Top Comments of this video!! :3
It was mid-summer when my friend and I decided we wanted to go stargazing. Our other friends laughed at the idea of it â they thought it was childish.
 We had no idea where we were going, we were just driving away. We turned up the music up and watched as the roads got narrower, the street lights became dimmer, and everything became stiller.
We parked at the side of a road and switched the car engine off. It was pitch dark and suddenly silent. The first step out the car was intimidating â almost as if something bad was bound to happen. But nothing happened; it was simply peaceful. Â
In the far distance we could see the city light illuminating the sky. We lied down in the middle of the road, despite our instincts telling us otherwise. We looked up and just opened our eyes to see thousands of burning balls of fire flashing their beauty. I had never seen so many stars before. Dare I say, it was magical.

I canât help but ponder of the 516k views, and how many people share the same feelings. How many struggles people face, some greater, some smaller. How many pushed through it, or those that didnât make it. How it doesnât matter who you are, where you are from, your skin color, your identity. We share the same emotions, however positive or negative. If you have taken the time to read this, I wish you well, We are all family here. We understand, and you donât have to say anything. Just know that you can stay as long as youâd like, well all be here for you.

I think what I miss the most is feeling safe. It seems the majority of the people here are posting inside of their late teens, at the teetering point of losing their youth and becoming adults. Let me tell you, do not let go of that feeling. Let it engulf you and never forget it. It wonât last forever. Iâm laying in bed at nearly 28 years old next to my incredible girlfriend of 3yrs, happy and in love, yet havenât been able to feel as safe and free and happy the way I did back then. You donât realize the adults telling you that youâre living out the best years of your life are 350% correct until you wake up at the end of your fleeting 20s and see your parents getting old, your old friends getting married and having their own kids living their own lives, and you may be in just as good of a place but the fact is itâs SCARY if you slow down and look at it for a second. This life thing doesnât stop until it does, and I just pray that by the time I get there Iâm comfortable enough with my choices to be able to let it go and return to the voidâŠnot that Iâll have a choice. Iâm rambling now, but be good to yourself because what youâre feeling now may never come again. Embrace it. All of the emotions and sensations and challenges and blessings of growing up. Itâs a cold scary world out there. All of us in this comments section know this. We may never cross paths but Iâll be looking for each and every one of you in the warm smile shared with a stranger.
Be good to yourselves. Be good to eachother. Weâre all weâve got.
See you out there.

I lost my real mother 4 days ago. She was my hero, I grew up with two terrible parents. My dad basically never showed up and my mom turned to drugs and alcohol. But this woman who was stuck in a wheelchair saved my life, my brothers life, and my sisters life. I often think about where we would all be if it wasnât for her in my life. She didnât teach, she led. She showed us how to work towards a goal. She showed us what it meant to put others before you. But most importantly she showed us love, purely by being her. Us kids were Stacyâs everything, she could sit for hours upon hours and just listen to us all talk and be smiling ear to ear the entire time. When you would get her to laugh she would wheeze and turn bright red and start crying because of laughter. Iâm gonna miss those moments, her laugh, her lessons, her happiness. But I am her, I will forever be. Thank you stace, I love you forever. Till I see you again â€ïž

I'm writing this here because this is one of those nights where I feel so very alone. I have no one else but myself to blame for this but it still hurts nonetheless. I am a 23 year old man who feels unwanted and unloved by the people and the world around him. I know I am a kind person and have a good heart and I wish people would see that. I've made mistakes just like everyone else out there but I am only human. I love and care for others deeply but that love has nowhere to go so it sits inside my heart and soul waiting. I feel like I am just a cog in a machine, a spec of dust in this expanse of darkness we call the universe. I crave human connection, I crave love, I am tired of being alone, and I hope someday I am wanted and loved by the people in my life.
Seasonal depression is hitting hard but I don't want to end my life or give up I just want nothing more than to go back in time even if just a little and start over but I can't, none of us can, life goes on for all of us. I don't know if anyone feels the same way I do but I hope I can connect with at least one person wherever you reside in the world. I cry, I feel sad, I laugh, I smile, I breathe the same air, I look at the same stars, I wake up to the same sun and sleep to the same moon, I have dreams, I have goals, I want to be happy, I want to live a life that I'm proud of at the end of it all. I am just like any other human being on this planet we call home.
I know this note will be here for as long as this video exists. I am just a stranger in some corner of the world to you all but I was here at this moment in time, I have a heart and a soul, I am real. I hope that in years from now I can come back to this note that I left here and be content with how I'm doing at that moment in time. This is just a part of my story, there's still a whole lot of pages to fill and a lot more memories to create. To the person reading this I just want to say I love you
- a stranger that lives under the same sky

A while ago I drank half a bottle of wine at 2am and decided to throw on my coat and take a walk. I put in my AirPods and played a playlist I have which is similar to this one. I live a good distance from the city around rolling hills with farm houses. I walked peacefully in the night down the gravel roads looking at the stars. The universe looked so big that night. I laid in the grass by the road and starred at the night sky for an hour just thinking. The world seemed to stop, and it felt like I was the only person on the planet. I wish I could go back to that night...

Iâve been in a âslumpâ lately.
I want to:
Cry
Scream
Run away
But I also want to:
Not do anything
Stay where I am
Keep going
I donât want to grow up but I want to keep moving forward. I feel conflicted and I have no idea what Iâm doing.
On one of these nights I feel dark and empty in the most peaceful way possible.
Itâs addictively melancholic.

One of my close friends had her grad party last night - it was a blast and although I've said goodbye to her several times before, for some reason that one felt different. I went to my local amusement park afterward but ended and getting rained out, but I stayed in line for the ride I had been waiting for with hopes of it opening back up before the park closed. They announced 5 minutes until close that it would be down for the night, so I ran to the indoor coaster. Waited there for about 10 minutes, rode, and then started walking out. Most people were out of the park by then, so it was really just me, the lights, the wet pavement, and the stray employee or 2. Then, it all hit like a wave. Seeing one of the places I had grown up in empty like that - borderline desolate, triggered something. It was all I could do to not fall to my knees and weep. My childhood is over - friends are moving away to college, I still have no sort of plan, and I'm just generally a mess. I came home and once everybody else was asleep, I sobbed for the first time since I got witch hunted out of my first splatoon team. Things just aren't looking great right now, but hopefully I can find my way.
Edit: Thank you all so much for your kind words, I truly cannot express how much this means to me. God bless all of you.

Is this what happiness is?... I have a home, I have a family, I have friends. Yet, deep inside, I feel empty. As if, my soul has left by body - Perhaps, I never had a soul in the first place. I might get a job. I might not. I might get married. I might not. I might get kids. I might not. I can feel the best feelings and experience the best experiences, but what does it matter?
At the end of life, my memories won't be anything.
At the end of time, nothing will be.
The night wraps its hands around me, like a Reaper hearing a being's last words. My body yearns for sleep. Yet, my brain screams in agony. A million lives have been, just like mine. Sleep, work, eat. A mind feels directionless these principles are broken - We weren't created to think. Nothing has ever realized it exists, except we. But at the end of time, nothing will be.
And nothing will have been.
Our fate is sealed in the darkest corner of the Universe.
My thoughts dissipate. Another day ends.

This hit really close to home for me. Im not ashamed to admit it but Im crying as I write this. But it made me remember the time, a couple years ago I went star gazing with my best and only friend at the time and its when I fell in love with her. We walked up a hill in the night and star gazed for hours, it was amazing in every sense of the word, and so was she. Though she passed away from a stroke at 20 last summer and its been really hard without her. But the thought of seeing her again, or just hearing her voice when its all over is comforting. If you're reading this, please cherish what little time you have with your loved ones. Dont be like me and take every chance you can to be with them before its to late. And for the love of god, tell them that you love them.
Rest in peace Emily, I'll never forget you.
EDIT: I should mention Im not wasting away because of this, (she'd kill me if I did sulk over her like that) I've found ways to cope better with the loss, and Im now moving onto a full career in the military soon. if you're dealing with loss like me, stay strong and make it, even if its not for yourself, do it for who you lost. if some idiot like me can do it, so can you.
