Happy vent:
Today, I went outside, minutes before sunrise. It was completely quiet, no one but the birds were making a sound. It was damp, it had rained the day before. The sun was just starting to show through the clouds. I put on my headphones, turned on this song, and I danced in the road. It was just me, and I danced there until the sun was completely up. It was one of the freest moments of my life.

I spent 3 years of my life living in denial of an eating disorder. āI promise Iām tryingā is SO so accurate if you piece the lyrics together with an eating disorder. I listened to it to get me through the mental exhaustion. I was always hiding it from everyone, all my depression and even after countless suicide attempts it was always āact fine. Youāre fineā. But this song was like a way to deal with that. Thank you so much for this :,(

Lyrics cuz I couldn't find them in the comments:
[Verse 1]
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you
But I can't really find
Anyā
otherā
way to formā
these feelings into cubes
And sort themā
in my mind
The negative thoughts go on the left
The happy things on the right
And there's a little corner saved just for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Please let me know if you change your mind
'Cause inside I'm falling
And I need you to pull me out of this decline
I realize how hard on you this must seem
But trust me when I say
It's far, far worse for me
[Chorus]
Please, please be here for me dear
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I can't stress enough
How much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind
If you can't hold me like you used to
'Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
I promise I'm trying
(I promise I'm trying)
(I promise, I promise)
[Verse 2]
Give me a moment to get my cards in line
'Cause I'm still trying to figure out
In what kind of order should I set them out
If there was a way to explain everything without a word
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes
But a part of me wants to let you be
'Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
But I should've woken up, woken up by now
[Chorus]
Please, please be here for me dear
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
And I can't stress enough
How much it means to me that you're trying
And I don't mind
If you can't hold me like you used to
'Cause I've never hated myself more
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
I promise I'm trying

This version sounds like a movie where there's a character who lives a dull life of darkness because they've given up on trying to please people and shuts out anyone that tries to get close to them. There's an empty space in her heart but she doesn't know what it's supposed to be filled with. But then she meets a girl who very obviously likes her but she ignores it and keeps pushing her away despite their resilience.
And then she begins to realize that this is the girl who lights up her world and makes her feel like anything is possible. Who makes her see that the bad things are only temporary.
Love is what fills that space.
But before she can express her feelings, there is a misunderstanding between the two so the main character begins to shut her soulmate out. So to protect both of them from getting hurt, the girl decides to leave. The music starts swell as our hero realizes that they can't lose the only person who made them feel alive. So she hops on her bike and chase the car into the night.
As she races down the street she remembers everytime she saw the girl smile, heard her laugh, saw her gazing at the stars as she made predictions of what the future held.
Does she ever catch up? I don't know. I guess it depends on how the songs ending feels for youš

I canāt-
I promise Iām trying was there for me in my darkest moments, while I was in pain and hurt. I told myself I had to be strong and that I couldnāt cry. I forced myself to tough it out. When I felt like I couldnāt feel Robbies music did it for me. I promise Iām trying became a song that hurt to listen to.
Trying.
Itās been so long since I cried, Like Really cried. Trying feels like a warm hug, the same song, but growth. It feels like Iām finally free. I canāt express how much i love this.
So Thank you Robbie, for making incredible music. You saved me and so many others, and itās been such a pleasure to watch you grow, and I canāt wait to see what comes next. Thank you.

I'm really liking the subtle difference between this and the previous version of the song. The old one sounded more innocent and soft. It was like a child just softly talking with their friend. It's light and it sounds sweet.
This version on the other hand is more like an urgent desperate plea from a teenager to their friend. It's like after going through so many friends who left them and experiencing the near brunt of their own struggles, they're so desperate for this one friend to still stay with them. It's not light and soft, it's heavy and much more frantic. They're doing their best to reassure the friend that they *will try*. They already know what it's like to lose a friend compared to the child. The child is scared but still doesn't know what it's like to lose a friend so they merely ask softly for the friend to stay. But the teenager knows, and they don't want to experience that pain again.

This song reminds me of my mum so much. She tries her best to understand everything about me (Iām trans and pan) and it means the world how much she tries to get things right. I know she wonāt ever get to see this, but I really appreciate everything sheās ever done, from getting my first binder for me to correcting her own mother whenever she calls me by my birth name.
