And Nothing Can Ever Ruin This 

"You briefly get in to healthy eating and Alan Watts." I feel personally attacked.

"You re already 25 and 30 seems like a really big number that's getting scarily close." I feel personally attacked.

“You decide to murder him and quickly realize that’s illegal.” Yeah.

The "Then you realise you actually still have friends who have been patiently waiting for you for fucking years" is definitely my favourite

AND YOU DECIDE TO *MURDER* HIM but quickly remember that’s illegal

Why do these videos have such an effect on me

First line “you meet at the party” Already unrelatable

I feel like it's easy to miss one of the main points here - it's not that every relationship turns out like this. It's the ones that lack effort. When you get trapped in romanticizing your partner, running after butterflies in your stomach without being able to communicate, show warmth and care when things get more serious and calm, it is only natural you will grow distant with the person that you once were so excited about. Love requires continuous trying and commitment. Without it, the words "and nothing could ever ruin this" become just a pointless mantra you repeat to keep yourself in a fantasy world. If you want a person you could spend your life with, you must get used to the idea that it won't always be easy, and yes, you may fall into the rut sometimes, and feel attracted to other people, and have arguments... but after all, it's a choice you make. It's your decision if it's worth a try.

So... a relationship with a girl with a birthmark on her neck will always end badly?

anyone else get the feeling that he's just telling stories from his life in the 2nd person?

Me at 1 AM trying to sleep, RU-vid recommended: wanna have an existential crisis about something not even relevant to your life at the moment?

I sent this to my crush because she was going through breakups and she said it helped her. Fast forward a couple months later, we were officially a boyfriend and girlfriend, and I thought nothing could ever ruin that. She then ghosted me and broke up with me lol. It's a full circle now

Thanks exab1a, never been in love and now im terrified of it.

High school relationships are just speed runs of this video

"no one has been in love like you're in love"

my girlfriend unexpectedly left me a few days ago after three years. I'm 32 and I've never felt more lost. The last time that happened this video helped me to get over it faster. Since Wednesday I've watched this video more than 10 times, but this time it doesn't help. I'm scared, I'm alone and don't know what to do.I've already thought about just ending everything. Thank you for all the wise words over the past few years.

"The music is Chopins nocture Op.9 No.2. He's been dead for a while but please show him some love anyway." What a quote.

Imagine feeling like that but skipping the relationship part. Yeah welcome to my life.

How many lives have you lived. Be honest

This will probably be buried under the other comments but this has gotten me through all my break ups and even when life is good I come and watch this again I cannot stress how much this means to me

Watched this video when I first met her Broke up after 3 yo relationship Came back to this video

this is honestly the most heart wrenching thing ive ever sat through

Girl: *likes you She might be Canadian and just being polite

“you remember what being human actually feels like.” - “and subtly, so subtly you don’t even notice, you become yourself again.” - “music starts to sound good again, food starts to taste good again.” - “before long, the two of you are hanging out every other day, and you can’t remember the last time you felt so alive. is this what you were meant to be doing all along? or maybe you’re just repeating the same dumb pattern again, but, god, it feels incredible. maybe the whole thing is just some stupid gamble. but you dont care. you didn’t care last time. because right now, you’re sure of it, more sure than anything, ever. and anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot. but nothing can ever ruin this.” - - it’s been almost six years but this video & especially those parts make me come back every 4 months this man is a genius

"You remember what being human actually feels like"

Well these are nice thoughts for an early teen just getting into life

How the fuck did you make me both happy to be alive and also want to die in one video

listened to this before, during, and, after something that could never be ruined. quality content

I used to be very scared of creating a deep relationship and then being dumped. And then I started working as a security guard at the age of 18. I met a wonderful elderly woman who on every shift called her husband and talked with him for an hour or more. The memory of her always reminds me that there can be a lasting and beutiful love, you just both have to be understanding and developing.

Did I just find some of the best videos on RU-vid? You rock, exurb1 a!

Every time I feel something for a girl I can just hear your sarcastic little voice going "and nothing could ever ruin this" over and over again. You have cursed me. Keep up the good shit tho

I love your writing style. Terrifying thoughts said in such an indifferent manner and irony that somehow feels honest ("Nothing can ever ruin this" sounds almost like a joke, but the audience knows it is a very real feeling) seem to be ever present in your work. Now to fill the void with yet another imperfect shape, ignoring the gaps or pretending that's how it's all supposed to be...

This is possibly the most depressing video ever. Always makes me sad So why have I watched it three times already

something can ruin this. its still worth it. even if just for the memories.

Watched this video before I met her. Here I am again after it ended. Edit: aww shit here we go again

Except, you're right. No one, and nothing, can ever ruin the beautiful moments that you shared together. Life might go on without them, and it will, if it ends, but there is nothing that can take those moments away. Even death, or forgetting. Nothing can ever ruin the fact that those moments happened in this world. And I take comfort in that.

This is why love isn't just sex. It's a responsibility for both lovers to keep the fire going.

As my dad once told me Relationships are a lot like getting a dog. You know one day it will end but you get the dog anyways, because you don't care that one day the dog will die you just want to experience the loving and caring a dog provides while it's alive.

Is this guy okey?? (if you're wondering what the edit is, before the comment said "sometimes I wonder if the owner of this chanel is okey" and I just thought it'd be better like this. Thanks for the likes :))

I think in the far future digital contents like this video will be literally considered and studied as a form of art. People would be amazed with this kind of content like we are being amazed with a well-written poetry by T.S. Eliot. Congrats with your beautiful piece of future art exurb1a.

This is probably my favourite RU-vid video of all time. It’s just so prosaic, beautifully written and genuinely beautiful. Every time I start getting together with someone I keep remembering the lines “you catch yourself thinking about her a little, then a lot, then all the time” and I realise I’m in this once again. Not for the better, not for worse. Just as a fact. So I start paying more attention, trying to put in effort and reset my mindset from the selfish ways that normally help me survive on my own, preparing myself for a potential beautiful period of my life that will hopefully last a lifetime (if we both put in the work) This video also helps me get my emotions out after a breakup. I just love this video for all the help and support it provided me with. Thank you so much 🖤

This is scarily accurate

I saw this 4 years ago and didn't pay enough attention, becouse I thought ''Nothing can ever ruin this''

I never leave comments and this is an old video but holy shit man. No one I know will see this but just I just need to say, why are you so insightful. I’m still pretty young and in highschool, and my ex girlfriend broke up with me last week. This was after months of her being distant, me constantly asking “is everything ok?” And then her constantly reassuring me that “yeah everything is good” but then going back to acting distant, stopping doing the little cute things we used to do together, stopped being physical, and she broke up with me last week (we almost made it a year btw) and after 4-3 months of her being more and more distant, no more physical stuff between us, and me constantly asking to do something cute together and her turning me down, she breaks up because “I don’t want a boyfriend rn” which sucked because I thought she was the one for awhile there. Anyway. This video really fuckin stuck out to me, cause in some ways it’s pretty similar. And it’s scary

"A girl likes you" Let me stop you right there Mr. you are making hypothetical illogical assumptions

a bae is for a moment but a hand is forever

When an overthinker meets the love of their life

This video should labeled as Warning: Traumatic Experience

I married my high school sweet heart. I get a lot of shit for this. However, my advice is two people need to grow together and in the same direction, make sure you both are on the same page. If there's a problem talk, and don't give up. Always be kind, and make sure your feelings of kindness and love are known. We all sometimes forget that the other person cannot read minds, and have feelings too. As to the point to tie in to the video is that you can love many different people because it's a big world, and compatibility with more than one person is high. So sometimes you just need to pick one, and what you don't know can't hurt you too. Love and be faithful to them, because they too have many other options, but have chosen you too.

Wait! Can dogs really look up?

I genuinely don’t know how to describe it, but whenever I’m feeling like shit, coming to these videos just makes me keep on going. Things will be okay, they’re depressing and positive and just perfect, thank you for these videos, I would’ve been gone a long time ago without them.

17 year-old me: "Hey, Sherlock, should I add this girl on Facebook?" Sherlock:

This is easily the most existentially terrifying video on the channel, by a wide margin.

Wait... did he say 17 one hour sessions a day??

I don't know if you realize this or if you'll ever read this. but whether or not you make these videos being half serious or a bit of goofing around or even just to explore your outer reaches of how far you can bleed the cynicism from your soul...please don't stop. I've been lost for a long time now and listening to 1 or 2 of your videos when I get up to go to work has really made me remember that i'm a person underneath the layers of human condition I use as camouflage from the rest of the world. I don't know what else to really say right now. Just, please don't stop making these videos.

I'm so glad I'll never experience this. *cries in a corner

So it is basically a happiness loan

I seem to be rewatching it after every break up. It's comforting

I didn't know they made human beings like this anymore. I'm happy I found your channel please continue to make more art

You’ve forgotten what butterflies feel like

Watched this once, two years ago. Now it just pops up in head at random intervals and I have to watch it.

Congratulations, you're the first youtuber to make me cry.Never stop what you're doing.

This is the most underrated channel on RU-vid. Thanks for existing man. Quality content.

You need more subs. I feel like the best part of your video's is going into the comments and seeing the conversations people are having about it.

Believe it or not this video feels very comforting to me. I watched this first time in 2018 when I had my first breakup and I'm watching this today on loop again after my third. It hits differently this time.

I'm only just after discovering your content. I've watched half a dozen or so of your videos and I have laughed out loud at all of them several times. They're intelligent and insightful with just the right amount of stupid. You have a very pleasant voice. You might just be my new favourite person in the universe.

6 months into my divorce, been handling it like a pro until I saw this and strated scream crying. This absolutely shredded my heart. Nothing will ever be the same again. It's all over.

I'm so scared that this is where I am in my relationship. It scares me that this cycle is something that you repeat and are completely oblivious in the first parts because 'nothing could ruin this'

"You're both young, probably late teens, and both screwed other people" My teens are almost over and I haven't done that part :')

I’d watched this video multiple times before and it didn’t bother me very much because I was single. But now I’m in an amazing relationship and this is literally the scariest video I’ve ever seen

Years later, first time i listened to this I was deludedly in love with my that time girlfriend and i genuinely believed nothing could ever ruin this. Thats why I didn't notice myself slowly ruining it until it was too late. Had the worst break up a month ago and I've contemplated dying so many times because it was fucking difficult to know your negligence pushed someone that far. Now I've learned, gotten better but i cant have the past and it seems not like "nothing can ever ruin this" but more like "nothing can ever unruin this"

Recently got dumped 😂after 5.5 years of dating . I’m 22 and this video is quite literally the most soothing video to watch after my break up . So, thanks for this 💗

“‘Nothing can ever ruin this’, and now everything is fucking ruined!” is my entire life summarized in a single sentence.

What for? What for us this video? To say that some things are impossible, just because it happened to you? Just because you don’t know how to do it differently? I’ve seen love I’m my life. The real Love. It lives, even when your heart dies. Even when someone else comes to your life. You are missing this piece of puzzle in yourself, not in your partner. Love never dies, and no matter if you can’t be together by your own desire or by other life conditions, it lives. It gives you this sunlight, fills your heart with harmony, even if you live with someone else now. Even if your partner is dead. Even the thought about them fills your heart with appreciation, miracle of harmony and warm, gentle happiness. You don’t “become you again”, you don’t “recover from relationship”, if the love was healthy, if you were really healing each other and helping each other no matter what, if you were loving not for the relationship, but for the love itself, unconditionally. If you and your love is healthy, you become a better you. Forever

This video made me feel like my wife just divorced me. (I've never even had a girlfriend)

As a 14 year old whose never been in a relationship, this hits hard.

I just got into a relationship... why am I watching this I feel empty now

Didn’t expect this to hit me so hard. I’m fucking 17, this freaks me out.

Or you don't do any of that. And you watch another RU-vid video. And you hope that this next video, this one will be the one to give me the bit of knowledge that I've been missing. This will tell me how to behave differently to make all the things I hear about in other people happen in my life...but it never does...Maybe the next one, though. It's worth a shot, right?

I'm rewatching this video over and over again. It's so comforting. So...nice. I cannot stress enough how much I want this to be my life.

"Music is SHIT and food is SHIT and everyone is SHIT" my favourite line from anything ever

I've known this girl for about 3 years, and after dating for awhile we became best friends. 2 years in she told me she loved me one night and I froze trying to hold back tears. In that time I could never bring myself to love her with the same strength she showed me because I was afraid of opening up, giving up control of my emotions, committing to something real and just letting go of my fears. I have caused her so much sadness and lost her trust many times. The thing is, I've always loved her. But I couldn't get out of my own way and give her all of me. It was as if I was this empty vessels half the time just existing with her as she put in so much effort while we were together, and I was too complacent. But the feelings were always there. My dumbass just couldn't express them. I loved her deeply and cared about her so much that it always hurt me to see her upset, yet I was still incapable of giving her my heart. She was patient with me. Recently I've gotten past my insecurities and allowed myself to be completely open. I love her so much. Circumstances have changed, and now that I finally understand and feel what all of this really is, she's gone. And I only have myself to blame. Heartache has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. It hits you right in the gut and doesn't let up. I understand that the point of this video is to have us acknowledge that love is a continuous journey. However, I reached a point in my journey to know wholeheartedly that I had found what I was looking for in her. I don't want the cycle to continue. This feels, and is to me, absolute. If you think you've got something good, don't hold back. Run with it. Express yourself and do everything in your power to make the other person feel appreciated and respected. Don't lack effort. Love is powerful.

Hey man, how'd you feel about letting us translate the subtitles on your vids? I mean, there's a lot of really good content that I just can't show my friends 'cause they wouldn't get it.

This is it. This is exactly what happened to me, to a tee. Nothing could ever ruined it, and then it got ruined. I’m over her now, and it feels good. Time to try again with someone else. Thanks Exurb1a, for letting me know I’m not alone.

Congratulations, I'm more nihilistic now than I was 7 minutes ago. Edit: when I watched it again I understood it's true meaning. For anyone who didn't get it, the point was to say, you can't sit around, do nothing, and expect everything to work out the way it will. You must put forth effort for this to work out.

The amount of people losing faith in love after watching this is marvelous! Good work m8

actually, i'm young, and in love, and... that is terrifying: I understand that this vibrant, powerfull feeling I have right now goes away, but I hate that fact. I love this feeling and i love her, i dont want the passion to burn itself out yet it seems innevitable, uncontrollable, just like when i first felt it, when I fell in love

New Person, Same Old Mistakes by Tame Impala hits too real

Exurb1a: nothing can ever ruin this God: *Observe*

Thanks for this, it's more convenient, cheaper and most importantly, just as effective as seeing a shrink :)

This is by far the saddest shit I've ever came across and hits points that I never even noticed throughout my previous relationships until now. Everything is a cycle, it is only nature.

And at some point you realise, you actually don't need someonelse to be excited about things or to love music or feel whole. Feelings just appear and pass, no matter what you do. So you finally have time to do something meaningfull, that is not just about your own plesure but actually creat something benefitting many more people, reduce suffering, understanding and discovering how this world and life works. And thats fantastic.

Listen man, I didn't want to be so self deprecating by a clever British man on the Internet. I wanted to get sleep tonight but *NnOoOooO* this British man must question my existence. By being clever. .... .. And always runs out of milk apparently

_The cycle begins anew_ _And nothing can ever ruin this_

Whenever I feel sad about anything this I snuggle up, grab some alcohol and binge your videos. They always somehow make me feel less like shit. Thank you.

That was beautiful mate

Can't tell if it's a self aware description of the inevitable or a warning. Nevertheless I will continue life as normal having learnt nothing and feeling like I've learnt something important. That's probably how most people feel about most of your videos...

I rarely clap when I watch RU-vid videos, mostly because 1 not many diverse it and 2 me clapping at a screen alone in my room sounds weird. But this deserved it, my god it deserved it.

Coming here after a breakup in a relation(situation?)ship that went incredibly fast and burnt out because she emotionally shut down. You don't know agony until you're told you're everything someone's ever wanted and yet they want to live life more. I can't escape it even in my dreams. I can't live. Can't escape this in my dreams. About a week in I remember this video getting reccomended and getting this horrible sinking feeling. And I reinforced the feeling with the fact that Nothing Can Ever Ruin This. And nothing can ever ruin this. And nothing can ever ruin this. And nothing cAnd now everything is ruined

Exurb1a I know you’re probably never gonna read this but I want to say thank you for all your videos recently I escaped from a toxic relationship and you don’t know how much they have helped me through the relationship and aftermath I started watching you when I was about 13 years old and I’m now 16 going into college you have been my inspiration into researching philosophy and my general view on life thank you for helping me through the hardest time in my life I think I’ve watched this video about 99 times in my life lmao
