Its cool even the concept of Nintendo eventually taking down the vids, its like that thing in life yk everything is temporary, and will end somewhere in the future
Checkpoint 24.06'24; watching this at 7 a.m. as I'm working nights. Just came home from a week off where i spent the majority at my boyfriend's place; we live 500km apart. And even though it's only been a few hours since I saw him, I'm filled with a deep longing for his touch. I currently live with my father and siblings but they're vacationing abroad, and the house feels too big and too empty. I long for the day we can find a place of our own but he has his job there and I've got a summer job here; and I need to finish uni so I can start working in my preferred field. A house - even a rental - just isn't in the cards right now, we simply cannot afford it. But I believe in us. We'll wait it out and come a few years, I can see the two of us in spirit in a place of our own. We'll have a cat (for me) and a dog (for him) and an office for me to work from home... That is the dream
The idea of what the "internet checkpoint" meant didn't actually click with me until that very last sentence. For a moment I forgot that Checkpoints are places of progress, places of rest. Places where you can sit down and think about all the decisions that you've made, before you move forward toward the rest of your journey making brand new decisions. Some Checkpoints are good, some are bad, some are hard, some are easy, but they're all safe. Because by then, you've made it. And you can move on once you're ready. Honestly great job for a first script, Keep it up!
Checkpoint (21/6/2024) I'm kind of lost right now. I always was too much of a thinker. Even though some things are getting better, is this it? Is all I'm living now all there is? Is life just a looping of trying to feel better, going on journeys to complete your goals? I guess I just don't like the "adventures" I have here. When I dream, it's always a different place, a cool-looking dreamy place where I don't have to be overloaded by my senses A place where it all just feels... Nice to explore? Nice to be in? And I am able to do so much. I rarely get nightmares, any situation that is uncomfortable, I just get rid of it. I have control. When I live my normal life... it all just is so bland. Nothing new. Nothing interesting. Half of the day I'm trapped in the most boring place on Earth, where it is constantly uncomfortable and even the most creative ideas I have are not enough. I'm 14, 15 in less than 2 weeks, and school is just... hell. I guess it's because staying around a lot of people is just horrible to me since I'm autistic. It feels bad, constantly. I still have hope things will get better. Maybe one day, I'll stop running away from my problems. I'll stop hiding within my own mind every time something seems stressful. That day seems really far. And I've been told a lot of times adulthood is worse. But maybe not having the teenage hormones messing me up, I'll finally face it. Face everything I have to face. Maybe life will be better to live. Maybe I'll finally pursue my dream instead of staying in the shadows. Maybe I won't feel like everything is boring anymore. Like this is not worth living. I truly hope so. I know there will be tons of obstacles along the way. But at least I'll be... happy? Idk, not suicidal, at least. Like, actually enjoying life. After all, this is an adventure. The adventure I always wanted to live, so I can feel alive. Adventures are not easy. In fact, they're about going through hard things. But it'll feel like living, right? I'm still so scared to come out of my shell, to get out of a zone where I feel safe. I still believe it'll pass someday. I guess hope really is the last thing to die. Even when it's lost, it comes back to me. I guess that even though I've always believed I wasn't made for this world, my "destiny" is staying here. Staying alive. So I'll try to make it not completely awful, when I can. Even when it seems lost, there IS still hope. And maybe the world's not completely horrible. Please remember that, reader. This isn't the end Wish me luck
checkpoint 21/6/2024 finished another painful year of school i have nothing planned for summer only waiting to move to a new house my parents bought back in 2022
I have seen those comments too at a howls moving castle song. It’s so beautiful to see such a community just by accident in the comment section❤ i wonder who started it all
Life is better than ever. All of my dreams are coming true in far better ways than I have ever imagined or expected. Could it be that I really am twice as beautiful as I'd ever imagined? What if everything really is exactly as it should be?
Maybe the "Checkpoint" video/s are meant to be a IRL checkpoint for the world, And what is to come. I don't know what will be ahead of us now these days. Either we will enter an era of peace, or something else......
I'm surprised DrazenXLive's "Reptilia Strokes Rock Band" video didn't come up in your research. It long predates this concept of checkpoints, but there was one person in the comments section of that video, picsmics4, who used it as a checkpoint for many many years, just commenting regularly to tell the uploader that he liked the video and that it was helping him get through rough times. It happened for so long that picsmics4 ended up becoming something of a minor Internet sensation for a while.
Checkpoint: I'm a mess lately. I'm doing better than before, but I failed my uni entry exam. I can repeat it, but I'll have to wait until next year to enter. I feel like I lost a chance... But at the same time, I've been studying a degree so I shouldn't feel bad, it was a lot. At least I know I just have to try my hardest this time... On a more positive note, I have a summer job! And I've re-started dipping into hobbies I abandoned: drawing and animating. I have a lot of ideas in the back burner. Hopefully, I'll be able to fulfill them this summer in my free time. ...Progress saved.
Checkpoint: 20.06.2024 I arrange a social programme and got almost everything sorted out already yet my teammates dont really give a shit about it and basically let me do all of the fking job and im tired of it.
Checkpoint: I've been with a girl, i think I love her, but she thinks of getting married, but i don't want to marry her, but its weird, i really love her and ai don't wanna hurt her, but i don't know what to do, i think that its because i haven't got over my ex, i had big plans, i still dont feel comfortable with my actual girl, but i try my best, and i will try my best to be better and get over my ex and Eve that holds me in the past
Checkpoint: 19th of June, 2024. Life is a bit rough. I am now studying at a good uni. Tomorrow an exam is taking place. It will determine if I will be able to sustain myself without external help of my parents. I am not prepared. Everything pushed me to this moment, I couldn't find time to get a restfull 8 hours of sleep for weeks because of other exams and work. It will be stupid, getting a bad mark and ruining my perfect route to scholarship. Physics always was my favorite subject, but something doesn't feel right. I am almost certain I won't succeed. I am an atheist but when the time comes, I don't see any other source of hope. This night I will pray. Goodnight to you, fellow traveller.
Checkpoint: I finished DUI diversion this week. I have a PO now who keeps harassing me and making me miss work for no good reason, but I'm going back to college and finishing my degree and by the time I'm done, my PO wont be my problem anymore.
[ Checkpoint 20/06/24 ] I'm a 14-year-old kid who traveled to the other side of the world to stay over with my grandparents for a few months If you see this, I wish you a happy day/night
I get across those "internet checkpoint" videos sometimes. I'm not sure if it's the same video that is getting recommended to me over and over again or if those are the reuploads since the comments are different every time I read through them but for some reason those checkpoints come up at just the right time in my life. And as I sift through other people's hopeful stories and drift into mellow nostalgia I feel at peace as if this "checkpoint" is a literal new save file in this game of life. And as the music ends and the campfire dims out I feel a bit more at peace leaving the video. I love those checkpoints. Hoping to come across one soon.
I put a checkpoint comment on it in 2020, my life was massively in flux, I had gotten laid off, I was buying a house and moving away for work, and I was getting ready to get married all at the same time as disco-19 lockdowns Things are going pretty okay now
