I’m 23, and for all you teens out there, I have one piece of advice. When you go somewhere for a few days that you know is gonna be one of the best things you’ll do for a while, (for example, for me, it was a school football tour with my mates, and a trip to Germany with my best friends), listen to 4 or 5 songs only, whenever you have the time in that trip. They don’t have to be songs that u love, and u can do other things while you’re listening. What that did for me was, whenever I listened to those songs in the future, I had such nostalgia. Please, just try it.

You know I’m really glad I found this video. Because every so often I just get nostalgic about the first month after I was born I can remember everything from back then. I lived in my aunts house while my mom went training for something with EHR or something. I remember playing connect four in the kitchen of my aunts house. Eating the wax fruits thinking that they were actually edible. Playing with the light bright in the hallway but best of all snack wise, eating a honeycomb cereal straight from the box. Playing with the ceiling fans and the pump organ. (which I have in my house now). Boy I could just go on and on and on and on about this but my little fingers can only type so much. When I got that old pump organ back all those memories are flooding in and there was a song that kind of started to represent that it’s called the chill piano guy is ambient by MK and the song abruptly ends just like those memories in my aunts house she no longer lives there anymore so I’m really sad about that. Before we continue if you’re reading all of this you’ve got a great reading skills! And I’ve got great typing skills. Anyways, just like the memories ending seemingly abrupt. That song ends abruptly. I really get really sad about it sometimes because things were crazy after I was born and when I was in that house the first time I ever felt at peace. I’m kind of starting to tear up a little bit. But of course you can’t hear me through this. thank you for your time. 😢 ❤ also please consider subscribing to my KZbin channel actually posted a couple videos about that organ I talked about.
