MAYDAY [Vent Animatic/Animation]

[@phoenix117]

This really speaks to me, you want to be with your friends but you always are worried about bugging them and you end up in this forever loop of "should i? should I not?". I hope you feel better my friend, and just know life will figure itself out if you lead the way 😊

[@Riko-of7jk]

I think this depends on the type of vibe the friend gives. I have 2 friends whom I equally want to tp to but for 1 I will always tp to them without hesitation and another I’ll think twice and not tp. Reason being how they treat you once you tp to them. The first one is always welcoming and I’m never afraid to show them I want to play with them, regardless of the fact I just came came online and saw them 🌝 The second is more tricky - while we always have deep conversations, I can sense they want time away from others; not to mention their other friends who are always with them. In that sense, you can tell which friends are more comfortable for you to have you join them rather than the mere desire to play with them and like them. So follow your gut instincts when playing, I think it’s a good indicator to show which friends are good for you in the long run. After all, you can’t have genuine friendships if you’re too scared or not open enough with them. Good luck ;)

Why does this describe the feeling of wanting to be with others and craving attention but not wanting to bother them and be a nuisance so you suffer alone in this loop hole of wanting friends but not wanting to talk to anyone making you become more self depreciating over time? ...I'm gonna go eat a cookie now

[@chrissynoelle1648]

Sky is meant to be a game about friends and all, but I think the problem is that whether in a game or in real life, making friends is never simple and keeping them is even harder. And if you're a reserved person then you might as well be climbing a snowy mountain in bare feet. I don't know how many people I've met on sky where we had fun in Prairie lobby and friended each other, then they never even bothered to speak to me again. I'm not the kind of person who feels okay enough to try to force my way into someone's playtime, so it's always just me and myself in the end. I got fooled by the superficiality of Sky and remembered the struggle is everywhere in life, even in spaces that encourage friendship. Point being I relate to this too hard. Lovely animation, and I do hope you find a place you feel you belong.

[@CecieArt]

Yes. Even worse, when someone actually does try to find me and form a deeper relationship, for some reason, my stupid self starts to avoid them. Like, Cecie? You’re all alone and you have no one to blame but yourself.

To those people who doesn't warp to friends, even if you're very close to them, and tend to run solo, you are not alone. Sure it sounds depressing, but we're not here to judge, people have different ways in their choices, and to those who chose to be alone, I'm sure your friends will be happy to see you if you accidentally find them at home space in the same server.

Introvert here 👋🏻 I’m so glad I found close friends who understand my boundaries. We do runs together sometimes. But there are days I play by myself even when they’re online, then I join them later just to say hi before logging off. And they’re completely okay with it. The right people are out there. Don’t stop looking! 💕

[@JB-ew1mu]

Such a good way to keep in contact without being overbearing and respecting others' time/space, and it goes both ways. Just stopping in to say hi without wanting anything out of it is more genuine than "hi can i force myself into your cr"

This captures how suffocating sky sometimes feels. I know this is about friends, and I've made friends in sky but the majority have quit, or just, don't play with me anymore. (I actually had a friend who I played with almost every day for a few months. I took a break from sky and then saw a notification that she was online, so I got on, and she just completely ignored me ;( it sucked) But this feels like how draining sky can be, and how even though its a game sometimes it feels like there's a pressure to go candle farming every single day or you won't get the good cosmetics :( im so sad that I took such a long break from sky because I won't get the cosmetics for season of flight, and it sucks. but candle running every day was so exhausting :/ ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL art and animation btw, it looks AMAZING

[@paulac7165]

Honestly, this video is literally why I stopped playing sky. All my friends started to left, and they stopped to talk to me slowly. I started to feel so insecure about joining ANYONE. I also noticed that they started to make new friends and when I tp to them, they were always busy with other friends, and I felt like if I was a bother to them. Sky didn't felt the same, and it never will, for me. I literally logged everyday, to farm alone, or just watch the beautiful place of the game, but the loneliness was so bad. I had a lot of wonderful moments that I shared with friends in sky, but everything has to come to an end, and after one year, I'll finally say goodbye. Sky was amazing, I don't regret playing. However, this videos is beautiful, it hits very deep I SWEAR. You did such a good job, the animation is also really good and smooth. Sending a lot of love and support!

[@oxymoronic717]

I get that Sky’s supposed to be a social game, but the social aspect is just so… difficult? Like I never feel comfortable tping to other people bc I never want to interrupt them. The one person who would tp to me only spoke Russian, and after a while they just stopped visiting me. I really can’t blame them though, since I never made an effort to start interactions with them bc I was too anxious.

[@Djdjdjmk]

I speak Russian, but I'm really scared to make a mistake in chat so I just watch others playing too scared to approach and have an actual talk.

When you decide to join your friend after hesitating and when it says 'your friend is in a place where you can not join' dont u feel so frustrated

[@ExplorerValenis]

I have intense social anxiety and am a very sensitive person in general, so making friends feels like a big risk. Im always paranoid that I’ll overstep or be “weird” and make someone uncomfortable. I’ve started to gain some courage though and in the end it’s better to try and fail then to not try at all! It’s okay to make mistakes because it’s part of being human, and as long as you try your best it’ll get easier with practice!

[@chinbit.648]

Ngl I feel this on a very personal level, but keep your head up! Everything will be okay in the end ☺️✨

[@soren7129]

I relate to this so much. It's like wherever I look everyone seems to have a group of friends they can goof around with or chat with and I just don't know how they do it. I've always had a hard time with making new friends, nonetheless keeping friendships. So I though maybe I'd have it easier in Sky. (I swear I'm not a total loner in real life.) I've made some friends in Sky (Whom I've talked to,) but it's always a battle with myself whether I think I'm bothering the other party or have the energy to talk. Sometimes I get scared I'll say something that doesn't make sense or that I won't understand something the other person says. Heck, half of the friends I mentioned were introduced to me by someone else and the other half either doesn't play or we rarely see each other. What I'm trying to say here is, I'm really glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'll probably still have trouble communicating even after this but it's always good to know that metaphorically I'm not alone.

[@aislamientoo]

i started crying while reading this comment because it’s completely what i’d say and how i feel rn… seems like everyone’s already “taken” and has bfs or a whole group to play with. but i’m always alone eventually. i’ve lost my close friend after she stopped playing sky, then another one..i don’t want to relive it again. but at the same time i long for social interaction..ik it’s weird to reply after 1 year but your words touched my heart. hope you feel better tho

[@soren7129]

⁠@@aislamientoo wasn’t expecting to see this in my notifications but I’m glad my comment resonated with you. i haven’t had as much free time as i used to so i don’t play sky as much as i used to but i still definitely feel the fear of making connections with someone new whether it be in video games or in real life. i’m not sure if it has gotten better or worse since my original comment but i think it has at least stopped bothering me as much. i understand the urge to create connections with people but just never knowing how, though i think something that has helped me just a little bit was to go at my own pace. take breaks if you need to, social interactions can be draining or they are for me at least, just don’t force yourself to talk if you aren’t feeling it mentally. it may do more harm than good if you force yourself to upkeep social interactions you aren’t really feeling up for. and, if you feel like you’re bothering someone by talking them just know that you aren’t a burden. you deserve to be happy and if the other party doesn’t think you’re worth their time then they don’t deserve you. or if you feel insecure about something in your friendship i suggest talking it out with them. i’ve been childhood friends with two people for basically my entire life and there have been some times where i’ve thought i didn’t deserve to stand next to them or that they would be better off without me and hiding my insecurities have really only done me more harm than good. something i’ve learned is that communication is key to having a good relationship with someone and overall it’s just good to get something off your chest. if they’re a good friend they’ll listen and try their best to understand. that way you can come up with a solution together rather than handling it on your own. anyway, i’m not really sure where i’m going with this. i hope this was the advice you were looking for or that it at least did something to help. i’m not the best with words so maybe some things could be worded better and all of this may sound extremely weird coming from a stranger on the internet but i really do hope that you will find that that there are a bunch of people who are willing to listen and give you the friendship you deserve. maybe you haven’t found them yet and i can’t guarantee how long it will take but everyone deserves the chance to make deep connections with people.

I gotta be honest, I'm the kind of person who enjoys playing alone because Sky is my first experience with a multiplayer online game, and I have a deep distrust of people I don't know (had some bad experiences). I can definitely feel for you though, especially if it's somebody you put a lot of effort into getting to know or someone you know in real life.

[@abigailher9386]

I can totally relate to this. When some of my friends are online, I want to warp to them. But there’s something at the back of my mind telling me “maybe you shouldn’t warp to them” or “you’re just going to bother them/be a burden.” It’s such a weird feeling. I should probably warp to them just to say hi or see how they’re doing. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. I used to have one friend that would warp to me just to say hi. But I think she left Sky. I miss her.

[@kaedesghost3123]

As someone who randomly pops in on friends to say hi and honk the server sideways, I should probably do this more often. Ive met way too many strange people who only take my friendship and heart and rip it to shreds and make me forget humanity exists but also want to find and punch them to unconsciousness, I know. Also don't feel bad about expressing urself. Even if u cringe looking back, it's still called living. Don't feel like u have to apologise, for being yourself.

[@littlebehr5526]

This is so beautiful and captures the sadder side of Sky perfectly. I have a friend on Sky from across the world and he had to leave for military training that would take two years, and I haven't heard from him since. We met near when I started playing Sky (at the start of the pandemic, and I was crushingly lonely and isolated) and his kindness cheered me up so many times when I had such little human contact. I've played a lot less since he isn't around as much, because he was one of the only people I met on there that would do candle runs with me and we'd talk about ourselves and how life was going and such. I needed that so much. Every time I see fan content of Sky or think about the game, I think of the hours we played together and the lovely memories we made :') I really hope he's doing well. It feels really lonely to play now that he isn't around.. Kinda sad to log in and not see any of my friends around anymore.. but I am doing a lot better irl now, so I guess you give and you take

[@audreygeorge4642]

This is why I friend moths, they always seem happy to see me. Probably because I can show them where winged light and spirits are. But at least I know I’m not being a nuisance.

[@luci224]

I understood this very personally. Even when I was little, I struggled to fit in and make friends. Sky definitely makes it a little bit easier, but often times I get too nervous to warp to people even after we've become good friends. Even some of my closest friends I won't warp to. I worry they don't want to see me, or I will be interrupting something they are doing. So often times, I'll say how I don't mind being warped to by others, that they are free to join me on my adventures. But the issue with that is I struggle to talk and bring up good conversation at times (unless we are very close), so it'll end up being awkward silence with the other person. So I get it. I do. And from someone who struggles to socialize to the next, here's a big hug! It will get better ❤️

[@reikagene5971]

First off, love your animation, second, I've been feeling like this all week. While there's a person whom we connected straight away, I never seem to catch them back on again, and I send them hearts everyday, so I know when they have been on or not. I even played the entire day today mainly just to wait for them. They never came. So now I've just been feeling jealous, whenever I see a room or space filled with pairs or triplets or even quadruplets. Whenever I see that one of my other friends is online, I'm tempted to press that yes button, but then I think to myself "I'll probably be seen as annoying, I probably shouldn't. I'm not that creative to see what I would even do with them either." So I'll end up just trying to give myself little random goals, "find all the wings", "find all the extra spirits in this location", "try and dodge a krill". If that ends up loosing my attention, I'll try and find a very dark and/or hidden area and just sit there, and if someone finds me, I'll throw up some confetti to congratulate them on thinking outside the box. But then I end up not being found for the longest time. It's hard to make friends and keep them, I'm pretty reserved and insecure myself, so it's hard. I try to play the game anyway, and even spend almost all my extra money on trying to get new items and clothes from the current season. I should go eat some pizza-

is sad how sky is a social game and you like it but slowly becomes less fun because you dont have who to play with, is more fun to play with friends, specially people who likes attention or just socializing i always want to play with people but my social anxiety dont let me so i always play alone and now i just do the missions and leave because im starting to find it less fun than before and is sad tbh i really love sky

[@inaxwx]

i understand this very much. i've been playing since 2019, yet i'm still a solo player. seeing as to how other players play together and do candle runds together is extremely painful, how come that's not as simple for me? 😭😂 but forreal though your art and animation is fantastic 🙌🏻✨

[@Jame-ith]

I heavily relate to this, I had several friends on sky, but I felt like I was asking to many favors and I panicked, in the end I stopped talking to most of them. And the ones that I told how I felt drifted to other games, and I never really got to talk with them again, this constant cycle of wondering is so frustrating and makes it hard for me to get close with anyone.

[@ko_koro558]

I feel like a lot of the people feel this way, is because there's always that one person that stalks on you. Both in virtual and in the real life. And we most likely felt uncomfortable from that when it became excessive and that's why we tend to preserve our actions so we don't do the same mistakes to your friends.

i’ve been playing for 3 years and it’s kinda sad that with each year, with each month social experience in sky becomes more and more depressing. with each lost friend, especially close ones a hope to find anyone fades…it shouldn’t be necessary a group of people but at least one person who i’d always could tp not worrying to bother them or not to be embarrassed to say something wrong…and now, after 3 years and a month i feel lonelier than ever

[@Kai-dl3du]

This hit way to close to home thanks to the experiences I've had on sky. I've managed to accidentally push the majority of my friends away because I've been offline so much after dealing with a toxic friend that ruined my ability to appreciate the game. They've moved on or just don't speak to me anymore. Sure it's nice when the really close ones get on, but that's rare when we actually get to talk, so half the time it just feels empty in sky since I'm too afraid to join others or interfere with people, especially as an introvert. Aka I relate and this animation is gorgeous. Idk why I'm not subscribed yet, take my subscription you deserve it.

[@teaMalista]

I actually really feel that. Like... I'm not a social butterfly soo... I have my struggle with... meeting people. (In real life and in game, lol) So I'm always awkward in the beginning, when someone unlocks the chat with me, lol. At least I feel awkward. And I always say to the person "I'm pretty shy, so please don't mind me being awkward." And luckily... all of them are nice and understanding. BUT I have to admit, that I found small amount of people, that I'm comfortable with! They kept visiting me, saying "hi" before logging off and sometimes doing candle run with me! Of course they are sometimes with other people, but they still invite me to join with open arms! Now I sometimes join them, I love talking to them, having fun and stuff. And it's actually thanks to them, that I'm trying to be more social there. I don't force myself to interact with people there, of course. But I got a bit (only a tiny bit) better with the social stuff there, lol.

That animation of the glass shattering is amazing, the transitions are all so fluid!

[@naschka]

aw, i relate to this so much. i got back on sky recently and starting to join strangers in doing the seasonal quests, made friends, but i get so anxious of leaving them bec they might leave me alone again the next day :') awesome animatic tho,, nd i hope all of us here find friends that won't forget us

[@svoract]

this hits too close to home 😔 i met someone in wasteland and we bonded there, searching for winged lights together and trying our best to avoid krills. we both parted ways when we reached the temple, after a few weeks of exchanging lights i found out that she blocked me bc she stopped responding but i can still see that her sky kid change cosmetics every now and then. i still don't have the courage to remove her from my constellation :")

[@Wormzanratz]

Finding this at the exact moment I'm crying about not feeling good enough to join my friends 🫡

[@AnGLerRA]

I love this game it makes me like flying the sky freely. But somtimes it feels like im alone too. I think this is great explanation of while I feel playing this game!I love it

[@luminescentstar475]

It's always you who comes after them but no one's ever coming after you Makes me think I'm a clingy friend that they wanted to avoid now I avoid being like that so I stay away

[@lintang790]

*hugs* Me too

[@apers0n880]

This is what I feel like a lot when joining friends. I always worry about if they even want me with them.

[@Tanz-rt5co]

I feel this on so much levels, I left sky and all of my friends. But just keep in mind there is always someone who will be there for you!! And it's okay to cry sometimes.

[@skytsadi6207]

this gets to me a lot since my friends always seem to be ignoring me, they barely talk to me anymore. but i do try. it takes them 2 minutes to realize i’m trying to hug them, and the same thing with chatting back to me. im sorry 💔

[@justanormalgamer.3015]

Same here sometimes. I have bunch of friends but I choosed only one to share my memory. But dont worry YOU & ALL will get a FRIEND MATE! 💕

[@weird_art_kid]

I can honestly relate to this a lot, I’m always afraid to bug my friends and sometimes when I text them they don’t always respond to me. I feel I weird people out in general. I hope you’re feeling better now!

[@MistCloud.]

"But nobody came." frisk noo noT THIS GAME-

[@zephyr12345]

I once had this amazing friend in sky, we would play together all the time, i helped them out with the season, they helped me get to the eye of eden. Every time we saw each other we would say hi and end up playing together for around an hour. Then one day they just didn’t show up. I still remember them to this day. If they’re seeing this, I miss playing with them and hope to see them again someday.

[@kayrahayretint_t9840]

The worst feeling is about that you met your friend and then they started to be nice and funny and kind in the game , after weeks later they started begin weird, toxic not kind, and the worst part is that you blocked them and you will never see them cause how good days did you spend time with them when they aren't toxic before :/.... Also the animation is amazing and smooth you deserve a talented I swear !!!!!

[@abigailher9386]

I can definitely confirmed this. Had a moth friend that was kind in the beginning. But then when they saw me with my other Sky friends, they got jealous. They did a whole personality flip on me or whatever it is. Then I had to block them.

[@kayrahayretint_t9840]

@@abigailher9386 Man that really happend to me too you're not the only one I mean jealousy is actually bad and plus if jealousy doesn't exist everything will be fine everyone wil bel nice and respectful plus I'm sorry what just happened there's so many jealous sky kids in the game :/ ....

[@abigailher9386]

@@kayrahayretint_t9840 Thanks, I’m doing okay right now. I just have some trust issues when ever I make a new Sky friend. I always question myself if their going to get jealous or get obsess with me. But there so many wonderful players out there, I need to find them.

I hope things get better for you, and your animation is very smooth.

[@Bummymeesh]

AAAAA I always thought I was silly for getting SO emotional and feeling actual grief over growing distant from Sky friends :,) I have a beautiful friend who goes by Suki that told me she’d probably stop playing after this season, and I started to distance myself because I don’t wanna go through the pain over losing my first good Sky friend 🥲 but recently I’ve been thinking about how I’ll regret it so I’ve been doing that less and trying to get on more when she’s on (time zones aaaa)

[@rkm6510]

ok i just found your channel and have enjoyed literally every single video so far, your content's incredibly entertaining and enjoyable, and your animation is stunning! this has got to be one of my favourites, and feels like a really good depiction of the anxiety that can come from a simple thing like joining a friend. it becomes so easy to just end up alone, doing candle runs, or just flying aimlessly around, just to end up back home staring at your friends list with no one online. i love the emphasis sky puts on cooperation, communication and friendship, but it also means that the game feels so much lonelier when no one's around. but there's always the hope that you'll meet a life long friend, and for now, that and the beauty of sky as a game keeps me playing. and hey, if you're ever in need of a friend, i'm always happy to add anyone on sky that needs a pal to hang out with, because god knows i need one too. hope things get better for you from here, and that you keep up the amazing work!

[@blazingbella08]

this is so cool! i love all the animation so much!

[@avaliestc]

I feel that, thats the reason i quitted. I used to play sky with my best friend. But we had a fight and choose to stay away from each other path. I was feeling lonely, very lonely. Desperate for attention. Made some many friends, trying to get close to them. But i cant even join them when their online, im scared of getting ignored, and just like a background character. I was just hoping somebody will talk to me, will join me. Theres nothing i do except for cr-ing in sky, after 2 months. I quitted, im tired and its getting boring,, But keep your heads up!! Im supporting you

[@feitanisbae]

Aaa bcus i feel this so much. You see your friend online but you don't know if they're with other friends or nah and then you're stsnding there looking at your constellation stuck in a dilemma whether to join them or not. Bcuz ive never had anyone join me just to play with me, so in the end you're always alone and you have do your usual cr routine by yourself. p.s yk what, to all the ppl here lets ALL be friends instead WE'RE GONNA BE A GANG TOGETHER

[@LellyCoraxon]

The urge to open the game and find you to give you a big hug and drag you around is IMMENSE - HUGE - GINORMOUS!!! Come to grandma!! (the last video made me think I want to be adopted by you - now I feel like I should adopt you instead!) I feel this and I can relate to several of the comments here. I sometimes even "join" friends but then chicken out if I have to look for them or see them already from afar in a group of friends that idk - and then I just go home and (probably) do cr in isle of dawn... These moments feel too much like real life and I don't play sky to feel like shit..... Thank you for your wonderful videos - funny and/or sad! I love them a lot! Keep up the great work! 💖

[@cadenceho6499]

Oh no my friends going bald LMAo guys turn on the captions. Besides that though, I love this song and I'm glad you chose it for this animatic. It really made me feel the feels. I think all of us had our good times in sky but then the painful moments too. Thank you for illustrating that.

[@Astrelynx]

First off, this animation was absolutely incredible, it’s so SMOOTH and detailed! Especially at the end… Secondly, are you ok? Would you like to vent or just a hug? 🫂 I hope things get better for you soon ❤️‍🩹

[@cadenceho6499]

Yeah are u doing alright? I hope you are, and I hope you all are skykids out there. Here's a hug if you'd like one!! Your art is amazing btw~~

well this is relatable. i stopped playing because i drifted away from all my friends. we barely even talk anymore and i miss them so much

[@morph.474]

WHAT THE SAME HUGE goosebumps went through me, AUTHOR, GOOD FELLOW

[@obsidian.heartz]

the part at 1:00 with the drop and the smooth transitions is v good! also what a big mood!

[@Hey_Itz_Ace]

Honestly, I don’t mind being alone in Sky but to see so many other players having friends with them constantly and just hanging with eachother is mind blowing to me when I struggle to form a friendship like that in Sky with anyone. It can be very lonely in Sky because of the fact that no one, not even my current friends in Sky will form that sort of friendship with me and it kinda sucks so that’s why I often always do solo. There was also this one time I tp to a friend and they just kept leaving or tping somewhere else everytime I did that so now I’m just not gonna do that for anyone :/ (edit: i quit playing sky awhile after)

[@aislamientoo]

yess exactly! i love being alone too but seeing that literally everyone has bestie in sky or a friend group makes me think that it’s something wrong with me🥴

[@Annartforms]

This is my fave so far🥰 the emotions floods from the screen

[@panchit_]

you ever get that feeling that they're your friends but then....they treat you like you're invisible? and you start feeling they leave you out?

[@29_firdausayanuar88]

Happened to me. It is not a good experience really. But what else can we do? Maybe they have some problem or just doesn't want to talk to us. At the very least, i just try to think positively about it(of course with sitting in the bonfire in the middle of hidden forest listening to the rain alone)

[@snowflakeserpert6834]

Oh dear, please stay safe. Remember, everything'll end up alright soon :) Just gotta keep a little hope, it's gotten us this far

[@_acis_arts_]

Aa I'm sure we all were in this position once, wanting to join someone but deciding not to because we think they don't want us to be around. Well, I can only say just do it. Just doing it helped me getting closer to some people and I personally love when people join me. If there's someone who doesn't want you to be around then that's not a good friend and you don't need friends like that

[@big-t-shirts]

Yeah I can relate to this. Making and keeping friends with hard. It's like, I want to hang out with people and make friends and stuff but I also don't want to bother people and barge into whatever they're doing. So I don't and then I lose contact and it's awkward.

[@beansforsalewahoo]

I hope you're doing better, also the bald joke and the cry meme made my day a little better

[@Fierce_Deity_Rea]

I keep watching this over and over again, and I’m inspired to animate something sky related that I know I never will get around to do. Seriously though this is amazing, and I completely understand the feeling of wanting to be around people but you don’t want to bother them or be annoying!

[@CantaloupeSlaaayyy]

I never knew that the way I felt (insecure to join friends, lonely, not valuable) was something I wasn't alone in. I wish I could find more of those players in sky. I hope to be that person to rely on for others

[@Ickemms]

TheFatRat has actually confirmed in a QnA (via discord) that Mayday is about depression and the helplessness it brings (it might be obvious, but I thought that was cool). Great animatic!

[@CecieArt]

Oooh cool!

[@Mxnal.]

i thought i was the only one embarrassed to join my friends, even if i really like them i feel scared to join them since it seems like i’m attached to them or i’m bugging them, my worst fear is if their with another one if their friends 😫 thanks for making this what makes everything worse is that i’m always waiting for them to be online and i get disappointed when no one is online once i come home, the feeling of over joy i get when someone is online (ESPECIALLY my closest friend that i’ve only played with 3 times 😂) is so bad when i realise i once again can’t get the courage to join them 🫡

[@nikicherry1234]

this is still one of the most relatable things. not just to Sky, but overall.

[@clowicous]

I love this! One moth is forever joining me wherever I am and twice got hit by a krill coming into wasteland to me I’m like GIRL I CAN SEE YOU JUST WAIT FOR ME 🤣 but I keep telling her, don’t stop, I love when you randomly visit me! She’s so cute, no kind of shame haha!

[@muffinszss]

wow. this was absolutely beautiful. the animations in the last part was stunning.

[@harishkumari1700]

i have one or two friend whom i can join any time ❤️ or mostly i join any friend when I don't have anything to do so i just went there and hold their hand and see them what they are trying to do it's calming for me and for them too. 😹😹 i think so...i just want to tell don't think much into it and if u want to think ...think about positive aspect of it like what if they are lonely and wanted someone and u take up courage and fullfill their wish 💖💖 just be positive
