lives were changed. tears were shed. hearts were broken and put back together again. crops flourished. jaws are on the floor. words were all stolen. breaths were taken away. standards were risen. DAMN. this audio, man. the script, the execution, and the heart of it all: the heartwrenching portrayal of both grieving a person who's still there and refusing to give up on them. aughughhgh i’m gonna throw up i think
Oh my! Please don't throw up haha 🤍 But gosh, thank you very much for this amaris! I had a good laugh and still felt the sincerity in this comment. It really means a lot 🤍

So 42 minutes, I'll have to hope my essay fits. So I know a lot of people said this causes emotional damage but I cannot describe how much i am impressed by this audio. First of all from the very first sentence, it was happiness that served as a foil to the strained happiness shown later, you could hear the love and care in your voice, the nervous pauses, you could hear how each word you rolled it around in your head before saying it, it wasn't a "just got back voicemail", it became a "this is how the listener is clinging back to their old self hoping they become that person again" type voicemail. The transition especially into the 'real life' section too was so well, plus one thing I found helpful was the "mental fog" you have the listener, that some words were clear and the other garbled, until finally it fades out. Each time you appeared in the room you could tell the emotions were weighing on you, even the greetings were drenched in heaviness and the laughs were nervous and not as light hearted as you clearly were trying to seem. Even without visuals you could hear in each laugh, each pause how you weren't making eye contact, looking around so you wouldn't cry. Oh one technique I found really interesting is with each iteration of "My name is Nora" in the first half they words that were muffled seemingly became clearer for example you can hear one of the cats is called muffin the second time but you couldn't in the first time. It gave a false sense of hope that the listener was remembering more, then the third time hit like a truck the increased garbling of words the fact you couldn't finish it because it was too much on the listener. The fourth time you hear how "Nora" is struggling to say each word because he knows, he knows the listener is looking more and more lost and the mental fog is so bad they don't hear his name anymore. Hearing the juxtaposition of Nora dealing with the absolute pressure of working two jobs and shouldering the responsibility of being a carer, and how your tone changes to protect the listener in a false state of security as if the world outside doesn't exist. The calls with your boss to beg for more time you hear the strain on you, the call with the doctor, the call I'm sure many have had and I wouldn't wish on a worst enemy, the brutal drop to a whisper showing the fear, the desperation, the false sense to convince yourself that they're getting better, the begging because you know, you know it's bad for them. To finally acceptance, hopeless, wretched acceptance that there's no more you can do but you still cling to what you have. That was the moment you heard the character finally crack and the world fell on them. To the apologies because you know you have to be strong and you put on a brave face and the heavy sigh to say "this is it." And you turn around to put a brave face on for them, and smile to say "it's all good." You choose your words around them so carefully like I mentioned before it's as if the words are being processed in your head first. Each story is modified to accommodate the listener not having the same memories the character has, and you can hear (especially in the hiking story) how much you're holding back in details, this isn't fond reminiscing, it's brutal and raw and holds so much sadness as you know you can't tell the story the way you truly want to, and you can hear the hurt even in the showing of pictures, you can hear how you have to explain things that the listener normally would know and how hard it is to put what's usually in nuance into words for someone who no longer shares these memories. "It's completely fine"- that line you can hear the force in those words of the desperate hope of "Nora" that the listener will remember, and the false assurance to the listener it's not their fault. Using the door opening as a passage of time was a really unique technique as not only does it show how the time has progressed, but also gives the audio the sense of being the character and the listener being stuck in some sick time loop, the same events happening again and again , with the listener deteriorating until finally at the end the cycle is finally broken, and that is such a hard thing to execute and you really did it seamlessly. After the call with the doctor you can hear how broken Nora is and even in the hospital, you hear how he's got a sense of forced happiness, making sure he doesn't sit so his facade doesn't break, when the listener remembers his profession you hear the change where he breathes better to the point his words almost fall out of his mouth to recount the story again but this time more excited and the listener remembers points. The point he climbs into bed with the listener is the first explicit mention of physical contact with the listener and I think that's a significant plot point, the world quiets down and the hospital fades and the sounds you hear are the same ones you used for them at home and I thought that was an amazing style choice. Especially as when you mention rain, we hear the rain, subtly showing the listener remembers that as we never are told it's raining at the hospital. The repeating of words "over and over again" in triplicate is a reminder of the time loop of before. As Nora goes to leave we "return" to the hospital noises of the talking and heart rate monitor, until finally the cycle is broken the voicemail plays in silence, and that is such a powerful ending not just because the voicemail is finally finished (a technique I've only seen executed well once in 'The amazing Spiderman'). But the silence shows finally the mental fog or storm the listener always has when remembering is gone and only the clarity or silence remains, such a perfect open ending to this. Thank you so much for this one Nora, you really stepped up in script, and editing and as much as I love your comfort audios, you can hear how much creative freedom you had with this to take it in the direction you did.
We need part 2 of this Just because this Nora DESERVES happiness after enduring the pain of waiting for something uncertain. I want to witness his happiness when the listener starting to remember bits by bits of their core memories, the baby steps of happiness You suffered so much in this audio Nora 😢
Agreed 💯 😢 this Nora deserves a world full of happiness. Imagine he arrives one day and start telling the "hi, I am Nora, I'm your boyfriend" and suddenly the listener say something else... Something special to confirm that they remember Nora... ❤

it's so interesting how it all feels like an unending cycle that you can't escape from. there's just enough things that are similar between each scene to where it draws your attention to it as well as what's different between each scene. and the way you have time pass too! there's all these big things going on in the listener and nora's lives but it's almost like you're left trying to make sense of your lives together through these tiny snippets. you're missing out on so much but you just _can't remember._ and time slips through your fingers no matter what you do. you just keep forgetting more and more. it's so tragic but yeah enough rambling. i loved this audio so darn much! the script, the sfx, the story, your voice acting??? heartstopping. earth-shattering. my non-existent therapist will be hearing about this /lh
the static-ish sound effects got me... i imagine the listener looking over with a blankish stare as time slips through their grip. man...the frustration i feel from the call with the doctor. wherever they are, i hope these two characters will always remember the peace and warmth they felt with each other.
It begins with:Ohhhhh! Voicemail series! And then at 8min30s had a feeling I might cry my eyes out. At 31min crying with Nora,And I can’t stop now. (Nora’s voice is so gentle the whole time!)
I have no idea what to say. The only thing that I can think of is that I have NEVER heard an audio this extremely well done before. For you to get all of the story you did in just 42 minutes is literally incredible. I can't even begin to imagine how much work and time it took to get this audio to be as amazing as it is. Thank you Nora, for all the hard work you put into your audios, I cannot wait for what you have in store for us in the future!
Goodness, thank you so much for all this Dancergal56! Now *I* have no idea what to say to this! Haha 🤍 I just appreciate all your words so much! I can't wait for what's in store for you all in the future either
I think the listener finally remember Nora cos Nora used to say that the voicemail always cut off at some point but in the end, the listener heard the end of the voicemail. It must be something from their memory. Anyway, beautiful execution. I could hear every emotion, every pain. It was so beautiful.
I'm glad in the end the listener slowly gain their memories (right?) otherwise I'll break into pieces 💔😭 I'm always amazed by all your scripts and your acting, your other audios rather easy listening, but this one... really dig deep physically and mentally 😍Anyway, looking forward for more more on your audios next. Congrats on "40k going to 50k" subs, Nora 🤍
every time i come back to this it’s always when i need a good cry and IT ALWAYS WORKS 😔 literally sobbing crumbling crawling across the floor in tears ☹️
the way you put your mind into making these stories is just immaculate. if this was a movie or a series, i will definitely be hooked into it and wait for more episodes to come. i feel so bad for Nora for not remembering things about him and us and you really made me bawl my eyes out when you cried :( it would be more emotional if this audio will have another part :( anyways, thank you for making this amazing (emotional) audio, Nora! 💗 this is now one of my fave audios !!
you know what, i just want to get chill, working on my task and listening to yours but out of nowhere my eyes become watery and start crying horribly i can feel your sincerity Nora
I’ve learnt my lesson to not listening to nora’s video at the office cause i tried so so hard not to sob listening to lost time. And now listening to this before bed is not a good idea either. I’m bawling my eyes rn 😭😭 This is sooo good. The script, sfx, visual, Nora’s voice were so amazing. Real talent. Thank you for your hard work, Nora 🤍
Nora, oh my god, this is phenomenal! You are so incredibly talented and I don't think words will make justice to the experience of listening to this. The storyline, the execution, the little details. This is art. I loved it so much, and I hope you know you DELIVERED!
38:28 "I vaguely remember the last time we were like this", I just know my stupidass would hit poor nora with the "then youre already doing better than me"
this was like a short film but audio only-so perfect & creative! the brief little flashbacks (?) with certain words were such a great touch! and the crying??? i am amazed. this was an amazing (and emotional) experience, nora. you kill it every time 💖💖
I really like how in the end when he is talking to the listener the sounds of the monitor and everything just change into this calming sound, the listner do feel safe and loved and comforted by him. Its so sweet 🤍
Dropping a message! I've been coming here for the past few days, crying, smiling and feeling the pain. To me, it's just like "wow, to give yourself whole to someone, even when they don't remember you, is like pouring yourself to them, and appreciating the beauty of the person without boundaries." Thank you for putting in the hard work for this, and i'm in awe at the message and the emotion behind your words. I'll support you!
This is one of the best audios ive ever listened to. I swear the emotions, the plot, the sequence are all truly amazing. I was crying so much and the end was just perfect I LOVE IT. Thank you so much for this piece of art, Nora!! ♡
I used to listen to your audios every day before going to sleep, and the amount of comfort and safety that I feel when hearing them is indescribable. In my worst and best days, you were always here with me, giving my heart peace, love and Protect me from all my negative thoughts every night I hope you’re okay rn and always Love you 🤍
Nora never fails to amaze us from every single audios he's doing and the way his voice delivers every words and script on his audio, especially this one, the fact that this audio felt so nostalgic that it was referenced to the other audio that he did. The reminiscing, the nostalgia that I felt. This is just so amazing and thank you so much Nora for this update and your hardwork! ❤️
Started this audio thinking “Hmmm this will be a good audio to listen to before bed.” and ended up crying several times. It was so well done and i legit felt like i forgot how to breathe during some of the parts. It was so gorgeous though i loved it!
i really hope there’s a part 2 😭 one of my favourite audios by far. the amount of effort you put into this…thank you for sharing your talent with us nora 🥺🫶🏼
babe wake up… new nora vid for the books 🗣️🔥‼️ this actually shot me in the heart multiple times every audio you make is so well done 😭😭 each time the audio did that blurring thing or there was a transition i was just sitting there like “omg… WAIT…” i can’t think of the words to describe this one but just know it was sososoooo good 🫶🫶 who has the tissues fr
42:00 Minutes!!!! Thank you Nora, I hope you’re happy and healthy🫂🫂🫂 Edit: I never. ever. Wanted to jump through a Screen to hug a Character from an audio so badly. I am actually devastated…
40:48 Nora: *has us all in TEARS delivering some of the most heartfelt lines I’ve ever heard in an audio, breaking our hearts and putting them back together again as another commenter wrote* Also Nora: “Man, I sound so lame. 🤕🫠” Meanwhile, the ‘emotional’ descriptor tag is such an understatement - does anyone else think we need a comprehensive rating system for how much each of Nora’s audios will make the listener cry? Examples include “enough tears to set Noah’s ark afloat,” “could lead to a rise in sea level,” or perhaps “high risk of causing a Kleenex shortage.” 😅 Nora, your storytelling and sequencing are exquisite, as always. Thank you for consistently producing top-tier content for us all 🤍 Sending love!
I came into this all sleepy and ready for some snuggly audio but then I didn't expect the storyline to go that way at all. So in the story, the listener gets into an accident while listening to the voice message? Then boom, amnesia. And the whole sequence was kind of like a montage of the boyfriend helping his lover regain their memories by repeating facts about their relationship over and over again. Is this right? I do have questions though! There were some inconsistencies that I was sure were intentional. Sometimes, it's 1 cat, 1 dog. Other times, it's 2 dogs, 1 cat. Sometimes, they're left with his mom, sometimes the dad, sometimes the brother. Am I overthinking this? Is the listener even conscious/alive when he's talking to them? Was it all just in his head afterall because he still can't move on from the tragedy? It's almost midnight here and my last two brain cells are officially out of commission. Thank you for this audio, it was so immersive with a unique sequence and flawless editing. Your content is always so wholesome and well thought out. Ohh and yaay for Fiji Blue! Keep up the good work, Nora! 😊❤
Thank you very much for leaving this comment, Trina Marie! 🤍 Those inconsistensies were intentional. I did a little bit of research before making this audio, and I learned about "confabulation," a type of memory error that's common among people with amnesia (and other memory disorders). It's when the person's brain makes up false memories to fill in the details of memories that they don't remember well anymore. It usually happens when the person themself is talking about the memory (and not when they're listening to someone recall a memory like in this audio), but I had no other way to show it haha. I didn't want to leave confabulation out, so I went with incosistencies to try and show it!
@@NoraASMR the amount of effort you put into this is honestly astonishing. Like I barely put effort into my daily life and you out here doing all this for us 🥹 thank you Nora ❤️❤️
I'm on vacation since Monday and it's really hard for me to fall asleep since I have a huge jet lag. Thank god I found your audios. I have listened to all of them in 4 days and I just wanted to tell you that you have a really soothing voice. I kinda fell in love with it. It's astonishing how you manage to make your content this realistic. All the other audios I listened to consisted of people trying to be hot by forcing a raspy voice. Above all, you give good advice that I really take to heart. I believe you must be a really caring person in real life, too.
I can't even begin to explain this absolute masterpiece of a video. I keep relistening to this because it's so incredibly well done and provokes such genuine emotion without being overly dramatic. It's such a uniquely constructed video, honestly. I never listen to asmr audios like this. You're extremely creative and this video is so beautifully well crafted. Good job ❤
Goodness, this was absolutely incredible and out of this world. The gnawing feeling of sadness really took me to the edge that it got me tearing up. I noticed how every time you introduce yourself to the listener, they gradually lose the sense of remembering anything, it really leaves us with a heavy heart! And hearing the desperation in your voice was hard, I have to admit that I cried because of it. This was indeed a rollercoaster ride of emotions but it leaves us with a content smile knowing the listener is getting better by the end of it and so was Nora. (I'm not much of a commenter since I really get carried away with sharing my thoughts on magnificent audios like these but I really enjoyed listening. I really appreciate the huge work and effort you put into these long audios for us to indulge so thank you, Nora! 💚)
I'm almost a year late to this, but thank you so much for all the kind words 🤍 I often go back to reading the comments on this video because this was one of my favorite to make, and I'm never disappointed by how honest and lovely everyone's thoughts are. And ah! It always makes me giddy how people pick up on certain details. I love it so much. Thank you very much as well, Kiyoomi! 🤍
Writing this with literal tears in my eyes right now probably a bad choice to listen to this right before bed but whatever [spoilers] This broke me in thousands little pieces. I started crying midway and didn't stop till the end. The connection with that past audio also was absolutely heart breaking. And honestly this was an absolute masterpiece, from the writing to the performance to the sound effects. EVERYTHING. The first part hinting just a tiny bit of what would happen... My heart is just in Shambles. Also kind of a personal thing. My mum had cancer and when it reached her brain she struggled to remember us so this hits close to home. I lov d this very much and you weren't kidding when you said it would be much more emotional than the other one. Thank you Nora for another great audio ❤❤❤
The main reason I wanted to work hard for this audio especially was because I know how close this audio can hit home for some people. I didn't want to sell out on how tragic and sad the reality of this can be. Of course, an audio is just an audio, and it can never amount to how the real thing feels, but I at least want it to have the same message and the same melody. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts, Read_deer! It's another reason for me to keep on pushing myself with these types of stories 🤍
@@NoraASMR you did an amazing job Nora truly and I am sure that everyone that shares an experience such as this knows that it is fictional and the audios intended purpose was to be angsty 🤍🤍🤍
This is just wow. I cannot explain how well done this audio is, I feel like a have knot in my throat, the concept, the story line, the background noises, everything is just perfect, you can completely feel like you are inside the story, it’s so well done you can clearly imagine every single thing that is happening without even trying, this amount of talent is insane. You deserve all the love and appreciation because this is an absolute masterpiece. I REALLY CANNOT EXPRESS HOW WELL DONE THIS IS OMFG. You are one of my favorite content creators on this platform and thank you so much for all the effort you put in this audios, you completely deserve all the love and support🤍🤍❕
Okay this was pure fantastic acting. I felt like I was in a short movie. Nora have you ever considered being in acting? Cause you're really talented. This is was just a masterpiece. At first I thought it will be a cute little voice note but as time passed I realised what happened. I believe no other Asmrist do like you do. I genuinely cried like I was watching a movie, it felt so real, the way the character truly love the listener, the way he struggles but doesn't give up, the way he breaks down I can't it felt so tragic and hurtful. I cried and the little replay of the voice notes was chef kiss. Nora this was a masterpiece, I gotta say you're the best I may even show you to my friends (I never do so as I'm quite ashamed of bf asmr but you?! Nah you're different) Anyways thanks for the great work and perfect video with the background noises that act on the video. I just😢 ugh you're the best. I could possibly write a whole essay on how perfect this video was but it'll be too long. You may not see this but it's okay, just stating my opinion. Have a great and wonderful day❤ you never dissapoint♡
Aw, thank you so much Kit-kat! This was so heartwarming to read 🤍 I was actually interested in becoming a voice actor before starting a RU-vid channel, but I feel that I have lots to improve on first! And hearing how you're even thinking of sharing my work with your friends is so lovely! Thank you very much for all the lovely words (no matter how many)! Have a wonderful day too 🤍
@NoraASMR I believe if you ever enter into voice acting I'll 100% support you and probably recognise your voice😅. I also showed it to two of my friends last night they were flabbergasted by the acting, they never thought an Asmrist could be this fantastic as well there are some weird bf asmr out there. But anyways they liked it and told me to share your account 😀 (can't believe they wanted to beat me for not showing you to them before as if they didn't say bf asmr are cringe😒) anyways yea have a great day♡
Holy shit, that was amazing. I wanted to cry, question and break out of the narrative to hug him. By the ending, I'm sobbing. That was fuckin beautiful
that "they don't remember me anymore" hurt me SO bad i had to pause the video and punch the wall in tears 😭 this has to be the most gut-wrenching script i've ever heard, you killed it nora! ❤
saw this being mentioned a few times in the up and down live chat soooo now im here--- screaming nOooOo every time more details were gone, screaming more of a pained NOOOOOO when it was you that is being forgotten and sounds were getting more "blurry", the tearful nooooo i let out when you started crying--- AND THE WAY IT ENDED GOOOD LOOUURRDT yeah im kinda in shambles rn, raising my hands in defeat. this is just pure art and literature.
Whew! This is a tough one to get through. Thank you so much for your kind words and for the super chat, psychedelicbruiser! I really do appreciate it 🤍 "Pure art and literature" -- such high praise! Haha
omg this is so goodd aaaa i literally cried when nora cried 🥹 also.. spoilers...what happened at the very end? the voicemail continued so does that mean the listener finally remembered everything??? gosh ur audios are really the best when it comes to script writing 😩😩😩😩
a whole 42 minutes oh i am comfy, warm in my blankets, and a handkerchief ready to wipe my tears when it becomes emotional. thank u sm for this nora you are amazing! Edit: im bawling holy moly this is so tragic and beautiful and heartwarming and just… to have this unconditional love is such a treasure. the fact that through all those (presumably) years, he still stayed and they still stayed together despite the pain of forgetting, i think that is heartbreakingly beautiful. Id like to believe they made it together through and through. Well done nora! not a dry eye in the crowd for this one (in a positive way!)
I wanted that unconditional love to be the star of the show, so this was music to my ears Frances! Thank you very much as always for the lovely words 🤍 It really means a lot!
punching and kicking the air rn cuz of this audio 🥹 I did not expect to bawl my eyes out 😭 I don’t usually cry while listening to asmr audios like this.
Every time I tend to comment on Nora’s audio, all languages are feeble to describe how wonderful it is. Actually at the beginning I’ve sort of guessed out what gonna happen next. But I never guessed out how incredible your acting and script were going to be. No one will disagree that you are an excellent voice actor, script writer, and even a great director. The tone of your voice really made me feel so emotional. 16:16 That line “I have to take care……” got me a lot. The sorrow, helplessness, and kind of desperation hurt my heart so much. 23:17 Boy……I felt you were going to cry…… I’m so sorry I can’t remember anything……😢 31:02 Can anyone listen to this part without crying? I can’t anyway. The lines broke my heart into pieces…… I can’t handle these emotions. Plz work work work my brain. God I don’t wanna forget him……! I’m not sure whether I fully understand the ending. I remember the voice message was cut off (sorry if I misunderstood), but at the end it continued. Did that mean the listener remembered something? Thank you so so much for the audio! I think this audio would be the most difficult one for me to write comment, cuz I can’t come up with any word to describe how touched I was when listened to it. Sorry about that. Also congrats on 46k! Looking forward for “something special” for 50k! Btw I’m glad I didn’t choose to listen to this audio before bed. Otherwise I would slept with my swollen eyes.
Ahh I always appreciate your comments, phantomblue! No matter how feeble you think all languages are to describe my audios, I always find that your and everyone's words are enough! Thank you very much 🤍 I really tried putting myself in this audio, and I felt more into character than any other video I've done before. It was a lot for me emotionally, but I think the result was worth it in the end! As for the ending, your interpretation is just as valid as mine! Though we pretty much have the same understanding, haha. The way I see it, it's the Listener finally remembering what I said in that voice recording! Maybe at the start of the audio, they physically couldn't hear the rest of it because they just had zero recollection. It was reflected too in how as time progresses, the Listener remembers less and less about Nora and their relationship. But as they start to get better in the end, they begin picking up on details again (like how Nora is a software engineer), manifesting in the Listener finally being able to hear the end of that voice message. Also thank you so much for the congratulations, phantomblue! It might be something members and Patrons are very familiar with at this point 🤭
@@NoraASMR I get it! I really love the way you brought out the story and Listener’s process of memory recovery. It’s an expression and edit art! (Thank you for sharing your thought with me ❤️)
how do i even put into words how perfect this audio was ?? the storyline, the sfx, your acting - it was all so so so perfect. i absolutely adored this audio ( even if it was absolutely gut wrenching and i was trying really hard not to cry lol ) i’m always so blown away by how gentle you sound, and how i could hear the care and love and the pain in your voice. i hope you know how much we all love and respect you for the constant effort and care that you put into your audios, you’re truly one of a kind nora !!
Voice memos have so much untapped potential and I am here for it! Do you want angst, have saved voice recordings of a passed/old friend or lover. You want something sweet, a voice message from a partner (bonus points for long distances). 💜✨💜
They really do have so much untapped potential! All of the audios in this space are basically very well-made and fancy voice memos, so when I hear a video that's actually meant to be one, there's always another level of realness to it! 🤍
In 'Lost Time' I cried for like 2 min but now I been crying for the entire audio no joke. I have so much to say but damn your voice, script, and everything is so moving. Very niceeee
I love this one so much! your audios are always so well written and well made, there's like a touch of realism to it + you always nail my favorite tropes, you're my fav person ever nora! you never fail to make me feel loved, comforted and happy, much love to you 🤍
I would like to say I loved loved this audio, from the button of my heart. I felt the same emotions I get when I read a book. The way the air left my lungs in some parts, how I couldn't help ot but cry along... You are a genius Nora. I'm really thankful for the day that RU-vid recommended me one of your audios because now I can't imagine a world without you honestly. Oh and I'm so sorry for the long comment but... Yeah. Thank you very very much. ❤
I like how some of your audios makes me cry. I hope you could make more of this. I also like the way we figure out how the audio would go. I was crying so hard while listening to this I need someone like this in my life T^T
my god, i'm speechless... this is deserves to be nominated for something LIKE YOU DESERVE AN AWARD from how great you are with what you do and how hardworking you are Nora! I'm always so excited for your audios... please don't make us wait for the pt.2 too long please >~< much love from me, eli
this is genuinely hard to go through in a single setting. i need to stop multiple times because the dawning realizations of what’s happening just broke me into tears 😭💔 thankyou, nora (with tears and snot running down my face)
I cried so hard Nora, why 😭😭😭. This was so beautiful though. Your love for the listener, never once faltering, determined to be there with them forever. I can feel the love and devotion in your voice but also the stress it has on taking care of a loved one, not to mention the mental toll. But you're not leaving us Nora. You're here to stay by our side, always. And that's why love you ❤. Excellent audio 🤗
I'm sorry, Poly_Pan0118 😭 Thank you so much for all these lovely words! Gosh, you hit it right on the head with these emotional beats. And I love you all too! 🤍
dude i'm gonna throw my head into a wall I WAS JUST ENJOYING NORA AUDIOS AND THEN I CAN'T STOP CRYING i just found nora and decided to listen to all of the audios which has been a great experience and for some reason i didn't listen to this one yet and OH MY GOD WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF anyways this was wonderfully written and the repetition is crazy NORA WHEN I CATCH YOU NORA
I couldn't watch the 2nd half after a few hours because I knew it would be emotional and i'm kinda in my emotional phase right now because of my exams and researches coming all together at once but I finally finished listening to the audio! Nora crying would never not make me cry. There is this emotion that he never fail to touch or reach (is that the right word?) in our hearts. I had a hunch that the listener would have some type of memory loss (dimentia maybe?), it kinda reminds me of that anime called "One Week Friends" wherein the the girl forgets everything every week and she would write everything down on her diary to help remember things. I don't remember much of it because I watched it a loooong time ago but yeah, that's what I remember (oh no, am I having a memory loss too?!). The ending gave me a sense of relief because it seems to me like the listener is remembering something. Especially that scene about remembering that Nora is a Software Engineer! The script, the acting, and just everything really is amazing. It captures the listener's hearts. Thank you, Nora, for blessing us once again with another audio!! 🤍
Man I was literally crying in my room for 30 minutes straight I mean this really REALLY moved me it’s absurd how an same roleplay thing made me feel so many things you really have a lot of talent and I’m really bad at writing comments but I really wanted you to know that you are really talented and that you make AMAZING content for real. You should be a director or something because damn
I usually don't leave any comments but this vid made me do it. I can't even express how much i love your work and the creativity you put into these videos. Nora I just hope that you find the happiness that you deserve thru your hard work and I wish that you find someone that appreciates you as you are YOU (idk if i am making any sense). Again i loved this video of yours, it was such an emotive and stunning piece of art. thank you for your time and dedication Nora 🙌
random share, lost time was actually the first audio i heard from your channel and i immediately knew i was gonna be hooked on your audios. i had a good cry on that audio and i look forward having a good cry on this one too
im almost near the end and i still cannot fully comprehend the whole plot, but im eating it up nonetheless🫵 i love your plot as always, they’re so well written i cant even guess what’s gonna happen next
Gosh, this made me cry so much and I'm actually post midnight shift so my eyes were already dry and irritated, I hope by tomorrow, they don't end up being all puffy. I'm holding you accountable! hahaha (I knew this would make me cry but still, I clicked on it, didn't I?) but, seriously, this was so well done, so well written, so well expressed (in speaking, the tone, the choice of words, the sound effects) I love how, each recount is slightly different because it shows how time has passed and the house/place you're still STILL trying to fix is the listener, isn't it? It hurts so much. The worst of the tears was that conversation with the doctor and then, 'they don't remember me anymore' It's like you went through all the stages of grief in those minutes. Denial that they're getting better, the desperation, the sad sad acceptance at the end when you admitted that they're actually not getting better. I love love love the ending when we finally get the completed voicemail. Also, this kinda inspired me a little to write a short scenario from the listener's POV. Thank you because any prompt/inspiration I get to start writing again is a good thing. (I've not written anything in ages, no thanks to adulting) Anyway, I'm really enjoying all your audios/stories. Thank you. 🥰
This one got me bad. I am a geriatric nurse and used to work with dementia patients every day, mainly in their homes, working with them and their families trying to avoid moving them to facilities. Dementia of course is very different from what you betrayed (I guess amnesia caused by headtrauma by car crash?) But the feeling of loosing the person you love most in the world day by day, bit by bit while they are still sitting in front of you is just incredibly incredibly sad to witness. And I am more than impressed how you managed to portray the listeners perspective. How strange, overwhelmend and sad they feel, watching their loved ones care and suffer while sometimes not even remembering their own name or anyone in their lives. It has been a few years since I did this work and your audio brought many memories back to me (isn't that ironic). Thank you for this masterpiece 🙏🏼
shit, I’m writing this with blurry vision… I love this so, *so* much. I- the concept for this is so unique, beautiful, and so emotional :( aish. reminds me of The Notebook, which is just a gorgeous movie, one of my favourites ever. Nora, you did SO well with this one. love you. crap, I’m now crying 🥺
I recently watched "Twenty Five, Twenty One" and I don't know what has broken my heart worse, if that k-drama or this audio. 😭 You're doing an amazing job, Nora. Everything you do always astonishes me and I love it. ❤
Just a new member and I can't say how much you mean to me:))) You are making me to willing and being a better person for myself and for my loves ones because I deserve it. They deserve it💕✨ Thank you Nora, you are my angel and I hug you and say it a hundred times out loud that : you are loved and enough just as you are ❤💕🍵
The crying started once the realization hit me ( the realization hit me way too quick, way too hard) and it didnt stop through the entire video, this is a masterpiece, you are beyond talented for igniting this much emotion from an audio, take care Nora ❤
thank you for this, I really needed something to make me cry after all the thoughts that were swarming in my head that made feel emotionally constipated. the story really helped with my emotions, so really... thank you
its been two months since this released, and every time i watch it its like my heart gets ripped out of my chest (in a good way i swear) and the video is so heart wrenching to me (again in the best way possible) HOPEFULLY LISTENER REMEMBERS SOON🙏🙏
just finished listening to the whole audio and currently bawling my eyes out :') i love the way you added sfx to add more drama to the audio, it hit me right in the feels :')
Honestly, this is so etheral. The concept and the quality. I was waiting for the moment of denouement, but still I was left mesmerized. I don’t know whether this will be continued,but I love it with all of my heart❤
Nora 😭 The way you set everything out is so well done,, at first I had no clue what was going on but as the details go by, the emotions just kept flooding in,, This was amazing thank you sm for the emotions 🥹
You've made me cry so much 😭😭 That was so amazing and breathtaking ! It's so cute, so emotional and your "pumpkin" signature makes my heart melt :)Keep up your videos they are amazing and take care of yourself you are amazing. ❤
I am out of words for this video. It's so emotional and makes my heart so warm. This so far is one of my most favorties. You are really something, Nora.
I made the mistake of attempting to multitask and listen to this while at the grocery store.. Apologies in advance for a longer message. But seriously, Mr. Nora sir, the way you're able to conjure up emotion in the listener not only by the touching and emotional story writing, but also in your amazingly articulate and attentive voice acting.. I'm truly in awe. (I could write forever about the last session of trying to get listener to remember and the emotional progression starting at 28:12 with the words "our room" and then "a dog and a cat," and then of course the amazing desperate and broken inflection in your voice talking to the doctor. I'm still fangirling to myself. ) I'm so glad I went back to listen to Lost Time before listening to Begin Again, and I thank you for the therapeutic tears lol. So very impressed with you and your content and I love getting to cheer from the sidelines!
Yes, this might not be the best audio to listen to on the side... Haha 🤍 I'm glad the tears were therapeutic though, Nagi! I appreciate all the kind words so darn much. I wouldn't be able to experiment with audios like these if not for you all cheering me on!
this is officially the first ever asmr audio that made me cry i thought ya'll were exaggerating with the crying when i was reading comments, but i also cried my heart out qpkqoqjwoa i love this so much, it really broke my heart whenever Nora was trying and repeating, especially the noises in between those that blurs it out and the last voice message that completes the cut offs MY GAWD I BAWLED i love love love this audio so much it made me sad my eyes are swollen im so emotional. i just wanna go out of my comfort zone and tell u how much i love this audio im so glad i discovered this channel 🥹🫶🏼
listened to this in the dead of night so i could cry my eyes out. currently doing so right now.. I LOVED THIS AUDIO. seriously nora is a genius. the inconsistency with the dogs and cats, his delivery during the call with the doctor, the end tidbit in which the listener remembers what he said, ALL OF IT. FANTASTIC. and the best part is that a lot of details are still left loose for the imagination to explore while still holding up a solid narrative. it’s very impressive. i listened to all 42 minutes wholeheartedly. i went back to listen to “lost time” before coming to this one and it was definitely worth it. my lord this deserves way more views than it’s getting. i hate this trope sm bc i cry almost every time but i still listened to this anyways because NORA DID FANTASTIC HERE. i have so many questions still but scrolling through these comments help validate some of my theories. also makes me less insecure abt overthinking it LOLLLL nora needs to give his brain a break and give himself a pat on the back for this one. his portrayal of his character was real, emotional, and for me it was just heart obliterating. him holding onto the listener and being by their side regardless if they remember or not is just AGSHDHHDHD. also want to point out whenever the listener doesn’t remember something, the blurring noise always sounds like a bustling street? maybe it’s the sounds of the accident we got in? maybe overthinking here again but like just a theory. (ps. sound effects in this audio were fire). also the end, was that something the listener remembered? i assumed it was but now i’m rethinking my interpretation. everyone please theorize and let me just steal those. ty 🫶 🫶
Hi Nora🩵 After listening to this audio, my mood feels really heavy. The atmosphere it conveys is like that the boy is destined to lose his partner, even though he's trying so hard. The content of Nora's audio is always more than just a sentence or a chill talk; it contains a whole story and new characters' lives. That's why I can't watch the premiere with everyone, because your audio always requires my full attention to feel the atmosphere within. This audio is truly stunning, leaving my heart both heavy and warm. Thank you for the effort you've put into it 💖.
