nostalgia is the most painful happiness.

the fact that we will never be able to go back kills me. time won’t stop and we will just have to keep going

Pov: your best friend in a game goes offline for 5 years....

This makes me think. I'll never be able to experience my first school dance, or first *real* crush. I won't experience that week-long class trip that I had so much fun on. I'll never experience those ever again.

"I am just a fish-" *Proceeds to spin *

"Endings are just new beginnings." - Master Wu.

You never missed being a kid. You just miss actually being happy -Unknown

We thought we were having fun but we where making memories -a wise man

feeling nostalgic with this melody fills you with determination. *saved file.*

As a high school student with many assignments to worry about I find this strangely calming somehow

"Nostalgia is the only thing people have in a world with a bleak future." - Some guy said this differently, but I just quoted what I understood

“Don’t. Cry. I am just a freak.” Hits really hard

It's okay to cry it's ok to run away. The only thing that's important is that you're still *_alive_* making memories and meeting friends.

I'm crying istg your nostalgic covers never fail to make me cry ☹️‼️

"What's sad about nostalgia is, we can capture the moment inside our head yet we can't go back to experience it again" -a wise man

“Dont be sad because it ended, be happy because it happened” - wise person

This makes me sad, my grandma passed a year ago from liver cancer and we were going to do a bunch of things but it didn’t happen. I miss you and love ya. Fly high

I remember having a huge meltdown and I quickly put this song on and just sat there crying and making sure to listen closely to the lyrics, this just made it a whole lot nostalgic~

" I am just a fish" **flop flop**

Was about to sleep, told myself to watch one last video and saw this pop up first in the feed. In the next 15 years of my life, I hope I'd find this comment again and remind myself that high school would be the second best place I'd miss.

"You won't be able to go back, but you can still imagine what would have changed if you did." -Unknown

It's one of my fav songs, that I kinda relate to. The first word, that came to my mind while listening this was "Beautiful". Nothing more. Nothing less. Just beautiful.

Imagine dressing how you want, no shoes while ur on the grass, the perfect weather, and it's early in the morning. That'd be nice

I hear all the time how life feels worse than before. People have their own “before”s. Some say before 2020 and the pandemic, some say before an accident or incident, some don’t know when, just that things felt better beforehand, and worse now. I think the best thing to do is remember that in a years time we’ll be thinking the same about today, and how we miss the emotions and events of today. Remember this nostalgia, because I’ve found that you can live in the moment by remembering this feeling, and being grateful for every moment, and noticing the pleasure in the little things: how the dying rays of sunlight hits your favourite person, how the grains of sand feel on your feet at the beach, how my body feels sore after a workout, how the pillow feels cooler on the one specific edge, and the feeling of staying up til 3am on the weekend playing games with friends. I know I’ll miss these feelings, and I’ve learnt to enjoy them as they happen. It’s beautiful. Life isn’t worse, we just don’t value it enough ❤ Keep your chin up, and enjoy each day you wake up, because some don’t get the chance to.

2023 and 2024 were the best times of my life. I have met many friends, lost some of them, and in a month, we will have an exam and after that, we will never see each other. I'm just thinking our memories and then remembering that everything ends. And my life's best time is going to end in a month.

"Don't cry cause it's over. Laugh because it happened" - Dr.Seuss

Stay a while, rest for a bit. Your journey isn’t over, but you’ve come a long ways.

I imagine a photo (which we never took) with my high school friends all together. We were a large group, we lived experiences that so far make us laugh. But who would know that 2019 was going to be our last year together and that the rest of the school would be online and forgettable. Anyway, I don't even get along with half of them anymore, we take different directions and distance ourselves. But this song manages to take me back.

Pov:the life ends and you still hear this mustc, then hear footsteps and die, but you still hear same music

Imagine a game you used to play everyday reached it's end and this song plays while showing all the places you used to go and scenes you used to remember. Remembering all of those hits you a huge wave of nostalgia. You feel proud of yourself reaching the end and finding of what you've been looking for. But feel sad in the same time seeing your favorite game ending.

POV: the world turns out to be a simulation and you hear this play with credits and pictures of your life going by as your next life gets ready to be lived.

I hate how sad and happy this makes me feel. Truly an amazing audio.

It was timeless back then, you woke up, you logged on to Minecraft, then played on Roblox a bit, and that was your ideal day.

"Life isn't about how long you live, it's about what you've done to it." -Unknown

I don't know about you all, but.. after 2019 everything just kinda changed. Nothing feels real anymore, everything is just grey, colorless, boring and sad. Everyday I think back to how amazing my childhood was and how much fun everything was. This summer felt so dry... I miss my old friends, I just miss being truly happy. Why did everything change? Even the internet became a pile of crap, in my opinion... I wish I could go back Edit: Wow guys, I didn't expect you all to still comment here! I read every single response of you all and you all have really inspiring stories to share. I'm glad I'm not alone in this and I'm glad that we all are here in this small comment section. Even though I don't know who you people are, I am glad that you found comfort in my comment or could get some things off your chests! I know not everyone will read my edit but if you do, please know that it's not the end. We can do this!

You want to go back to when you didn't have to worry as much. A melody of happier times filled your ears.

The fact that I'll never get a headpat... While a hug or a kiss seems so distant...

this version of the song reminds me that nothing last forever and eventually the people or things you use to be close to will slowly drift away as you grow older

At first, I started laughing at the vibe, now I'm just crying thinking about my childhood.

Pov: your dad died in a car crash trying to return home with the milk.

The mind is where all hell breaks loose you remember.. the pain the suffering and nobody can break you out...

finally someone who don't "make a track nostalgic" by adding just reverb, filtering and making slower

This song reminds me of early 2000s, life was different back then way different. The internet wasn't berserk like it is now. I remember running in autumn leaves, catching snowflakes, running in sprinklers on a hot summer day, and smelling the freshly bloom flowers in spring. I cherish those memories hard, asking why everything had to change.

I’ve seen so many comments about people wishing they could go back to 2019 or before something happened like the loss of a father or the death of a grandmother. Personally, I wish I could go back to when I had some sense of happiness in this fvcked up world, before my girlfriend dumped me. She apparently had been planning to do it for a while, according to a friend. I struggle with the fact that she may have been planning to leave me long before our one year, which was fairly recently. She wrote me a poem and everything. I almost cried when I read it. But now I feel like it was fake. And what hurts is not knowing how much of it was fake. I just feel so... lost. She was about the only thing keeping me from being suicidal. Thank god for my friends, now they have to fill in as my tether. They now have the responsibility to keep me grounded, because I never could on my own. The day after she dumped me, I seriously was contemplating suicide, but then my friend drove all the way to my house for more than 2 hours just to make sure I was okay. If it wasn’t for him, I may have killed myself that morning. She left me 4 days ago, and I already miss it so much. But life goes on. And so will I. Because I know people care. A lot. And everyone needs that. So to whoever needs to hear it, whoever may be reading, no matter how bad it gets, no matter how hopeless it may seem, someone does, and always will care. Love you all.

Happy memories become sad knowing you wont be able to experience them once more.

This reminds me of how I used to think friendship lasts forever.

*Everything goes fast, everything ends, but don't cry, just remember the memories, and keep them with you. These memories aren't just memories. They are our home, where we are safe.* -Unknown

“It may seem very shallow but a shallow cut still stings” -A wise man Now, a moment of silence for our beloved memories

*"You died."* -[Respawn]- [Back to main menu]

I miss the days after school playing Minecraft on my realm, getting excited when I see how many of my online friends joined... I miss it so much, I would do anything to go back.

this feels unsettling and calming at the same time. it feels like the world ended and the very last person is on their last breaths, and they play this out of their favourite tape one more time as they watch all their friends and family fade into nothingness. when the song ends, the last person finally lies in peace.

Trust is the hardest thing to find and the easiest to lose. -Unknown

"Don't be sad that something is ending, be happy that it happened at all" -unknown

"honey, you've been smiling ever since things got rough, everythings okay?" *"they told me to say 'cheese!' to make their day, but I've been doing it my entire life yet I cant seem to find a tint of happiness on their face."*

idk y'all but after 2019 nothing feels real anymore, nothing is like used to be. 2019 was the best year of my entire life and this reminds me of it

The saddest thing of nostalgia is that when we think about something that appened when we we're kids, we only remember the moment but if you could revive it...

The days wherein you were careless were truly something special

Omg please do a nostalgic version for “goodbye to a world” it would be super sad Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS!!

[CONGRATULATIONS] You finally done it! You completed the entire game! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND PATIENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT ON THIS GAME WE ARE VERY PROUD HOW OUR GAME TURNED OUT AND WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT AS MUCH AS WE DID ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU!! (Continue Playing?) [Yes] or No *Don’t feel discouraged there’s a lot more from where this came from this is not the ending*

When you Were a kid you always wanted to be older.. Now you want to come back to your childhood.-Unknown

Sometimes when i was little i would just sit outside on a nice summer day and i know that i’ll never get that back

Does this song give anyone else a really guilty feeling but its also calming?

if i ever had a friend i would give them everything i am, because they’re everything i have.

the lyrics for teh legendary song "I AM JUST A FISH" : don't drown me just help me swim away into a world of calmity don't die I am just fish I am just a fish I am just a fish I am just a fish my mind is watery only a fish in my eyes I see a fish every time I see you I see just a fish I am just a fish I am just a fish I am just a fish ty for the 2 likes guys I rly appreciate it ))

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened - Dr Suess

this has been a song i've held close to my heart for years, and I always love these nostalgic edited audios. thank u for making this .

I feel like this would play when we die as the ending credits and depending on how good your life was is how the credits will look like, and all the people who played roles in your life will pop up and a “Thank you for playing our game!” Will fade in at the very end, and then you wake up in paradise.

I'm sick and overthinking life This is a good tune to question reality to in my fever dreams

This version gives me and extra kind of nostalgia I feel claustrophobic I cant go anywhere I'm here with my life and I need to accept it

lyrics: Don't kill me just help me run away From everyone I need a place to stay Where I can cover up my face Don't cry, I am just a freak I am just a freak I am just a freak I am just a freak My head is filled with parasites Black holes cover up my eyes I dream of you almost every night Hopefully I won't wake up this time I won't wake up this time I won't wake up this time I won't wake up this time

To the person who read this, It’s been hard for you, I know, and it makes me sad that you don’t see yourself in the way I see you. Sometimes they are things in life that cause us to loose ourselves, and the way you have is so unimaginable painful. I miss your smile, the way your eyes light up the whole room just by the sound of your laughter. I miss the way you accepted the way you look in the mirror without cursing yourself out about how ugly you look. I miss the way you didn’t think of yourself as a failure because everyone makes mistakes, we all have flaws and we all aren’t perfect. It’s painful to see that no one around you seems to see the pain trough your eyes, but, stranger, I do, I see how heavy your heart is and how comforting the sadness for you might be, how afraid your heart is of happiness because it disappears in the end, right? You don’t know how much impact you have in this world and it’s sad to see that your demons fight against you and want to take over you. Because you do make change, it’s something so simple and little that brightens up someone’s whole world, it can be a small smile from your lips, the way you look at things you’re passionate about, the way you make yourself eat even though it’s been hard for you lately, the way you zoom out and go in your own world, you brighten up my world by reading this, it means a lot to me that you’re here, existing, but I don’t want you to just exist, you deserve to feel alive. You deserve to get up in the morning and feel good about yourself. You deserve to feel something- to feel every damn second alive in this lifetime. It’s heartbreaking that you think you’re not capable of being loved, because you are, I love you trough all my words and I hope you let it happen in your heart. Love is scary, I know, maybe you heart had been broken once and since then you wanted to be rather numb than feel ever again, it hurts me how you punish yourself, does it not deserve love? Because YOU DO deserve love, please forgive yourself, it’s not your fault that the demons want to take over your beautiful heart. You’re not a bad person for distancing yourself from others, but you deserve someone to talk to, you deserve someone to listen. I am listening, you can tell me what’s wrong. It’s everything, isn’t it? There’s something pulling your heartstrings on the ground and no one seems to understand how misunderstood you feel, it’s heartbreaking to know that I am behind the screen and can’t give you a hug, that’s why I will give you a big warm virtual hug and send you lots of love :). You matter. You are worthy. You are loved. You deserve good things. You deserve someone to listen. You deserve to eat and drink. You deserve to feel good and alive. You deserve to smile. You deserve a hug. You deserve to be all the things you want to be, because you deserve to have and feel good things happening to you and have a fulfilled life. I know I might not know you personally but I care about you so much, I write this because I want you to stay here with me, I want you to hold on a little longer because you matter so much to me, because I will not let you give up on yourself. I want you to see that you should not give up on yourself because you DESERVE GOOD THINGS. I want you to look back on the time when you were a kid, you didn’t give up when you tried to swim for the first time, you didn’t give up when you tired to walk for the first time and fell, you never gave up on yourself, you always kept on pushing forwards, so why can’t you now? I know it’s tiring, your mentally tired, but dont your younger self deserve good things? look back at your eyes that used to be full of hope, look back on those dreams. Don’t let yourself fall, you deserve better. We will both fight, I will fight for you. I won’t let those demons get to you. You can hold on to me, I won’t let you down :). Whenever you feel lonely, then look at the sky, I always look at it and think about you. Yes, you, because it makes me happy that there’s someone looking right back, maybe we can’t see each other but I can feel your presence here with me and that’s enough for me, because I am glad your heart is beating and you’re still fighting. You’re so much stronger thank you think, you didn’t leave your spot on this earth even if you wanted to, you belong here, even though it doesn’t feel like it, when you don’t feel like belonging than build your own home here, put all your love in it and dreams. Think of you as a star when you feel alone, you shine because your heart is good, no matter what mistake you made, no matter about the past you had, you’re one of the stars that shine bright in the universe because you’re heart is beautiful, that’s why the demons in your mind wants to have it. As one of the stars you see others stars, maybe they have felt the same way as you do at some point in there life, but they lighten up the universe with each other’s presence. You’re a star for me, maybe you don’t see it yourself but I can see it, you’re beautiful from inside and out, your body is beautiful the way it is. You make me happy by reading this, you make me feel something by your presence and when you can make me feel that way than you also make other people feel that way about you too. I hope you stay for yourself and don’t let your story get written by others but by yourself, it’s your story not theirs. As you can see, I say a lot of “I hope” because I have hope for you even if you don’t have it for yourself, I see hope in you even though you might want to give up. That’s why I hope you won’t see the world in darkness and will see it colorful again, I hope I will give you a glimpse of hope and make the world you see a bit colorful for today. My favorite color is yellow, and I hope the next time you see the color yellow you will think about my words. If someone left you than don’t blame yourself, don’t think you weren’t enough, don’t lower yourself for someone who couldn’t see the awesomeness in you. If you lost someone I am so sorry for your loss, they want you happy, I hope you don’t feel guilty or regret because you were there, you spend enough time with them, they want you to be happy. They are in a good and safe place now. If someone broke your heart than I am so sorry that they couldn’t see the way you look so beautiful because of the heart you have. Anyone who gets to be with you, doesn’t know how fucking lucky he/ she/ they is :). If you aren’t accepted at home or in general than I am so sorry that you have to deal with someone/ something you shouldn’t be ashamed of, I accept you and support you, I accept you as a human being no matter what race, religion, nationality, skin color, or sexuality you have. You’re safe here with me :). You’re not useless, you’re not a burden to anyone. You’re not a problem, you’re human and your feelings are valid. You’re not being dramatic. Please don’t starve yourself, you deserve food and to drink, I know it’s hard. It hurts to see that you’re in so much pain :( you deserve so much man, don’t let your emotions control you. Don’t let them get the best of you. I am sorry no one is noticing, I wish /hope I could take your pain away for today or even for a moment while you’re reading this. If no one told you, I am so proud of you, you’re reading this and it’s enough for me to be proud of you because you’re here and that’s all that matters to me. If it’s night for you, go to sleep, I know it’s hard to fall asleep right now but you deserve a good sleep. If you have nightmares, please, don’t let them fight you. If it’s day for you, don’t start it by such sad music, I know it’s impossible to have a good day with such mindset but take baby steps, start by drinking two cups of water everyday in the morning and so on.. You will start building little healthy habits. If it’s evening for you, you’re probably overwhelmed and stressed, I want you to know it’s okay to feel the way you feel. You don’t need to be scared, of course you’re overwhelmed or stressed, I mean who wouldn’t? But it’s important to know that when you feel that way you should do a little self care, such as taking a bath for example? You deserve to feel at ease and relaxed. And if you are somewhere in between I hope you know that you’re so strong for breathing despite the pain, I know you will make it :) I believe in you. All I want for you is to stay here, I really mean all my words, even if there is a lot of unsaid things I want to tell u and my text is getting longer and longer,I want you here. I hope one day your smile will become a genuine one where you don’t need to fake it anymore, because I can’t say this enough, you deserve a good smile and to feel alive. You’re worth more than every fucking cent in this world. You can let go for today, I got you, you can cry your heart out as much as you want, but don’t let it tear you down and let your emotions control you by giving up. Crying is not weakness. If you still feel alone I dedicate you a song as your friend. “Dusk till Dawn- Zayn feat. Sia (I prefer the slow version)” I hope you can think of me and will remind yourself of my words, I will for sure think of you. In case no one told you and you’re unsure yourself, you’re a good person and I am so happy you’re here. I hope this is enough to stay today, tomorrow will be a new day, a new start, let go now. Enough with beating yourself up for today, okay? Life for those who couldn’t, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there’s no other, hug like its your last one. If you read all of it, until tomorrow my friend :) have a good day and great years. I love you so much and am so proud of you, I hope you will remember my words- becho, the stranger that cares more about you than anything :)

This video is going to be 3 years old this year.. To older generations and even gen alpha, this video compared to the comments may seem silly or exaggerated or even stupid, but to us this is a memory This is a song that we've known for so long, whether it be from KZfaq shorts, edits on TikTok, memes on many platforms, on your repeat playlist on Spotify, etc And this mix of it is just a reminder that time only goes forward, not backwards, and we can either waste it by focusing on what's already happened or we can use it by focusing on what could and will happen We can appreciate the good parts of the past and acknowledge the bad parts, but if we ever want to move on we have to accept that things won't stop just because we want it to, that even if we miss the old things and times there will be new ones that we can learn to love just as much

I was clicking on this video like there is no way you can capture nostalgia from a non nostalgia song but I am almost in tears

This song feels so… comforting. It’s like there are no responsibilities and problems in my life anymore, like my parents are about to go out somewhere and I can call my friends to have fun together, like I’m 10 or 11 again, when life seemed so simple, when I was so clueless yet so happy…. I know that this is nostalgia and the past wasn’t that perfect but it definitely sounds better than the shit I go through past these two years. Sometimes even little things like this song take me out from the cruel and hopeless reality, making me think that it’s not all that bad, that I don’t have to die, even if I really want to…

I'm actually almost crying TvT The amount of nostagia in this piece of art is incredible

“ a memory is just a reminder that nothing lasts forever ”

“We didn’t realize we were making memories,we just knew we were having fun” -Winnie the Pooh

POV: you logged in a old acc "you came back after 13 years..." "you see half of your friend's are gone." "half of your items are gone." "your favorite friend quits the game" "you look at everything you earned gone.." "your favorite games everything" "the community is starting to get toxic" "you have no hope anymore" "the music just keeps playing."

I say this coming from the bottom of my heart. This is how I feel on the inside. An empty shell of a once girl who used to be so happy. Where did she go? They went off to a world called guilt, they never imagined themself like this. But guess what after being left from the person they loved most. They are now just nothing. I love this btw, it's my favorite song and this is a master peace! Keep up the good work!

The feeling of how I was 8 and I always treated other people disrespectful because I thought of my bully when I was 5 and always thought I was defending myself yet I was just hurting people like my bully.I also wish when I could go back as 9 when I had so much people to share with but yet it’s to old to tell them now sense it’s been so long.always try and make the best memories while you can because time runs out and once it’s too late your never able to go back and keep those good memories with you because that’s not just our memories,it’s our home,our home where we are safe -a man that has experienced the worst time in life and is still living it😖

Im not old enough to have much nostalgia from this but this reminds me of March 2022 when I used to listen to this song on repeat. I don’t want to go back there, I don’t want to go back to any time of my time tbh. All of them have some dark thing going on. Whether abuse, my parents divorce, grooming, mental illness, etc.. But this reminds me of sitting in that one almost sound proof room in my house. I was surrounded by paint, clay and my iPad playing random KZfaq videos to listen to while painting. No need to think about anything else. Just having fun.

This little tune floods your head with memories of what once was... despite the bittersweetness of this song, you are filled with DETERMINATION

Don’t cry for what you’ve lost or failed to do. Cry for the fact that the good memories will never repeat again

Your first day of independence, sitting on the bed of your apartment and thinking of your childhood and how far you’ve come.

"Appriciate your best teamate yet ever until you never see him" -A true gamer

This 8-bit song made cry while I remembering that my youngest brother won't return anymore. He's been dead for almost 12 years and it still hurts, realizing that you'll never be able to watch him grow up into a beautiful, caring person. He should've turned 15 this year... I'm in pain, every single day of my life. No matter how hard I try to forget, to move on, it'll never happen. I don't want to feel pain anymore, I don't want to feel hurt anymore by those memories. I just want to live a happy life, that's something I always wanted.....

"never shame who you are, just appreciate how unique you are" -smil (2021-2022)

Time really flies by its already 2024 I love these types of videos because they remind me that I still have a life

The year is about to end, it sure does tick fast, the memories that happened in this year, or in other years of our lifetime, sure does feel nice to reminisce it, but sad because we won't experience it again.

I've heard this but I don't know where, I can feel my eyes water and my throat close as memories flood back of my nine, ten, and eleven year old self talking to random strangers online, making friends, and hoping with my heart that I made their day, made a change in their life, and I still do. Goddammit, Dancing Darkness, HightechBlue, I miss you guys so much, please come back to the clan, I've missed you so much. Sam, Maria, I love you guys so much, thank you for changing my life, I wouldn't be here if I never met you guys. :,)

Just found this song on my recommendations, and decided to give it a go, and just wow, this sounds beautiful. I don’t know which video game or movie or fandom it’s from, but it’s so relaxing and subtle. This reminds me of when I was 5 or so, and nothing mattered more in the world than the toys I got and what happened on the playground. Sad man. Never heard this song in my life and it makes me have feelings I almost never have.

This feels like replaying a game and remembering that you will never feel the enjoyment excitement and surprise that you felt when you first played the game

"Whoever goes to sleep with itchy bum, wakes up with smelly finger" -some wise guy

If a slightly slowed version isn't playing when the world ends, I'm reversing time to give ppl a second chance to play this

I AM JUST A FISH

Being a kid is just wonderful... I've been playing my friends.. we we're having so much fun. Perfect nostalgia.
