"Can't wait to grow up" I'm sure everyone wishes they could go back at some point in time, we need to enjoy what we have while we have it. I just wish there was a way to know when you're in the good times before they become the good times
I just turned 18, 18 days ago. Idk how to respond. If we had to deal with all of this stress as teenagers, how bad is adulthood going to get. That keeps me awake at night.
I've watched this several times and finally looked at the lyrics. Growing up without anyone knocking on the door of your heart. Not needing someone else to keep you warm, but life still feels hollow. It feels like you should be happy, but you're not.
Just turned 18, still haven't reached my goals yet. and awfully am disappointed in my first few years. Hopefully things get better. And yes, for you too, dear reader who have read my comment.
I'm almost reaching quarter of a century and I still have no proper plan for my life, you just turned 18 and have a lot of time to think and mull about on your next step, don't worry about achieving those goals you set yourself right now. You don't automatically become wise/smarter when you reach that age, the comment above is a very good advice, 18 or not.
Keep going guys. I'm only 23 but I can tell you it gets easier. There's rough patches but that's nothing new right? Even as kids you had your struggles but still you're here and you've made it this far. It's gonna be new troubles but so many more possibilities. For every day you work your ass off there's another that you'll never forget. For every tear shed, there's a smile you'll treasure forever. Keep going, stay strong, it feels like you're so alone in the world but there's so much to see and do. Take the chance and keep going.
I'm 17 and I'm kind of scared. I've never really wanted to "grow up" because literally EVERYONE keeps talking about how much it sucks, so ever sice I was like 8 I'd still be like "Oh shit I better enjoy this before I become a boring adult" or something like that. Now I am Here 17 years old and so close to So much It's kind of scary and axiety inducing and overwhelming. The future's always been scary, but it was far away Now it's not ... I don't know what I wanted to say in this comment really I guess I was just Dumping my thoughts
20 year old here- you'll be fine. Anything in this world you can take and bounce back from no matter how crazy or how simple. Enjoy yourself, don't get caught up, and, good luck.
Same here. Though when i do et backed into a corner i want to make sure i don't block myself off from my friends like so many people do. That how i want to be supported.
i interpret it as the girl finally becoming an adult. she's turned 18, got her first real job, finally "grew up". except now that she's reached her goal, she doesn't know where else to go. she's reached the peak, and she doesn't see where things go from there.
Life really is beautiful. I’m 18 and i’ve been through so much heartbreak and disappointment but god damn it i’d be lying if I said I wasn’t so fucking happy that I was given the chance to live. To feel love for the first time. To cry at the sight of something beautiful. To just take it all in. Life keeps going. It never stops. And neither should you. The shitty you of the past is not the you of the present. You are beautiful and amazing and I hope someone tells you that because its what most of us need to hear sometimes. Thank you for the video Pear
Thank you, This means a lot to me and I’m sure it means a lot to someone else out there too. You’re all wonderful and amazing and I’m glad to be able to see that not everything is going to be crappy. Thank you 💕
Hey pear I was wondering if the girl in the birthday party who wasn’t invited is the same girl as this because they both wear their hair in a ponytail and have the orbs above the head, if not still an amazing animation, I was just wondering if there was a connected story because I really like all your work and the emotion you display with it.
@@anisomniac5931dang that sucks. 17 here as well, I know there's ways around it but you kinda have to work alot and all that stuff. Tbh I don't really know what I'm gonna do.
@@anisomniac5931 you don't have to jump into debt but to do so trep VERY CAREFULLY as in focus on something you can do and get lessons for that only I did it all on only FAFSA money as long as you take it slow to keep the grades it will be enough ( for community College) other places I don't know
I cried. I clicked on this video thinking it would be a joke about her being a giant since I didn't see what she was standing on but now I just have crippling depression.
This is just amazing. It puts together an important point in anyone's life that puts you in a state of dilemma. You could be beyond excited for what can be and you can be beyond nervous of what might not be. This is like breaking past the horizon on uncertainty in life. You've just started out and you might not know where to go or what you even really want. This is a moment to get lost in thought and you might sink so far you could drown. Brilliantly put together. It feels so raw and personal. Fantastic work.
You know it's weird at a very young age I realized that being an adult sucks. I've heard a lot of stories about people wanting to grow up but for me, I was always very satisfied with having very little responsibility. I Didn't always get to have what I wanted but I was privileged enough to be able to have fun with what I had. Now every day I get closer to graduating from college and joining the workforce and I'm just sad to see the last vestiges of my adolescence slip away. I'm glad, at the very least, I was able to appreciate my childhood while I was in it even if it was accompanied by a consistent dread knowing it would end.
This. This is one of, if not the best animation on RU-vid. Unironically, this is a masterpiece. I can not possibly describe why, and i feel like this might be your Magnum Opus.
Oh so its Cantonese? I thought it sounded Chinese overall but could not recognize the individual words(when it said 18, I shoulve heard the shi-ba which wasnt there). That is very cool!
@@SunnyKimDev Funny story: I heard a friend talking in Shanghainese and I felt like it was definitely Chinese, but I was flip-flopping between whether it was Mandarin or Cantonese because those are the only two I know. A few months ago a saw a video of someone speaking Scots, and if you want to know what listening to Shanghainese was like for me, go look it up.
I hope you are not feeling too stressed. 18 is very young and you have many first experiences waiting for you. As you get older you'll realise that everyone, even older people, are just taking things day by day and most people don't really know what they're doing. Find people who will walk with you and you'll be alright.
This inspires such a level of melancholy that I feel both young and old, weathered and clear. A sense of longing for both something simple, and something fulfilling. Almost like questioning what the meaning to life is. All in all a beautiful and wholly introspective piece. Thanks
The most beautiful thing PEAR ever made It's just so poetic, cute, amazing, surreal It sounds like something you'd see at the credits of a Studio Ghibli movie I love it!
I feel like I’ve seen this before. I’m not sure when, I’m not sure where. The feeling is so familiar, yet I can’t quite grasp it completely. It feels as if it was years ago, in a dream I never forgot. A mere feeling bringing me back to days of innocence. The feeling is so distant and yet so strong. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is though. Maybe one day I’ll find out. Maybe the feeling will pass and I will never experience this moment again. Only time will truly tell.
BEAUTIFUL WORK SIR. Amazing animation, and a lovely voice to accommodate that short song. I hope you make more content similar to this alongside your occasional memes going into the future, this channel is truly a hidden gem of RU-vid.
For someone who’s really lonely and never really hang out with my friends very much, this is how it feels to go home in the evening after happily hanging out with people.
The thing I love about music is that it can always provide the feeling of tranquillity. From violins to cellos Soprano to base Music will always be a beautiful aspect of cultures and life.
Everyone has their own troubles. Some of us hate each other, and some love and have feelings for one another. But deep down inside, no matter what we do, we are all human. -me, 2021
man being grown up is great, i love it. i dont know why, but not knowing wtf to do is kinda nice at times. its nice because there is no knowing of what i should do, there is nothing i should do, only things i maybe want to do, i live to find those things.
God I am having nostalgia flash backs. My parents used to play this song a lot when I was little. I even understand the lyrics (the Chinese), hits really hard
It's a strange feeling being adult and graduating high school. It is liberating but also a dangerous, Herculean task. I have many years to figure myself but their are cracks in the road, I'm closer to homelessness than ever having security.
I don't know if there's actual context but this video gets my imagination going a bit so I'll type what I think out. Why not? So this moment is the emotional climax of a 12 episode series. Maybe around episode 10 or 11, right? The young woman stands atop the city she lived in for the past 3 years, deep in reflection. Her quest to become a world champion Battle Architect is at a stand still. She is at her lowest point. She failed her last architecture project, a climatic Tower building project that her and her group of friends (and enemies) have been working on for months. She takes this personally, as she took responsibility as the leader of the project, as any protag does. After being seen as having "tons of potential", the loss is absolutely crushing to her. After hearing the news, she walks aimlessly into the night, unable to bear seeing her friends disappointed faces. She climbs on top of the shrine she remembers visiting as a kid with her grandmother. She misses her grandmother. Her grandmother was the one who encouraged her to become a Battle Architect, after all. After her death, she felt something missing in her life. After losing this last project, she feels like she lost a bit of her grandmother's respect. She stands atop the shrine and thinks for awhile. On the verge of tears and with the night wind blowing in her hair, she remembers that one song that her grandmother used to sing. She asked her about it one day. Her grandmother responded "It gave me comfort during my darkest time." She closes her eyes and sings tenderly to her audience of none. She is only thinking about singing. For a moment, nothing else matters. She stares into the city skyline, gazing at everyone around her. She thinks about all of the friends she made. All of the life lasting friendships waiting to be made in this city. She thinks about all of the people who have supported her and that love her unconditionally. She knows despite everything, it will all be okay.
Was watching this three years ago, wishing to be better. I’m a lot better. Thanks Pear, I’ll keep coming back to this to remind myself to keep going🧡🍉❗️
recently I’ve just turned 13, it may be because haven’t experienced adulthood but the thing that makes me not wanna go back. Is the realization that id lose everything I’ve learned, and everything that i interacted with. Growing up is crazy scary. But there are some positives as well.
I watched this 3 months before my 18th birthday when it wad released and on my 18th birthday and now im 20 and watched it again and damn i finally feel the video absolutely love the artwork animation and music in your videos and this one is absolutely one of my favorites its just an absolutely beautiful song and animation keep it up pear you make absolutely amazing works
I saw this video when it first came out. In that time, I changed my career path, finished college, and now I'm taking my first steps into my job. It's scary, but this video reminds me that it's scary for everyone else too. It helps me feel better
I watched this video last night and the emotions and clarity it gave me helped me realize more about myself and finally mentally confront a lot of stuff I had bottled up for years. So, thank you for that. I appreciate it. :)
Thanks, past me. I've needed to hear that after this crazy year. And to me from the future whenever you see this: *life is still beautiful and it always will be.*
Holy shit, this was beautiful. I should watched, nay, experienced this sooner when I saw it in my YT recommend video section. And your Procrastination video and livestream price this exquisite taste in music.
@@shpho There are plenty of native languages from every regions through out China There is : "Hakka" , "Hokkien" aka Fujian , "Guangdong" aka Cantonese , "Fuzhou" , "Hainan" The list goes on
I saw this in my reccomended and it was beautiful and made me cry.upon checking your channel to subscribe,an uninterpretable feeling that can only be described as whiplash hit me when I saw you were the person who made the little pogchamp animation.
The animation and the song, i dont know why but it almost brought a tear to my eye, it trapped me, and i watched the whole video, im in love with this.
Turning 18 tomorrow. I don’t really know what to say, and I realize now that likely nobody will read this. Life has been strange, and looking back on the most extremes of highs and lows I’ve experienced, I like to think it’s been a good run. I have yet to love anyone, so I hope that’s a nice experience- I have already lost someone, so I know how crippling that can feel, and I hope I don’t have to do that much ever again. Whatever the case is, life is an odd adventure of ups and downs. There’s much to do from here on out. Wish me luck. Oh, and if you did end up reading this, thanks for sticking around. I’ll be wishing you luck too.
This gives me the vibe of someone depressed living in a city, who finally makes up their mind to move to the country. They never find someone to settle with, but they're happy in their solitude. I know it's about aging, and the inexorable March of time, but I see someone who's happier as a solitary hermit.
I'm seventeen years old, and I play football, I just had an injury, the week before our first game, that will prevent me from playing my senior year, and from playing in college, I just got back from the doctor's office, grabbed my phone to put on some music, and here this song is. This was a bueatiful, surreal experience
The song is so fuking soft and and animation is so damn soothing but that ruler legit gives me anxiety I feel like I'm for some reason supposed to be paying attention to class.
Im literally turning 18 this year and this video hit me like a truck, i always think about whats gonna be my future and if my future will be bright, theres so much problems when you grow up i just hope i can manage the hardships im going to face and love what i do for a living
