    This was so inspiring. And beautifully done. The song, the videos of your life, and family, the quotes.
    I have been through a lot, though I am young. More recently, I’m going through some health issues that have prevented me from leaving the house and living my life. It’s been hard, some days I am so angry, but I keep waking up to this idea that existence is a gift. In spite of all I’ve gone through, and continue to go through, each day that I wake up I am grateful that I am alive. Even if it sucks, haha. This video really resonated with me and further put it into words. I loved it. Thank you.
    P.s. is that your song? I love music and make music too, this really stood out to me as beautiful.

    @astrosun1027 Před měsícem +1

    I would gladly give up this ''gift'' you're talking about. I don't want to be in excruciating pain anymore. The bad greatly outweighs the good in life. You're all too afraid of death which is why you'd rather live in this hell.

    • @nickthompson1812
      @nickthompson1812 Před měsícem +3

      Death is freeing. Knowing I could use it as an escape at any moment lets me feel free in life. For if life goes too far south, death awaits as an outlet for your fear of life.

    • @ThePaton2007
      @ThePaton2007  Před 19 dny

      Hi! It's actually not slow motion, the room was really dark so I had to lower the shutter speed of the camera to about 1/8 or 1/4 (I can't remember which one), but that gave it the kind of choppy look that you are seeing

    It's a gift to exist but at the same time you don't have a right to live. Work or no Money, food, water or any other ones of your human needs. Sorry if this is a rude wake up call but the world isn't perfect its beautiful but its also full of flaws and horrible people. Only by accepting the good and the bad can you see the world clearly.

  • @SurrealBackrooms
    @SurrealBackrooms Před měsícem +98

    Well done, but I disagree. I grow jealous each day thinking of those who were never born to begin with. No suffering, no struggle. We never chose to be here. Our parents chose for us, dragging us from the void of inexistence into the violent, painful world we live in, full of loss and sadness. There is joy, sure, but to never suffer? That sounds like a gift to me.

      Trust me friend, we are but lucky to have to fee alll these feelings...be it sadness or happiness... everything is a gift.
      Sometimes life is hard and I am sorry to hear that you are going through something unwanted but trust me things get better.
      You shall never be ungrateful for this thing called life, it always makes me sad when I think about nothingness just a void, don't lose hope so that you can see your better days.

    • @SurrealBackrooms
      @SurrealBackrooms Před měsícem +3

      @wangpanakhun1353 I don’t really see things as a gift if the “gift” was forced upon me. Never chose to exist, my parents did.

    • @kissy_dumpie
      @kissy_dumpie Před 23 dny

      ​@@SurrealBackrooms I just wish the best in life. I hope you'll find something that you will truly love and be passionate about. How you'd define such thing will depend on how you view it. For me, life can be hard and all; it can even be bittersweet but hey, there's so many things I'm grateful about. I hope you'll have your own taste of it and you'd view it from a different perspective, then you could be satisfied even to a part of it. And if you need someone to talk, I am free. ))

      @@SurrealBackrooms i guess it depends on your perspective - my life to me is a gift, to you it is not. What if i was you - you would outlaw your birth - what if i would like it? There are horrible things in this world it hurts and sometimes i curl in a ball on the floor. But other times i close my eyes and listen to my surroundings - i tell the people i love i love them - and i mean it. Life is what you make of it - i try to do my best, i hope you find some light somewhere
