- Welcome traveller. You have reached the checkpoint of the internet.
This is an age-old story beginning with taia777 in 2012, where people from all walks of life would comment about how their life is going. In 2020 that original video was removed. In that video's honour, I have kept both the original title and video, as we have all found the video recommended to us seemingly from nowhere, with a Japanese title and low-graphics thumbnail. Yet, out of curiosity, we elect to watch it and find a beautiful community of commenters

8/19/23 we have come so far havent we?
Funny how such a beautiful and calming song is featured on a level that has caused many rage quits.
The game literally said hey wanna rage? Rage to this banger
Level wasn't that hard
It's hard when you're playing as the bird
Maybe that’s the point
The level is only kinda hard because if you’re not attentive, it’s easy to get lost in the gameplay and the background
8/8/23 Laying on the couch holding my newborn daughter, listening to SNES tracks, overwhelmed with emotion. She was born early and shes so tiny, I can hardly believe it. Its so weird knowing I have so much more to do ahead of me, so much to improve, a whole new human to guide into her own life, and even though I have an ear ache and most of my life feels like a rough draft, this moment is so perfect. Even though I am so excited for the future it terrifies me to know I will never be able to come back to where I am right now. Everything will grow, everything will change, everything will die. I wish I could stay in this moment and hold her forever.
Realest story
This was one of the most beautifully written paragraphs I have read in my entire life. You captured the essence of being someone my age better than anything I've ever read. I've been studying English in college for 5 years now. What a fuckin trip dude, seriously I think everything is going to be alright for you. Hope so, at least.

ma'am...this is a pre school...
Just reading this...with my newborn daughter in my hands
1/26/24. Just got out of prison for a crime I didn't commit. The world feels so much bigger now. I feel small, weak, alone... but happy. Everyone I left behind is still here for me. I can see the happiness in the smallest of places now. And yet, I find myself back here, leaving another checkpoint. Was this even the same video? Doesn't matter.
Good job man, keep on pushing forward o7
What happened ?

Please forgive the system for the way they failed you. Not for them but for u. Enjoy life and see it through a different lens my friend. All the best to you and i wish you endless happiness and fulfillment
On my birthday, fam? That's nuts.
Best of luck to you. The system sucks.
Checkpoint 4.27.24
I discharge from the hospital for my ED. My sweet puppy died. My newborn daughter lays in her crib next to me. All of this in the span of 2 short months.
I finally speak to my wife today about so many unprocessed feelings. How can i feel like I'm spiraling out of control, yet still be so unimaginably happy?
A video is recommended to me by Liam Triforce, a creator I've never heard of before. It's about David Wise and DKC, my favorite video game and favorite sound track of all time. I shared Stickerbush Symphony with my peers in PHP almost 2 months ago as a song that always puts me in a good place.
Liam Triforce mentions a video on CZcams where people share their thoughts, their emotions, their anxieties. He doesn't share the video title as he thinks the video is meant to find you. I remember this video that has appeared in my recommended for years. I guess I never made my way to the comment section.
Here I am. The creator was right. This is everything I needed right now. The world is a crazy place, and life is a beautiful thing.
You're gonna do great!
We've got this
Bro really just wrote a whole diary on a donkey kong song video
I hope you discharged on relatively good terms and that you and your family are doing well. Recovery is a continuing journey for most. It sounds like you have some awesome motivators. I wish you well!
@@Thepizzagangster bro really just made a reply to a whole diary on a donkey kong song video
So sad to see the original checkpoint gone. My mother passed away a few years ago. she was a huge gamer. It's because of her that I game. This music right here brings me back to us sitting on the couch, taking turns beating these levels and just playing all day. Love you guys for keeping this music alive. It feels good to know we share and hold this music close to our hearts. Love you all.
Edit. Everyone keep spreading positivity and your stories. That's what this checkpoint is about. There will be people that are just inconsiderate and try to ruin other people's day. Just know we found a place on this crazy internet where most of us bonded over a song from our childhood. Once again love u all

It has finally happened. My dad has died this morning. I couldn´t be by his side at his final hours. I live in another country 14000 km away from my parents. There was nothing I could do. And still there is nothing I can do to help my mom because I don't have the money to travel or the free time to go see her.
I already knew is was going to be his end when I heard he was very ill. I cried when heard it because he gave me "goodbye speech". He also knew it was going to be his end.
In his final days he was under heavy medication and seemed to be recovering, but I think it was his bodies way to give him time to say goodbye to my mother, with whom he was almost 50 years together.
Love you dad, well meet again in due time.
Much love to you, hope you get through this! 👊❤

2/18/24 Today we take my dad off life support after being in a two week coma, he had a fatal asthma attack leading to cardiac arrest, in a few hours we're going to let him go... I'm terrified of going the rest of my life without him (He's 56 I'm 24) all the things he'll miss now all the things we did together we will never do again. He was my hero my father and my best friend. Love you dad.
Edit: it's over, he went quickly in the end and was able to be an organ donor.

Sorry for your loss ❤

Its almost Christmas! I've started to get my life on track, and i have a strong friend circle. When i first listened to this song i was in one of the worst places in my life, and i had nothing to cling on to. This song is one that fills me with an overwhelming sensation of joy and hope. I hope to see this comment in the future when i inevitably return, i hope everyone has a great day!

Checkpoint 06/28/23 9:52 AM
I was on the brink of committing self-harm after a bunch of bad events happened to me. That's when my friend suddenly invited me to their place to hang out. Little did I know that it was gonna be a therapy session with the boys. I put this music on in the background and practically spilled my heart and soul out to them about my problems. This music reminds me of how throughout all the trials and tribulations, there's always something to enjoy in the worst of times. Thank you David Wise for one of the best game tracks.
Hope your situation gets better my guy

Life can be a frustrating tangled mess, just like the coiling Stickerbush.
The obstacles right in front of our eyes often become all that we can see, and we feel helpless at the mercy of things we cannot change.
But through all the hurt and confusion, the cloudy blue sky persists, as it shall when you reach your destination.
Wherever you are in your journey through life, always remember that you can work towards a brighter tomorrow.
And don't forget to stop to enjoy the music.
I needed this , thank you starfox. Wonderful words, gave me the chills. In the end There will be Good Thoughts, hopefully.
the sweetness of childhood... waking up at 5am by myself to watch the sunrise... climbing a tree in my forested backyard and listening to the soft faint hum of cars on a neighborhood road nearby... the excitement of birthdays and unwrapping presents... making friends with neighborkids... riding a bicycle through winding paths to hang out with mysterious far away neighbor kids... eating watermelon on a hot summers day.. waking up and being excited for every new day...
...all over and gone.
growing up is bittersweet. Miss you mom!

Holy sh*t mate.
Thank you for this. It's pretty succinct.

I find it amazing how thousands of people can pour their heart out into a comment section like this, and how we can come together to form new memories in this time of death and hate. I hope everyone here whether in a dark place, or just trying to make someone’s day better can live a long healthy life with friends and family around them. Literally in tears while writing this from the amazing stories, and conversations I’ve read here. Along with the song itself playing in the background. I’m about to start school again within a month, so let this be my “checkpoint”.
A place, and time I can look back on if I’m feeling down. However I want this comment to be for others as well; just think back, and reflect on your life. The ups and downs, the twists and turns, the losses and wins. I’ve lost many people in my time on this planet, and for those looking for closure on a dark time. I’m here. We all are. To lift you up, and let you shine like the star you are. So keep fighting, and if anything knocks you down get back up, and remember to never give up. You’re a soldier, so don’t let them stop you from fighting your way into a better tomorrow.
Best youtube comment ever.

Checkpoint 26/08/23.
My daughter is 2 months old now and I never loved a person more than I love her. I can't believe a dumbshit pot of anxiety like me could produce a little thing this beautiful.
I was like you. My daughter is 1y and 6 months old now. I got rid of anxiety because of her, she was my blessing.
I'm her guardian angel. i'm the one that has to stand up and tell her there is nothing to fear. Now it's only me, her and my wife.
When i'm in doubt, i just trust my instincts and go for it, nothing to fear, nothing to lose.
Nothing comes between us, no one. And if that happens, i'll make sure our "enemies" won't make the same mistake ever again.
Checkpoint: 1/25/24
Sitting in the car with my 8 year old daughter waiting for her elementary school to let in. It’s raining, and I love it. There’s almost always this car in front that’s here seemingly 2 hours before school starts and has never been beat to the front of the line. I’m regularly the 4th or 5th as we arrive half an hour early.
I’m contemplating my path in life in my creative pursuits and work. I work from home, but it’s not quite where i want to be as a job. I’m also learning to practice instruments finally but I’m still trying to become consistent.
I remembered that this song basically ignited my passion for not just game music but music in general. And I remembered what I was like being my child’s age just trying to beat my Dad in Pokémon. He always had more time to level his team in Gold than I did in Silver. He’d always beat me in PC2 because of it too.
My Daughter is reading a book for her 20 minutes a day. She’s reading way past her 2nd grade level at more of a grade 6-7. 1000 books before kindergarten, trust me on this one. She too loves games but my wife doesn’t. So even though I just got her a switch for ACNH (and she can actually read and play that game as a result of all the books), she’s not only playing the game. She draws and gets involved in cooking and has a balanced life.
It’s not the most emotional post I know. But sometimes these moments of pause where you look back in time… I feel like I’m bless. My dad loved games and anime and encouraged being creative and using your imagination.
I’m the same. As my daughter was discussing her ideal Leprechaun trap for upcoming St. Patrick’s day, she said something important. She compared Leprechauns to the Elf on the Shelf. She asked my wife if the Elf was really magic or make believe (“I promise I won’t be upset or anything”). My wife was then kindly reminded by her to move it those days she was too depressed to get up and get creative. She even went as far as to plan one herself that little girl. The Mrs. also asked me for help knowing I’m never too depressed for promoting creative fun.
And I think that’s what My daughter values as she contemplates if Leprechauns are real. She’s smart enough to know that it’s all in good fun. But I still didn’t say the magic wasn’t real.
Listening to this song and knowing that there are people here inspired by the creativity of this piece to share their life’s journey? I think that’s magic enough. Art like this is what inspired my father, me, and my daughter (whose gaming moniker is simply Princess Peach while my dad is Glamdring1313 LotR Old School nerd that he is). I hope it inspires generations to come as we build positive traditions out of our childhood comforts.
Bless you and your daughter
Get it all my dude

12/02/23 Sober almost 4 months (plus no cigs!). Mentally things are looking up for the first time in a very long time. Started to save money by not eating out all the time. Is this what getting control of my life feels like? I hope this continues, things were getting so, so dark. It felt like a life or death situation.
Holy shit man, Great fucking work! Im really proud of you, just keep going and make your life your own!
Proud of you. Keep it going, you got this.
Checkpoint 8/10/2023
Sitting here cleaning up my playlists on CZcams listening to music. It's raining outside, slight thunder here and there, my pup by my side asleep. The 40th bday is fast approaching, so that's on my mind. I still miss my mom who died a few years ago, I'll never get over it. My son is nearing 18. Life is pretty sweet, even though I've never accomplished much in the way of success in life I'm very fortunate to have this moment right now. I wish you all happiness.
Thank you. I can’t imagine being that old, right now I am still going and the whole life prospect still terrifies me. But seeing comments like yours reignites some hope within me.
Aww dude you've accomplished plenty, you have a beautiful family! That in itself is a major accomplishment. Congrats!
When I was 14 my cat passed away, I loved my cat very much and it was something very painful that changed my life. When she died, I remember recently completed the first Donkey Kong Country and quickly started playing the following games, making me completely fall in love with the Soundtrack of this game. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of that moment and makes me go back in time. This is why I love this song and the game so much. Thank you David Wise for bringing us these masterpieces
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Cool
I just lost my cat today... he was my best friend of nearly 13 years. And here I am looking for this song that I loved back in the 90's as a kid. Getting lost in my own world and loving every second of it. I hope he is in heaven and is loved and at peace, much like this song has always made me feel.
@@edcampbell310aw thats sad
I'm so sorry, friend, but believe me, it's better to see your cat pass away peacefully than to never give him a well-deserved burial like what happened to me. Today, after several years, I can't sleep like a normal person and I'm no longer happy. I hate myself frequently and cry a lot because I feel very guilty for not being able to see my feline son again.
Hugs to the soul 🫂

I’m 25 and every time I listen to this song it just makes me realized that time is passing by and I’m getting old. This song is soo nostalgic to me because I remember playing this game as a kid and just remembering how hard these levels were for me. I don’t know where I am in life. But enjoy your life cause in a blink of an eye things can change and the people we love won’t be around or opportunities. I hope I can find love and have a family. Till then I’m going to live life to the fullest and make as many memories as possible.
A few years ago my friend was taken by first-degree violence in a robbery gone wrong, and my mother - the person I thought was going to be there for me the most - took my mourning as an abandonment because of her childhood trauma and unresolved Cluster B disorder. Now, almost three years later, I have found strength within myself, and am giving my first big lecture as a Health Coach tomorrow evening, teaching resilience and helping other people through hard times. Everyone is hurting, especially right now, and I'm ready to do my part to ease that. Remember, that no matter what, things will get better. We've got this! 💪
i dont care
Thank you so much for this comment. I've been in the dumps lately, but this comment has helped me see hope for the future.
@@aidanchung4618 shut up
Recently I figured out that I have anxiety, and this song makes me feel better about it
Hope you overcome it
@@NotOmen amen
Be sure to try out vitamin B1 (thiamine) supplementation, in the form of benfotiamine or TRFD. It’s one of the primary causes of anxiety and “weird”, subclinical symptoms. Deficiency is only considered and picked up on conventional testing when you’re at death’s door with actual beri beri disease, so it’s very possible you have it without routine testing picking it up. It’s water soluble, so you pee out any excess you put into your body. It’s considered very low risk and OTC available. It’s a very low-hanging fruit for improving your health!!!
Be sure to supplement some magnesium with it too.
Me too, my friend 😢
As someone with anxiety, I know learning to live with it is a brutal process. I hope you are doing well
No matter what you're going through, this song will always be there
YOURE EVERYWHERE I GO
i CANT ESCAPE YOU

Ah we meet again.
@@netmeister7941 It will always get reuploaded. We will never let it disappear.
You can download it.
I initially just put this on to have relaxing music for my last hour of work today, but something about this always makes me wanna type.
People always joke about how "AI is taking jobs", but my job is literally being taken by an AI and my team gets to train it. We've been quite vocal on how everything will be a gigantic mess, but that seems to fall on deaf ears; we've been doing this for over 10 years, but we can't really give any "evidence" that it'll be a mess besides all the things we've cleaned up or had to adjust and whatnot in the past. They don't care about the intuition of those who are actually DOING the work. While they do have a "plan" for us, I don't wanna be snobby about it but my experience in this role and my college education is way overqualified for that plan for us; back on the call floor doing tech support. It'd be easy as pie, sure; thing is I'm already unfulfilled with what I do, and with things I've heard from others on the call floor it would be even less fulfilling for me there.
Part of me worries greatly about it, about what I'm going to do after it happens if I can't get relocated to another department I feel is more fitting for me. Another part feels liberated, that I will be able to explore other things because I no longer have the excuse of "Well my job is pretty cushy; why change it?" Only problem is I've been doing this for so long, I have no idea -what- I would want to do, or how to go about figuring that out on top of the myriad of other things a single guy with adhd in his mid-30s worries about on a daily basis.
I know it's all "just do your best and keep moving ahead" but damn is is disheartening to have one of the few stable things in my life be pulled out from under me; at least I have a few months before that happens to see if something else will change. Still, it's damn tough to look towards tomorrow when all you can see is darkness.
Man your a hard worker, good on you. But mann work isn't everything I promise. Things will go smoothly for you your in a good position. Keep your head up 💪
Maybe shitty advice but just think of people that have even more to worry about and thank God or whatever that you aren’t looking for your kidnapped daughter or being sold into slavery yourself. Stay positive but mostly just in recognition of the negative.
Checkpoint, 05/09/14.
Sitting at the bus on the way home, pondering everything about my life and the crazy 180, 360, 540...720? I lost count of how many spins my life had in a year and a half.
Moved out of my parents' house.
Got married to the love of my life.
Lost my grandfather.
Went through a rough patch mentally, was able to bounce back.
Got into financial troubles, nothing I can't recover from, but rough.
I wonder what I have done to deserve this...even though things may be difficult, it isn't always bad. I feel like I can do this, I can set my goals and achieve them. I can make everyone proud.
I no longer feel like dying. Much the opposite.
I want to live. I'm GOING TO.
10 years ago, wow.
Just spent all night crying to my girlfriend over the phone. Some tears were happy, and others were sad, but the root of it all was love. I love this girl so much and she means the absolute world to me. She's always been there for me, even through the toughest times, and I always try to do the same for her. I'm so incredibly excited for our future together while at the same time, I'm so happy now that I could live in this moment forever. I'm starting University soon, but I'm really glad that I'll be able to experience it with her. She truly is the love of my life and I don't know what I'd do without her. I'm not religious or spiritual, but I feel like she is life's gift to me, and I want to do everything I can to keep her here with me. We're both musicians and we both love this song so much, which makes listening to it feel even more special. My sweetheart, if you ever somehow read this embarrassing comment; just know that I love you so much, beyond all words and actions. You'll always be my one and only
Its so amazing when we find that one person who completes us. I was very lucky to have found mine also. But she passed back in Sept of '22. It's been rough, but each day gets a little easier.
But this isn't about that. Treasure one another. I wish y'all nothing but the best and a long, happy and fulfilling life together!
Tranquilo, pronto te cansarás de ella.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 NLT - Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you-unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.

Checkpoint 12/9/2023
Every time I listen to this song I think about my grandfather, my absolute most favorite person in the whole world, because I listened to this song on the last day I ever saw him. He had gone into respiratory arrest and because of that what I saw was nothing more than an empty shell of who he was before. As I'm crying silently to myself outside of his hospital room, I put on this song, and it soothes me, however now whenever I listen to it, I can't help but think about that day and how much I miss him. I know you've heard this before, but cherish those you have, because you never know, when they'll be gone forever.
Checkpoint: 21.06.2023
I don’t even know I can express the feelings I was able to feel over the last 6 or so months.
I’ve found the one person out there.
Feels like she is made for me, and I am made for her.
Healing has begun and every single day with her by my side is repairing the small pieces I’ve lost in the past.
When her eyes glow in pure happiness, I realize that this is the place I want to be at.
I’m home.
I hope everyone out here is able to find warmth and love.

amazing hope you too stay happy forever
Amen
I am greatly thankful for all of you commiting up to re-upload this godlike musical track, which sends anyone hopeful enough to another plane of emotional existance, where lifespan doesn't matter once you realise there's still life and, even if time will arrive, there's still time to enjoy what we have. Thank you.
Checkpoint 3/19/24
It's hard to say where I'm at. I'm not in quite as dark a place as I was two years ago. Back then, I really was utterly incapable of leaving my room, and every day was a never ending battle to bottle up the pain. The pain's less frequent now, and I'm much more functional. But I still spend many days shut up in my room, distracting myself for hours from what's inside. It just seems like all I do is try to get through work as quickly as possible, look forward to the weekend, and when the weekend comes, make the time go as quickly as possible so there's less time to think.
I wish I could say I believed that I'm on a path of progress, a path to a better place. But it wouldn't be true. It feels like I can make it to a basic threshold of getting through the day, the week, the month, and eventually the year, and that's it. And I'm kind of scared that at this rate I will just "get through" my whole life, and before I know it, it will be too late, and I'll realize all I have to look forward to is my deathbed.
For now, I'm just going to keep chipping away at the old medication/psychotherapy process. I hope that, come fall, maybe I'll be ready to start taking college classes again. I hope I won't just keep pushing it off indefinitely. I hope that, if I do start taking classes again, I'll be able to persevere, that I won't fold at the first sign of failure. I hope that, someday soon, I can honestly say that I believe that I'm on the path to a better place.

dear Spice,
i don't know if you'll ever see this, but i just want to tell you: those nights we spent in july are the calmest i've ever been in years. whenever i'm around you, time feels endless and hopeful, like when we would loop this video and fall asleep together. as i type this, we've been together for 191 days. the year is almost over, and i can't wait to do it all over again.
God that's so wholesome and cute
:D
What??
Aww
Why not tell Spice? I'm sure they would appreciate hearing this.
Check point 1/6/23
I am currently lying in my bed supposed to be asleep, telling fellow travellers in the comments that I'm proud of them, and feeling a very VERY calming sense of comfort. I.... I want to cry. I haven't felt like this for years. Thank you.
Exact same thing here
No, beautiful soul on the internet. Thank _you._
Supposed to be asleep? What are you 8? Is it past your bedtime?
@@netmeister7941 because only young people can have a good sleep schedule
@@netmeister7941 what, you never reach a point in your miserable excuse of a day where you go "yeah I need to sleep right now"? Do you never need to sleep, hm? If you're gonna harass people, do it better than that half assed way.
Esta cancion, me recuerda a un momento de mi vida donde no teni preocupaciones ni respondabilidades ya que era un niño jugando donkey kong con su primo, animandonos para pase el juego, pero esta cancion me cautivo y cautivo el momento impreso para siempre en un sonido de amor, esperanza, melalcolia muchos sentientos mas, es una joya, lastima que ya mo hagam juegos con musica como esta, despues de 23 años al volverla a escuchar tengo admitir que llore y me traslado a una epoca muy feliz, ahora soy padre y esposo, un adulto, mi tarea ahora es hacer que los momentos sean unicos por que de esto se trata la vida de que nos cautiven los momentos, GRACIAS a todos se les quiere y les deseo mucho amor
10/02/23 I haven’t spoken to my family in almost 8 years. They kicked me out cause I lost my job and couldn’t help them financially. I was homeless for a year and a half, but my friends were there to help me persevere.
Now I go to school and have 2 jobs and get paid double the minimum wage in my state. I have a gf I will start a new family with. Thanks for kicking me out when I had nothing so I could’ve became as strong mentality and emotionally as I am today.
You're family isnt a real family, im happy you can start a new family and i hope life will get better for you!!!

Checkpoint 05/19/2024
Just graduated from high school. I still have open houses to go to, but soon enough, for those that I haven’t already, I’ll probably be saying goodbye to a lot of my friends for a long time. Some of them are going to college very far away. Some of them are staying in the area. One of them is going to be dispatched to South Carolina in late August as a Marine. As much as I hate to admit it, all good things must come to an end and soon, it will be time to move on.
On the bright side, I’ll be starting college soon, where I’ll be pursuing a career in music performance, starting with marching band camp in lateish August. I’ll get to meet a bunch of new friends and really pour my time into music, which has long been a great passion of mine. Hopefully I’ll still see some of my friends around occasionally, and hopefully we actually coordinate some get-togethers again at some point. Either way, here’s to new horizons.
Checkpoint 14/12/2023
Cada dia que pasa aprendo a valorar mas la vida, pero me doy cuenta de lo rápido que pasa y solo espero que esto dure mucho mas. Aunque la depresión vuelve a veces, ya no me ahogo en ella, la abrazo y la acepto. Te extraño mucho hermano, mi acompañante de aventuras.
Vivamos por los que se nos adelantaron, disfrutemos de las pequeñas cosas.
God loves you
Go for it
I never would have believed the start button pause and listen would bring so much joy and introspection 30 yrs later
It's ironic yet fascinating to think that, to enjoy the game at it's fullest, you sometimes have to pause it
@@Real_temmie_undertaloWhat a thought yall. With this game, and with life too honestly
@@treheard3032 What an enjoyable life it is to always have a place to revitalize even when the odds are against you. It's a magical feeling, specially in the worst of times :)
Whoa.
Damn the man. They can take our checkpoints, but they can’t take our will to keep on checkin’ em!
I love it. We’re crushing it
Very true😊
The comment sections under each video game soundtrack will never truly perish!
I have to agree with you.
5/21/24 I've been suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. This is my antepenultimate day of 10th grade and the last summer i will get to spend together with my sister. She was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of this school year and I've been going strong but i don't know how much more i can take. You don't need to worry about me, im not suicidal or anything but i feel like im at a breaking point in my life and i fear for what that means for my family and friends.
I understand this feeling. Please, take care.
make these days worthy, and take care of yourself, wish you luck
Thank you both. I've been doing better but sadly my sister hasn't, but lately I haven't been letting it get me down. I've started to better cherish the time I have with her instead of agonizing over the time she has left.
Eu numca consegui acreditar que mesmo com a franquia donkey kong sendo abandonada pela nintendo,a comunidade consegue se manifestar em lugares diferentes,seja aqui no CZcams,seja no reddit,em páginas do Orkut,em todo lugar a comunidade de Donkey Kong esta atuva,até porque uma obra de arte como esse jogo,deveria ser exposto em um museu pois a jogabilidade suave,a trilha sonora completa,gráficos até que bons para a época,tudo isso reunido é o que muitas empresas hoje em dia não conseguem fazer,e um simples jogo dos anos 90 consegue ser tão completo assim,parabéns a Rare e as pessoas de bom gosto
*Vendo esse comentário,você se enche de emoção e vontade de jogar de novo*
Eu quero tanto falar tantas coisas.
Mas ao mesmo tempo não consigo falar nada
Essa musica e única!!
É uma pena que muitas pessoas nem a conhecem e nem sonham em conhecê-la..
Checkpoint reached
LVL: 22
Welp, looks like I made it. My birthday is around the corner, and I gotta say, this was a wild ride. My parents divorced when I was about 12, I got diagnosed with depression around 16, and a lot more. Really, I feel like I am more or less surviving than living my life. But I have survived to this point, and I should feel happy about that. I am planning on getting some more therapy, maybe reaching out to a counselor, or perhaps talk to people I trust in general. Making it to the weekend is always a challenge for me, but it's worth it just so I can hang out with my family again. I only wish that I can break free from my struggle, be unshackled, and finally be happy again. But only time will tell. And the rest will be a story for another day. Until we meet again, travelers.
-Emmett.

I hope you get everything you want in life. Just keep going.
Our sins take the form of the world around us and in the people around us. Thats why life gets so hard. Only the Son of Man, Jesus, can take away all this wickedness. Just you struggle about three years, not being sinner anymore, and forgiving people who mistreat you (because they will do, but they are OUR SINS to manifest in them), and the real freedom will be with you, out of Matrix. Jesus get crucified just to give us the chance to take the process to get the Kingdom of Heaven living this life. Few can accomplish it.
The internet is fuckin creepy.
@@kdsj29 amen
I hope that you can get the treatment and therapy, everyone goes through a tough time in their life
Seeing everyone come together and share all their lives while everyone is so caring and supportive makes me feel like the world will be ok in the end i will be coming back here on my birthday thanks everyone for warming my heart ❤
Checkpoint 03/15/2024
It finally got better. I've been through the hardest year of my life. After struggling with depression for years I've tried to take my life pointlessly. Now I've got a job, a daily exercise routine and I just feel the weight never been so lighter in a long, long time. There's life, there are other ways, there's hope. Love you all, keep up the hard work
6/30/24
Got home a few hours ago from an awards ceremony for the graduating class at my school, I didn't apply for as many scholarships as I should have but I at least won one. I had a really tough transition to high school because of covid so I've had a hard time facing the college process, I'm worried this transition will be hard too.
As I was leaving after the ceremony, I caught up to my best friend and walked her to her car. We waved goodbye and she said "Bye, love you."
I struggle to connect with people. There's a distance between myself and others that I can never seem to close, and I feel as though no matter how much better I get, I'm always going to carry a certain loneliness with me. I told her I loved her too, and when I got home I started to cry a little.
Getting ready for my senior prom in a few hours and I'm pretty nervous. Not my kind of thing at all, I don't have a date or anything, but I feel like I need to go see my friends there.
I miss them already. I love you too, Sam.
Graduated a little over a week ago as well. Congrats, dude!
maybe you're just not aware, but if she had expressed her love, it means you've successfully closed the distance, no?
i too, felt like this, but then, a big friend group spawned in my life, they called their snapchat group "waiting for roma to get on snapchat" since i didn't have one and didn't join the group, they'll text me if i missed a day of school, they'll drag me to hang out with them.
i thought i'd never get as close to people, and i still don't feel as close, but only because i keep comparing my relationships to others relationships, i don't have to go to sleepovers with them, nor have to stick to them all the time to be able to call them my friends, but they are.
and i've successfully bonded with them, so, cherish your friend's presence, and hold every word as precious, because you've come a long way with them
@@justroma7049 oh I'm definitely aware, I suppose I didn't say it but she is someone I've really connected with, and I really feel it too. She's easy to be around, easy to talk to. I never feel any need to impress her or give her reasons to keep me around, and so I never doubt that she spends time with me simply because she likes me. Part of why I cried is because I'm really sad to leave her, and partly because I'm proud of myself and my growth. I'm also just glad to have a such a great friend. I promise, I cherish all the time I get to spend with her. It's comforting to know other people have similar struggles too, it makes the world a little less scary. I'm glad to hear you've found people who mean something to you too.
Checkpoint 3/3/2023. I'm sad to see the original video gone but in my last checkpoint I was doing horrible I lost someone I love with all my heart I felt like life just kept throwing everything at me but currently I'm doing good I'm happy been trying to work out and I've been able to let the past go hopefully anyone who reads this knows you aren't alone hang in there and see you at the next checkpoint
I hope it gets better for you. I have lost many people these past few years, but just know that wherever they are, they still love you. Oh, yeah, and if you ever have to, just let all of the melancholy out. You can get through this, I believe in you.
they removed the life safefile
@@c1kchannel876 this is not the place to say that...
This song always takes me back. It makes me think of a life that feels like it happened a lifetime ago. But I can remember it like it happened yesterday. The feeling of being holed up in my room as a kid in elemetary schoool, playing DKC2 for hours and hours trying to hit that next level.
The problems I faced back then feel so small in retrospect. But their weight dragged me down like shackles. I often wonder if I'll feel the same in the future about the problems I face today. I hope so.
I wonder if I'm making the right choices. I know there is no objective right and wrong path to take, but I do wonder if I've let myself stagnate too much; if I've become too comfortable; if I've become okay with how every day ends up feeling like a carbon copy of the day that came before. The feeling is sickening when I focus on it. I guess I already know the answer to my question, don't I?
I just hope that by the time it's time for me to die I look back and feel peace with how I've lived my life. My life will never have been perfect, but that's the point of living - to feel the good we have to take the bad, as well. I just want it to be a life well-lived.
tldr; this song hits me in the gut like a fuckin Mack truck
Checkpoint 11/20/23 7:17pm. I just finished an eight hour shift, and I’m sore all over. Life has been feeling like Groundhog Day, working day in and day out with not much else going on. I’m struggling to balance college with work, but, no matter how hard it gets, I’m gonna keep working as hard as I can to be able to afford the life my boyfriend and I want in the future. I’d give him the world if I could, but, for now, until we can get there, he and I have to make do.
Besides existential feelings, I’ve been revisiting my childhood games to feel better, as well as collecting them. I just completed the Pokédex in black version 2, and got the shiny charm. Now I’m working on 100 percenting polestar studios to upgrade my trainer card. It was my first Pokémon game, and means a lot to me, so much so, I got myself a Serperior tattoo for my birthday a couple weeks ago.
Update: 3 weeks later, I just managed to upgrade my trainer card to silver after getting the good ending in every Pokéstar studios movie, and hatched a shiny Snivy!
...going to be honest, I never knew how beautiful this song was until I discovered the checkpoint. This is the most relaxing thing I have heard in months...
If I didn't have homework right now, I'd gladly spend the rest of my night just lying down and listening to this.
Checkpoint 03/03/2023: actualmente me encuentro en un punto de mi vida donde disfruto de la tranquilidad de ser yo mismo, he encontrado un grupo de amigos que me quieren y aprecian, tal parece como si toda esa penumbra en la que vivía se hubiera convertido en solo una pesadilla que ya no existe, he aprendido a dibujar y gracias a esos dibujos logre conocerlos a todos ellos, espero seguir mejorando "llenando el lienzo" cada día.
Porque la vida es como un gran dibujo cada dia es un trazo mas sobre el lienzo
Buena suerte, apresia y valora esa amistades, porque otras personas en una determinada edad simplemente te quedas solo, hace uno años estaba estudiando en la segundaria y cuando teves al espejo ya an pasado 6 años y te quedaste solo, no , simplemente me olvidaron
Increíbles palabras bro, es bueno ver comentarios en español, y te mando buenas vibras, ánimos!!
Así es hermano, gracias por esas palabras.
Vive bien sobrino. Con amor un americano de Padres Cubano. Espero que estas felis sobrino.❤

Checkpoint: Fully invested in a certification program for web development. I've never done anything like this. A lot is depending on me finding a job in less than a month. That's putting it lightly. Hoping a couple of certifications will help my LinkedIn stand out. I'm not giving up on becoming a fully well rounded graphic designer and web designer. I'm am talented, driven and want to honor a dream I dreamt almost ten years ago. It's now or never. It's not the cheapest program. I live a lone, in a big city. I'll be rationing food while I complete the program. I've paid for the necessities like phone and internet. All in.
Godspeed, buddy!
Checkpoint 4/17/24
Not even sure how I ended up here; but I am. No clue if things are looking up for me, but it feels like they might be. 38 and I still feel like I've missed the boat, but I'm content with the feeling now.
I've just got to keep patient and hopeful, even when it feels pointless to.
Thank you to everyone who has shared, or replied, or even simply just listened and read through these. We all share this moment, even if separated by time and distance this is a singular common node in reality that we have touched on together. There's a primal beauty in that. Keep moving forward, beautiful souls!
Checkpoint 5/19/23
Im 15 now
Im not sure how i have managed to live this long
I not sure if i would live any longer
Im just happy i get to experience everything with everyone
Im not sad i didnt get to experience the early 2000s or the 90s or the 80s
Im happy im living in a time where all of that is archived
Sure i may say sometimes i wish i was never born but thats when im at my lowest, i know things will never stay the same
Things will always get better
This might be the most overused saying
But the reason why is because its true
One day i think my life is over, the next day everything is great
My advice for anyone here
Dont stop believeing in yourself
It doesnt matter how many Exs have broken your heart by cheating on you
It doesnt matter if your family is abusive
Always keep on your stride
You are the main character in your story
You may not remember how it started
Or dont know how it will end
But just know
No man can just walk out of their own story
Checkpoint 11/11/23
I recently turned 16 a month ago
I can't believe im almost going into my twenties
I didnt think ill ever make it this far but i have
It felt like only yesterday i was 10 years old playing with my toys and watching plants vs zombies garden warfare on youtube
I have nothing meaningful to say here
Maybe at a later date
But as for now
This is where i get off.
Just keep going.
Thanks for the advice I had two friends leave me all alone by myself no friends anymore you brought a little joy in my life so thank you very very much
"Always keep on your stride
You are the main character in your story
You may not remember how it started
Or dont know how it will end
But just know
No man can just walk out of their own story"
I'll keep these words until the day I die
I'm happy to know there's someone out there that understands the value that life can hold, even so young. I say this as though I'm not 20, pretty young myself but seeing someone out there that knows that it'll be ok in the end wars my heart. Don't lose that. As rosellarade quoted you,
"Always keep on your stride
You are the main character in your story
You may not remember how it started
Or dont know how it will end
But just know
No man can just walk out of their own story"
Thank you for being exactly who you are.
checkpoint: justo hace un mes acabo de salir de la clínica de rehabilitación donde di tratamiento a un problema de drogas que tuve durante varios años desde antes de terminar mi carrera (Arquitecto egresado hace 3 años) gracias a dios hasta el día de hoy llevo 4 meses sin consumir cristal espero poder seguir limpio y encontrar trabajo pronto.

this is the most calming relaxing and beautiful song I've heard in my life
"Always fight your problems. If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. But if you don't fight, you can't win. So fight!"

Moved from Brazil to Miami 6 months ago, have adapted quite well I guess. English wasn’t a big problem, it was mostly the spanish that got me. High school system here is very interesting but also a lot different to what I’m used to. Don’t know if I have feelings for this girl I met, feels like I’m still developing bonds, and no idea what she feels about me to be honest, I’m horrible at getting signs. At the same time I feel like I’m at the prime of my life: few responsibilities besides school, friends, videogames, music, and I don’t have to worry about work for now. These are very confusing times for me, but I know I’ll just get through it all. Hope everything turns out fine.
Hope you enjoy the best years of your life!
Boa sorte nessa sua caminhada meu mano
Boa sorte from turkey brother
Deve ser bem difícil se adaptar ao sistema escolar de um outro país, principalmente um onde é totalmente o oposto do nosso, até no jeito de ensinar.
Espero que esteja conseguindo, amigo. Só de saber que você está otimista de conseguir ultrapassar tudo isso, já é o suficiente!
Don't worry young man you'll be fine. Be you
I want to have a check in with the coolest corner on CZcams. You were there for for us a decade ago, and you're still there for us now. Thanks! December 1, 2023
19/06/2024 This track is so calming. It's sad yet relaxing, which really helps to just embrace and accept the negative emotions inside one self. There is not a day where at night alone in my bed I don't feel lonely, and for each day that passes it feels like an eternity, but I've made the choice myself to be alone. My mind is too complex, it creates too many problems in romantic relationships which is why I decided to not go into something that I am not yet ready for. It sucks, it really sucks, the second I don't have any distractions in front of me the immense loneliness kicks in and feels like a giant heavy carpet I am trapped under. The most relaxing choice for me is to just accept that I'm trapped under the carpet and not try to get out. This track really helps me with doing that, it adds a calmness to the loneliess, makes me appreciate that despite the feeling being painful it's also relaxing in a way. Sometimes letting yourself be sad can be a good way to get rid of stress. Sadness can be oddly comforting, it's like a relief, a big breath of air that empties all the stress in your stomach. I think this track perfectly hits notes that while sad are also comforting because it's almost like the melody is saying "Yeah it's sad, but that's fine, and things will work out regardless". I really appreciate when music can embody such deep emotions, it's a true sign that while we may feel alone we are many that are sharing this feeling of loneliness, so it's not something to be afraid of :,)
Checkpoint 2/23/23 2:09am. I love y’all and I just want the energy that comes with this music to be spread around. Everyday is a new day and I am flowing with life until I’m called home. Love is love.

Best of luck.
Checkpoint. (5/10/23) 2 loved ones dead, I could be abused yet haven't thought about it. I have been going through dark times and I hope everyone else sees this and realizes they aren't the only one with tough struggles and shouldn't feel alone in these times where the light can't shine through the clouds of thunder and rain. Everyone who sees this along with all others aren't alone. Stay strong, and push through.
Hey man, your loved ones are always there with you, you just can't see it. Love is powerful across dimensions.
April 13, 2023.
Been thinking about high school a lot. Those really were the best years of my life. I had friends, I had fun, I had something to look forward to five days of the week.
Now over a decade later I rarely leave the house beyond groceries, have no social life IRL, all my friends drifted apart and/or hate each other now, and I still have no idea what being an adult even is. I just want to live and have fun, and the thought of being another cog in the capitalist machine as a means of even being able to just survive terrifies and disheartens me.
Such a beautiful piece capable of evoking so much emotion! AND IT COMES FROM THE MOST STRESSFUL LEVEL IN THE GAME!!!!
fr i have a tear running on my face just by listening to the music and reading comments
The music is perfect for the level though. I’ve spent so much time in this level, dicking around listening to the music, that now if I play it, it’s almost sad how fast it’s over. Luckily my kid still struggles with it so he holds me back😂
Checkpoint 22/11/23. Trigger warning.. I've been thinking about my cousin a lot recently. 2 years ago he made the decision to end his own life. Today I heard the song they brought his coffin out to.
It's especially tough as I myself was at the same crossroad a year prior to him. Best decision I've ever made was not turning the wheel that day. You can't see hope when you're in that place. You feel like it doesn't exist. But it's there.
You just have to wait. You just have to hold on.
I like to think he's up above all of those thorns now. We can just look up :)

Checkpoint: (Mar/11/23) In three days I become 16 and im so terrified of growing older. The idea im halfway done with high school scares me cause its flown by so fast. For the first time in my life I have had real friends my age. The fomo and doubt they like me is immense but I am finally feeling like a person. I have finally started to feel actually good at viola/violin after 5 years of playing them. I hope it all stays stable
You're doing great. And while change can be scary it may also prove to be the beginning of something beautiful. Keep at it then everything will be fine!
Happy belated birthday. Hope 2023 and all your following years treat you well.
It's gonna be scary, kid, but that's the fun part.
All of these replies are heart felt, dont just take these at face value, everyone here is supporting you! You are doing great, you are amazing and important, dont ever doubt yourself! Your friends do care for you, they are there for you!
Hello,
I do not know if this message will reach you, but do not be scared of getting older. I am currently 23. My best advice to you is be present as much as you can and take in your experiences. Be really open to try new things, and don’t be too stuck in the past. I like to use a little analogy, imagining yourself in the future, the past for them is your present. Imagining yourself in the past, your present is their future. What does this mean? This means everything you do right now will lead up to the person you’ll become, your present is your future. Be open, be disciplined despite motivation, and most of all, get out of your comfort zone from time to time and change up your habits. Being uncomfortable is ok. Your choices make who you are.
Best,
-A.R.
Checkpoint 7/4/23
I've been through a lot the past year. Family problems, moving away from my friends, and feeling alone again. This song made me realize that, even though I've been through so much, I still have those close to me. Something I'm going to try to remember, which I hope resonates with some of you, is that there's good out there, you just have to look for it sometimes.
checkpoint 10/6/2023:
skidaddle skidoodle my brain is now a noodle
This is the last level I have the strongest memories of playing last back in the day. Its like I can remember being in the exact moment and remember exactly what I was going to do and who was around me when I was done playing. I even remember vividly drinking an orange crush soda. Not quite as strong as a scent memory but still pretty wild how a song you forgot about can unlock core memories.
I am finally in a great place in my life but I still find myself coming back to Stickerbush Symphony for a nice way to chill unwind and relax. much love to all those who are hurting we are all in this together and I am glad we can all use this amazing song as a point to just... be together.
I just want to say thanks to all of you for sharing your stories on the original, a lot of said stories would always make me happy to see that things were going well, I hope y'all enjoy life stay happy out there, stay cool y'all bye !
Left a comment on the previous checkpoint before it was taken down but I thought I’d come here to share to share my story.
When I was 12, I was betrayed by one of my best online friends at the time, and it left me mentally shattered for weeks. I felt so small, so…worthless. I have never felt so alone and devoid of hope in my life.
Except I wasn’t alone. My family was there for me during the darkest of times. If it weren’t for them, I probably wouldn’t be here right now, writing this.
However, even today, I still find myself struggling with that depression, those feelings of worthlessness. Then I remember my family, and all of the friends I have. All of the friends I can truly trust. They have worth to me, and I have worth to them.
No matter how bleak it seems, no matter how hard it can be to go on, remember that there’s always going to be someone out there that cares for you. Never lose hope.
I believe in you.

The entirety of the DKC2 soundtrack is phenomenal, even down to things like the save select, Kong Kollege, and Swanky's theme. Who knew that even songs used so sparingly could be so enjoyable to listen to.
So when a song in the game stands out, you know it's something special. I especially love Mining Melancholy and Flight of the Zinger, among so many other standouts. So before you read my next paragraph, please understand that every song David Wise made for this game is truly something masterful.
But wow, Stickerbush Symphony is something else. It just stands out like no other song in the game does. Every time I introduce DKC2 to someone, they will usually comment on the gameplay more than anything. They might mention how good a particular song is, but the highlight for them will still be the gameplay.
But as soon as I reach the bramble levels, the whole mood changes. Even the most talkative of my friends will just stop talking and take in the awe. This song is transcendent and mesmerizes everyone in the room. All they can do is take in the background and music and sit there completely stunned at its beauty.
I never get tired of this song.
Checkpoint -
I'm glad I've made it here.
Right now, I'm sitting at home during my summer break. I have my cat next to me, and my brother near me in the same room. I'm in my bedroom in front of my computer with a dim lamp on my desk. I have some drawings stacked up on a notebook next to me. I'm just here to read through these comments while I relax and think about what the future holds. What will my next school year be like? What will I feel when I graduate? Where are those friends that I've moved away from? How do I deal with anticipatory grief? I have a lot of questions right now about what will happen to me and my loved ones - and I don't know how to answer most of them. But I'm sure I'll turn out okay - regardless of who or what I lose, I know I'll be able to move on. I have before, whether it was friends, pets, family, or even just an object that I cared about. I get the feeling I won't forget this video. I may even update this comment to anyone who chooses to listen to what I have to say. I'm happy this video is here - it'll help me a lot in life, I already know it. Thank you for listening. - 3/6/23 - 2:56 AM
Checkpoint: honestamente pensaba mucho en hacer esto pero al final estando en este punto de mi vida estoy seguro que será interesante pues estoy a 7 días de terminar mi carrera universitaria (animación y efectos visuales) no me arrepiento de mi elección de carrera tampoco podría decir que no he vivido buenas experiencias pero aún así estoy asustado hay cosas que me aterran, cómo el que pasará después de la universidad, desgraciadamente yo antes no era una persona tan extrovertida actualmente tengo 21 años y en este cumpliré los 22 pero siento que a comparación de otras personas no he vivido ciertas cosas. Antes de salir por completo tampoco sé si seré capaz de decir los sentimientos que tengo por una persona especial dejo este checkpoint aquí y si alguna vez lo vuelvo a ver lo actualizaré para ver si realmente mejore como persona

Checkpoint 6/8/2024
Work sucks. I just came to terms with the fact that looking for a new job isnt going to make me happier either; I love what I do, but I cant stand my boss. Id rather put up with their BS on occasion and keep doing what I love.
Life has a way of being bittersweet though. Ive adopted a dorky cat thats my best friend, my family and friends are really stepping up and supporting me though this whole predicamnet, and Im just happy with all the people Im around (outside from my boss, go suck a lemon!)
So here I am at 1 AM, listening to the most relaxing song in the world, reading comments from complete strangers, pondering the juxtoposition of monkeys in ties and some of the most gut wrenching stories people have to share. Its a strange moment of calm. Keep at it wonderful strangers, i believe in you all!
Cool man u only forget the marijuana😁
Checkpoint (05/22/23) Currently 2 or so in the morning. I can't sleep, and Im supposed to be up early at 10, so I can go to my school at 1 and practice the graduation ceremony. I dont know what's keeping me up, but I can only guess it's the phone addiction. This song was good to listen to while sleeping on the ride to florida for a school trip, so I guess it could work here, maybe. Im nervous with a lot of family coming, but Im aure graduation is gonna be great. It's just missing practice Im worried about. Anyway, I hope things go well for all of you and you're having a fantastic day. I'll update soon enough. Peace ✌️
Update: Checkpoint (5/24/23) I did it. After the family came and I did the two days of practice, I graduated. I have the diploma and we're celebrating with a cookout after we celebrated with coffee cake. I'm so happy and I am officially an adult in a way lol. I'm gonna miss everyone but damn is it nice to be done. Peace ✌️
Just realize that the other Stickerbush Symphony 1 Hour video was gone, so here I am!
I wonder what was the first one that started the "checkpoint approach", this is amazing! Lots of stories. Keep checkpoint it =)
Taia777 or something like that i think
21/12/23. I turned 20 this year and I still feel 16, life truly stops for no one
I feel you man. I'm turning 33 in 2 months and I still feel like just 25... I'm not ready to be old 😢
I turn 35 at the end of this month and I still feel like I’m 20
Guys guys, it doesn't matter how old you feel or how old you are. Being old is just a concept, you don't have to "act" old. Never let your inner child die ❤️
12-17-23 im feeling mildly depressed and is semi getting things together. all it is is the interactions at school and then just computer all day. i just cant find anything entertaining to do and i just feel like everything is just slowly slipping away
Checkpoint 7/abril/2023
Descubrí esta comunidad dentro de este video lo cual me sorprende y me deja muy feliz, me da gusto que haya in espacio random donde expresarse.
Hoy vi a un amigo que hace 3 años no veía, fue como estar de nuevo en la universidad me sentí lleno de vida estando con él, espero poder recuperar mis amistades poco a poco, extraño mucho la universidad y a mis amigos, espero algún día volver a convivir con tanta gente tan maravillosa
Checkpoint 19/may/2023
Hoy me acordé mucho de esta canción, quise venir a plasmar un poco de mi vida, en este momento comencé a vender consolas de videojuegos japonesas realmente me va bien haciéndolo, por otro lado mi relación de pareja es un sube y baja, nuestras creencias y estilo de vida chocan mucho ya vamos para 10 meses, han sido muy lindos pero cuando ella toma cambia mucho conmigo, realmente no se si soy yo el que esta mal por enfadarme al verla tomar.
he tratado de socializar un poco más me ha ido bien, pero aun siento que me falta hacer más amistades, quisiera tener un mejor amigo.
Checkpoint 23/2/23
It was deleted again. Man that's upsetting but at least this one's here
if anyone is reading this i hope you're doing great, or whatever bad thing is happening passes soon enough :)
I'm going through a bit of an anxiety spike right now. There's a bit of conflict involving my two friends, I care about both of them and I never want to lose either of them so obviously I would be anxious. I'm sure it'll turn out fine though
Other than that, life's been kinda chill? I restarted Animal Crossing so I guess that's?? cool?? idk. but i still don't have a new year's resolution. i feel like it's too late to be thinking of that now though lmao. right now i want to sleep so im gonna do that
Hope you didn’t lose either of your friends

My parents just threw a Halloween party for my little brother and his friends. It was the first party we had in a while and it was the first one I actually got to help with. I probably would've passed out I tried any harder then I did...at first I was afraid it wouldn't amount to much but everyone had so much fun with what we set up. And then my mother was so happy seeing all her work payed off, especially since she wasn't the only one doing it this time...This all happened yesterday and that day was when I got a sense of my old life back, when I was just so happy with shoddy little things set up by a few parents and a dream, and seeing that kids still love and appreciate that makes me happy. Makes me think that the world is more beautiful than I think it is.
Dude. The world is so fucking beautiful. Just wait and see c;
i dont care
3/28/24. It has been exactly a year today since I gave up on drugs and smoking in general. Recently applied for university and am omw to fixing my life one by one. Sometimes I feel like I've learned stuff too late and it is giving me a midlife crisis at age 22, but I am glad to just figure things out. May the lord protect us all ❤️

I just lost one of the best friends i've ever had, thing is, i am not really good at keeping friends, i can met someone and have a lot in common with them
but after a while, i would eventually run out of things to talk about, so it gets a litte bit akward, and i cant be around them because there's nothing to say
however, this one friend felt the same, we knew that if one of us didnt talk it was not because we hated eachother for something, it was because both of us are introverts, and we understood the feeling
We could sit together completly silent and that would be ok, it was not like we were silent all the time, sometimes we did voice chats and played a lot of games together, we were happy in our own way
But that is not a memory of the past, because every good thing i have always has to go, we dont talk very often anymore, and our friendship is kind of growing cold, it is all my fault
Between us, i was the most quietest one, and having this friend really helped me get through a lot, he even saved me from "banning myself from life", they are the most lovely person ever
we also had a favorite song in common, its called "Touch Tone Telephone", is one of the main reasons why we are friends
however, 2 weeks ago i decided to ghost them, not because i hated them or something, it was because i felt like they didnt wanted to be with me anymore (for whatever reason), and now i regret doing that because thanks to me the beautiful litte friendship we had is now dying
i had such a good friend, and i lost it because "i didnt felt loved", that was selfish and i really regret it, i dont hate them, i wish we still were friends, but dont know what to tell them, i dont know how to fix this, *i am such a coward*
im so sorry
Hey, Humans are not someone who does the rights things all of the time. That situation was very rough. No matter how you looked at it. Live and learn. I would recommend seeking therapy, I hope for the best of you in your life. Stay strong and love ❤
Best of luck
Checkpoint 5/5/2024
A few days ago i swallowed my fear and asked a woman i had only just met for her number. My Last relationship went up into flames as so many have before. This time I truly think it will be different. I felt those butterflies all over again as you would as a child having a crush. She means the world to me already and i know I'm falling to fast and will hit the ground hard but this time I will land 2 feet on the ground running. We both seem to have a major interest in one another. I hope it goes well and later down the line possibly be together and be happy as well. I only wish she could have met my grandmothers before they had past some years ago. Please be kind to yourself as you are to others hero
>Game Saved
It's comforting to me knowing that no matter what, I can always come back to listen to this song and feel safe.
The fact that over years and years across different uploads millions of people young and old across the world have united together in this one video to just share their stories or where they're at in life, is so uplifting.
If you, by any chance come across this, or have come back to rewatch it, know that your not alone. The world may be a big, scary and cruel place, but it's also filled with beauty, and with people and things worth caring about. You matter, even if you don't think so.

i dont want to be a mood breaker, but as someone who has played dkc2, the levels with this song are the complete opposite of safe. Funny how the song is so relaxing despite that.
@@marioluigibros.8176 Honestly if anything that makes them even better because even throughtout all their frustrations you can always count on the song to keep you calm, kind of like a reflection on the effect it's come to have on the general lives of tons of people, myself included.
Checkpoint_8.03.2023 - Sabe, muitas coisas estão acontecendo em minha vida neste momento, estou aprendendo a lidar com o começo de uma vida adulta e "Independente" mas confesso que ainda me sinto inseguro com relação a minha progressão quanto a isso, mas sempre que eu me sinto triste ou com medo, eu escuto algumas trilhas sonoras de jogos, principalmente está que é a minha favorita, ela me traz uma sensação de calmaria e tranquilidade, me fazendo ter boas lembranças de momentos marcantes de minha vida, carrego no meu coração pra sempre, e espero que quando estiver lendo isso de novo, as coisas tenham melhorado! Com bastante coisas ruins acontecendo recentemente, eu fico muito triste e com medo do futuro, mas sempre procuro os jogos e a paixão por desenhar e criar histórias como uma forma de escapar um pouco dos problemas da vida, e tenho muito carinho por tudo isso!!!❤️❤️
Vai dar tudo certo meu mano! Você vai conseguir tirar isso de letra!!!
08/06/23 Checkpoint~ Today was my 24th birthday, I spent time surrounded by my closest friends yet I feel like something massive is missing from my life, I just can't pinpoint what's bothering me. I guess even in good times sadness can overwhelm us for seemingly no reason, but we just plant our feet and keep moving forward. Sitting here and listening to this almost feels cathartic, for reasons I can't really explain but I'm sure most of you understand. Despite the PFP and my love for the music, this is one of the games I missed in my childhood, but nintendo in general and many others have brought a sense of escapism and security in my life I wouldn't have been able to find in other outlets, and for that I'm genuinely beyond thankful. I have my issues with Nintendo, but overall in the grand scheme of things, nothing has had a larger impact on my life than the time I spent in other worlds, solving zelda dungeon puzzles with my siblings, worrying about nothing other than where the stories would lead us next. I know there's many out there that share these feelings with me, but it can definitely be hard to find. Just know you aren't alone, we'll all find our paths, just don't give up on yourselves.
Hey, Happy birthday! Out here spreading love! ❤

Laid in bed and about to get not remotely enough sleep before a workday, but... I think it's worth my first checkpoint (at least in memory). It's been a decade since I was happy. Prior to that, I was in middle school and barely even a teenager. Finally, after a decade of struggle - nearly half my life - I can finally say that life is... not delightful, but livable. Finally something I'm not quite just surviving.
I have so much further to go, and am so lost on how to improve it further when my only idea of improvement was a neverending series of circumstance and mental health I was trying to weather and solve, but... of course, there is further to go with that, too, but for the first time I feel like I am able to approach life like other more regular folk can. It's nice.
I think I'm going to get my hair dyed again, soon, and maybe buy a new desk chair. Feels good, even as those unfamiliar neutrality towards life in general right now is so scary. I hope in a year or two I can leave another even more positive checkpoint.
It gets better, man.
I remember getting to this level and the same morning my cousin past away. Never forgot this song for that reason.
Checkpoint - 4 de abril de 2023
Sigo trabalhando pesado pra ganhar um trocadinho e poder comprar minhas coisas e ter um pouco mais de conforto.
Sempre no fim do dia entro no CZcams pra ouvir alguma música e relaxar. Hoje eu botei essa! 🫶
Seguimos com os nossos objetivos e batalhas, amanhã é outro dia!
Tudo de bom pra vc mn

Unfortunate that the original video was taken down. It was truly a memorable moment to be recommended that video. RIP the "border of the internet."
The border of the internet isnt dead. Videos may be taken down, but they can always be reuploaded. Its abut the community behind it. As long as people are ready to tell their stories, this place lives on.
Checkpoint: 10/16/2023
Coming up on my 28th birthday, been living on my own for a little over a year. Things have changed for the better. I enjoy my job, I don't feel alone, I've discovered so many new things about myself and life.
I've developed my talent and love for art, I've even gained a small following for it. I'm gonna keep going, I want to get better.
I know the road won't always be easy- but hey, future me? When you do inevitably see this again, I want you to know: you're gonna be great. Even if things take a dive, you're strong. Be kind to yourself.
Never forget this feeling, this peace you feel.
Protect it.
