I can just picture a movie already it's such an amazing story and metaphor. Someone who knows how to write screenplays needs to get in touch with Heather and draft something. The world needs this story.
So. Many. Tears. Couldn't even tell you why- amazing story, Heather! I can't wait for the book to come out- I'm a youth services librarian and I'll have to get two: one for me and one for the library. :)
I think the world and the girl that lives in it represents the escapes we use to get away from responsibility. Breaking "walls" represents all the responsibilities we have as adults. Which explains why he can't stay in the other world forever, he always has to come back to his responsibilities, and ignoring them leads to even bigger walls to deal with
I love love looooove this story! I like how you tell the story between one person who fixes things that aren't like he wants them to be (breaks walls) and another person who doesn't want any change in her life (being like a rock) and how the two persons find compromise and work together so that in the end of course they aren't the same as in the beginning but happier
Yeah and I cried at the end, it made me think of how I have spent so much of my life trying to manipulate ( break walls) and how I should be creating new windows of perspective to help people.
Oh my god... Is this symbolism for the internet? The real world with walls you can tackle and break, but when you're looking through the window they're invisible. When you're through the window you're just your mind, so you leave the body behind. Ally enjoyed listening to the stories of the flowers much like someone new to the internet finds it amazing the people they an talk to. But of course ally still has real world jobs, so his body pulls him back... Am I crazy or does it all fit too well :oI may be going on a bit of a stretch here, but is the ocean some kind of addiction? His _Body_ calls him even if he doesn't want to go, but he feels like the internet (or window world) is a place of refuge. Following the idea then he two mountains are two countries, and the rain is the terrible internet connection haha Am I just being silly seeing all of this? I wish I could ask Heather x.x
Hi friends! Someone made a song inspired by this story, and I wanted to share it with you all soundcloud.com/makoto-phoenix/makoto-phoenix-shore-demo If you have any art, music, or anything you created that was inspired by this story, please don't hesitate to share it with me. It means the world to me, and inspires me in turn.
Dude I've seen this story so many times… it never ceases to bring me to tears. Thank God you're publishing and thank you for creating a modern fairytale worthy of that name
@@IhaytFukkingsocialmediashe was going to publish this one and she even got art commissioned for it! not sure what happened and i don’t think we’ll ever know :(
great STORY. Great storytelling as well. Took me back 50 years or so to a mat on a classroom floor in a kindergarten class. Those storytelling sessions were the highlight of my day and brought waves of tingling, warmth and belonging.
Thank you for letting me share with you, and I am so glad you liked it. This video was special to me, so I am delighted you saw some of the deeper parts in it.
Heather, this story literally brought tears to my eyes! You just have the PERFECT voice for this kind of thing! I even added this video to my bookmarks so I can find it easily and watch it over and over! The story itself was just so cute, and I cannot wait to tell it to my little cousins and see what they think too! They're going to love it! Thank you so much for what you do. You're one of my favorite ASMRers! Keep up the good work XO
:'D This is the best story I've ever heard in my entire life! This is like going to bed with shoes on with no struggling! I fell asleep last night with shoes on. I didn't struggle one bit!
This story made me cry. I've been watching you for a long time now and this is probably the best thing you have ever produced.. I had to go back this morning to watch the end of the story because I couldn't keep myself awake last night to finish. I can't wait to watch it again. Please please please do more.
I am so happy I get to share this video with my children now. They would not calm down for bed tonight and I thought to pull this up... They watch completely enraptured and fell asleep during the story. It's so creative and beautifully told. Truly a work of great art.
Heather, I started this video with skepticism. admittedly, I thought it was... Well, silly, at first. "There's no way this story is as good as everyone says it is," I reasoned. Also, it should be noted that I'm NOT a crier... Now I'm sitting here in my room, crying. Literally weeping. This story is beautiful and so deeply relatable to me. Thank you. Thank you so much. You have such a gift.
I’ve listened to your videos for years now, even when I forget about ASMR for a while I always find my way back to your channel. Somehow this is the first time I’m hearing this story, and it’s beautiful. I can tell from the comments that many people appreciate this story and its meanings. Thank you for sharing, it was a pleasure
i can not tell you how much this video tuged at my hart strings. this was a amazing video and Story about You. Thank You for helping thoughts who could not help them selfs or who was afraid to. I was bullyed in high school as a teenager. But this one guy who became a very good and dear friend. all ways looked after me all though high school. but in 2001 i lost my friend. but again Heather thank you.
Wow, this is SO beautiful!!!😍😍😍 I'm so excited that it's being turned into a children's book, & I agree with all of the people that hope it becomes a movie some day!!!
I've been subscribed to your channel for four years now(I'm 16), and this is by far is my favourite video. You should make more videos like this Heather!!((:
I'm a 28 year old man who has seen and been through some of the roughest stuff our society has to throw at people, and it has been life long. I literally don't feel ANYTHING but my own mix of fear and anger anymore, and YET I'm here to tell you that parts of this made me cry just by the beauty of the metaphors alone!
Your voice is so soft! And it helped me sleep last night. I took a nap for 5 hours. And when I woke up, it was midnight. It helped me accomplish my mission! Mission: Staying Awake All Night.
Not only this ASMR was original but you go the extra mile with your videos. Even if you enjoy doing what you do, this obviously takes time, patience and dedication, and seemingly quite a lot of editing. People like you that like should be rewarded somehow. You and Maria are by far my favorite ASMRists, but you really earned my appreciation this time. Thanks very much. Keep up the good work!
So beautifully and naturally explained, such a good story and so many draws and emotions to accompany it. I am completely sure I'm not the only one who enjoyed every single second of this video. Thank you very much for this Heather =)
This sounds like this story could be made into an adventure game where there is a narrator (heather) that tells the story as the character goes through different parts. The biggest part of the game play could be different puzzles Ali has to get through and it could he a beautiful game kinda like journey mixed with narration.
wow this story touched my heart in so many different ways. I've been missing my dad lately who passed away 4 years ago and this video brought extraordinary comfort and peace. I watched this hoping to fall asleep later but I never though I would get so much more. Normally I wouldn't like a video that didn't help me relax but I think I will sleep better tonight anyway.
Woah, such a good story I cried! I feel like this is a story that can be interpreted on many different levels. It's so well done. Does anyone know the greater meaning behind this?
I absolutely love the idea of asmr story time. It reminds me of listening to my parents read me books before I'd go to sleep. Definitely a favorite video of yours!
I was so scared one of them was going to die! I was so emotional listening to this. Also, does anyone else ship/pair Scary and Ali together? Maybe the ship name would be Scali?
I just found a link to this video. I haven't seen this video in so many years. I miss Heather so much. It's weird to think that this video only has 200,000-300,000 views, because it's so good.
I am glad the crickets don't bother you. In real life, they don't sound that loud to me, but the mic loooooves them. It's so sensitive, it's pretty incredible.
Its hard to believe I just got pretty emotional over two stick people. Beautiful story. Heather, You have the voice of an angel. I honestly believe you could read to me out of the phone book and I would be in heaven. Please make more of these stories. Pretty please. :)
