I'll admit this is a higher dosage of endorphins than those usual comfort videos. There are some videos that rival this one that exist to an extent. Though this is 100% quality goods. 11/10 if not a 20/10
Maybe it’s because we all know this voice and have memories that make it more meaningful. Or maybe it's because it feels kinda like a dad figure saying this...
made me wanna cry, i love the narrator. he's also the voice in my brain ive suddenly fit him in my head. and it makes me smile edit: fell asleep to him talking in my head just rambling until i snored.
This really helps me, and the last few sentences have real meaning to me. When i get depressed, i stay in my dark room and just get more and more sad. But is can also try and go upstairs to my family who love me, and are willing to spend time with me so i can feel better. Problem is, my legs don't really work properly and often really hurt whenever I try to walk. Especially when I'm going up the stairs. ( sorry if this is a bit of a rant, i just realized the similarities and thought it my help some people.)
A lot of times when I cry I feel worse afterwords, because I feel silly for having such intense emotions. But, the way this video made me cry was strangely therapeutic. When he said "someone somewhere is proud of you", it was the most affirming thing I've heard in a long time.
I come back to this video whenever I feel like just giving up and... dying. I'm glad Ive put this in a playlist I named "don't give up", it does help sometimes
[ Lyrics ] Ah, there you are. I was wondering where you had-- Oh. Oh dear. Are you alright? Your head is rather crowded today. Hmm.. Well there's not much I can do from here, I'm just a man in a recording booth after all.. However, I'm not at ease just leaving you like this.. No, no! No, it wouldn't do at all.. I'll help, but I'm only doing this *once* . So pay attention.. *You are loved.* What- What do you mean you 'don't think so'?! Of course you are! Why wouldn't you be? Your brain isn't telling the truth, you *are* loved. How do I know? Well-- Um- Well-- Let's move on.. Look! Here's another thought, People.. *Care* about you. I-- Unbelievable, YES REALLY. I can't help but feel it would take less energy to accept my words as they are, instead of-- Well it isn't exactly fair of me to ask you to just "be better".. Still, it seems obvious to me that you are deeply cared for. By who? Um-- The specifics don't matter, you just have to *trust me* .. I know it's hard to believe but you've got to try. .. Because I can see how much your current thought patterns are hurting you. And believe it or not, you *don't* deserve to be hurt like this. Why do I care? I don't, not at all..! I'm doing this for me.. If you're so occupied with self-hatred that you can't pay attention to me, who will listen to my majestic voice? This is for MY benefit, not yours.. [ He seems to sigh of disbelief here. ] Clearly you need some additional help. Perhaps a more.. *Direct* statement. Now listen closely, this is important. *You have a choice.* *Two paths.* *Diverged in a yellow wood.* Sound familiar? *One path leads down into darkness.* *Apathy.* *Anger.* *Hatred for self and others.* *The other is different.* *It's much harder to walk, but it IS much better for you.* [ Basically, he's saying it's hard to stop hating yourself, but it is possible and much better for you. ] These are the choices we make everyday, and every time you walk the better path, difficult though it may be. Someone, somewhere, is proud of you. I know I am. [ Sincerely yours, The Narrator ] - Kevan Brighting If you're dealing with bad, icky thoughts, please take his advice and try to change for the better. Take a break, get a sip of water, anything you believe would help you. Sometimes putting on a comfort character playlist helps me. You aren't alone. I was diagnosed with suicidal depression when I was 7, and I've spent my life in and out of it. I used to make myself bleed because it reminded me I was human, but that is not the wake-up I needed, nor what you should need. If you are feeling you need any help or assistance, please speak to a suicide hotline. I beg of you. If you think you're isolated and alone, I'm here for you. Even though I'm a random stranger on the internet, sure, I'll be here for you when you need it. Please give up on those empty thoughts, and look to the bright side. You found this comment, and you hopefully got what you needed out of it.
After having quite a crappy day today, this helped me a little, the video got on my recommended page at the right time, thanks RU-vid algorithm and thanks Kevan for your wise words :)
I really needed something like this thank you for this video existing and the va of the narrator and also RU-vid recommending me this video I feel better 😌
What if the depressed person is one of those ones where they don’t care if they’re loved because they don’t see the value in any physical or emotional endeavor?
Today was a better day than some, but it still was a bit tough. I've been having a hard time recently... and for the last 4 or so years. Funnily enough, I'm a teenager. Hearing someone reaffirming that I am loved, and that what I'm doing is worth it helps so much.
"Every time you walk the better path, difficult though it may be, someone, somewhere, is proud of you. "I know I am." Why do these words spoken by Kevan Brighting give me more genuine motivation to make my life better than anything I've ever heard before?
as someone who does experience,, per say auditory hallucinations the "your head seems quite crowded today" is a very true statement for me and this video has brought me so much comfort
This randomly showed up in my recommended. It's been a weird month. A weird year. A stressful, weird existence. Someone, somewhere, knew I needed this.
Okay. fine. Now I'm crying... I didn't even want that... thank you. It helped me a lot.💚I wish everyone else was okay. or at least you felt a little better, just like I did after this video.
Hey Narry, been having some really bad sleep problems recently, I've been suggested to take sleeping pills for it, but really, in my current state it's hard to really go to the doctor, wether for mental or physical problems, I'm going to see if I can get this stuff over the counter but I'm not sure if that's the case. I have been making steps towards contacting the right people but really, each step is harder than I expect it to be. I'm glad you're there tho. I might ramble a bit about my pereonal misery, but I don't ever want to understate the positive effect that you have had on my life. I hope life is going well for you, thanks for letting me get that off my chest, hopefully I can sleep now, at least a little. And get something good to eat, cooking has been impossible in my current state. There are of course, positives and negatives to every life. Ah. You can probably tell I'm sleep deprived because of the disjointed way I'm speaking. I still wish to support you despite some bad actors. I know everything between us will be for the better eventually.
I understand why “Stanley” is having trouble believing that he’s a good person. I mean, he DID lock himself in a broom closet in a random office building.
