Top Comments of this video!! :3
The âDonât be a strangerâ in the outro reminds me of the derealization I had after a long depression episode. My thoughts and emotions were shutting down. Itâs like Iâm telling myself to snap out of it, live in the moment, and connect with others helplessly. And that's all with happy sounds in the background, resembling the happiness around me I used to miss due to this unpleasant feeling.
All just to ânot be a strangerâ to myself, let alone everyone.

To the person who read this, Itâs been hard for you, I know, and it makes me sad that you donât see yourself in the way I see you. Sometimes they are things in life that cause us to loose ourselves, and the way you have is so unimaginable painful. I miss your smile, the way your eyes light up the whole room just by the sound of your laughter. I miss the way you accepted the way you look in the mirror without cursing yourself out about how ugly you look. I miss the way you didnât think of yourself as a failure because everyone makes mistakes, we all have flaws and we all arenât perfect. It's painful to see that no one around you seems to see the pain trough your eyes, but, stranger, I do, I see how heavy your heart is and how comforting the sadness for you might be, how afraid your heart is of happiness because it disappears in the end, right? You don't know how much impact you have in this world and itâs sad to see that your demons fight against you and want to take over you. Because you do make change, itâs something so simple and little that brightens up someone's whole world, it can be a small smile from your lips, the way you look at things youâre passionate about, the way you make yourself eat even though itâs been hard for you lately, the way you zoom out and go in your own world, you brighten up my world by reading this, it means a lot to me that you're here, existing, but I don't want you to just exist, you deserve to feel alive. You deserve to get up in the morning and feel good about yourself. You deserve to feel something-to feel every damn second alive in this lifetime. Itâs heartbreaking that you think you're not capable of being loved, because you are, I love you trough all my words and I hope you let it happen in your heart. Love is scary, I know, maybe you heart had been broken once and since then you wanted to be rather numb than feel ever again, it hurts me how you punish yourself, does it not deserve love? Because YOU DO deserve love, please forgive yourself, it's not your fault that the demons want to take over your beautiful heart. You're not a bad person for distancing yourself from others, but you deserve someone to talk to, you deserve someone to listen. I am listening, you can tell me what's wrong. Itâs everything, isnât it? Thereâs something pulling your heartstrings on the ground and no one seems to understand how misunderstood you feel, it's heartbreaking to know that I am behind the screen and canât give you a hug, thatâs why I will give you a big warm virtual hug and send you lots of love. You matter. You are worthy. You are loved. You deserve good things. You deserve someone to listen. You deserve to eat and drink. You deserve to feel good and alive. You deserve to smile. You deserve a hug. You deserve to be all the things you want to be, because you deserve to have and feel good things happening to you and have a fulfilled life. I know I might not know you personally but I care about you so much, I write this because I want you to stay here with me, I want you to hold on a little longer because you matter so much to me, because I will not let you give up on yourself. I want you to see that you should not give up on yourself because you DESERVE GOOD THINGS. I want you to look back on the time when you were a kid, you didnât give up when you tried to swim for the first time, you didn't give up when you tired to walk for the first time and fell, you never gave up on yourself, you always kept on pushing forwards, so why canât you now? I know it's tiring, your mentally tired, but dont your younger self deserve good things? look back at your eyes that used to be full of hope, look back on those dreams. Don't let yourself fall, you deserve better. We will both fight, I will fight for you. I won't let those demons get to you. You can hold on to me, I won't let you down. Whenever you feel lonely, then look at the sky, I always look at it and think about you. Yes, you, because it makes me happy that thereâs someone looking right back, maybe we can't see each other but I can feel your presence here with me and that's enough for me, because I am glad your heart is beating and you're still fighting. You're so much stronger thank you think, you didnât leave your spot on this earth even if you wanted to, you belong here, even though it doesnât feel like it, when you don't feel like belonging than build your own home here, put all your love in it and dreams. Think of you as a star when you feel alone, you shine because your heart is good, no matter what mistake you made, no matter about the past you had, youâre one of the stars that shine bright in the universe because youâre heart is beautiful, that's why the demons in your mind wants to have it. As one of the stars you see others stars, maybe they have felt the same way as you do at some point in there life, but they lighten up the universe with each otherâs presence. Youâre a star for me, maybe you donât see it yourself but I can see it, you're beautiful from inside and out, your body is beautiful the way it is. You make me happy by reading this, you make me feel something by your presence and when you can make me feel that way than you also make other people feel that way about you too. I hope you stay for yourself and donât let your story get written by others but by yourself, itâs your story not theirs. As you can see, I say a lot of âI hopeâ because I have hope for you even if you don't have it for yourself, I see hope in you even though you might want to give up. That's why I hope you wonât see the world in darkness and will see it colorful again, I hope I will give you a glimpse of hope and make the world you see a bit colorful for today. My favorite color is yellow, and I hope the next time you see the color yellow you will think about my words. If someone left you than don't blame yourself, don't think you werenât enough, donât lower yourself for someone who couldn't see the awesomeness in you. If you lost someone I am so sorry for your loss, they want you happy, I hope you don't feel guilty or regret because you were there, you spend enough time with them, they want you to be happy. They are in a good and safe place now. If someone broke your heart than I am so sorry that they couldnât see the way you look so beautiful because of the heart you have. Anyone who gets to be with you, doesn't know how fucking lucky he/she/ they is. If you aren't accepted at home or in general than am so sorry that you have to deal with someone/ something you shouldn't be ashamed of, accept you and support you, I accept you as a human being no matter what race, religion, nationality, skin color, or sexuality you have. Youâre safe here with me. Youâre not useless, you're not a burden to anyone. Youâre not a problem, youâre human and your feelings are valid. Youâre not being dramatic. Please don't starve yourself, you deserve food and to drink, I know it's hard. It hurts to see that youâre in so much pain. you deserve so much man, don't let your emotions control you. Donât let them get the best of you. I am sorry no one is noticing, I wish/hope I could take your pain away for today or even for a moment while you're reading this. If no one told you, I am so proud of you, you're reading this and itâs enough for me to be proud of you because you're here and thatâs all that matters to me. If itâs night for you, go to sleep, I know it's hard to fall asleep right now but you deserve a good sleep. If you have nightmares, please, donât let them fight you. If itâs day for you, donât start it by such sad music, I know itâs impossible to have a good day with such mindset but take baby steps, start by drinking two cups of water everyday in the morning and so on.. You will start building little healthy habits. If it's evening for you, you're probably overwhelmed and stressed, I want you to know itâs okay to feel the way you feel. You donât need to be scared, of course you're overwhelmed or stressed, I mean who wouldnât? But it's important to know that when you feel that way you should do a little self care, such as taking a bath for example? You deserve to feel at ease and relaxed. And if you are somewhere in between I hope you know that youâre so strong for breathing despite the pain, know you will make it I believe in you. All I want for you is to stay here, I really mean all my words, even if there is a lot of unsaid things want to tell u and my text is getting longer and longer, I want you here.
I hope one day your smile will become a genuine one where you donât need to fake it anymore, because can't say this enough, you deserve a good smile and to feel alive. You're worth more than every fucking cent in this world.
You can let go for today, got you, you can cry your heart out as much as you want, but don't let it tear you down and let your emotions control you by giving up. Crying is not weakness. If you still feel alone I dedicate
you a song as your friend. âDusk till Dawn-Zayn feat. Sia (I prefer the slow version)â I hope you can think of me and will remind yourself of my words, I will for sure think of you.
In case no one told you and you're unsure yourself, youâre a good person and I am so happy youâre here.
I hope this is enough to stay today, tomorrow will be a new day, a new start, let go now. Enough with beating yourself up for today, okay?
Life for those who couldnât, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there's no other, hug like its your last one.
If you read all of it, until tomorrow have a good day and great years.
I love you so much and am so proud of you.

This song hits deeply, because ever sine i graduated, this wasnt the plan ya know? 2020 hits close people passed away, 2021 my grandfather died, 2022, my parents got a divorce, 2023, i lost my closest lady, my grandmother. This goes to show you that time doesnt want for anyone. Live your life. Dont live in regret. Be happy with you. Love yourself. Go out there and live. I encourage you. We're all gonna be ok. I love you and im so proud of you, all. Take care of yourself, and have fun! See you out there, friend.

This song screams out returning to your childhood town reminiscing all of the good times, your old friends, your old high school, the house you grew up in, your favourite cafĂŠ. Flashbacks of nostalgia. I'm 26 now and recently moved back home from dropping out of University. All of my friends are in settled relationships with kids and in good jobs/finished their degrees. They've all moved on with their lives and I feel like I'm still stuck in my childhood, listening to my favourite retro songs, walking past spots that make me think of my younger days and where good times were made, doing stuff as a teenager that made me feel so alive. It's crazy to me that the people who I shared the best moments of my life with are now strangers to me. I'm so happy to have shared good times with those people and I want them to know that if we ever cross paths again, I will feel nothing but love them for them and not a ghost of the past. I hope everyone's doing okay and can still find a bit of peace within this song x

Lyrics:
Walking Scott Street, feeling like a stranger
With an open heart, open container
I've got a stack of mail and a tall can
It's a shower beer it's a payment plan
There's helicopters over my head
Every night when I go to bed
Spending money and I earned it
When I'm lonely, that's when I'll burn it
Do you feel ashamed
When you hear my name
I asked you "How is your sister?
I heard she got her degree"
And I said, "That makes me feel old"
He said, "What does that make me?"
I asked you "How is playing drums?"
You said it's too much shit to carry
"And what about the band?"
You said they're all getting married
Do you feel ashamed
When you hear my name
Anyway, don't be a stranger
Anyway, don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger

This song makes me imagine two lovers, one going to another country for their future, while the other one, staying. The sound of the train reminds me of how they will say their farewell to each other before everything changes.
That's us, my love.
I know you don't normally read comments on music videos nor you listen to this song. So, you won't probably read this.
I'll be going soon. But always remember that I may be leaving the country, but I won't be leaving you. You'll forever be my love. My one and only, my first and last, my everything.
I know that I am not always with you, but I'm always here for you.
I sure do miss going to school and going home from school with you. Everytime I remember, I can't help but cry as we can't bring back time.
The world sure is cruel to some parts of me, but the world sure is kind for giving me you. But no matter how hard it gets, I'll hold on for you, my love.
