[@CONTRACTOR_SG3]

Man this make me wanna cry 😭 y'all remember those public service announcement bumps with the 1978/80 vibes. AS deadass used to get random footage of some deep back road village from some foreign country then play some dank ass old school hip hop instrumental on loop and then would put there logo in the background and we would just vibe 😂

And now we all want to be kids again. I remember when I was younger I thought life wasn’t that hard but boy was I wrong. Not only that but in 3rd grade when I moved schools I was bullied by 2 classmates. In 4th grade was kinda tough and slowly developed anxiety and in 5th symptoms of depression. Last year I was diagnosed with chronic depression. I miss those days when I was still somewhat happy and I would try not to be depressed. But time to move on I guess.

[@shrimplypiper]

i don't

[@NehemiahBrown1]

I found you at the window again Looking out, watching the leaves falling in And it was something like a dream Wow so perfect, couldn't talk to me Time moves slow When you're all alone And the time moves slow When you're out on your own And the time moves slow When you're missing a friend And the time moves slow When you came to the end Running away is easy It's the leaving that's hard Running away is easy Running away is easy It's the living that's hard And loving you was easy It was you leaving that scarred But what was I to do? Just couldn't help myself falling in love with you And what could I say? Oh, if I had another chance To make you stay 'Cause when you ran away I knew just what you were thinking that day You just didn't love me like I do Like I love you The sad thing is we're better off this way Time moves slow When you can't have a thing Time moves slow When you're lost in the dream Time moves slow When you wait by the phone And the time moves slow When you're all alone To run away is easy It's the leaving that's hard Running away is easy Running away is easy It's the living that's hard And loving you was easy It was you leaving that scarred Cause when you're so alone Time moves slow When you're so alone Time moves slow When you're so alone Time moves slow Time moves slow

I remember watching [Adult Swim] as far as like 10 years old watching many shows like Robot Chicken, King of the Hill, Bob’s Burgers, Samurai Jack, etc. being oblivious of some of the jokes and the deep meanings some of these shows had. But one thing that did make me feel euphoric about were the ad bumps from [as]. It really hits different now all of this now as an adult…

[@User-rz7de]

Pov you: -You stopped worrying about things that are not in your control. -You stopped suffering from imagine troubles. -You realized nobody really cares and nothing really matters from the first place. -You started appreciating no matter who you are now because you will never be enough. -You realized this world is an endless opportunities and there's enough for everybody. -You started comparing with who you were yesterday not who someone else is today. -You are grateful because you have everything you need. -It doesn't matter what others are doing. -You don't need to be anxious on people around you, the ones will stay, will stay. -No one will matters in 5 years except yourself. -You stopped seeking external validation. -You have the power to change your reality. -Stopped making excuses and actually do it. -You are in no obligation to satisfy everybody. -Perfection is just insecurity in disguise. -Jealousy is an affirmation of something that you don't have. -It's okay to be a fool for 5 minutes to learn something. -You stopped thinking about your mistakes.
