I've been married for almost two years and I know that's not a lot of years but it already feels surreal. This reminds me of how we first met. I was working at a Thai restaurant and heard the door open and in walked a dorky white guy in mismatching socks, a Indiana jones hat and the dorkiest pink shorts and work shirt and that face that I'll never forget.. He was cherry tomato red staring at me and when I made eye contact he looked away and thus began 3 months of him coming in as a regular turning cherry red and me, who just before meeting him had literally accepted a life of cats. Craziest thing too. I told myself one day after those 3 months that if he didn't ask me out that day it then I wouldn't ever date him, didn't matter if he asked me out the next day I would say no. And then that day he walked in ordered and walked out and I was soo bummed but then heard the door open again right after her walked out and he ran back in and up to me and asked me out as red as a tomato. We started dating then we got engaged 2 years later in 2020. We bought a home and moved in thanksgiving of 2020 and adopted a Tortoiseshell cat and then a tuxedo cat soon after. We got married early 2021, surrounded by people we love. Early this year, we started a garden in our backyard with wild flowers around a hammock we like to share when its calm outside. We lay on the couch almost every night and watch scary videos before bed and we share chores together every Saturday. and my favorite is when its a nice night we go on a walk together holding hands. I hope one day I can look back and add onto this post with bigger updates... :3 Maybe even one where we have two more little ones running around our house!

My bf died from cancer, this was our favorite song. before he died, we had a party for him. me and him had our last kiss, he handed us (my friends and family) each handmade cards, saying goodbye. we didn't know he would die the next day. I have videos of me and him saved in my computer. I have never dated since then. Me and him were sure we'd grow old together, heck, we made a whole bucket list together. But we never got to finish it. I miss you Felix, happy 5 year anniversary.

As a 23 year old who has never had a relationship and craves intimacy but without the modern day crap , the old school kinda love, this music literally makes me sad yet hopeful that maybe one day, just one day i will slow dance in the kitchen with the love of my life with tears of happiness because that is what my heart has desired for all these years. I hope all of us hopeless romantics find their love in this lifetime ❤

My parents were married in 1984. Mom passed 9 years ago and Dad followed two years ago. Sometimes it feels like the wonderful childhood I lived was a dream, something that I saw in a movie. I know they’re together again, but it’ll never stop hurting. I was lucky to have them for 36 years. Love you Mom and Dad, and thank you, thank you for everything. I’ll be along in a little while.

My father has always told that some people are in your life for a chapter or two while some are there until the book ends. Make sure the person you fall in love is someone you want to be there until your book ends

Loving someone more than yourself is a dangerous yet beautiful thing, isn't it?

I turn 32 in a week, and I am just reminded of how much life I have lived married to my beautiful wife of 8 years. It doesn't feel like that long ago we'd be texting late at night... sharing our dreams and aspirations for our lives together. We got married, graduated college, purchased a condo, adopted a dog, traveled, sold the condo, bought a house, suffered multiple miscarriage's, finally had our daughter but was born in distress (due to COVID), cared for her and nursed her to full health, momma had health complications (almost lost her), cared for momma and nursed her to full health, had another beautiful daughter, all 3 of my girls are healthy and doing well. Life will always have seasons of great challenges, pain, and sorrow - but to do that with the perfect partner..... you will always have joy. Before her I was lonely. I didn't have any meaningful relationships in high school, and I never felt deserving of one. Life was a challenge as a young adult, but hold on to hope people - that special person is out there!!! Do not settle for anything less! Life is so precious.

Who would've thought I'd be crying over every comment's story? Hearing about other people's human experiences can be the most wonderful thing or absolutely soul-crushing.

I spent the first 25 years on this earth filled with heart ache and doubt. Than this girl walked into the store I worked at looking for a job. She was beautiful inside and out, way out of my league. I’m 34 now; married to that girl and have two incredible daughters with her. That loneliness that gnawed at my young life is dead now and in that death the birth of this beautiful tree of love lives in me now. Hold out hope, true love will find you my friends.

Married for 6 years now. We had a health scare. She needed to be hospitalized. I dropped everything to stay with her. I even messed up and forgot to eat almost making myself sick. She’s back home and I had to take care of her (something I’ll gladly do just so she has the strength to smile again). I didn’t sleep much, just wanted her to be okay. I would come home from work and my heart would drop every time because if I open this door the room will be empty. Finally she’s getting better. Yesterday was the first day in more than a month I saw her truly smile and laugh again. We have normalcy coming back in our lives, but with major changes due to her diagnosis. I will do anything for her. May our health stay well and strong.

Imagine: Marrying the guy of your dreams! Moving in with him Cuddles on the couch! And then some years down the line finding out your pregnant with his child Watching your child/kids grow up together as you both grow older Being 75 and still loving each other with youthful love Having grandkids And lastly being able to spend your last moments together ❤

My husband has had schizophrenia for 6 years. It'll be 10 years this upcoming February that we've been together. I miss the old life we used to share. We both agree that we should have never taken it for granted. Please pray for us.

It's 2:00 am and I'm alone in my house, listening to this masterpiece and reading the comments and seeing so many strangers sharing the pain they have gone through or the pain they are going through hurts me. I am grateful to God for bringing me here as I am able to witness that humanity is still alive and there are so many good people in this world who care about a stranger. I wish that the people reading this may have a great life ahead .

Missing someone I don't have or know is a different type of pain

When i feel exhausted... I lay down, put on my headphones, play one of this musics and just scroll through the comments... Makes me see life in a different way...so many strangers and so many stories...some are sad, some are happy, some are just reading the comments just like me.. And the most beautiful part is they not only just tell stories they listen to your stories too !.. A beautiful side of humanity

its crazy how this song has brought so many people together to share their pain, I just want yall to know i dont know who yall are but I love you guys

Not really missing anybody but just missing love, the whole feeling of being in and loved, that spark, just being with someone

Two months ago I lost the love of my life, she fought hard but one day the bright on those beautiful brown eyes just went off. She asked me to continue but I can’t, she was everything for me, we dreamed about our family and our future and now there’s nothing left. Now she lives in my dreams and my heart; I would give whatever just to see her smile one more time. I love you infinite my little girl.

I’m 17 and I’ve never been in a relationship. But seeing these comments makes me feel happy for those with relationships. I wish everyone the best.

Met my husband when we were 8. Didn’t date until we were 17. Married at 21. We’re turning thirty this year….this brings peace to mind. No kids so far but hopefully in the future. It’s been an adventure so far and it’s tough some days. But other days it’s true happiness.

I met a boy my English class in college. We were working in groups that day. He was across the class room and we just happened to lock eyes at the same time at each other. When class was over we talked for the first time and he was so comfortable and easy to talk to. We talked everyday. Stay up all night talking about everything underneath the stars. Had crappy first cars that we loved. Went on first vacation, first expensive restaurant an payments with our minimum wage jobs. Everything was new to us FFW 10yrs later we are married and he bought us a home to start a family in. I love him and appreciate him in my life. He is a hard working man

“Nothing lives forever except the memories you made with them. Now those last a lifetime”

2 years after my husband of 13 years walked out on our 3 kids and me, I went on a blind date. We married one year after our first date. 22 years later, we still walk hand in hand at times I feel as though we’re still dating. His love helped heal my heart. I still thank God for bringing him into my life; our faith in Christ has been our firm foundation.

I dated a girl who used to tell me I treated her like she was my wife, and that she felt like I would give her the world if I could. This song reminds me of her, and it makes me think of what could've been in another life. We used to spend so many nights talking about how we wanted to decorate our house, how we wanted to travel together, how we wanted to get midnight snacks together, how we wanted to dance in every storm that came, how we wanted our wedding to look, how we wanted to get old and watch each other learn and change. It really feels like a past life. I haven't talked to her in probably about year, but I still think of her every day. She moved away for college and broke it off because of that. Mutual friends told me they aren't even allowed to say my name because it's such a trigger. I tell them I'm fine and they can say hers, but really it spikes a pain in me every time. A part of me wishes she'd come back, but another part of me knows it's probably for the best. We were each other's first everything's, and we dreamed of being each other's lasts too. She told me she wanted to try again in the future when we split, but I don't know if I could bring myself to do it. A part of me feels like I'm not even capable of moving on from her though. It feels dumb to say because we're both so young, but she helped me experience life in a way I never had before, and in a way that I'm afraid I'll never get to experience again. To be honest, she was far from perfect and kind of a bad girlfriend (her words, not mine) but it didn't matter to me. It felt perfect when we were together. She felt like the girl I had always imagined myself being with, even though I never really imagined anyone. Now all I can imagine is her, but she's gone. I deleted everything that could possibly remind me of her off my phone. I want to forget her. I think that's the only way I'll true move on. I need to forget how perfection felt.

Just laying here in my bed reading all these comments and listening to this beautiful video and my mind just goes back to one of my favorite memories of my now husband and I. We were staying with his grandmother for a couple weeks until our apartment was ready and one particular night we went out to the movies (which is our favorite date activity, mainly his but I love it so much bc of how much he loves it) and we sat out the theater afterwards just talking about life and we had so many breakthroughs that night. Then we drove home and once we got back to the house, we went to the front porch and played Unconditional by Freya Ridings on my phone and we danced on the porch. For 3 minutes and 17 seconds, every single thing was actually perfect. So perfect he cried in arms about how much he loved me. And my eyes filled with tears as well. I’ll never forget that moment we shared. And here we are a year and some change later married and just as in love, if not deeper in love.

It took me 35 years to understand that only my parents loved me unconditionally. I tried to love everyone in my life unconditionally and expected them to love me. It never happened. I am at peace now with myself. Never stopped loving my life and the people around me. Just No expectations from anyone now. This music takes me somewhere I belong. I come here more often now.

I wish the entire world was like this comment section. Probably the most vulnerable and loving section I’ve seen. All of these stories made me emotional. I feel like when people are talking about their pain or their love-nothing else matters in that moment. It’s not about physicalities or ideologies. Just a human sharing their experiences. I wish we could all live in that harmony. I’ve never had a romantic relationship and I’ll soon be 25. It’s a scary thing to me. I read stories like this and my heart yearns for that feeling. Loving someone selflessly. Sacrificing yourself. Going through tough and great moments together. What is that like? But then I think, if it hasn’t happened for me then I’m not ready or prepared for it. I hope that one day, I’ll come back to this section and share my experience of marriage & falling in love. It seems like the most beautiful thing we get to have

This song randomly come up and I decided to listen before I went to sleep. 30 seconds in... I broke down in tears. For 5 minutes, tears wouldn't stop flowing. I was reminded of my best friend who got in a car accident on my 21st birthday. I didn't want a party because my birthday was on a Thursday and I had a 7am class the next day. We all planned to go out on Saturday. Him and a coworker were driving home when they were in a head-on collision. He was the only one not to die on impact. I didn't know until I was waiting for the bus and saw someone share a post on FB about the accident. I frantically called everyone to find which hospital he was in and ran 3 miles from my apartment to see him. He fought for 6 days but passed away. I still remember his body reacting when I was in the room with him. I grabbed his hand, his foot flinched, his grasp tightened but then all monitors started blaring. The nurse rushed in and gave a sedative, but that was the last time I ever saw him move again. I went everyday but I regret every day not seeing has last breath. My heart couldn't take it. At the funeral, I didn't sit next to any of my friends, I sat in the front across from his family and waited until I was one of the last people to see his body. I held my tears for a while but I broke down instantly after I walked up. I turned around and hugged his mom so tight that all family members around her began to cry with us. She told me I was his best friend and thanked me for being there for him every day. Thanksgiving was the next day and I had to drive 8 hours to see my family. At the dining table with 20 people there, when it was my time to say what I was thankful for, I broke down crying after mentioning him and how he saved 12 people being a donor. I accidently made my whole family cry. For 3 years afterward, I fought severe depression. I went to see 3 different doctors before I found the one who saved me. She didn't look at me with pity but as someone who needed someone to talk to. It's been 5 years since and I am still facing high anxiety and panic attacks but my life is somewhat livable again. I am finally going back to college and finishing my degree even though I failed all my classes the year he passed away. I am facing an uphill battle but I am no longer running away, I will face whatever I need to. I will live my life well as my way to honor my best friend's life.

Crazy how I can go drink with the buds and get hammered. Smile on my face but as soon as it’s 2 and the bars close down, everyone waved goodbye and says see you next time. I walk in my front door and set my keys down. The sound of the metal keys hitting the wood counter top. Dead silent. Because I am alone, she has left and no one can replace her. No one will replace her, I will find a new chapter but this one seems to be going on forever and I can’t find the words to end it. Till the next chapter begins I guess.

This song brought an emotion I’ve been trying to keep buried with a solid wall around for months. My ex wife, my bestfriend, the person I almost died for on a deployment had an affair on me with a childhood friend. I came back and wasn’t emotionally there but still loved her. It’s so hard because I thought I was doing everything right. I was loyal and faithful. Sure I had flaws nothing abusive but little things. I never thought she’d do this or be so cold. 4yrs gone and she left to live with him. I’m stuck in a new state barely making it and alone by myself with no way to go back to at least my family or friends. Thought about suicide so many times. Hell this song makes me want to end it peacefully because I’m so hurt. Sure I get asked on dates but no one can compare to her. She was my everything. I feel bad for crying now which hasn’t happened in a long time. So used to hiding my emotions but it hurts so bad. Knowing that regardless you weren’t good enough. Last I saw she was happy with his family and even thinking about having a kid with him. I worked so hard to try to have a family with her. I thought she was the one. She told me before she got married that she didn’t believe in divorce which made me happy because neither did I. I would’ve went to hell and back with her yet she left me at my lowest point for someone else. What hurts even more is that she said it was Gods will that rough her and him together. What hurts even more is that even if she comes back I can’t accept it because my trust is gone. It hurts so fucking much guys. I really loved her and it just seems so unfair how she is so happy and I’m literally on the verge of being homeless and losing everything I worked so hard for. I’m a nobody to you guys but please cherish love. Cherish your relationship and communicate. I pray you all have long lasting relationships because people like me are hurting so much. I thought I was doing the right thing going on that deployment to take care of her and help people but now I’m so hurt and wishing to die has never crossed my mind until now. The pain hurts so much. I lost everything including my furry bestfriend; my cat who has been there for me when she wasn’t. People say karma is real but I just don’t know. It’s been 7 months and I’m still not over it because I truly opened up to her. I’m sorry if I ruined a beautiful musical piece but this song brought out my emotions.

She was the centerpiece of my childhood, she played with me when my parents were busy at work, sing karaoke off key, pretend to be my customer while i pretend to be her chef, went around the world with her, lost her undergarments at santorini because she was drying it and the wind blew it off, farting nonstop because shes susceptible to spicy food, hating michelin food and we both love to watch the voice. She introduced me to jazz which made me want to become a singer. She was everything an 18 year old could ever asked for. Although she suffered alot during her life such as poverty and household abuse she never hold grudges, complain or being jealous that i grew up with a silver spoon. She saw herself in me and gave the best childhood i had. Ladies and gentlemen, mother, grandmother, compadre, partner in crime and hombre Diana Liew. The greatest grandmother I experienced in this world passed on 9/9/22. Her death marked the end of my childhood. I will call my child Diana because I always told her she would become a great grandmother with a girl named Diana. May your first day at heaven office be a welcome party ❤️

I’ve messed up so many times but Jesus Christ picked me up every time. Thank you Jesus. You are Lord and Life.

It's the simple things in life that matter, folks. No statement is truer. I have been married for a while now to the love of my life, and we have shared many special moments... walking on the beach at sunset, traveling to incredible places and saying "WOW" together, we have done big projects together and hugged and celebrated many times.... but every single morning I wake up first and go to the kitchen and have breakfast, I do my chores, meditations, go to the gym, waiting for her to wake up. When she texts me "hi baby", I take her to bed two things she absolutely loves: her cat and a cup of coffee. When I walk in the room with her cat she smiles. Oh that smile, I see it every single morning and it's better than any sunset, any victory in life, it warms me more than anything. She cuddles with her kitty and then I bring her coffee. When she takes that first sip and says "hmmmmmm....it's perfect", that sound is better than any symphony we've been to. And often I think that maybe one day I won't have that anymore, God forbid, life changes, seasons are cyclical... but until then I will live and savor these gorgeous simple things God has given me and I will cling on to them for as long as I can, you know why? Because these simple things are the true meaning of happiness. It's the simple things, folks.

I once talked to an older gentleman in his late 40s early 50s. It was quite an experience. He never had a wife or had kids, so he never got to create a family of his own. He said to me that, making a family is the most rewarding thing that someone can do. I was planning on never having a wife, let alone a girlfriend. But hearing that from someone who lived that life, I think I’ll have one. I’ve got time, lots of it.

I lost my beautiful husband nearly 3 years ago. We had been friends since we were 13. I can never explain the deep feeling of loneliness I feel knowing his absence. He was always there and now suddenly not. My whole world has been shaken and I don’t know when it will feel right again. No one else cares. I love you Dave ❤😢

I've been married to my wife for about 5 years now. Back before we were married we would go on countless dates, late night drives, late night conversations, anything to be around each other. After sometime things slowed down like they do in plenty of relationships but we both realized that we shouldn't like the highs dictate how we are or feel towards one another. We both kept moving on with life and decided to tie the knot. Things were again to our highs. Being around our family and seeing how far we've both come on our own but most importantly together. Things were stressful. Getting used to a new place, people, routines everything. Fast forward 5 years and we're happy but I could tell that we were just comfortable. I saw this playlist about 2 weeks ago and every night I thought about all the things we used to do when we were young dumb kids realizing they were in love. I'm planning on taking her to a ball so she could dress up and get all pretty. I love it when she feels confident. We never attended prom together due to us not knowing each other in high school but one thing I remembered after a couple months of us being together is what we would do if we would've gone to prom. So this will be our prom. Our time to remind ourselves why we fell in love with one another. I love you ush

Is it just me or does it kinda feel good when you cry almost like a sigh of relief because you know that at least you can still feel emotions even if it’s not the good kind sometimes I wonder when my rainy days will cease to exist the dark clouds will part and it’ll be sunny again just waiting on that day to finally know who I am and feel like I’m wandering through thick fog the saying “I can see clearly now” hits so different now I never understood what people meant when they said that but now all I want to be able to see clearly

About a year and a half ago, life sucked. I was depressed and thought about ending it quite a few times. I had no light in my life and every night I would cry myself to sleep. I discovered this one day and listened to it often, as it gave me a chance to embrace those thoughts. But I'm here to tell you, it gets better. Trust me. I'm now happy, less insecure and living my life for Christ! ♥️

Seeing everyone else tell there story’s makes me want to share mine so far. But when I listen to this I can’t help but to think of my father.. he’s the one who helped me to overcome my fear of rain and thunderstorms. He would sit on the back porch and listen to the rain hit the metal awning and be at peace. I had never seen him be so calm and laxed, he even mentioned God saying “It’s just gods work, he’s not going to hurt you” And anytime I’d get scared of the lightning he’d tell me “Everytime you hear the thunder count until you hear it again and that’s how farther it’s getting away from us.” I lost my father 3 years ago due to pancreatic Cancer. He fought for a good 2 years and just couldn’t anymore with Covid and everything else going on. He said he wanted to be alive on his birthday and Sure enough he did. He died a week later and for some reason I couldn’t cry.. I couldn’t.. not until a month later I just caved in.. It didn’t feel real and when I cried I struggled so hard to as if he was right here next to me wanting me to smile instead of cry because he’d hate seeing me sad. Even now I struggle to cry hard because it’s like he refuses to let me even in death. I turn 22 this year and I wish my father would’ve lived longer I wish he could’ve saw what I might become, if he’s proud of the path I’m taking, I just want to be hugged one more time by my Pops 💔. So whoever may read this… love those around you And appreciate them for who they are even if they aren’t the best of people, the little things really do matter.

Man. My wife and I are going on 16 years of marriage and we been through so much. Through the rain and pain. But couldn't be better. I thank GOD for inserting her in my life.🙏🏿💯

this makes me think of a life where i'm not constantly running from something, i'll find a man to love and we'll take walks in the rain, i'll cook for him just to see him smile, he'll hold me close in a house of our own and only then ill feel safe and loved. in a life where i'm not unnatural and weird, just loved.

Missing someone and crying

This year, my husband and I will be celebrating 7 years together, 4 years married. This song has always brought me to tears and the movie. I can relate to this movie in that I unfortunately had two miscarriages last year like Ellie. But through all of the tough times my husband has still loved me through everything and cared for me. He is my best friend and I am thankful I get to spend my life with him. Even if we can’t ever have kids, I am happy to go through life with him all the same.

Got out of the Army a few months ago thinking this is what I wanted. I thought I wanted to be a civilian again. I thought the transition would be soo easy and I wouldn’t miss anyone or anything from base, now I cry weekly while listening to this song wishing I could go back and be with my boys again. Now we are all out of the army working jobs. We are all spread out across the country now. I miss them so much. I love them so much . I’ve never cried like I have been. They mean so much to me. Straight up killers, some of the realest mofos I’ve met in my life. I’d kill to be close to them again. I love my brothers in arms.

You can do this, you’ve already come this far. Don’t give up and especially don’t take steps going backwards. Be safe, be strong, and keep your head up. I love you guys💙

I've lost my grandmother recently. Seeing my grandpops sad made me sad. He loved her so much. 60 years of strong marriage that consisted of their love for each other, jokes, families with hugs and kisses, a few arguments but they always would find solutions to their 'disagreement'. Grandpops made sure that Granny was always right. He knew if he said something wrong he'd be in big trouble. She was my best friend. My grandmother taught me how to read books at age 3. She loved books dearly. And every time I visited her she'd start a book and by the time I come back the next day she'd be half way through it. I use to be jealous on how fast she'd read a book. As a child I use to think she had some sort of superpower. When I was around 5 back in 2009 I always asked "Granny, how do you read so fast?!" She never told me her secret. But I think I may have figured it out after all these years. She and I made our share of Harry Potter. It wouldn't be long until she'd read the Goblet of Fire and I'd still be reading The Chamber of Secrets. She gave the warmest of hugs. She made sure that every morning my sister and I were given a good breakfast when we stayed with her, a warm hot water bottle was always tucked in our bed during winter. And our drink of Milo that was good to fill our stomach. She always checked up on us everyday. "How was school today?" And she would always say "dear" after our names. I'm now 18 years old. Last year of high school. I had turned 18 on July 5th this year. My Granny's birthday is July 8th. She would've been 82. I'm grateful to have her slightly next to me on our birthdays. I'm sad she couldn't see me in my red senior tie. But I knew she would've watched me up there somewhere. Receiving my badge and red tie. Her love never ends. I would sometimes feel her energy around me. Knowing she is still here but in another world where she is able to rest and knowing her granddaughter still loves her.

Dear fellow friend You were meant to see this message. I want to let you know, that you have so much to live for. So much to give and receive. You’re talented, smart, and worth everything. You are doing great, don’t ever doubt yourself, don’t question yourself because of certain situations, don’t blame yourself, because everything happens for a reason. Things will get better, you’re stronger than you think, you may not think it….. but I know it. You’re walking proof. You’ve made it through so much already. You are just having another rough patch, and I want to tell you….. that it’s okay! Hang in there, stay strong! You deserve so much, you’re mistakes will never define you. 👋🏻🙂

I’m really struggling with insomnia and depression right now, this is one of the most beautiful things I’ve listened to. I really want things to get better 😔

6 months ago I lost my whole world. We were together for 5 years and I wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with her. This reminds me of the feeling I get when I remember all the beautiful moments, the pain in the end, and the longing for the life we were supposed to have.

This was a nice warm hug, very much needed, this saved yet another soul today

As I listened to this song, I thought about how much my life has changed in just 2 1/2 years… I went from playing on bikes, learning how to drive, graduating, hanging out with my 7 younger siblings who still lived at home at the time, dancing in the kitchen, watching tv and laughing, hanging out in the hot tub at midnight, jumping in the trampoline and riding the lawn mower across the yard. To seeing my mom die from Covid on the same couch we always used to lay on together. Hearing her screams and moans at night because she can’t bare the thought of living another day in that excruciating pain. Watching her go to the hospital over 6 times in one week. And over the course of one week, her getting sick, watching her pass away on a hospital bed. Not getting any sleep for weeks as I watch my family and life fall apart over night. I leave and move out because I can’t look at my house and family same way. Became Depressed, started binge eating, started having panic/anxiety attacks. Lost my car. Slept on a couch for 8 months. Got a new car. Spent over 2-3k on a car that was worth $100 bc I was desperate. Got a new car. Moved out. Got another job. Moved out again. Got a new job. Left that job. Moved again bc of apartment issues. Got a new job an hour away at my new place. Hated that job and begged to find something new. Started working at a charter school for early education. Realized I wanted to teach and love children. Got engaged to my bf. And now I have friends at my new church and I see my fiancés family every holiday bc my family became something I no longer recognize. And yet, after all of it. God is still carrying me through it and I’m gonna be okay❤️as hard as it may seem in the moment

The UKposts comment section in itself is something special and this is no exception. Amazing to read everyone’s stories. Thank you all for sharing. Music is such a gift.

“A Married Life” The title is somewhat endearing, yet straight to the point. The music tells the whole story of what “a married life” truly is. The song has various emotions; it’s tune carry’s the true imbalance and imperfection. But that’s what makes the piece truly perfect. I met my boyfriend of 10 months last October. I had met a new friend a couple months before during the summer. Her and I became close and she had started inviting me to hangout with some of her other friends which included my now boyfriend; only then we barely spoke to each other… but I thought he was the cutest thing. Come October, our city had its annual 3-day fair down the street from my house. My friend had invited me to go with her and her that same group. They walked from one of their houses, close by, and met up with me across from the fair where my house was. My boyfriend and 2 of his friends were ahead of everyone else and met me there first. I’ll never forget making eye contact with him across the street as he had the biggest smile and waved his arms, gesturing “hello!”. At the fair, we were waiting in line for a ride. The line was quite long and I was hungry so I told everyone I was going to the food stands to get a hoagie, and anyone who wished to join me would be welcome to do so. Everyone said they were fine and they’d call me once they got close to the front of the line so I wouldn’t miss it. As I stood in line for my hoagie, he walked up to me and said “I’m kinda hungry too” and smiled. We ordered and there was that little awkwardness that happens when you don’t really know someone. But somehow we clicked when one of us said something about climate change! We ate together, rode together, and spoke to each other the rest of the night. His friends were all in complete shock that he had appeared to have taken interest in someone because they’re all childhood friends and he was notorious for being uninterested in anyone because they were too “boring”. That night, we discovered that we were both studying French and he was ahead of me; so we used that as an excuse to hangout. For a week, everyday before school started we would meet in the library to “study French” but we would take our books out and start talking about anything and everything besides French. A week went by and I was eager to go on a date with him. I told myself one night that if he didn’t ask me out by the next day, I would. He didn’t end up asking me so I took the liberty to ask him myself. Turns out he was planning on doing it the same day. We went out on our first date on the 15th of October and I have never been happier. His impact on my life can merely be explained as how water is to a seed; water nurtures the seed with strength and energy to sprout and create its own roots. He is my best friend and I’m his biggest fan. We have our ups and downs like everyone, but we have not once raised our voices, not once spoken poorly to or about each other. We both know mistakes are to be made, and forgiven. Watching my parents’ marriage fall apart at a young age helped me understand the communication it would take to avoid it. The love and patience you must have for each other. I used to feel unloved and unspecial. But he has not only made me feel those things, but has also made me realize I can feel those things on my own. I can feel loved by others and myself. We are eachothers first relationships, and first everything. No matter where our lives take us I will be forever grateful for us. ----- Sooooo if you read all of that, damn. I’m sorry, I tend to ramble on, especially when I’m passionate about something. And believe me, I’m passionate about this man. I wish love and happiness to everyone who does and does not read this. May life fill you with safety and success, however they may be.♥️

I got engaged in December of 2020, a week after my 19th birthday.We started dating in 8th grade (I was 13, he was 14). We've yet to be married because the last year and a half have been hard on us financially, as well as us emotionally. We had to take in my two younger brothers as well as move into our own apartment (in CA btw). It has been a rollercoaster with many ups and a whole lot of downs. We are finally in a good enough place to plan our wedding. If there is one thing that the last year of stress has taught me is- most men would've left. He not only stayed, he supported. He held me when I broke down. He is the man we needed. And he is the man I am beyond grateful to marry.

It’s my husband’s birthday. He was murdered one year ago. Life is so hard and sad. But as I cry I also feel so lucky to have experienced love and passion. We made a truly beautiful person. Our son was made with so much love and hope . God we had so many amazing times. So much crazy love. I feel so lucky to have been loved. Love with every fiber of your soul. So you have no regrets. Rest in peace my love.

50+ years and he constantly consistently and continuously provides professes and protects we danced to slow songs , travelled the world, watching kids grow , explored our own selves passions, made love.. would do it all over again

Today is day 485. She’s been in the hospital so long... when I listen to this I see her smile and the way the sun looks in her brown eyes. ... the tall ceilings in our home make the empty echo almost as loud as the silence in response to my “I’m home”. It always manages to escape my lips before I remember. Tell those you love, that you love them. Everyday. Don’t miss a single one.

to everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus to everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve. to everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. when you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time. to everyone who is creating, you got this. your art is amazing. remain in your flow and get stuff done! -not mine

Met a girl 3 years back at a bus stop in Brooklyn NY. We looked at each other..strangers..and were immediately inextricably linked. Most beautiful woman I ever saw. Loved each other quickly. After about a year she was told cancer and a one month to live diagnosis. She passed in less than 1 month. I miss her every minute of every day😢

remembering my dad is slowly becoming older makes my heart tighten, we loved each other despite that we had our worst times, and I think I can't bear to be without him once he's gone, if only I was taught that people will be gone then maybe I wouldn't be so heart broken fearing that any time my dad will die.

Finding someone who I truly believe was my soulmate was the best thing to ever happen to me, even if we didn’t last. Like twin flames I guess. For a year I traveled thousands of miles to see him, and by god was that terrifying. I remember shaking in the airport and being a nervous wreck because I couldn’t find a bathroom haha. I remember trying to fix my makeup in the bathroom stall before getting on a bus to see him for the first time. Shaking and nervous, but those nerves were excitement. Looking around me felt so surreal, I was thousands of miles away from home, but I felt so happy. I remember getting off the bus and getting an Uber to his house and calling him. Crying on the phone because I was too anxious to get any words out, him coaching me to regain breaths until “I see you”. I remember looking up out the window, and yes, there he was, waving at me, smiling so wide yet so softly. I remember he ran to open my car door for me, and holding my luggage. I remember “you’re here, you’re really here, we are here”. I remember the first hug, him holding so tightly to me. I wanted to cry. For the first time in my life, I felt so at home, I felt so at peace. Everything felt so calm and perfect. His touch was so warm, he was so bright. I remember us crying in each other’s arms almost every other day I was there about how we will work hard and how we love each other. The silly thoughts about us. We talked about us having a house together, that we would have kids, a tiny dog or two. A garden to sit in and a cozy couch to talk about our days on. I remember laughing with him while we danced and sang together in the kitchen while we tried to cook. I remember running around town late at night, skipping the movies, running to the nearest roof top and watching the town. Watching people and the sky, talking about how we will wake up to each other one day. I remember the last day he held me in the airport. Our final goodbye, but he promised that it wasn’t, that we will meet again, it was just a “see you later.” The hug and then walking away, him turning around and saying “I need another” and hugged me again. I remember the last phone call. I remember the last day of being his girlfriend. I regret bitting my tongue. I hold back so many things I want to say out of fear. I know that love, will be my only love, that one that healed my inner child. The one that made me feel like I can build a new home. The one true love. I talk to him everyday still because he worries, but I don’t have the heart to keep up with it anymore. It makes me miss him too greatly. I want to tell him, I don’t want to give up on us. I don’t want to give up on him. edit : to all of the lovely people messaging me and encouraging me, I did reach out to him and told him all about it. Unfortunately, I don’t think he feels the same, or at least right now sees no future with us. He is confused and needs to think about everything more, he promised an explanation later, he wants to explain every little thing but can’t muster up the words. but sadly at this moment I feel as if he isn’t going to give me one for a long time. I can’t tell if I’m more at peace or not. He’s always been stubborn, I will always have love for him, but I know I’m owed an explanation, with time hopefully I’ll update you all again. Thank you :)

lost my brother to a drunk driver a few years back, when i hear this song it makes me think that everything’s actually gonna be okay. and for awhile while i’m listening, it’s pure bliss.

i'm reading all these beautiful comments, and they all touch my heart in the deepest way. i realized that at my age i still have so much to experience. the lovely stories about married couples and the comments reminiscing about failed relationships/marriages truly brought me back to reality. i realized that in the midst of the chaos that is life, i stopped feeling anything this deeply. i want you to know that if you posted about your story, whether good or bad, you helped a random person on the internet realize how important connections are. people are important, and i definitely forgot that. i promise i'll do better, because everyone in these comments who have gone through life have a purpose. and i believe part of that purpose was to open so many people's eyes. thank you.

It’s crazy to look back on the memories with someone who is now a stranger.

This part of the movie always brings a tear to my eye... it reminds me of when I found out we lost our baby when we went for our first scan and that numbness we both felt. We didnt really speak about it after that. It was such a sad time in our lives but I got pregnant again 3 months later and now I have a one and half year old boy currently sleeping on my lap whilst listening to this. Life is precious and beautiful but its not all happiness and joy. I guess that's what makes life life. It's taught me to always appreciate the little things and enjoy every single minute with my loved ones. I still think of you everyday and I hope I see you in heaven one day.

Listening to this... I had thoughts in the back of my head where I was in a simple home, with my husband and two kids playing at the backyard. Became a good house wife and with a family of my own. I really do like to think it that way. That maybe there's an alternate version of me who chose to have a family. Because in this version of life, I didnt chose him. I chose a different path. And he already chose someone else, and made a family for himself. Sometimes I wonder what could have been. Maybe in my next life. I'd be able to choose family over anything. You will always be the love of my life.

Sometimes I listen to this song when I wanna feel sad and alone. It makes me think about my mum and the memories we shared before she passed away. It’s been six years and I’m starting to forget what her voice sounds like and what her face looks like now but it feels good knowing the fun times are still there even if they hurt

I come here for the stories… as a writer, I’m so inspired by them that I cry a little. Whilst listening to this playlist is like the perfect soundtrack to them all. What cozy part of my day. I’d tell mine, but it’s not finished yet, we’re in the climax part. And I never want it to end. Four years strong and hopefully more to come… I’ll update and share someday. 🖤

I met someone online and she was the one who showed interest in me first. I was overjoyed. Turns out she was born a day after me, and we had only matched one day prior to my birthday. It was as if it were fate. We talked for hours every single day. Worked in the same area, so we would hang out after work every day, only to go home and share music, watch a show, talk on the phone. But as time went on, I can sense that she had shiny object syndrome. Meeting new people is what excited her, and she didn't mind tossing the old for the new. Slowly, I could tell we were drifting apart. A few weeks in and she said she thought we should just be friends. She was no longer interested. Like she exhausted everything she wanted out of me, and no longer saw me in the same way. She was looking for someone, someone like me, but just not me. It was shattering. I could see she was back on the app actively looking while her responses to my messages were scant and far in between. It's been several months, and we're still friends, but the spark just isn't there anymore. It saddens me but I'm slowly healing. I still remember the amount of excitement I'd have going into work every day. All of a sudden I cared about the way I looked, the way I dressed. I'd be buying clothes and planning an outfit; looking presentable was all that matter to me when meeting up with her. The arcade games, the biking on the islands, the walks by the harbour, the rides on the subway. I know she or no one else will read this, but you shattered my heart. Perhaps it was my fault for being so naive. For believing that fate does bring people together. For thinking I was good enough for someone I adored so much. What hurts the most was seeing the peak, and slowly descending to the trough. And not being able to do anything about it. I think things were meant to be this way. I think I was meant to realize that this wasn't meant for me. That there is someone out there that values and cherishes me in a way she never would. She doesn't care about others. She only cares about herself. She was just out of a falling from a friendship and needed someone to fill in the void. I just happened to be that sucker.

I am not married. Not even close. But the image of the video and the atmosphere reminds me of that experience at 26 y old, in which I went on a trip to the capital of my country, just a casual travel for rest time. And I arranged a casual meeting with someone I hadn't seen for 8 years, but we always were in touch, someone who I always liked a lot but was just my friend, or idk, i didnt know if she liked me the way i saw her. Just the first day we saw each other, after 3 hours of meeting us at the airport(she recieve me there), walking, talking and being together, love emerged on its own, and from then on it was 5 days acting as a couple ,meeting her family, and being so deep connected with the most idealized woman in my head, the woman from my dreams, i mean, really, the woman of my dreams because casually sometimes she used to randomly appears in my dreams. Were 5 days totally isolated from my daily life, like a dream of those in which you are waiting to wake up. Unfortunately I woke up when I got back to my house. She doesn't even use social networks, so we dont chat a lot, and she is very absent due to her work, or her lifestyle, so now I have to go back to my normal life, trying to think that none of that happened, or maybe thanking for having such an unusual experience in my daily life, but its pretty hard dont feel a little of nostalgia. (I still have the vivid image in my mind of traveling with her on an empty subway in Buenos Aires, while a man played the violin. In a very similar way to the photo in the video, of course, wondering if that was really happening) I hope one day I can move there and see her again but have something serious with her. Sometimes the good thing in life is the unexpected, what you don't plan and it happens.

I loved a girl in college... 2001 November to be precise. We were madly in love. And then she left me for another guy.( Everytime she spoke about him, she said it was her cousin). She is happily married to that person with a 9 Yr old kid and I am all alone...a 40 Yr old single guy still having memories of her and unable to see any other girl like the way I saw her. It just feels empty at times. I sometimes wonder if she ever even remembers the good times we had.. So...to the lucky people who married the person they love...cherish your company. Good luck to you all.

Over the summer I listened to this song on repeat while yearning for her. I was so inspired by all of the love stories in the comments and commiserated with those who were hurting. Early this fall, I finally found her! We met on a hike, and within three weeks we were dating. The days are too short and the hours are too fast when we’re together. She is everything I’ve ever wanted and so much of what I never knew I needed. I know she’s not perfect, but she’s perfect for me! I used to listen to this song and cry, overwhelmed with loneliness and heartbreak. Today I listen to this song and cry because I’m overwhelmed with joy to be in relationship with the love of my life. We have a date and a venue and I think we will use this song or some variation of it to get groomsmen and bridesmaids on stage before her entrance. To those who are hurting, those who are yearning and those who think it’s never going to happen, love is out there! You are radically loved by the God of the universe and I pray for your comfort in the midst of the valley of loneliness and for a glorious shared mountaintop when love finds you. You are loved!

This song reminds me of a person who doesn't fit in my life anymore. I really liked our conversations we had, I really loved to hear her voice, I really loved her funny and silly way to be, I really liked her... A lot. But it was not enough.

My mother and father have been in a relationship for about 19 years,. its my fathers birthday tomorrow so i just decided how about I share their story? my parents first met in a restaurant, my mother working as a waitress from Israel, she never really thought about customers just make them satisfied and that's it. Until my mother met, him. a Israeli male walked through the doors of the restaurant greeting her with a slightly red face, flirting but failing miserably, the waitress seemed annoyed, yet felt something new, a connection perhaps? shed continue to wonder. the woman would simply lead him to his table, while the male would still greet her with flirts, though the waitress would give nothing in return, he would keep trying for months, until she finally realized is what I am currently feeling love? this warmth radiating from this man. and here we are, 19 years later this waitress and customer have 3 kids other than me, and I am so, so lucky to have them by my side.

I never thought about how time mattered until my dad got sick, I thought he and I had plenty but as he slowly started to get older and weaker, I couldn’t help but feel so weak myself. He was my adventure, and there will be no other like the ones we had. At 12 years only I thought I’d have my dad forever, but forever was only a few months. I like to think now that all his energy and life he had left is now with me, because he lives through me. As unfortunate it was to grow up without my dad, I’m still living a happy life, full of grief that will last, but now is something I can cope with. Grieving for someone who was your whole world, is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my enemy. There is more for me to see and more for me to explore, and I’ll do just that, not just for me but you too…dad.

Married 7 years so far. And if I was to give any newly wed some tips is to always have this thought in your head. “It’s naive to think your partner will be the same one you married,it’s selfish of you to think you’re the same now… understanding change will help you connect on a deeper level. Just as much as you see them gain life,wisdom, and wrinkles….they see the same with you… may your bond be stronger today, and remember… that’s another soul, touch it to remind yourself of why it all happened.

Yesterday was my daughters first birthday. I haven't been allowed to see her or my ex for the past 6 months. To say that i miss my kid is an understatement. I missed half of her life, her first steps, her first words, even her first tooth. When she was still in my life, she was the biggest daddys girl. Her mothee could never get her to take a nap, but as soon as i got home after a shift we would cuddle and she would fall asleep within a minute. I hope that one day i can see her again, and when i do i am going to hug her and tell her that she has never once strayed from my thoughts and that i love her.

I remember the first day when high school began. I came all screwed up, introverted, hoping to find someone who could be my friend because I felt like I'm not safe, I was closed in myself, it is a strange feeling and it is hard to describe, even though it wasn't hard at all, I found common language with every colleague and I became a good friend with everyone. But I remember the first sight when meeting her. She was beautiful. She was smart, she was really kind. It was the day i felt kinda strange, a feeling I've never had before and I didn't knew i was slowly falling in love, but i saw something special in her and I knew it. I felt like I want to be with her, but I was too shy, I didn't know the love language and of course I wanted somehow to approach her, so I tried. I remember how we started joking around together, and my behaviour was kinda childish and my jokes were kinda dumb. But she smiled. She smiled every time we talked, every time I was acting childish. We felt something we didn't know, but we felt comfortable together. The first day I texted her, I didn't ask properly if we could talk, I asked our homework for the next day, and of course she told me nicely and from that moment, we started talking. I asked more about her, I asked how was she feeling at the moment and stuff like that. At the end of our first conversation, she even thanked me for the time we talked, for caring and asking about her. I felt really sad because I found that neither her friends never asked about how she was feeling, and from that moment I started being a man. I left behind all my complexes and I told myself that I'm gonna be the person which cares about her, I'm gonna be the man she will be safe with and started doing everything to comfort her, and all I really wanted is to make her happy. Make her feel like home. The time has passed, and the quarantine began. It was the time we were separated due to the virus. We didn't go to school, we didn't see each other for about 3 months, but we texted day and night. I remember staying up to 4-5 am just texting her, having those heart to heart conversations, and that's how we created our memories at that time. Sometimes it was hard, we had tough times, those times when it looks like you're going to break up with that person, but we never gave up. There was tears, sleepless nights, but we didn't gave up. When we first met after quarantine, we were still two children, because we were timid, but we were the children that could love. I remember hugging her so strong.. i didn't want to let her go. It was the hug that made me feel safe, made me feel alive.. I remember the streets we walked by, it was in her neighbourhood. Every time we went for a walk we walked on the same roads, joking and playing around, even though we were 16. We were like happy children being together. As I said sometimes it was tough, we even had pauses, twice in two years, like almost breaking up, each time at least for 4 months, but still, I knew I couldn't make it without her, so we ended up forgiving each other and up to this day, we're still together. Almost 3 years since I'm feeling alive. 3 years I am the happiest on the Earth, even though for some time in past I was crying for days, but still, I'm thankful for her. She makes me happy. She's the one I sincerely love from the bottom of my heart and I really want to be with her until the end. She's the one that cheers me up at my worst. She's the one I am ready to give my life for and all I want is to improve myself, just for her. Now the high school has ended up. 3 years of the unique experience and memories that will last forever, just because I created them with her. We made it together. It's hard to accept it, that the time has passed, but I wish i could go back in time and feel everything again and again. I wish I could stop the time. It's also hard to accept the thing that our first chapter is done, and we're moving on at the new beginnings. We both are going to different universities, and it will be hard, knowing that we won't see each other that often like we did in high school, even though she lives a few blocks away. I already miss those times we saw each other everyday at school. It has it's own atmosphere. It's 6 am and I already teared up 6 times. I had a couple of beers, but I had to write it down. Write what I feel. I love her.

Going through the worst times often show us what true love is. It's knowing that no matter what, the bond you made will always be there.

I was going through too much to get into. But for the first time in my life I had been experiencing high anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I needed a second to breathe. I got out of my car and stood in the rain. I watched a family eating dinner and drinking wine at a Korean restaurant. They laughed, they held each other, they conversed. They were present and happy. No one looked at a phone. They were the last people dining. And they stayed and talked as long as the business allowed. I don’t know their story or stories but I know that they touched me in that moment. These people will more than likely never know me or my existence but I love them. They reminded me the most important thing we have in this world is the time we spend with one another. Life is an experience meant to be shared. It’s a beautiful day to be alive. I pray you all find a reason to smile today. God bless 🫶🏽

This song reminds me of my ex… who I loved so much but had to leave. I was 20 and he was 25. We met in New York City when I had just moved out there alone. I had no one and was deeply saddened because I was kicked out of my parents house so sudden and I had no one. One night my friend asked if I wanted to go out and I really didn’t want to but I forced myself. I had been couped up in my tiny nyc bedroom apartment for two weeks straight watching nurse Jacky. I needed something new, something to cheer me up. So my friends and I went out to eat in Korea town and ended up at a karaoke bar, and then that’s when I met him. My friend had invited some of her work friends out too and no one showed up except him. When I first looked at him I thought he was cute but I really didn’t want anyone or anything at the moment. I just wanted to heal and be happy and focus on making my dreams a reality… that night I was shy around him but we ended up going to Jake’s dilemma on west 4th and he asked me about myself. I was distant but flirty…We ended up teaming up and playing beer pong (which we totally sucked at btw) … we had the most amazing night together. And that led into 4 amazing years with him. We were inseparable. No matter how many times I’d try to put up “boundaries” we still were somehow stuck like glue together.. he watched me grow and protected me by so many things. We built a whole life together, we moved in together and got our dog Luna together. We shared so many fond moments, we were so compatible… but the reason why I left was because we soon realized that we both just have different values.. we stopped growing together and building our dreams. We got comfortable and lost ourselves together. And we stopped working as a team. We both became selfish in our own ways instead of together and that’s what broke us. I love him so much but I can’t built a foundation as a team if we’re both not working together… but man… this song… them riding in the subway… I remember I would fall asleep just like that riding the A train from the heights all the way to Fulton right there in his arms. He would go to work as a personal trainer, and I would go to my acting school. I was living my dream in that moment. Our love was so pure and rare… I just don’t know what went wrong. Why things ended so abruptly. When did we stop growing as a team? … I guess I’ll never know… 🥺💔

I listened to this after checking on my daughter asleep, thinking how much she has grown up (2 already) and then it hit me, what sort of world is she going to grow up in, all I see is man made horrors daily, I love her too much and it breaks me knowing that her innocent perception of the World will come crashing down, I just need to always love and guide her as best I can. My love always my little Angel ❤️

This really reminds of this very special girl who came into my life. We both loved each other so much and envisioned us having a life together, we would always talk about one day living together and all of the fun things that we would do. We were more a like than we could possibly imagine and shared a very deep connection. Despite not being perfect, we were able to look past our flaws and bring out the best versions of ourselves. But unfortunately, I refused to be happy with just me, believing that she was my only source of true happiness, filling me with pride and the fear of loneliness. Because of that and circumstances beyond our control, she had to say goodbye despite not wanting to and exited my life. The purpose we had for each other was fulfilled and I believe that she’s never coming back no matter how much I want her to. Sometimes I feel like I sacrificed my only chance at true love so she could come out of the darkness, be happy, and find another to love. When I was crying for the first few days, I wanted to forget about her, but felt that wasn’t right. She helped me so much, got me out of a depression and made me a better person, her memory deserves to be honored for all the good she’s done for me. Every morning and night, I pray that she’s ok and that she lives a happy life, I still care about her and want the best for her. I made a memorial of the texts we sent each other and the things we made for each other, including a drawing of us holding each other in our arms. I strongly feel that if forget about her, I’ll only make the same mistakes again if I ever meet another girl who could make me as happy as she did. Despite our time not lasting as long as I wanted to, I’m grateful for what I got and how much it helped me grow as a human being, it turned out to be a very important chapter in my life. Even if we never see each other again, I hope she never forgets how much we loved each other and the time we spent together.

Its 2 am here in Jamaica and my boyfriend is sleeping (I have insomnia since I was 10) this was randomly recommended and I'm feel so loved. Never would I have thought I'd be lucky to have someone such as him in my life. Wish I could wake him up just to remind him how much I love him and how grateful I am to have him by my side for the past 2 years and counting.

6 months have passed since the last time we spoke, yet you still cross my mind everyday. I wish I could make it stop but I made a promise to love you forever and you will always own a piece of my heart. Although you have already moved on and will most likely marry the girl you are with now, I hope in another parallel universe we got to bring Monlley and Oliver into this world. I would have loved to be your wife and grow old with you. I love you.

I hope you realise that you are enough. You are a beautiful soul among this earth and deserve so much love and happiness. You will always be loved, we all love you, now you just need to love yourself.

It’s 11:06 In my room.. I know I’m supposed to be asleep but I have work in the morning. I sat on the edge of my bed and talked to Jesus about my issues, and about my burdens. The tears started to overflow as I wish I was with him in heaven and not here anymore..

I’m just too burnt out on physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual torture. Having to go through so much since a 4 year old all the way up to 16 leads me to wonder why I was chosen to walk the earth. Losing then gaining then losing again. Having a warfare in my mind and spirit and even at home can take so much from you. For all those who are struggling with themselves due to depression, anxiety, insecurities, and more, I’m there with you. And for those like me who struggle with their sexualities at home if ykwim, I give you my love and support because you are amazing just the way you are. Keep your chin up and please remember happiness is closer than you think :)

4 days ago I reunited with the girl that I have been in love with for the past 5 years, she's been dating a guy for a while, they had plans to marry and all but they didn't, when I saw her we hugged (since we are very good friends) and she told me how much she missed me and that she wanted to hang out, we did hang out, went to a place to eat, walked in downtown and finally told her how much I loved her, of course I didn't ask her to leave his actual partner and that I would never ask anything of her, the only thing that matters to me is her happiness and that I care about her (deep down I want to be with her so much) she didn't left nor did she pushed me away, instead, she spent more time with me, I took her to the country side in the night and we parked in a park and talked for a couple of hours, she was embarrassed and she said how "perfect of a man" I am, I felt so alive but she's leaving to her place again tomorrow, she's been subtle about telling me how I should start lookingfor somebody else, I know she's confused, she told me about how shocked she was when I told her how I felt about her and how much she was thinking about it... Deep down I think I know I might not be able to be with her. Love is hard and to be honest I don't quite like it, I hate feeling like this, even when I'm 29, it feels like if I can't be with her I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life, but her happiness is much more important than anything else. Being scared about love sucks and I just want to let go of all these emotions I have been saving up all these years, but I don't know how. This is depressing as FUCK

Gratitude in my bones Laughter when my heart beats Freedom, I’m alone And it’s fine When I find Reasons to smile And let go of the old stories that float inside my mind. My identity could never be found in what once was My identity is the present moment And the feeling is love.

I'm moving a little over 1,000 miles to go to college in two weeks, im also turning 18 the week I leave. This song feels like the last bittersweet yet hopeful last hurrah of my childhood that I'm experiencing. I've lived in a small town most of my life and only really gotten close with my Dad and cat (I don't have any siblings, it gets quite lonely). In high school I had friends but all of them I've fallen out with, there's a lot of pain there but oddly enough comfort too looking back at the good memories. It's just so wierd to me that so soon I'll be leaving most everything I've known. Especially cause soon ill just forget about most of the people ive interacted with all these years. This summer has been the best three months of my life and all I've been doing is going to the grocery store with my dad, practicing piano, embroidering my denim jackets and watching stranger things. I feel this cozy, peacefully playful feeling constantly because I'm soaking up the last days of this life chapter while reflecting on my childhood memories. I'm sad that soon I won't have my dad, the only person I've really connected with on a soul level, close to me even though I'm itching to move on. I'll always cherish him and I headbanging to AC/DC in the car from Albertsons to home, playfully arguing reddiwhipp will always taster better than any other whipped topping (he's a really good chef by the way), him and I staying up til midnight to watch stranger things vol.2 after making thousands of theories and cash bets (I won most of them by the way hehe), joking about stupid youtube ads and him pretending to be a really good rapper (it's cringy in an endearing way). I can't believe this phase of my life is nearly complete, im excited for whats next and I am nervous cause I want to do well in college and that's going to take a lot of effort. This song just perfectly encapsulates the bittersweetness, love and occasional worry that always eventually circles back to peace and excitement that's I've been feeling recently. Thanks for reading, I wish you happiness no matter what you are experiencing or who you are🧡🧡🧡

Although I am only a teen and havent experienced much of anything, this girl loves me so much I genuinely have hope in my heart it could last a lifetime.

Hey guys this music helped me stop and think for while to help my anxiety just wanted to say that this comment section is amazing so many great stories and conversations so thanks for helping take my mind off the world for a bit tonight

I've been listening to this a few minutes already and when I accidentally unplugged my headphones I'm amazed as I can still hear the sound of the raindrops falling yet I realized that it wasn't an imagination, because it's really raining so heavily outside and idk it was just a sudden unexpected moment that made me happy- the sound of the rain with this playing, simply made me happy.

She showed me with just a single touch, a world of flowers, an eternal fireplace filled with ecstasy, i saw the light in my soul reappeared....this woman will be the beautiful mother of my children, i never thought of having any kids but when she came into my life, its like everything has a new meaning to me, everything. I appreciate everything the universe has provided me with, whether we connect in this lifetime, or the next. Just know i'll always be here in spirit with you, guiding you and rooting for you to be the best version of yourself, with or without me, i want to see you grow into a beautiful woman. You're my flower that's going to blossom with me being the rain and the sunshine. May my angels guide you on your journey, my heart and soul has been reinvented, forever grateful

I’m 99,9% sure, that somebody took this photo in underground/subway in Warsaw, Poland. Only few of those old wagons are still on track. They look the same inside, only seats are changed.

Listening this and reading the comments truly made me feel grateful for all I have and to keep fighting for the love I have now, I know my words can’t do much but don’t stop trying the goal for a loving family is hard but worth every single second, I wish the best to all of you and to a happy family 🙏😌🕊

I’m currently laying here next to my 14 month old daughter. Her names Aaliyah.. I was totally lost before she came in my life. I still kind of am but she gives me a road map back to where I need to be. This reminds me.. as I’m laying next to her that everything is okay.

2 minutes into reading some comments and I can’t describe the emotions I’m feeling, I’m going to close this but I hope one day I can come back and reflect on this comment. Good luck to anyone the same way.

I'm 26 years old, I found my first love at 22 and we were almost 3 years together. I experienced the most beautiful emotions with her and I do miss her a lot. We broke up because she wanted to experience more, I swear social media and the fear of missing out is crushing the dating world. Now I can't find someone that makes me put in the work again. I'm devastated, I don't think I will love like that ever again. If you really find someone and think "this is my human", never let them go!
