And then one day she was gone. I hated myself for not being able to help her. Still do. It hurts to this day. And it feels right to hurt. It was so long ago that i noticed having trouble remembering her voice. Always have to bring a phrase she said in a certain way to mind to be able to bring her voice back to life. If spilling my blood would have done anything for her i would have done it. About 2 years ago i realized the finality of my situation because of the most mundane thing. A young girl, the same age i was when i lost her, called me old. I knew i always said forever but it felt like a time i can endure. Felt like it would be enough one day. But when this girl called me old and i realized i was twice her age. Twice the age from when i entered this situation. There is some weird comfort in this though. I am starting to become old enoug that i can look forward and see a good chance that old age will have taken me before i reach "twice as old" again. Well. This was weirdly nostalgic. I just heard this story and it kinda hurt to remember and i wanted to sort my thoughts. Thank you for uploading this story. Even though it is fictional i felt a connection. Like someone would understand.
Wow thank you so much for sharing, I hope you're doing well. I know there isn't much I can say that would be an adequate reply but I wanted you to know I'm touched by your story.
@@Darksomnium Thank you. And that's perfectly fine. This is the life i chose to live in what i can very soon rightfully call "a couple of decades ago" If there's anything profound or "adequate" to say chances are i have heard it more than once already. I just wrote it down because this is a very anonymous place and i felt like it. And even though well is not in the cards for me there is also no need to worry. If there's one thing people who really know me can agree upon it's that my strength lies in survival. Funnily enough i sometimes wish it wasn't. always clawing myself back, get back at least on my knees no matter how hard i was punched down is not a pleasant trait to have. It would be so much more easy to give up. But easy is not the way of life i chose. Heck chances are givien how stubborn i am i will live to see 200.
Hard-hitting story. And he's right; freedom does tend to morph into loneliness and then bitterness. I'm right there on the verge. Interesting timing. 👍
I am really and truely sobbing right now I cannot.. oh my god. I AM LITERALLY FU***NG CRYING THE LAST FEW MINS WERE NOTHIN BUT TEARS FROM ME I AM SHOOK AT THE PURE intensity of this story and the PHENOMENAL NARRATION DONE BY YOU !!. Oh my goodness the reddit user that wrote this story is an absolute wonder of an author holy hecking ballllzz
I used to be like charlie, I was left by the man I loved the most because of it. After everything that happened something snapped and I came to the realization I had to do something to take my life back. After struggling for a long time I got better, I'm genuinely happy nowadays and it turns out that our love never faded. I'm back with that person, our relationship is wonderful now and I'm happy I was able to get through it. This story hit wayyy too close lol
Never knew I could experience so many different emotions in 40 minutes. This story gave me chills man. Thanks for this fantastic Narration Dark Somnium 🙏
Wasn't expecting to relate to this so hard. Wasn't expecting the tears. Being better isn't enough. It's not even close to being enough. Just whoa...need to take a few breaths and calm myself down.
I hope you're doing okay, please don't give up Lucas. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you, you can reach out to me at darksomniumcontact@gmail.com. and if you ever feel like you might harm yourself, please call 988.
You matter, Lucas. Don't give up. I've been there, it feels so low, it feels awful, but you can get through it. You have so much to do, so much to see, so much happiness to experience. The lows won't last forever. ❤
This reminds me so much of "something crawled inside me" and I love stories like this, and "if these walls" please do more stories like these, I love stories that aren't about typical horror monsters and stories, I love when it's more of a stand in for another, more human issue
The way this story touched soo many people dealing with so many different issues is true art, true talent. From addictions to mental health you brought relevance to everyone’s perspective. Truly amazing. I’m so happy I found your channel
I felt this as a beautiful representation of losing someone. We carry the pain of losing someone around with us, we want to hurt for them, the memory of them, because suffering their loss keeps them alive in a way. Hurting that someone is gone let's us be emotionally tied to them, because pain is better than oblivion, because of the guilt of ever being whole or happy again without them, because letting go feels like betrayal. It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, and ripping the emotional wound open at least allows us to feel something, it keeps their memory alive through our pain. If you are reading this, beautiful people full of life and future, and you have lost me, I want you to move on. I want you to be happy and whole again, let me go. My legacy is your bright future, not my tattered past. I am me, I am you, I am your parents, your children, your brother, your sister, your teacher, your student. I am your lover, your spouse, the stranger you dont know, your closest friend, and your most disliked adversary. If you are reading this, it is okay, we are okay. Please let me go. Good luck, and I'll be cheering for you from the finish line. ❤️
Wow!! This is legitimately the first soul crushing (my favorite type) video has left me speechless. You are a living legend Mr. Somnium a living legend you and Ms. RomNex keep them rolling my friend!
Compared to the other stories I’ve listened to on your channel, this one was the hardest to listen to. This didn’t feel like a horror story, this felt painfully real. Understanding that you can’t fix somebody is painful yet essential, you can only help somebody so much but you cannot help somebody who doesn’t wish to be saved. I’m grateful that you posted this story, it’s helped me realise a few things about past relationships. Thank you for your stories.
Goddamn… The acting in this one is phenomenal (it usually is, but still)! You and Rom KILLED it-I got completely sucked in! 👏👏 Rough, but so extremely worth the listen. Love the Feelspasta ones! Thanks for having me ❤❤
I don't get when people need to use g d word. It's satin's curs God does damn things. Satin dam's everything. Damn you satin, every thing that is not peace and tranquility with out doubt and? all is peace and perfect. Beyond human comprehension. 😢 Posts you did years ago look me up there. JDP Underhill created
This was geniunely terrifying for me. I had no expectations- I just listen to these while i work- but instantly, a girl with my name, the same looks (minus the actual horror) and a similar past? I was so concerned I went to check and see if I knew the author. 10/10 nearly had a heart attack
This was beautiful, but definitely soul-crushing. I was with a guy for five years, type one diabetic, depressed, and didn't take care of himself. I had to make him eat sometimes or he would let his blood sugar get so low he could've gone into a coma. There were a few times I had to call an ambulance so they could inject him with sugar (I think?). But yeah, I remember calling home from work to check on him, the phone ringing and ringing, and I would leave work to see if he was okay and 50% of the time he wasn't, he was passed out with low blood sugar, moments away from ketoacidosis (low blood sugar coma). 5 years of trying to save someone that couldn't save himself. I was 18 when it started. This hit me like a freight train.
As a fellow type one diabetic I want to say I know how hard it is to take care of it. Especially when others have to help you along. A lot of diabetics get sick of being sick and seeing no end in sight. I’m sorry you went through this. It’s sad when it happens. But yeah it was dextrose they injected him with. It’s sugar water. It’s what we call glucagon. He shouldn’t had multiple at home. They get it free from the insurance and pharmacy if he told them he was having low blood sugar issues. Some people just don’t want to go on. And that’s always rough. I’ve dealt with that a bit on my own. But it gets better. You were a good person and he was also taking advantage of you. I’m glad you got free of that situation honey.
Knows the word keto acidosis but not insulin LOL! (I’m totally teasing you). I’m sorry you went through that. I can’t even imagine the constant worry he put you through.
Wow…. Another one of the deep phycological ones. You really know how to touch my heart man. It’s the compositions. The music touches my soul more than anything my entire life. I’m here for you all. We are all in this together. Don’t forget that.
Your narrations are beautiful Somnium, thank you. I suffer from severe depression and the end of the story made me cry, it's not often something moved me like that. Thank you.
This really hit something personal in me. I was going to attempt a couple of weeks ago before being stopped by the girl who brought me so much pain to put me in that state. Sometimes ppl just aren’t good for you.
Same here, also a few weeks ago and also because of someone close. They weren't there to stop me though. I called hotlines and am still here. If some aren't good for us then we just have to be good for ourselves. I hope you're doing better now, no one is worth our life but we are
@Rain Remnant we have to be our own reasons. I'm glad you made it. Remember to be kind to yourself. We don't break from 1 hit but usually after layers of bad quick fixes to our lifetime of varying hurts gives way to that last blow.
@@Darksomnium I’m not going to lie and say “I’m so glad I didn’t”. However I’ve had a couple good days since then. I literally just take it day by day. Thank you for your concern. 🙂
@WereOtter taking it day by day is what i do too, it's less overwhelming. It gets better with work and time, having a support system helps too. I hope things get better for you, and im so proud of you for getting past your attempt and continuing to push forward 💜 thats not easy
DAMN this is captivating. I appreciate the extended outro, letting the weight of the ending settle in. Well done sir! Might just be my favorite, if not a very close second
Wow, first time in a while ive cried. I was in the possition of the protagonist once, just an afterthought and used and all that... Anyhow, great story, out of all the creepypasta guys on yt, you have the best taste! (Also the fact you respond to almost all comments is really cool c: )
this one hit really close to home as I've pretty much lived through something similar but from charlies point of view, amazing story and amazing narrators keep up the amazing work!
This story is very well written and performed beautifully. It did hit a little bit close for comfort for myself I could and do relate to almost all of it, from the abuse, mental health issues, finding someone to love and struggling to do so, harming yourself and feeling unworthy of love, I could go on but what a great way to express and explain a life experience that others may not be able to understand.
I'm really glad that you are posting more stories lately. And i especially likes these feelpastas. This one reminded me of that one story where there is a sand, or ash storm outside of house and main characters stay in but it is actually really story about losing someone. I will try to find it in your videos later. So please do more feelpastas 🙂
i can’t explain how appreciative i am for these stories. i hit these periods of being excruciatingly bored and start slipping into these darker headspaces and these stories bring a little bit of distraction and almost adrenaline to my life. there are even times that they strike nerves and steer me into feelings i haven’t felt since whatever event kicked them up in the first place. Ik you don’t wake up in the morning with the goal of helping your audience’s mental health and it’s not at all your responsibility, being completely honest i should just go to a therapist, but until then i thank you for the stories and i hope making these give you the same comfort you give your audience
This story made me feel so many familiar emotions I haven’t felt in a while, and it reminded me of the feelings and the things I have over came myself. Your work makes me speechless every story I listen to. Please keep up the amazing work you do, your a light in a world of darkness for many people.
I've been sick for a couple days, super boring. Ive been watching your videos and its atleast giving me something to listen to. Thank you, keep up the good work!
ah man, this one hit too close to home. Especially the feeling of needing to fix someone or be there for them, no matter how much it ruins you. Knowing you _are_ better off without them, but loving them too much to leave. Very great story
Bro this story hit me in the feels. I always try to help others, beyond what I should. And it feels good to see them thrive even if it’s for just a fleeting moment, but then you realize how much you hurt yourself trying to help them, to make them better. This was a story that I didn’t know I needed, it felt like I was seen. Thank you for this narration, it was fantastic. Despite these stories being dark they have always been a light in my life. And for that I thank you for sharing stories that very talented people create.
The title of this story does not do justice to how excruciatingly painful and horrifying it is to listen to in a deep, emotional level. This wrecked me. Amazing narration, Somnium.
This story was beautifully narrated. I’m currently at work and I had to take a minute to just comment and say thank you. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your productions and they make my spare time, as well as my time I spend working, very enjoyable. So thank you! From the bottom of my heart I appreciate the authors work and your narrations that bring them to life! Have a fantastic day friend!
There is something deep and true and resonant in this story. The best fantasies cast subtle shades back at reality and help us see our world in another way. This was a powerful story and the narration really brought it to life. Thank you.
I was listening to this at work and after finishing it I just KNEW it was by Dopabear. Their writing style is just so beautiful and magical, like a fever dream. Your narrations bring to life her writing in ways that I can't describe. It is amazing. Thank you for introducing me all these stories I'd have never found otherwise.
I usually never leave any comments on any videos in youtube but this one just broke me (and even made me cry) The story touched me in different parts. The thoughts of self harm, struggle of a failing relationship and trying your best to endure it all cause you "love" her, hell you'll do anything you can for that relationship to survive even assorting to self harm. The outrageously good writing partnered with your immaculate narrating Dark just hits something in you makes you feel the story in more ways than one. Well done! This will be another favorite for me from this channel. ❤️
Thank you for your content it's been helping me through hard times .my daughter in hospital she still hasn't woken up I been playing your stories she love your creepypasta stories.
This is one of the best, but also tragic stories you've read. I think we can all relate to loving someone who we cannot save to the point that it brings immense pain. Great job as usual, man! I listen to you read frequently. I love your content.
I've decided to go through every video and relisten to all. This story have me such heavy feelings, incredible amounts of goosebumps. Well done, being transported to these stories, while working outside in the heat is a feat I havent had before listening to your stories. I simply cant enjoy other channels as much. Thank you very much
So many tragic ways to see this story, when so often people end up doing this in one way or another. Endlessly sacrificing. Reminds me of a grown up giving tree.
I'm not even done, but wow! The writing is so good! I've listened to tons of these stories, but this author just has such a way with words. It felt novelistic.
I'm only 15 minutes in and may have to eat my words by the end but, deep down, I've always wanted someone to write so beautifully about me as he does about Charlie. The poetic curiosity of her essence and the constant yearning to know her deeper pulls at my achy heartstrings. To be a muse...
@@iamV10010 it's strangely beautiful. While a metaphor of letting go, the story itself ties to folklore I have read before in a beautiful way. Like the Lennean Sidhe. I often wonder if it was truly an accident or if Charlie intentionally crashed her car after Theo was sent to the hospital. God? It's so heart-rending because you want to help the other person so badly, that sense of empathy and desire to take on someone else's pain, but in the end everyone's pain is their own, the best we can do is support them through it or give them the space to grow from it. I'm sure you are someone's muse, you just might not realize it.
This was beautiful, in the most disgusting hurtful way possible. You wonderfully narrated and edited this story. It shows part of the pain of CPTSD and Loving someone who has suffered through...
this one was heavy, and i really enjoyed it. the fight dialogue and delivery felt so real! loved listening to this but it did make me wanna take a nap a lil after all that energy LMAOOO
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever read, I am brought to the brink of tears every time I hear it. It’s so hard to love someone who can’t love themselves, who can’t get past their hurt or their pain. I feel so hard for this protagonist, and for Charlie. Heartbreaking. This is what creepypastas can really do, they’re more than just a scary story. That’s why I love this genre.
Love these narrations, I'm a trucker and I love listening to these going down the road, I have literally watched everything on your channel, even that league of legends video. Thank you for keeping me awake during my night drives!
Only 10 min or so into this one but thought I'd come to say what a great job on this story so far - it is so real to me, and as a person very much like the Charley in the story listening to it and reading the comments I think I was correct in my decision to stay away from relationships so as to minimize inflicting myself on people. Looking forward to continuing to listen to the rest of the story, though it cannot possibly end well for the characters
Oh my God that was heavy ! For the last 3 years I have been extremely depressed so I can relate to Charlie in so many ways . This made me cry for the last 15 mins of the story 😢
This story is probably one of the most heartbreaking stories ive heard, truly a wonderful work with the voice acting and the narration, i was blown away simply, thank you for the narration
Dear brother this story is a masterpiece. And its a story that that hits close to home. And and you have done a great narration and you’ve brought these characters to light with your expertise. A proper 10/10 my man. Love your work and I wish you the best my friend.
Fantastic job, you and Rom at your finest. The story is wonderfully written but the two of you made its telling complete in a way few others could. Thank you very much. Cheers, Lee.
Man, this one really hits home after being in a really abusive relationship. It's been years when it ended, but I can still remember it too vividly, and in retrospect, best gift that she gave me was when she left me, since I'm not sure that I could have, no matter how bad it hurts. Fantastic story, in any case.
@@Darksomnium Not more than I am, but it makes an interesting point of view, since it's really strange to think how hard it's to let go. It's hard to comprehend abusive relationships unless they're experienced first hand. No more worries.
My god.. I love how you edit in even the smallest of details it really makes listeners feel like there actually in the story sometimes. I wish I knew how to make a video as good as these are, I really do love the horror story’s from this channel they are truly amazing.
I love your work so much! I think you must the the only person that can deliver the deepest of meanings in stories as such, thank you for all the effort you've put into this!
You guys are amazing voice actors, you breathe such life into these stories that it truly feels real, as much as I wish they didn't! And I just gotta say... Dopabeane does it again! What a prolific author!
I know this story all too well with my sister. Of all the stories I've heard, this one really broke my heart. ❤ Hits close to home. Thank you for the amazing narration.
The ammount of amazing videos you've been putting out lately is awesome. It gives so much great content that me and my GF love listening too. Thanks for brightening up our days!!
The resolve of this story is absolutely brilliant. It uses a supernatural premise to illustrate a real-world scenario. A willingness to give all you can to a person to the point of self detriment doesn't equal happily ever after. Sometimes you gotta let 'em go no matter how bad it feels in order to heal. Loving someone who makes your life miserable is real. And just like this creepy pasta. The only solution is to let go. Regardless of the void their absence leaves behind.
I thought you did creepypastas, this just sounds like a normal relationship. In all seriousness though, this might be my favorite narration you’ve ever done. Really hit close to home.
This story was the best thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life I got chills from the story but your narration skills made it so much better if it was anybody else I wouldn’t like it but your the best narrator EVER this video was amazing (I listened to it on Spotify tho)
Thank you so much for speaking all of the metaphors and taking the time to add in careful details of the voice readers, etc. it’s a great great reading of it ❤
This story hits way to close home, I think I really need to rethink my relationship right now, It may sound weird, but the story opened my eyes to something I wasn't seeing
Well, after hearing this I need to go hug someone. That heaviness is a testament to how much life you give these stories. In my head the existence of Charlie reminds me of the Scottish Lennean Sidhe. The "sweet heart" faerie. They are a sort of "vampire" in that they are the muse of poets, artists and musicians but they slowly draw the life from the artisans who fall in love with them. The thing is their existence isn't necessarily malicious but more so tragic. There are some folklore stories where the faerie actually takes great pains to separate themselves from their lover so that their lover might live. This story greatly reminds me of that. The faerie itself is a metaphor for obsession and how the pursuit of a single thing to the exclusion of all else will overtake someone's entire existence until they die. Part of me thinks of Charlie like this. It's sad, but thank you for reading this.
I didn’t get the chance to comment on your last video, but I really enjoyed it. The thought of being trapped inside of an underwater cave always scares the crap out of me 😅.
This was tough. Not just “hurting people hurt people”, but also how when we have been hurt badly enough, the only solution is to hurl ourselves into oblivion, as if self destruction is some kind of desperate attempt at a solution until we come to believe that it’s our duty or karma to continue on with pain. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m the only listener that got hit hard by this one; I wish it wasn’t so relatable for most people. This is probably one of the top 3 best stories on this channel, and that’s saying a lot!

Many yrs ago when my husband & I split up & he refused to even talk to me, id see him everywhere. I'd be walking on an empty st @ 2am & see him at the end of it screaming & crying id run up to him, %90 of the x it wud be some random person, the other %10 it'd be no one. Drove me to drinking. Better now! 👍
@@deecordova3274 I'm si glad to hear you're doing better now :)
I love stories like this one but at the same time, hate them- durning and especially after wideo ends, when it sinks in, i'm crying mess. Amazingly done, thank You
Oh god! It was a feels pasta!😭 You two did beautiful work together and really brought this story to life and the music was amazing! Hope you have a fabulous night!🤗💜🌈
The music really made the story pop. Awesome job bro
The title reminds me of the story where the wife peeks at her husband.
Read my mind, I love that story
ooo i love that story.
That story had me genuinely freaked out. Like, I had to sit up and turn on my bedside light afterwards level creeped. I'm 39 lol
One of my favorites which is why I clicked on this so fast
That one was terrifying
Oh lawd ever since his PC got fixed he is throwing quality stories every 3-4 days. immaculate work 🎉
;)
Hey, 707! What is this shit, Oh,lawd? Oh, I know, you must be some hick with some accent!!!!
Honestly, at first this title made me think the story would be of something silly. But knowing this channel I knew it definitely is not. Today, You guys did extraordinarily well. last few minutes broke me, which isn't a common at all. I'm grateful for these narrations, please don't ever stop.
Thank you, I really liked this story, I hope you do too!
Yes, of course! I didn't specify what I meant and looking at my comment now, it can be interpreted many ways. So i'll clarify real quick, for myself especially. That creepypasta got me emotional, it was magnificently written and narrated. I more than enjoyed that!
@@actualcrab_ facts, i almost did a cry i felt this story on so many levels and while i never resorted to self harm i've damn near killed myself for someone once (accidental not on purpose). real good work here!
Yes like those long titles that pretty much sum up the whole story, they're so bad! But this channel only goes for quality 🖤
This story was wonderfully written, and narrated. I usually fall asleep listening to these videos or right after, this one is an emotional rollercoaster. This is the saddest most heart wrenching story I’ve listened to. I even cried listening to this, probably throughout the last 10 minutes of it. If anyone feels the way anyone in this story did, please talk with someone. Everyone has at least one person who loves them, even if it’s a secret admirer. There is always something to look forward to in life. I love this community and want you all to know you are loved.
Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it. You are loved also!
You are never alone. 💚
The things I'd give to think like you 🙏
I'm really happy I didn't try to fall asleep to this story.
as a former self harm addict, it's so cool to see that this is being talked about more.
I'm so glad that you are in a better place:)
I'm glad you've healed friend :(
I'm glad you said "former" and I hope you're doing better now. ❤
you and the female voice actress narrated this so well and i love the true meaning of the story being about toxic relationships being hidden behind the creepy story. so good and heart breaking
Her name is Romnex... or at least her RUclips name. She's got her own channel and is amazing!
I love the female narrator on this channel! I remember the first time I heard her last week (I just found this channel) I was like, ok! I know I’m in the right place for some quality content.
@@roxycontinog69thank you!
@@roxycontinog69thank you! Subbing her channel now too.
@@alexandriav3956agreed! Im picky on my horror narrators, and the other voice actors somnium works with, and the sound design, are big parts of why I subbed this channel
That’s a great line. “Freedom is lonely, and loneliness is bitter.” So very true. This was a heavy story.
Bro thinks he’s maxence lacroix
Finally! Something to keep me sane at work. Thank you, Dark Somnium.
Still going through the story now, but the protagonist of this one, Theo, reminds me of my 19-year old self years back when I was with my first and last girlfriend in post secondary school. I loved her, I wanted to keep the relationship alive, but I always seemed to walk on eggshells around her. She'd slip into sour moods, sometimes without warning, and when I tried to get her to open up so I can see what I could do for her, she'd get irritable and push me away. As much as I wanted to help her, I either couldn't or she wouldn't let me. It took a toll on me too, knowing I was there and I couldn't even cheer up someone I loved. I wondered constantly if I was being a decent boyfriend at all. I doubted myself, and my girlfriend's negative energy felt like it had infected me too.
We broke up after a year - she was the one who initiated it. I didn't put up much of a fight; I was exhausted of it all. By that point, I'd thrown my all and my best into keeping our relationship standing, only for the thing to collapse anyway. For maybe six months, I was depressed and went to counselling to work out my feelings. I was heartbroken and kept asking myself if there was anything more I could have done, or... hell, if I actually did too much, even. It was months after the breakup that I just woke up to realize I was over the whole thing. That I enjoyed being by myself again, like I could breathe fresh air once more. That maybe, my happiness doesn't have to come from another person, but rather, from my own self.
Maybe that's why I haven't dated since that relationship ended 8 years ago. I've gotten so accustomed to being free and content with myself. Probably on a subconscious level, I've attributed all relationships to the misery I felt being in my first one that I now believe, "Why bother with that again?" Being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely, after all. At least I can say wholeheartedly that I'm better off now that my happiness is my sole concern instead of being concerned about someone else's, too.
Just because some girl messes with you doesn't mean you can't start another relationship.
hopes that makes you feel better or idk
@@spiadmanton not to speak for OP but i think he is better and in ways I can relate to what he's talking about, although I am not currently single I can understand the need for it. i don't know OPs personality but if its anything like mine then maybe being single is best for him. not to boast or be pretentious but I care too much about people, especially the people close too me and I care so much that I don't really care about myself and willingly self-sabatoge and do things I know will inflict so much damage to me just to see the ones around me better off. its not a personality that mixes well with relationships however I am still trying to see mine through and am working on doing it in ways that are healthy for me. My dad gave me a great piece of advice once simply by saying "there's a big difference between self-sacrafice and self-mutilation" and so now when I do something for someone i ask myself, "is this self-sacrafice or self-mutilation?"
OP if you see this, I hope I didn't say anything potentially offensive to you and I based what I said off of what you said in your comment as well as my own personal experiences.
anyways I'm done now; to whoever sees this and needs to hear this, you matter too, don't self-mutilate to see anyone better off.
@@naterey7270 true
@Naterey OP here. Decided to come back to this 2 weeks later.
I can't say I self-mutilate today, 8 years after what at the time felt like the end of the world. As much as I dislike my ex for what she put me through, the experience did serve to teach me about who I am. I can be happy, even on my own. Hell, I realized I'm happier, sincerely, this way. It may sound like I'm on the extreme end of introversion, even teetering toward antisocialness. Perhaps that's true. But the way I see it, if you're happy being a certain way and you aren't harming anyone with being so, who are people to judge? If someone comes along to change my heart about being single, they'll have to work hard to do so. If no one does, it's fine as well. I'm all right either way.
With regards to your continuing journey to differentiate between self-sacrifice and self-mutilation, I hope you one day find distinction between them and never confuse them with each other again. Whatever form your happiness takes, I hope you find it.
“ freedom is loneliness and loneliness is bitter” that’s my new TINDER headline
for anyone that needs to hear it:
you CANNOT fix someone, only they can do that. You can love someone and be there for them as they work on themselves, but it is NOT on you to do it for them. you cant, no matter how hard you try, or how much you want to, you cant. You can love someone with al your heart, but realize that you cannot have them in your lives. do not stay in a toxic relationship because you think its your responsibility to do so. You are not responsible for someone else's actions, that is 100% on them.
Something I definitely need reminded of..💜
💯
Would've never thought a RUclips comment would resonate so well
This is a wildly powerful statement.
Thank you for reminding those who see this message.
I learnt this lesson the hard way with my ex girlfriend. I stayed far too long in a toxic relationship as I was scared about what she might do to herself if we split up. It was the worst 1.5 years of my life, just constant mental warfare. I consider myself very lucky it wasn’t longer
For one who goes by the "Dark" dreams moniker, you are a beacon of light for so many!! You sure have gotten me (and many others per comments) through my own dark times. I know you probably don't want the pressure of being a source of strength for anyone when you're just trying to narrate awesome stories, but please know that by doing what you do so well, you Do help people trudge through sporadic times of mundanity. Thanks for being such a great narrator!!!
I agree! ❤
It's the complicated loves that are the hardest to let go of. I've been in relationships like this as both participants. This story is beautiful in the way that paintings of the nuclear bombs are. You know it's awful in that moment, but seeing it as a bystander, you can see the pretty colors of the big picture.
I don't post messages on here often, but this time the story broke me, I guess it's because it's so close to home, so real in the fact that I have lived a similar story.
It took me a long time to truly understand that you can't fix a person, no matter how much pain you endure, no matter the lengths you push yourself to. You can lose yourself, and slowly lose everything in the process because of the toxic empathy.
The cycle of going from it being "good" to if "I just do this, it'll be better again" is not going to get better. Know your worth, because you deserve better than that.
Super excited for this one. Thanks again Ronnie!
thank you so much :)
I had a Charly in my life once. Always fresh new cuts she inflicted on herself. Back in the day i was neither smart nor empathetic enough to fully grasp the seriousness of her condition. One moment she could idolize me like a saint. The next we had a fight and she despised me. Hated me with a passion. My life would have been healthier without her. But she was worth every pain i felt. Every scar i inflicted on myself in an attempt to understand her.
And then one day she was gone. I hated myself for not being able to help her. Still do. It hurts to this day. And it feels right to hurt.
It was so long ago that i noticed having trouble remembering her voice. Always have to bring a phrase she said in a certain way to mind to be able to bring her voice back to life. If spilling my blood would have done anything for her i would have done it. About 2 years ago i realized the finality of my situation because of the most mundane thing. A young girl, the same age i was when i lost her, called me old. I knew i always said forever but it felt like a time i can endure. Felt like it would be enough one day. But when this girl called me old and i realized i was twice her age. Twice the age from when i entered this situation.
There is some weird comfort in this though. I am starting to become old enoug that i can look forward and see a good chance that old age will have taken me before i reach "twice as old" again.
Well. This was weirdly nostalgic. I just heard this story and it kinda hurt to remember and i wanted to sort my thoughts. Thank you for uploading this story. Even though it is fictional i felt a connection. Like someone would understand.
Wow thank you so much for sharing, I hope you're doing well. I know there isn't much I can say that would be an adequate reply but I wanted you to know I'm touched by your story.
@@Darksomnium Thank you. And that's perfectly fine. This is the life i chose to live in what i can very soon rightfully call "a couple of decades ago" If there's anything profound or "adequate" to say chances are i have heard it more than once already.
I just wrote it down because this is a very anonymous place and i felt like it. And even though well is not in the cards for me there is also no need to worry. If there's one thing people who really know me can agree upon it's that my strength lies in survival.
Funnily enough i sometimes wish it wasn't. always clawing myself back, get back at least on my knees no matter how hard i was punched down is not a pleasant trait to have. It would be so much more easy to give up. But easy is not the way of life i chose. Heck chances are givien how stubborn i am i will live to see 200.
fr bruh once I had a girl bsf and she idolized me because I acted about her but the would hurt herself often and make me feel guilty about it
@@Drachenhannes Good man! Keep your head up and your elbows high. Whatever the world brings you keep on fighting!
I'd Like to Say - Continue Writing.. 😊 Make a Short Story..
✌️💜 From Ont, 🇨🇦
Hard-hitting story. And he's right; freedom does tend to morph into loneliness and then bitterness. I'm right there on the verge. Interesting timing. 👍
I hope you're doing okay :)
I am really and truely sobbing right now I cannot.. oh my god. I AM LITERALLY FU***NG CRYING THE LAST FEW MINS WERE NOTHIN BUT TEARS FROM ME I AM SHOOK AT THE PURE intensity of this story and the PHENOMENAL NARRATION DONE BY YOU !!. Oh my goodness the reddit user that wrote this story is an absolute wonder of an author holy hecking ballllzz
The author is amazing and I've done a bunch of her work :) I plan to do more. I'm so glad you liked the story
I used to be like charlie, I was left by the man I loved the most because of it. After everything that happened something snapped and I came to the realization I had to do something to take my life back. After struggling for a long time I got better, I'm genuinely happy nowadays and it turns out that our love never faded. I'm back with that person, our relationship is wonderful now and I'm happy I was able to get through it. This story hit wayyy too close lol
im so glad you were able to get to a better place in life :) thank you for sharing.
im currently going through the same thing. years of hurt and betrayal turned me into a self sabotaging person, and im trying desperately to fix myself
Never knew I could experience so many different emotions in 40 minutes. This story gave me chills man.
Thanks for this fantastic Narration Dark Somnium 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wasn't expecting to relate to this so hard. Wasn't expecting the tears. Being better isn't enough. It's not even close to being enough.
Just whoa...need to take a few breaths and calm myself down.
Romnex is such a good voice actress.
Ikr! :)
Her voice is the prettiest thing.
@@MetalSnake6199read this with a southern accent
Being someone who is ready to give up this hit harder than i expected. Thank you for all the content somnium
I hope you're doing okay, please don't give up Lucas. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you, you can reach out to me at darksomniumcontact@gmail.com. and if you ever feel like you might harm yourself, please call 988.
Please don't give up.
Please don't give up, Lucas. I wish you peace 🌠
You matter, Lucas. Don't give up. I've been there, it feels so low, it feels awful, but you can get through it. You have so much to do, so much to see, so much happiness to experience. The lows won't last forever. ❤
This reminds me so much of "something crawled inside me" and I love stories like this, and "if these walls" please do more stories like these, I love stories that aren't about typical horror monsters and stories, I love when it's more of a stand in for another, more human issue
Holy hell dude. This story was bleak, I felt physically sick when he started harming himself and at the end I almost cried. Really great story.
The way this story touched soo many people dealing with so many different issues is true art, true talent. From addictions to mental health you brought relevance to everyone’s perspective.
Truly amazing. I’m so happy I found your channel
I wasn't expecting a story like this at all. It badly hit home, at the same time brings a bit of comfort.. Amazing narration as always..
I felt this as a beautiful representation of losing someone. We carry the pain of losing someone around with us, we want to hurt for them, the memory of them, because suffering their loss keeps them alive in a way. Hurting that someone is gone let's us be emotionally tied to them, because pain is better than oblivion, because of the guilt of ever being whole or happy again without them, because letting go feels like betrayal. It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, and ripping the emotional wound open at least allows us to feel something, it keeps their memory alive through our pain.
If you are reading this, beautiful people full of life and future, and you have lost me, I want you to move on. I want you to be happy and whole again, let me go. My legacy is your bright future, not my tattered past. I am me, I am you, I am your parents, your children, your brother, your sister, your teacher, your student. I am your lover, your spouse, the stranger you dont know, your closest friend, and your most disliked adversary. If you are reading this, it is okay, we are okay. Please let me go. Good luck, and I'll be cheering for you from the finish line.
❤️
I hope your life fills with unimaginable happiness. Don't give up
keep going love, you deserve the happiness those who love you would want you to have. You deserve to live fully and happily
You have given me a new perspective of what the story's reality was. Thank you.
Wow!! This is legitimately the first soul crushing (my favorite type) video has left me speechless. You are a living legend Mr. Somnium a living legend you and Ms. RomNex keep them rolling my friend!
First one to hit me in my feels like a groin kick was the whats it like "when the stars die out" or something? Its similar in a way
@@polincgoku6658 I can’t remember the first one! There’s been so many. The recent one was notes in the dark I believe is what it’s called
Compared to the other stories I’ve listened to on your channel, this one was the hardest to listen to. This didn’t feel like a horror story, this felt painfully real. Understanding that you can’t fix somebody is painful yet essential, you can only help somebody so much but you cannot help somebody who doesn’t wish to be saved. I’m grateful that you posted this story, it’s helped me realise a few things about past relationships. Thank you for your stories.
Goddamn… The acting in this one is phenomenal (it usually is, but still)! You and Rom KILLED it-I got completely sucked in! 👏👏 Rough, but so extremely worth the listen. Love the Feelspasta ones! Thanks for having me ❤❤
You did great, it's always awesome working with you :)
@@Darksomnium Aww I feel the same way! I need to have you both back on my channel again soon 😆
I don't get when people need to use g d word. It's satin's curs God does damn things. Satin dam's everything. Damn you satin, every thing that is not peace and tranquility with out doubt and? all is peace and perfect. Beyond human comprehension. 😢 Posts you did years ago look me up there. JDP Underhill created
This was geniunely terrifying for me. I had no expectations- I just listen to these while i work- but instantly, a girl with my name, the same looks (minus the actual horror) and a similar past? I was so concerned I went to check and see if I knew the author. 10/10 nearly had a heart attack
This was beautiful, but definitely soul-crushing. I was with a guy for five years, type one diabetic, depressed, and didn't take care of himself. I had to make him eat sometimes or he would let his blood sugar get so low he could've gone into a coma. There were a few times I had to call an ambulance so they could inject him with sugar (I think?). But yeah, I remember calling home from work to check on him, the phone ringing and ringing, and I would leave work to see if he was okay and 50% of the time he wasn't, he was passed out with low blood sugar, moments away from ketoacidosis (low blood sugar coma). 5 years of trying to save someone that couldn't save himself. I was 18 when it started.
This hit me like a freight train.
As a fellow type one diabetic I want to say I know how hard it is to take care of it. Especially when others have to help you along. A lot of diabetics get sick of being sick and seeing no end in sight. I’m sorry you went through this. It’s sad when it happens. But yeah it was dextrose they injected him with. It’s sugar water. It’s what we call glucagon. He shouldn’t had multiple at home. They get it free from the insurance and pharmacy if he told them he was having low blood sugar issues. Some people just don’t want to go on. And that’s always rough. I’ve dealt with that a bit on my own. But it gets better. You were a good person and he was also taking advantage of you. I’m glad you got free of that situation honey.
Knows the word keto acidosis but not insulin LOL! (I’m totally teasing you). I’m sorry you went through that. I can’t even imagine the constant worry he put you through.
For how many things I've listened to from your chanel and many others, this is one of only a few in YEARS to make me genuinely uneasy, I LOVE IT
Wow…. Another one of the deep phycological ones. You really know how to touch my heart man. It’s the compositions. The music touches my soul more than anything my entire life. I’m here for you all. We are all in this together. Don’t forget that.
Your narrations are beautiful Somnium, thank you. I suffer from severe depression and the end of the story made me cry, it's not often something moved me like that. Thank you.
im so glad you liked it, i hope your doing okay
The new semester of school is absolutely killing me, but your upload schedule is keeping me sane
Thank you!
This really hit something personal in me.
I was going to attempt a couple of weeks ago before being stopped by the girl who brought me so much pain to put me in that state.
Sometimes ppl just aren’t good for you.
I'm so glad you didn't go through with it, how are you feeling now?
Same here, also a few weeks ago and also because of someone close. They weren't there to stop me though. I called hotlines and am still here. If some aren't good for us then we just have to be good for ourselves. I hope you're doing better now, no one is worth our life but we are
@Rain Remnant we have to be our own reasons. I'm glad you made it. Remember to be kind to yourself. We don't break from 1 hit but usually after layers of bad quick fixes to our lifetime of varying hurts gives way to that last blow.
@@Darksomnium I’m not going to lie and say “I’m so glad I didn’t”. However I’ve had a couple good days since then. I literally just take it day by day. Thank you for your concern. 🙂
@WereOtter taking it day by day is what i do too, it's less overwhelming. It gets better with work and time, having a support system helps too. I hope things get better for you, and im so proud of you for getting past your attempt and continuing to push forward 💜 thats not easy
DAMN this is captivating. I appreciate the extended outro, letting the weight of the ending settle in. Well done sir! Might just be my favorite, if not a very close second
I'm so glad you liked it!
@@Darksomnium Hey man, just wanted to say it’s a pleasure watching your videos. Never stop doing what you do.
@@Probably_Deadpool thank you so much!
Wow, first time in a while ive cried. I was in the possition of the protagonist once, just an afterthought and used and all that...
Anyhow, great story, out of all the creepypasta guys on yt, you have the best taste!
(Also the fact you respond to almost all comments is really cool c: )
this one hit really close to home as I've pretty much lived through something similar but from charlies point of view, amazing story and amazing narrators keep up the amazing work!
This story is very well written and performed beautifully. It did hit a little bit close for comfort for myself I could and do relate to almost all of it, from the abuse, mental health issues, finding someone to love and struggling to do so, harming yourself and feeling unworthy of love, I could go on but what a great way to express and explain a life experience that others may not be able to understand.
Wow, this story crushed my soul a tad bit. Great job as always guys.
A master at work. Thanks for the new content Ronnie! I can't wait to listen.
I hope you like it!
@@Darksomnium wait, you are named ronnie!?!? omg you are the first person i've heard of also named ronnie!!!!
I'm really glad that you are posting more stories lately. And i especially likes these feelpastas. This one reminded me of that one story where there is a sand, or ash storm outside of house and main characters stay in but it is actually really story about losing someone. I will try to find it in your videos later. So please do more feelpastas 🙂
i can’t explain how appreciative i am for these stories. i hit these periods of being excruciatingly bored and start slipping into these darker headspaces and these stories bring a little bit of distraction and almost adrenaline to my life. there are even times that they strike nerves and steer me into feelings i haven’t felt since whatever event kicked them up in the first place. Ik you don’t wake up in the morning with the goal of helping your audience’s mental health and it’s not at all your responsibility, being completely honest i should just go to a therapist, but until then i thank you for the stories and i hope making these give you the same comfort you give your audience
My god, I wanted a creepy pasta not a depresso expresso pasta ಠ_ಠ
This story made me feel so many familiar emotions I haven’t felt in a while, and it reminded me of the feelings and the things I have over came myself. Your work makes me speechless every story I listen to. Please keep up the amazing work you do, your a light in a world of darkness for many people.
I've been sick for a couple days, super boring. Ive been watching your videos and its atleast giving me something to listen to. Thank you, keep up the good work!
I’m there with ya my friend I’ve been sick for 20 days and haven’t been able to leave the house these stories always give me comfort
@@bigman2626 oh my! I hope you get better soon. I can't imagine being sick that long. I'm so sorry, feel better! ❤️
ah man, this one hit too close to home. Especially the feeling of needing to fix someone or be there for them, no matter how much it ruins you. Knowing you _are_ better off without them, but loving them too much to leave.
Very great story
This one really hits where it hurts. Keep up the good work and the amazing voice overs. So much emotion!
Bro this story hit me in the feels. I always try to help others, beyond what I should. And it feels good to see them thrive even if it’s for just a fleeting moment, but then you realize how much you hurt yourself trying to help them, to make them better. This was a story that I didn’t know I needed, it felt like I was seen. Thank you for this narration, it was fantastic. Despite these stories being dark they have always been a light in my life. And for that I thank you for sharing stories that very talented people create.
Loving the frequent uploads ronnie, keep up the amazing work.
thank you :)
Wow. This one,,, smh damn… I replayed this about ten times. Still can’t find words to express how much this hits home in away.
The title of this story does not do justice to how excruciatingly painful and horrifying it is to listen to in a deep, emotional level. This wrecked me. Amazing narration, Somnium.
This story was beautifully narrated. I’m currently at work and I had to take a minute to just comment and say thank you. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your productions and they make my spare time, as well as my time I spend working, very enjoyable. So thank you! From the bottom of my heart I appreciate the authors work and your narrations that bring them to life! Have a fantastic day friend!
The constant uploads keep me in the best flow for work, and I really missed a story like this! Wonderful work as always!
There is something deep and true and resonant in this story. The best fantasies cast subtle shades back at reality and help us see our world in another way. This was a powerful story and the narration really brought it to life. Thank you.
I was listening to this at work and after finishing it I just KNEW it was by Dopabear. Their writing style is just so beautiful and magical, like a fever dream. Your narrations bring to life her writing in ways that I can't describe. It is amazing. Thank you for introducing me all these stories I'd have never found otherwise.
probably one of the most accurate metaphors for abusive relationships ive ever seen
I usually never leave any comments on any videos in youtube but this one just broke me (and even made me cry) The story touched me in different parts. The thoughts of self harm, struggle of a failing relationship and trying your best to endure it all cause you "love" her, hell you'll do anything you can for that relationship to survive even assorting to self harm.
The outrageously good writing partnered with your immaculate narrating Dark just hits something in you makes you feel the story in more ways than one. Well done! This will be another favorite for me from this channel. ❤️
Thank you for your content it's been helping me through hard times .my daughter in hospital she still hasn't woken up I been playing your stories she love your creepypasta stories.
I hope she wakes up soon Natasha.
This is one of the best, but also tragic stories you've read. I think we can all relate to loving someone who we cannot save to the point that it brings immense pain. Great job as usual, man! I listen to you read frequently. I love your content.
We appreciate your hard work and quality choice of stories 🙏🏾 I’d say keep up the good work, but you’ve got that taken care of
Thank you :)
I've decided to go through every video and relisten to all. This story have me such heavy feelings, incredible amounts of goosebumps. Well done, being transported to these stories, while working outside in the heat is a feat I havent had before listening to your stories. I simply cant enjoy other channels as much. Thank you very much
So many tragic ways to see this story, when so often people end up doing this in one way or another. Endlessly sacrificing. Reminds me of a grown up giving tree.
I'm not even done, but wow! The writing is so good! I've listened to tons of these stories, but this author just has such a way with words. It felt novelistic.
I'm only 15 minutes in and may have to eat my words by the end but, deep down, I've always wanted someone to write so beautifully about me as he does about Charlie. The poetic curiosity of her essence and the constant yearning to know her deeper pulls at my achy heartstrings. To be a muse...
After finishing the story; I am in a million pieces 😢💔
@@iamV10010 it's strangely beautiful. While a metaphor of letting go, the story itself ties to folklore I have read before in a beautiful way. Like the Lennean Sidhe. I often wonder if it was truly an accident or if Charlie intentionally crashed her car after Theo was sent to the hospital. God? It's so heart-rending because you want to help the other person so badly, that sense of empathy and desire to take on someone else's pain, but in the end everyone's pain is their own, the best we can do is support them through it or give them the space to grow from it.
I'm sure you are someone's muse, you just might not realize it.
@@iamV10010 I have some super glue. I'd be happy to help put you back together. You'd be kind of like humpty dumpty but hotter.
This was beautiful, in the most disgusting hurtful way possible. You wonderfully narrated and edited this story. It shows part of the pain of CPTSD and Loving someone who has suffered through...
this one was heavy, and i really enjoyed it. the fight dialogue and delivery felt so real! loved listening to this but it did make me wanna take a nap a lil after all that energy LMAOOO
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever read, I am brought to the brink of tears every time I hear it. It’s so hard to love someone who can’t love themselves, who can’t get past their hurt or their pain. I feel so hard for this protagonist, and for Charlie. Heartbreaking. This is what creepypastas can really do, they’re more than just a scary story. That’s why I love this genre.
For once I'm early! You've been blessing us with consistent uploads lately Ron.
Hyped for another amazing narration.
im glad you could make it! i hope you like the storyu!
@@Darksomnium Loved it!
Love these narrations, I'm a trucker and I love listening to these going down the road, I have literally watched everything on your channel, even that league of legends video. Thank you for keeping me awake during my night drives!
Only 10 min or so into this one but thought I'd come to say what a great job on this story so far - it is so real to me, and as a person very much like the Charley in the story listening to it and reading the comments I think I was correct in my decision to stay away from relationships so as to minimize inflicting myself on people. Looking forward to continuing to listen to the rest of the story, though it cannot possibly end well for the characters
I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
Oh my God that was heavy ! For the last 3 years I have been extremely depressed so I can relate to Charlie in so many ways . This made me cry for the last 15 mins of the story 😢
This story is probably one of the most heartbreaking stories ive heard, truly a wonderful work with the voice acting and the narration, i was blown away simply, thank you for the narration
Dear brother this story is a masterpiece. And its a story that that hits close to home. And and you have done a great narration and you’ve brought these characters to light with your expertise. A proper 10/10 my man. Love your work and I wish you the best my friend.
Much appreciated!
I'm speechless. It was a well written and well produced video and story. It hurts even more being able to relate to certain parts.
Can you do more from this author? I loved that story a lot. It was well narrated too :)
Yeah I've done a bunch of her stuff before and plan to do more :)
Fantastic job, you and Rom at your finest. The story is wonderfully written but the two of you made its telling complete in a way few others could. Thank you very much. Cheers, Lee.
Man, this one really hits home after being in a really abusive relationship. It's been years when it ended, but I can still remember it too vividly, and in retrospect, best gift that she gave me was when she left me, since I'm not sure that I could have, no matter how bad it hurts.
Fantastic story, in any case.
I'm glad you aren't in that anymore :)
@@Darksomnium Not more than I am, but it makes an interesting point of view, since it's really strange to think how hard it's to let go. It's hard to comprehend abusive relationships unless they're experienced first hand. No more worries.
My god.. I love how you edit in even the smallest of details it really makes listeners feel like there actually in the story sometimes. I wish I knew how to make a video as good as these are, I really do love the horror story’s from this channel they are truly amazing.
I love your work so much! I think you must the the only person that can deliver the deepest of meanings in stories as such, thank you for all the effort you've put into this!
You guys are amazing voice actors, you breathe such life into these stories that it truly feels real, as much as I wish they didn't! And I just gotta say... Dopabeane does it again! What a prolific author!
You are churning out content, Ronnie! Glad to see it, mate. Hope you and Rom are doing well! :)
We are thank you! How are you doing
@@Darksomnium Doing great! Thanks for asking, man :)
@@Darksomnium very good to all of you.
The metaphor of this story is truly beautiful and unfortunately for some (including myself) very relatable. I loved the narration.
On a roll brother.. thank u for this. Stuck in hospital in N.C. atm and this is gonna get me through a bit.
Dang I hope you're okay!
@@Darksomnium my daughter's follow up from her bone marrow transplant.. and now being tested for luchemia
I know this story all too well with my sister. Of all the stories I've heard, this one really broke my heart. ❤ Hits close to home. Thank you for the amazing narration.
The ammount of amazing videos you've been putting out lately is awesome. It gives so much great content that me and my GF love listening too. Thanks for brightening up our days!!
Thank you so much :) I hope you both have a great day!
The resolve of this story is absolutely brilliant. It uses a supernatural premise to illustrate a real-world scenario. A willingness to give all you can to a person to the point of self detriment doesn't equal happily ever after. Sometimes you gotta let 'em go no matter how bad it feels in order to heal. Loving someone who makes your life miserable is real. And just like this creepy pasta. The only solution is to let go. Regardless of the void their absence leaves behind.
This definitely gave me the feels, also reminded me of the story about the wife peeking around corners. That one still has be freaked out.
I thought you did creepypastas, this just sounds like a normal relationship.
In all seriousness though, this might be my favorite narration you’ve ever done. Really hit close to home.
This story was the best thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life I got chills from the story but your narration skills made it so much better if it was anybody else I wouldn’t like it but your the best narrator EVER this video was amazing (I listened to it on Spotify tho)
Thank you :)
Thank you so much for speaking all of the metaphors and taking the time to add in careful details of the voice readers, etc. it’s a great great reading of it ❤
This story hits way to close home, I think I really need to rethink my relationship right now, It may sound weird, but the story opened my eyes to something I wasn't seeing
I hope you're doing okay!
This one was truly gut-wrenching. I've been on both ends of this, it sucks, the pain feels never--ending. But it gets better. It does.
Well, after hearing this I need to go hug someone.
That heaviness is a testament to how much life you give these stories.
In my head the existence of Charlie reminds me of the Scottish Lennean Sidhe. The "sweet heart" faerie. They are a sort of "vampire" in that they are the muse of poets, artists and musicians but they slowly draw the life from the artisans who fall in love with them. The thing is their existence isn't necessarily malicious but more so tragic. There are some folklore stories where the faerie actually takes great pains to separate themselves from their lover so that their lover might live. This story greatly reminds me of that. The faerie itself is a metaphor for obsession and how the pursuit of a single thing to the exclusion of all else will overtake someone's entire existence until they die. Part of me thinks of Charlie like this. It's sad, but thank you for reading this.
I was expecting a horror story, and I instead got one of the most intriguing stories about mental health I've ever heard. Great job, as always.
I didn’t get the chance to comment on your last video, but I really enjoyed it. The thought of being trapped inside of an underwater cave always scares the crap out of me 😅.
This was tough. Not just “hurting people hurt people”, but also how when we have been hurt badly enough, the only solution is to hurl ourselves into oblivion, as if self destruction is some kind of desperate attempt at a solution until we come to believe that it’s our duty or karma to continue on with pain. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m the only listener that got hit hard by this one; I wish it wasn’t so relatable for most people. This is probably one of the top 3 best stories on this channel, and that’s saying a lot!
This is literally the saddest story I've ever heard.. I'm a tough cookie to crack and I about cried at work.
