If you decide to leave someone. 

“Nostalgia is a liar in how it montages our best memories while omitting our truths” damn I felt that and it hurts how true it is

“Not every experience is suppose to last forever” I felt that ...

I kinda just wanted to share something with you guys. March 12th of last year I left the person I was with of 6 years. I watched this video and saved it in my “watch later” list. Today I’m cleaning out that list. I can’t see if I commented or not, but if I did, it is most likely expressing the searing pain I was going through. I thought that since March 12th is in 7 days, I would give you a look into what your future could be: I still think about him. Not everyday, like those first few months, but still more often than I would like to. I lived with this person for 5.5 of those 6 years, so we were a duo in everything. There isn’t a week that goes by without me seeing/doing something that reminds me of him. We loved to laugh, so there are jokes that I think of, but can’t tell anyone bc they wouldn’t think of it as funny as he would have. The pain of the breakup is still here. He still haunts my dreams. There are days where missing the good days are just as painful as remember the bad. But you do move on. I didn’t have family to lean on, but my friends picked me up and helped me tremendously. I was homeless in my truck for 2 months after the breakup, but I made it through. I lost 80 lbs, but I made it through. I lost one of my two jobs (called off too much bc of depression), but I made it through. If I were to give any advice, it would be to put your happiness first. I was under the impression that he was giving me the happiness that I had at the time, but that was just blinding me to the fact that I was in more pain than I was admitting. You will feel like your world is falling, your heart is shredding, and your veins are bleeding. But that pain helps you, it helps you see how strong you are once you come out the other side. No it won’t ever go away, just like the pain of the abortion I had from 7 years ago. But you learn to forgive yourself and to be your own best friend. You CAN do this. You just have to make the decision and stick with it. (I’m sorry, I’m not good with writing so I might have made a point more than once. But I was hoping to spread encouragement to anyone currently going through this.)

SHE WANTED ME FIRST WHY AM I THE HEARTBROKEN ONE

Staying with someone to avoid hurting them is worse than leaving. If you leave, they can heal. If you stay, they will spend much longer with someone who doesn't truly love them the way they deserve, and that's even more painful.

dear miles. thank you thank you. thank you for creating an amazingly unorthodox channel, channeling the unrealistically surging creativity flows of yours. thank you for being the exact person that the world precedes you not to be, to be, thank you for being. thank you for being. for existing, thank, you. thank god for you. you are the person that came onto my cold stare screen, the person when i have an infobesity episode, a hypomanic episode, a major depressive episode i look to, knowing that you provide me not only comfort but words. words that are like liquid gold, words so precious words so wise words so genuine words so real words to beautiful words so true. words as a product of a series of experiences that had come or has yet to come. you have helped me through dark times, you have helped me when i'm lost, you have helped me when i'm down, you have helped me when i'm depressed, you have taught me so much, too, that the people in my life yet to do. i see you. i hear you. you are everywhere, your message is everywhere when my fingertip touches the trackpad, knowingly realize that what i'm about to watch, is priceless. is knowledge. is love. you, are art itself. you are an artist that is not quite like others. you express art that is so touching, i'd cry when i hear your words. you refrain me from so many things, unutterable things. i am absolutely dumbfounded by you, your words and your art. the body that inches caged my love-thirst soul became a cenotaph. i am free, i am flow, i am. i have come to terms with learning that ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity, and pride is the burden of a foolish person. the art that you put out to the work accentuated that like no others. you are an untethered being, you are strong. you are loved. you are worthy. you are kind. you are compassionate. you work hard. you give and receive love in equal measures. you are multidimensional. you will unfold. the warmth of clouds will surge through you like the curvature of a wave just before it collapses into its own rhythm. listen. you are a sacred catalyst within this remembrance referred as the universe, your living reflection is a mirror of the purest form. etch your story deep into your skin. you are a dental miracle in a human form living a human experience. i cherish your existence as my own, too. i admire every piece of you inside and out. this world is million times more beautiful alongside each of your singing soul. you are not god, but you are a savior. the sleepless night when i am cold, alone, cement colored forces budged through me. for i to not cry myself to sleep, your voice put me to it. your interpretation of life, love, and people is astonishing. you are so much more than your age, your body. you, again, is a pure miracle. thank you. thank you.

sometimes we leave the person we love, not because we hate them, but because they've changed and we are afraid if we continue we will end up hating them

This hurt my heart. Currently going through a breakup that is best described by this video and it’s draining me to the point where I don’t want to feel anything anymore.

these are the most beautiful videos i've ever seen on youtube. they aren't corny, they aren't sappy; instead, they are so damn beautiful. they perfectly encapsulate the beauty and pain of love, growing, learning - everything that is life. i equate these videos to the feeling of taking a warm bath, lighting a candle and listening to the best music. we must protect miles carter at all costs!

You want my advice? Don’t fall in love.

"In time, you will heal." Time has only taught me that the wound never closes With time, it haunts -zack grey

“No one is entitled to any part of you for any more time than you are comfortable sharing yourself. So be selfish.” 🥺

"Do not sacrifice your own peace for the happiness of another in fear of hurting them, they will hurt and they will heal” This quote is so true in my life rn. I stayed in a relationship with someone for 8 years to fulfill their happiness over my own. I loved the person with all my heart but I didn't think I was fit for a relationship so I thought I needed time to find myself. I expressed this to him on multiple occasions but it never got through to him until he found someone else. He immediately left me to pursue her but still refused to let me go. Looking back I realize I could have prevented a lot of heartache on both ends had I been strong enough to leave when I first realized what I needed rather than feeling like I didn't have enough power to leave. I guess now is the time to learn myself and find inner happiness.

nostalgia is liar in how it montages our best memories, while omitting our truths.

A universe inside a vessel indeed.. this entire message is so well thought of... thanks for taking it on... I’ve been letting go of someone every day for the past 2 years.. By how I am feeling lately, I am glad for what progress I’ve made... I left it because I thought I was loved but I realized I was being manipulated. I wanted to be loved

Yesterday I left in happiness of another I’m healing and to my surprise he cheated and I’m ready to feel happy soon I loved him but I love myself enough to leave We ended it a while back but still kept communication cutting him off took everything and I’m already feeling better without him (and have a rlly cute crush now wish me luck :’))

i come back every so often to watch and rewatch this to remind myself that not everyone is worth the pain and struggle and mental torment that they give me when it’s always one sided, i’m growing and i am my own healer. i do not need anyone else to do the job i myself can do. things don’t work out often and that is okay. until i find someone worth my time i will focus on myself and give all the love id give to myself because i deserve to be loved and to love and what better way to start than with me. thank you

this video legit 💯

"You are a universe inside a vessel" is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Told my crush I can‘t be friends with him yesterday. He was not loving me back and it destroyed me knowing I will never get him. So I left him and I feel like after a break up. I know he is hurting too, he wasn‘t expecting that. I tried my best to forget it but the only way for me to get over him is losing contact to him. I hope he will heal. And i hope my heart can let him go and I can move on.

"you will realize that you are living without the one you thought you couldn't live without."

august 2019// i'm so glad that this video randomly appeared, i've been wanting to get out of this toxic relationship for so long and this gave me courage, specially the line *you are not obligated to keep anyone in your life, so experince fully and learn when to let go*, and when i finally did it, it was probably one of the best decisions i've ever made. I always try my best to make him happy but all he ever did is make me feel like shit. ps. if there's some sort of miracle and my "ex" saw this, please do me a favor and never ever comeback in my life :)

Today, I had to walk away from someone I love. It hurts, bad, I cry at every little thought and all I want to do is crawl up into a ball and ignore the world. I’m so sad, I’m so so exhausted from everything that I had no choice but to leave, and now that I have, I feel the weight of that loss on me. I’m praying for peace.

this is everything I needed to hear at this exact moment

getting recommended with this after deciding to let go of my person. Well played, universe.

"In fear of hurting them, they will hurt" so true I felt this ❤️

... and sadly sometimes that someone may not be your lover, but is you’re very best friend.

I left my boyfriend because he was toxic. I love him with all my heart but you can't love for two, "it takes two to tango". Nostalgia is a bitch but this feeling of emptyness will surely go away and I'll be happier than I've ever been.

you are so talented i can’t wait for you to get all the recognition you deserve

i left 4 months ago .. it’s the hardest thing i’ve ever had to do and the most painful im not there yet but i’m healing 💗

Beyond talented. Thank you for this

This video and the other one, I watched in high school before meeting my high school sweet heart. Here I am, 4 years later rewatching them, single and understanding. A love that ended abruptly, not knowing if it’s still there on the other side. Life got in the way, and she told me we’d try again later. Should I wait should I move on, doesn’t matter anymore. With time, even the most detailed paintings will start to smudge with wear and tear. Now when I see our picture, it’s just a remnant of what used to be, of what could’ve been, and even though I can’t see the picture as clear as I once did, it still makes me smile because i know I got to experience this feeling for a moment, and for that I’m grateful. Oh well, I know this universe has me painted in a picture already that I can’t see, I’ll trust the process.

👸🏽WELL, I STAYED UNTIL ALL THE CHILDREN WERE GROWN & STABLE👸🏽NOW IM FREE🕊

Found this video in high school when I couldn’t even relate to it. Now I’m in college and I keep coming back to the video while I move on from the guy who cheated on me. I’m tired of getting mad at myself for still having love for him despite everything he did. I have broken up with him but the love isn’t as easy to let go.

This is true , I’ve given everything to people I committed too. Now I’m giving to myself. I love love but I have to love me first.

hi. i feel like i just need to write a quick thank you. recently i’ve been in a shit mental state, depression and anxiety have been the only things on my mind. i found out a week ago the my (ex) boyfriend had been cheating on me my whole relationship, and it kind of crushed me. thoughts of me not being good enough for anyone consumed me. this was until tonight when i found your channel. i binge watched every single video and loved every second of all of them. i can’t explain it but you gave me a push to better myself to try and change into a better person and realize that i deserve more than what i’ve been thinking. i can’t explain why i felt the need to tell you this, but thank you, you really are a life saver

Millions of people have watched this video and i thought it's only me who need this.....

“But you will heal” that hit me !

This video was so intimate yet so innocent at the same time. I love it. I just got out of a long term relationship but very happy with my decision.

I agree! I have decided to live my life for today. To look forward to whatever the future holds but not to get lost where you are today. Live each day with what you can do to make the most of it! Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is the future but you have right now is today so why not enjoy it and make the best of it! Thank you for sharing!

I love you miles, I needed this.

I've missed this type of content from Miles. He always helps me get out of a dark place. Hope to see more of you.❤

I always get back to this video when someone is falling out of love

I meant every love you that I told you. Every kiss we had was happy and lovely to me. I wish I could’ve seen you grow and blossom into the man you want to be. But I know how much damage I’ve done to you and you wouldn’t be happy with me, despite how much we both wanted that to happen. I cherish every single memory and I’m glad you were my first love. I’ll get that therapy I talked about all the time soon too, so don’t worry about me so much. If we ever cross paths again I hope we can both have a nice conversation or at least smile at each other while in passing. You are loved beyond words can explain. I miss you, but we’ll be better this way. I love you ❤️

It hurts even more when you fake your love for them only because you don't want them to cry but you are dying inside to hold on with them. Its the numb feeling. It's better to leave then to give them your void love... May be they deserve more... I don't know... But it feels good to move on......

Your content got me through my first heartbreak and I believe it will continue to get me through alot because it's never just about one thing (love) ...enough to choose from 😊😁

saw at 222K👍🏾 💫 In fear of hurting them, they hurt more. All because I hurt myself by staying.

He decided to leave and he's doin really fine 🙃

you will heal. you'll realize you can live without the one you think you couldn't live without.

It dose suck and hurt leaving someone you love, see I still love my ex and yes I had other relationships before her but there was just something about her I can’t seem to let go. She was my first love and always will be they say you never get over your first love so then why did she move on faster then me, she said she’ll always love me and I’ll always love her, we had a toxic relationship I hurt her badly said mean rude things to her told lies about her, but I know in time will be happy with are new loves or together again. Why is it so hard to move on and how can she forget me that quick two years together I know it meant so much to me cause I finally found someone who wanted to be with me, when I first met her she took away my pain and sadness away thoughts of me ending my lie away and what did I give her in return I hurt her treated her badly, but now I know it’s time to move on and be happy, I wish her the best in life and I hope she finds someone a lot better then me.

i need to get this out of my chest so here it is... i was in a relationship with someone at a very young age. i thought at that time i was making the right choices and i comitted to some permanent decisions and that wrecked me. it shattered me to pieces and every passing year of that 3-year relationship, i always had a reason to melt down. we were fighting for very different things while in the relationship and i guess that was why we didn't work. we grew really differently from each other. i tied myself to abundant and unchanging beliefs and he wanted to remain traditional and limited to only what he was taught and what worked correctly before. he cheated on me several times after we got into continuous fights. i wanted to go back to him and change the way i treated him. i wanted to say sorry and to be better for him cause 5 months before i was writing this, i felt like he was my true love. but he wasn't. he isn't. every month apart from him i realized that the things he had done to me drove me to ending my life. a lot of the traumas and mistrust i have now was caused by him. i thought it was normal to experience pain and maybe it was. but tolerating someone who is purposely hurting you will never be right. i deserved to be understood and to be loved. and i will never get that with that man i was with.

I had to come back to this video. Your words gave me the strength to be okay with my decision to leave over a year ago. I'm much happier with myself and my life now that I can finally be myself again. Thank you so much for reminding me of my worth.

I've physically left the person but unfortunately I'm emotionally still there ...deleted his number unfollowed him but doesn't feel like it changed anything.

Videos like these are reasons of these times frequent breakups!

this video really helped me with realizing i deserved better than what i was getting. i loved my ex, a lot, but he only wanted me when it benefited him. we only broke up four weeks ago but i can say i’m finally realizing just how unhappy i was. i tried creating this false reality of this loving boyfriend but no matter how much i tried i would still end every single night crying, wondering if he even loved me or just the s*x. yes i’m hurt, i loved him and he was my first everything. first love, first kiss, first boyfriend, first time. but i know i deserve someone who won’t go days without talking to me, speak poorly of me, or angry when i tried so much as talking to him. i’m sad, but i know i’ll be much better without him. time will heal things, i just know it

I never thought I'd be the one hurting another, I always was the one being hurt or that's at least how I felt it. I met a girl and it's been a relatively short time, I really like her but I wasn't sure of starting a relationship with her but I did, I decided to take the risk but still wasn't sure. Now I come to realize that I don't want to be in a relationship because I'm still healing from past one's, I can't give myself fully because I don't feel like doing so still, but damn, it hurts to hurt, it hurts to hurt someone, I don't want her to feel used, but I guess she's gonna feel it that way, damn if I could I would just disappear and not hurt anyone, but I guess this is how we learn, but it still hurts, hurts like hell. Btw, Thank you miles carter, you've helped me a lot

For a q&a or just a question in general : Do you believe in second chances after a breakup?

You’re very talented king, thank you for your words

My story is long with him, but I left him by choice I still miss him I won’t say I love him anymore but I won’t say I don’t love him, because I will always remember him as the person I need in that moment of my life, but things and people change.I know my worth and what I deserve, my advice to people try to fix a relationship that isn’t broken already. love yourself enough to walk away from anyone, when all they do is make you sad, even if you love them. I know it’s hard but if I can do it so can you.

as someone who has been dumped and dumped someone before, i have to say that both times are hard. When you are dumped, all you feel is grief and wanting to get back together with them. When you are the dumper, you feel grief, guilt, all sorts of emotions and that led to my mental health problems. When you realize that all the decisions are at you hands, and you still deeply care for that person, you would feel helpless but still have to make that decision of letting that person go. Because you know the problem and even if we still care for each other, right now isnt the right time and getting back together won't make things work. I think most youtube vids talks about the one being dumped, but being the dumper definitely feel worse. Sometimes I feel that Im too young to experience these at such a young age im almost 17 btw. but those experiences have definitely made me stronger I don't regret anything despite all the hard times

Don’t fall in love

I promised to her I wouldn't leave. But I wasn't in love anymore, I couldn't even handle myself. I needed and I still need to fix myself and my self love, so I can share it with the right person when the right time comes.

This is so true I’ve been dealing with a breakup recently we were both really good friends before we got together but she wanted to end it because she only sees me as a good friend and I’ve been dealing about moving on but it’s hard and weird after spending so much time with her to just nothing makes feel lost and what is said in the video is a hundred percent true I guess I’ve just got to give it time

THIS SOUND REMINDS ME OF IF I STAY

"You will find yourself lost in the world without them, but you will heal" 🤧🤧

That's Hit Me More ... Save Me Too ... Thanks A Lot

This video is on replay, every time I hear it, it speaks to my soul. It’s just perfect.

Im tired of crying, I just want him around thats it😭😭😭

Ok so this is a message for myself hopefully I won’t forget I commented this in few months or years. I left a toxic or draining situationship..and I know it may sound dumb but it was really hard because I loved him so much, it’s been a year or so and I’m still building myself up, gaining back the confidence I had and everything I had that left when I met him. I really enjoyed the months we used to be close and then it changed and we started being more distant and distant and I just had to end it cause I wasn’t feeling the same about him, I felt forced but I still had love for him so I still cared for him and still do to this day and I would’ve never wanted to hurt him or anyone but he made me feel so terrible about myself I had to go. I don’t wanna blame him but ...I mean anyways. I hope I get my whole self back and I’m definitely never taking him back because it will never be like it once used to be, good. I know people can change but him and me are just not made for each other it hurts badly at first then u get used to it and I still think of him everyday but it’s better like this than when we used to talk and I used to put so much effort in and he wouldn’t. I wish him the best and same for myself, I love you bye ♥️

Before leaving someone you should give them a closure...😌

May God mend all the broken hearts as if never broken, May God give all those folks a loving partner who stays till the end, Ameen. And I yearn for this. This is my heartfelt prayer.

You Tube algorithm is so good that it can sense me and predict which video is best suited.... Very scary

Yep, hurting so much rn. Drove across the country to move in with her. I know I make mistakes but I didn’t want to live In fear of hurting her and sacrificing my peace to make her happy. I know I’m a dumbass that was bound to make more mistake (not serious ones) but ain’t tryna live under a microscope. First girl I’ve ever loved though

This was recommended to me at the very right moment....

Today The person I considered the love of my life, left me...left what we built...but I am not afraid I am only hurt.

This video is so underrated

Yeah....it hurts so much to leave someone we love but i left him becoz i love myself more...i don't want to be with someone who don't respect me....losing self respect is more hurtful than losing him..

You can live without the one you thought you can't

i was watching this thinking of breaking up with my boyfriend but I couldn't imagine myself in a world without him and during the video he called me 🥺 I think this is a sign..

stay only when the love is mutual! How long will you scarifice your happiness for them ? Yes it might sound selfish but your self love should be greater than your desired to be loved back by someone. You're worthy of love! Don't beg ! leave them alone if they always question your existence in their life.They're not worthy of your love. Sometimes we need to let it go for our own growth & happiness. May be one day you will find someone who'll hold your hand and say " you're the best thing that could ever happened to me". You don't get the taste of a good wine until you've tasted a bad one".

being able to let sum1 be happy , even if its without you. letting someone go. let yourself b happy instead of suffering with someone else to make them happy .

I'm on sad part of my life but gosh man... Your words make me feel so relax... Thanks for sharing

Im the kind of person who would put me through all kind of pain and sacrifices to see them happy. Even if its hurting me or out of my comfort zone. Even after doing these.... its just never enough

I just got through a really bad breakup. I thought she was the one because of how well things went with her and I in the beginning and I was falling in love hard. She broke up with me in September out of the blue because she was stressed about school and family. I was in a huge hole that week because my family almost put my dog down so I was extremely depressed. We stayed friends and ended up getting back together and our love was magical again. I felt at peace and didn't think she would do it again but she did. She was cold to me the past couple days until I finally confronted her. She couldn't handle that our relationship was long distance and that we couldn't touch each other but she still loved me. I loved her with all my heart and it pains me to block her. Every ounce of me wants to unblock her and tell her something about my day or go back to being friends but I know that can't happen. It feels like my entire life is crumbling apart because of covid and everything else that's happened this year. Fuck.

It's not instant at all. . . But wow beautifully said.

"No experience is going to last forever."

This spoke to me in many ways

I just couldn't help it. We were in a long distance relationship and he wanted me to leave my best friend and never talk to him ever again. I just couldn't do that. We hadn't seen each other for a year and it would have been so cold and hard to go on without a best friend. I denied and so he broke up. He's too hurt and so am I. He thinks that I'll cheat on him with my best friend. I tried to fix it but everytime he tried to control me made it harder for me to love him. And now I miss him and I'm afraid to scroll down in my gallery and my texts. Everything reminds me of him. I really don't know if it's okay to let him go. So yes it hard to leave someone you love. I can't imagine a life without him

You seriously help me through some really bad feelings and doubts. Thank you!!

I left him yesterday and this video came up... it pains me and fills me with utter regret. But i know that he'll be better off without me.

Can’t believe this showed up on my recos right when I needed it.

watching this is the worst when you’re the one who got left behind- everything is doing fine until he decided to end it. he was the one who taught me how to be strong & hold on even if things got hard, the one who made a promise to stay is actually the one who left. funny thing is i don’t even know the whole “truth” on why he decided to leave. my gut sayin it’s abt a girl but you really be gettin blind when u love someone genuinely with your whole heart but the other just didn’t see its worth.

Most needed video for me. Today.

Not every Experience meant to last forever....true...

Gave me the chills

That was Beautiful and well profound it puts a lot into prospected. JOB WELL DONE YOUNG MAN.

i don't leave i let him free.he can do what he want.

thank you for giving me the strengh to leave. i really needed this.

gives me chills every time

This came to me at the best time. Thank you for sharing
