What makes this so much creepier is that I've recently listened to the whole Everywhere At The End Of Time project and it makes the music so much creepier along with the images and not being able to remember exactly where some are from

[@ifyoureaddisudumb]

Everywhere at the end of time gives me nightmares at the thought of forgetting who you are and everything you ever did know, your sanity slowly drops along with memories. dementia is a terrible thing, I really hate watching someone slowy lose their purpose and sanity. you become insane and isolated from everything, even your family, you forget all you've ever done and know. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

3:37 I'm not kidding, I think I've been there before. It was a dance competition, DEA (Dance Educators of America). The room where we get our costumes on and get ready to perform looks exactly like that. The carpet, walls, and that table in the middle of the room! Except the table was unfolded. Usually there would be chairs circling the room and the chairs had the same pattern as the wall on it, they were a little dirty and old looking. I had my first dance competition there, I got ready to perform in that exact same corner. Out those doors was the hallway, if you went a bit to the right, you'd see the doors leading to the auditorium/stage and across from that was the merch booth. If you go down the hallway there's the hotel bit with the elevators and snack place for when we had breaks, me and my friends were sat there eating Wendy's LOL. Sorry for all the info, just to prove that I know I've been there before.
