*don't forget to drink water and get some sleep love you!*

listening to lofi for hours every night instead of sleeping

A couple years back there was this girl that I thought was really really cute in middle school, and I really liked her. I was a shy, chubby, and quiet kid and could never summon the courage to talk to her, so I didn't for years. Not until highschool. I forgot exactly how but I finally started to talk to her around the 10th grade during summer break. We texted, snapchatted, and talked constantly. All day and every day nonstop. She was nice, edgy, and had a quirky personality. Over the course of that summer we became really close pretty much best friends. School finally started and we began to hang out a lot and I would see her almost every day, and every time I saw her my heart would begin to race and I would get nervous. I was starting to REALLY like this girl. She even came over to my house once and we ate and she met my mom and my brothers as well, and I drove her home that night even though I didn't have my license at the time. I remember when I dropped her off her mom was literally standing outside the house waiting for her because it was really late LOL. Over the course of the next month or 2 it was the same thing pretty much. We continued to talk and hangout, all the while my feelings grew for her but I could never tell her about them... I was too scared. Then one day, about 2/3 months into the school year my mom and dad hit me with the bomb that we were moving a couple hours away into the big city. I was angry, scared, and sad. I finally met a girl that I really liked and genuinely enjoyed being around, and now we were moving. I remember my last day there I went to a football game and hung out with her for a bit. We just talked, watched the game, and hung out, and that was the last time I saw her. Once I moved we still talked, but it slowed down and became less and less because she actually ended up getting a boyfriend a couple months after I moved. You could say I was devastated, but I couldn't show it. Over the next couple years we checked in on each other, but the talking went from everyday to once a week to once a month to eventually a couple of times a year. I had moved, gained new friends, and I actually lost weight, got in shape, and started to actually care about my self image so girls were starting to actually notice me. So I had gained some confidence you could say. Once I had graduated I started going to parties and hanging out with different girls all the time, and all the while my dumbass would post this stuff. This whole time I still thought about her and still liked her, so I would then messages her to see how she was doing, not knowing this would be the last time. I messaged her and we started talking about how we were doing and she brought up how she noticed that I had been partying and hanging out with a lot of girls lately, and that made me feel really stupid and made me regret even posting that stuff. I then asked her how her and her boyfriend were doing (it had been almost 2 years at this point), and she replied with "we broke up." When I read that message I literally jumped for joy because I knew I could now finally have my chance. We talked a little more and I finally just let it all out. I told her how much I like her and that I've had feelings for her ever since that summer years ago. I told her that I've wanted to be with her this whole time but I couldn't because she was with someone else and that I had been waiting this whole time. She would then tell me that she doesn't feel the same way. I felt like shit knowing that I was too late and when I look back at it now that I'm a little older I could see that she most likely also liked me back before I moved and I should have confessed to her then, but it was too late. I was too late. A couple years later in the present day. I still follow her on everything, but we haven't talked since then. She has a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend that I love very much and she loves me very much. So all in all everything did end up working out okay, but every now and then I'll think about her and what could have been if I had just told her how I felt and if I wasn't too late. Anyways the main reason I'm writing this is to just say, go out and do it. Go out and tell that girl/guy how you feel, go out with your friends, go to that football game, go do stupid stuff with your friends and stay out late even though you have curfew and a HW assignment to finish, go out and have fun, go out and live. Because the last thing you want is for a couple years to pass by and when you look back at the past the 1st thing you think about is "what if." 11/14/19 Edit: Thanks for all the positive feedback I really appreciate it 😭. This is an actual story from my life not something I’ve made up. I was just listening to sad Lofi music one night and it made me think about my past and I typed my heart out so to hear how many people love it really makes me happy (: . Good luck to any of y’all who are dealing with any type of tough situation in their life currently, you’ll get through it

When I was 16, I met a girl who was in a pretty rough relationship. I pretty much became her therapist after a while. I learned all about her and I tried so hard to connect them together and to change to the person she was with, but in the end I caught feelings for her since she was the first girl that really ever understood me as a person. She soon caught feelings for me too since I was the nicest guy she ever knew that cared for her. I'm almost 20 now and we've been together since. I can't wait to marry her someday.

Listening to Lofi at night while it rains is really beautiful

Lofi video comments are so calming, open and everyone loves everyone. Such a true wonder and blessing

I wanna meet everyone rn and chill with them on a cold fall day. Eatin good, drinking drinks and talking about how ridiculous life can be. Talking hours and hours making new friends and hang out every weekend. Driving late night to McDonald‘s and having the best conversations of my life. Sometimes i miss people even when i don’t know them. Stay positive out there and spread some love. You’re something special don’t give up.... good night 🌙 ~ L.A 1:39 AM...

This comment section is just so full of wholesome people. I haven’t felt warmth from reading something so simple. Yet beautiful. I wish every single one of you nothing but love. Also don’t forget to put on your seatbelt.

I want to disappear. Not like death. More like escaping into a void. I just want everything to be okay.

~is there just something about 3 am, autumn and soft distant music in the background, that makes you feel so damn much? you're just in your blanket, the wind whistling outside and here in your mind's eye, nostalgia and melancholy play a tune and waltz in sync. you feel the familiar throb deep in your soul. It's a paradoxical feeling, like you're carrying the weight of everything you've ever known within you, but you're also floating weightless, breathing in the midnight air. and it's okay. it's okay to be in two places at one time, it's okay to be confused, unsure, questioning. vulnerable. it's okay. just know that you belong. even in the silence of the night, the darkness of the sky, the wind still whispers and the stars still shine. you are meant to be here, in this moment, not to be anything, but to just be. exist. a beautiful being; soil, stardust and spirit, an essential life sewn into existence. breathe, my love. you are so precious.

i am at the attic. i am sitting in a big, comfortable chair, and in front of me is a table i am wearing a sweater and jogging pants from my dad. it is way to big for me, but i don't care. it makes me feel safe in this world. next to me is an enormous window. it is raining. i am listening to lofi music on my open laptop, and tea and some cookies are next to me. i want to stay in this excact moment. i am making homework on my laptop, and it is going very well, actually. i'm not stressed. it will be fine. will it? it will be fine.

*Anyone here just wants to have someone to stay up late night and just talk about life?* let all the reply be a comment/chat box

It's not quite sad time once again boys . . . I understand how difficult life can be: The constant regret of the past, stress from the present, and worry for the future - it's enough to make an individual give up, collapsing and accepting of whatever begets them. Yet, despite all the hardships that you have been through - losing friends, family, fragments of ourselves and the futures we once looked to - you are still here, having experienced another day in a life that is sometimes too much to bear. For that, I truly am sorry - you deserve everything good that can come from living, but instead receive much of the bad. Despite the words I state now, that only means that there is still so much joy and happiness to experience, and that from overcoming these obstacles you are that much closer to the good times. I will not lie - It will be difficult, and I do not blame you for becoming down or seemingly defeated; The difference, however, is whether you get back up or not, and I have faith - trust - that you will. If anything else, take a drive out at night - you may never know what you may find. Until then, in the mean time, listen to some music. Enjoy.

The lofi community (can I call it that? I mean, I guess that’s kinda what it is) is so nice and supportive. It’s like an oasis in the midst of all the internet strife. Because, ultimately, even the people who are mean online are people; people seeking comfort and happiness, just like everyone here. It’s like this particular kind of music has created a feeling that doesn’t necessarily draw one type of person here, but anyone who’s in the mood to listen to it. And because of this you get a wide variety of people here. People who are tired. People who are sad. People who are searching. We’re all different. But, hey. We’re all human. And I want nothing more than for you all to be happy. Not just happy, but healthy. Life is rough. So. So. Rough. Like... damn. I never knew it could be like this. But hang in there, whoever you are. I’ve got you. We’ve got you. Goodnight, guys.

Actually out in the middle of nowhere, on my bike, listening to this, it's 3:19am, it's cold and feels like rain, the sound of engine blending with the music.. it's a blessing, I don't even Wana reach the destination.

Sometimes I feel like people from comments r my homies

As an introvert,I find this music very comforting,until the ad for dental heath blares out of nowhere.

headphones in, problems out. music is the best way to escape from reality. just put on some good tunes and let yourself drown into the vibe. just close your eyes. you can wait till it's dark outside, for a better impression of aesthetic and nostalgia. nobody's outside, it'll be easier to feel like you're alone in this world. alone, but not lonely. what a great feeling.. you can also open your bedroom's window, smoke a cig maybe. light raindrops dripping on your already wet cheeks. what a peaceful night. don't think about anything negativ. just make the most of this moment. travel through the colourful mind of yours, the music in your ears will guide you. everything's hella fine. until tomorrow comes.

Hey you Yes you I love you no matter who you are. Just be happy and positive okayy. Everything is gonna be alright if God will. Dont lose hope in yourself and keep your relationship with God. He knows the best for you. So dont you dare to be sad. I LOVE YOU.

Love how everyone seems so positive in this comment section.

1 am on the secluded road. a light rain taps your car windows. a car passes every few mins. listening to the gentle lofi beat. forgetting your problems and life. you relax. first time you have in a few months. and it's lovely.

Listening to lo fi while driving is a peaceful thing to do especially at sunrise or sunset Edit: Wow I’ve never had so many people support me thx so much for the likes!

I was listening to his while doing my homework when my cat came in and fell asleep on my notebook, purring. I think he approves.

This video popped up in my recommended & honestly some of these comments have helped me. I’m really not in a good place whatsoever.. sometimes I feel as if it’s too much and idk. Thank you for those of you who try to help others.. no matter how you do it. You’re a good person and thank you.. just the words you’ve commented have made me feel a little better.. anyways. Have a good night

Guys never drive tired. Stay safe

It's 1 AM, wife's asleep. The last cold bites of dinner are still on my plate, the world is dark outside, the last drops of my drink are drying in the bottom of the glass. I should be up in bed but instead I'm down here, reminiscing. Tired, but sleepless. I shouldn't have had that late coffee. In these late quiet hours I think back and remember, think on how I got here, the good and the bad, and where I wanna go. Sometimes its happy, but sometimes I only think back and feel the shadow of a forgotten sadness. It's a weird feeling, almost a nostalgia amongst all my other nostalgias. Bootleg, I love your mixes. You might be the best of the 'one off' lo-fi channels (as in, non-streaming). Thanks for being there, to make these moments perfect, regardless of how we're feeling at the time. Lo-fi, red eyed, gin and tonic, and the ticking of the wall clock. Recipe for how night should be spent.

I din\dnt even light up today band I feel so mental listening to this lofi. Thats why I love this genre and the internet communities I feel a part of every time I listen to a channel. People comment "don't forget to drink water. I love you!" is just the kind of community we need in the world. I hope everyone spreads the love of lofi hiphop

I’m new to the Lofi community and oml all I can say is I LOVE the positivity and peace in the comment section. There are no politics, no petty arguments, no judgement, just each other lifting another up.

I wish I can meet all the people that loves lofi,rains..and mostly nature

I love the comment section in this video. For that I feel like I also have some words to share. Hope this message finds you all well. Dear you, You've changed. You've grown. A lot. You've been through a lot. Your capacity to love and your endurance on the hardships of love and life have exponentially grown. You're doing just fine. Yes you've developed many defence mechanisms that may have made you more complex. But you've got to learn to accept the feelings that you feel. Stop trying to normalise everything. Stop always denying your feelings. You are entitled and have the right to feel what you feel. Stop overthinking your feelings; stop over-feeling your thoughts. Perhaps you're not that wishful thinking, naive, hopeless romantic person you once were. But don't lose that side of you. Remember who you were before all that pain. You may not fall in love too easily anymore, but don't be too hard and tough on yourself. It's okay to not be okay. Move at your own pace. For as long as you still breath, you have a 100% winning streak. Be kind, especially to yourself. The only person you'll never be able to get away from is yourself. So learn to live and love you. Your capacity to love another is measured by your capacity to love yourself. Sincerely, You.

Anybody else likes the visual? I think it's so perfect.

This music makes me want to open up and talk so ig I will A few months ago in June of 2019 I met this girl. Absolutely wonderful. We went on a few dates and we talked all the time. I was still a very shy person and was always thinking I’m not good for her or anything along those lines. One day we were walking along the shores of Lake Michigan and she asked me how I feel about her. So I told her “ I really really like you, you mean the world to me” she said the same thing back to me so I knew she and I were going to get together in an actual relationship. A week later and nothing really changed. We were still talking all the time and that Friday I was going to ask to be in a relationship with me. I found out from one of her friends that she got a bf. She never told me that. It really hurt and I had to have an answer. So I asked. She said that I friend zoned her. So in my mind it was just miscommunication. I told her how I felt about her and she said that she has those feelings too but she never acted on them. I waited for her. a few months later so now it’s about October and and she broke up with him. He was toxic and I was thinking “ok. I have a chance and you better not fuck this up” we started to hang out more, laugh and smile, go on long walks and enjoy time with each other. I opened up to her on my feelings for her and her word back were “you mean so much to me, you make me so happy and I love spending time with you. We click on a whole other level that I’ve never clicked with someone before”. At that moment we decided to share our life stories (I won’t share most of hers bc if she’s somehow reading this I don’t want her to be angry at me for sharing a secret) but she told me a part of her life she was with this guy named Evan and they dated in Highschool and stuff and the got an Appartement together after they graduated. He was an awful person towards her. He was abusive and raped her. 3 weeks after moving in with each-other he brought back another girl with him. She left him a day later. Fast forward to the time we were opening up to each other, we finished out stories and I took her home and we kissed goodnight. It was the best kiss we had so far. I kept thinking about her all the time. I was in love to the perfect person. I then come to find out when I was at my friends Appartement at the local university she was at the apartment across the street with that ex bf Evan. They got back together again. Even after all he has done to her they got together again. Nights like these listing to this music makes me wonder why she chose him over my. How was I worse than him? I never hurt her and never could. I truly cared for her. Idk where I went wrong and hopefully someone reading this will help me figure out why I was thrown out to the curb by someone I loved

title: "listening to lofi while driving at night" me: sees keys, not in the ignition me:

It can be hard to speak out even when your voice trembles, to reach out to others while your hands shake and keep moving forward when you stumble with every step. The darkest of times carry the greatest lessons. It is then most important to open your mind and your heart. Don't fear the shadows, all shadows are cast by light.

Whoever sees this, I want you to take the time to look at how you're doing at this moment. Are you being who you want to be? And content with who you are? I know it can feel like the whole world is pushing you down with stress, maybe from college, high school, or just social/family issues. But trust me, please believe me when I say it gets better. When you start to accept who you are and what you need to do for yourself, life becomes so much nicer. I truly believe that every single person in this world deserves to be happy because it's the best thing in the world. I hope you can come to let the stress go and be content, have a soothing night/day

This just made me miss my cat even more. He’s been missing for almost two days😓

who else loves the street lights passing you

This kind of Music sends me every time to another better planet

First lofi I ever listened to. My life has changed for the better, thank you.

No matter where u r or when it is, lofi always somehow sets the mood and the community here is always so comforting

*Listening to lofi while regretting all of my choices*

Can't wait to get a car and drive with this on

It's 3 a.m in 2020 ... heavy rain outside .. Are there people here? Be calm everyone . 💙 Edit: One year ago .. Dont worry Edit2: the end of 2021 .. be happy please Edit3: Its the end of 2022 Here on 17/11/2022 Be okay everything will be good😴

I really missed going out and drive at night to lofi tunes. it's such a pleasant feeling, with all the light, and a mild rain too.

Our time was so brief, and we were never anything serious, but I have dreams about her all the time. I hope she's happy, wherever she is out there. I wonder if I'm stuck in her head the same way.

Tracklist: 0:00 Mondo Loops - Morning Dreams 3:24 mell-ø - dreamin' 5:07 SLEEPWALKERS - half hearted 7:27 SLEEPWALKERS - lost thought 11:03 Mondo Loops - Hazey Blue 14:43 purrple cat - Whispers In The Dark 17:32 WYS - close my eyes

do you know that when you smile, you don't breathe? hopefully, i tricked you into smiling.

7:05 wow that was nostalgia. I also remember hearing “I’m sorry, the call cannot completed as dialed, pleas hang up and try again.”

I'm in the middle of nowhere, still have 4 hours to drive to reach my house 💝 it feels so surreal that you posted it right now... Damn You bootleg

I sill remember listening to lofi while driving away, after saying bye to my friends in Wisconsin for the last time...

My grandfather just passed away. I was really close to him. This music reminds me of how much i love him.

Thanks for listening everyone! 💜🐱

Lofi is the best thing to listen to while driving. 🛣️

I started listening to lofi music a few weeks ago, and I wished I did it earlier! It's so calming and it really helps me when I'm studying :)

I love how everyone is just high and chilling it feels like we’re all friends and we don’t even know eachother💜👍💜

Not sure if anyone is going to read this but I just wanna say I'm proud of you . A lot of negativity and unnecessary pressure we have upon ourselves yet we still try to do our best for others. Idk when things will get better for myself but I have faith one day I'll wake up with no worries about the world and be happy . "Gotta be a Lion to be the Lamb you really are " I know my thoughts are all over the place lol just a lot on my mind .

i really dont want to be here. its getting harder and harder to keep this brave face on. your channel is the only thing that helps me atm, thankyou so so much

It's been a while since I last listened to you, Bootleg. This video doesn't disappoint, thank you so much for being there for us. ♥

This mix reminds me of my best friend. When I listen to this playlist, it reminds me of all the nights we spent driving around, having fun, and listening to relaxing lofi. We would often talk about stuff that was on our minds - our problems, our feelings, whatever we felt like. Every time we talked alone, it felt like it was just us in the world, and we could say whatever we wanted. There's something special about the conversations you have during night time. Those nights were some of the most relieving and freeing moments of my life. I felt like he was the one person I could tell anything. He enlisted in the military, and I'm going through college. I knew it was coming, and honestly, I didn't feel much of anything when he left. It felt weird because he wasn't there obviously, but I never really felt sad or longing. It just felt weird to me because my best friend had suddenly left, after being there for my entire life. Listening to this mix takes me back to some very happy memories with him. We listened to a lot of Lo-fi, and for some reason, he liked this mix a lot. My other friend expressed his dislike for it, but he didn't care. He never had any problems having his own opinion. He just enjoys his life, and lives it how he wants to. I sincerely hope that in the military, he is still doing just that. And every time I listen to this mix, I will always remember the joyful memories, the fun nighttime drives, and I will miss him. Thank you.

This vid introduced me to Lofi, the very first that I listened to, and what I know now is I can't get off of Lofi... And this playlist is still the best to me I can listen to it all day and night.. Thanks Bootleg Boy... Lofi helps me ease my stress...

For the ones that listen this and are feelin sad or numb, stay strong king. Good times will come. I hope you find the happiness you deserve. Remember; nothing heals the past like time.

listening to this while I figure out my life...

Listening on my night jog, when the sun is going down, but still bright enough to see , it’s the best feeling 😌 🎧

The lofi community is like the most peaceful community there is to exist, like there’s no drama, only support

This type of music is the music that makes you relax and watch the nice comments: Vaporwave. Lofi. Asthetic. Chillvibes. Jazzhop. Etc.

This isn’t to one specific person or group of people, however I feel it should be heard. I think we as a generation can do a lot better than we are currently doing; relationship wise. I think a lot of us jump into relationships for immediate pleasure instead of waiting for the right one that we truly deserve. Love isn’t a race... it never has been. The cool thing about love is you don’t have to chase it... it’ll come chasing you. Now whether you choose to wait for it, that’s up to you. Just know that in your darkest days and hours when you think that you are incapable of being loved, that you are.

The lofi is the only “non-toxic” and beautiful community on the internet, i love you guys

When the song finally make me calm and relaxing, that is when the tears fall down

I just need to see her. I just.... need to see her :/ “someday” i keep telling myself.. -someday.

everyone in this comment section is so wholehearted i love it :’)

Taking a slow walk through the city , relaxed , nowhere to be , nowhere to hurry . Listening to this art , just observing , everything

These comments are making me so happy and feel so loved thank you all you just made my night

These videos give me a relaxing euphoric high. Listening to these at 3 am while driving around at night is great

Listening to this... While... Feeling happy🙂 That 80smbs have RETURN (Cries tears of joy)

It's really great to know that there are people who share your same tastes and ideas, but it is sad to close yourself to the world and simply stay on a link where you know you don't belong. Let's be friends! 🍃☕ ~Colombia 1:50 AM~

Does anyone think how cool and amazing would it be to just be a cloud in the sky

sadly, its my last night stayin up till 1 am. meaning that i cant be early to your amazing uploads and looking at the positive comments. school starts, and so do my acticities. see yall on weekends. i love yall ♥

Another sad night and another great mix from Bootleg.💜

Listen to this while walkin outside at 3 am such good vibes 💚

Truly needed this today to clear my mind. I've been overthinking alot. Keep feeling like I messed up things with my girl always because I said I love her 😔😔😔

*This also really helps with deep thoughts.*

It’s amazing ready every comment while listening, they’re so peaceful, lovely it’s like hate doesn’t exist. Every body is different and special, some people are having hard times on their life but that’s okay 😕 everything is gon change soon or later, I know pain isn’t temporary. Some people just like the vibes that this music makes them feel and that’s okay I’m glad about it. Everybody had 24hrs today but we all did different things some of us had to work, others went out with friends/family/ people who loves them. But I hope we all had a good day and if anybody didn’t, maybe something happened, I’m so sorry! But think like this everything happens for a reason maybe something worse could have happened, the only thing that matters is that we are all here rn, anyway I just wanted to comment anything but this came out this is how I feel. I hope the best for you! Much love

I believe music can connect people, can spread peace, can bring even the smell of memories, can make you dream and hope tomorrow will be better 🤞

These guitar riffs are the one of it's best I have ever heard

listening to lofi while reading a book and drinking a cup of coffee ❤

Sept 8 is my birthday This is like a gift

I just realized that I watched this loop for like 5 mins and I'm not even bored

Im so in love with the ending for whispers in the dark, sooooo beautiful, gives me those sighs of enjoyment

Something nice for the sleepless night thanks again bootleg

My two favorite things Lofi Driving in mid night ♡

it’s 2:30am, can’t sleep. reminiscing on my life .

The lofi world is so peaceful. Everyone respects others ❤

I feel myself as a better person since I've started to listen this kind of music. Thanks y'all, u saved me from a sea full of shit and anxiety 🔉🎶

Whispers in the dark it’s one of my fav ever ❤️🖤

Of all the lofis, I always find my way back to this one❤️❤️ I love listening to it while basking in the early morning sunlight 😍😍👌🏾👌🏾

lofi late night is the best

Even though things seem to have finally settled down now, it still feels empty and incomplete for some odd reason

that feeling... that feeling of sadness, nostalgia and calmness... that is the power of lofi beats. keep making music. I love them

Man, nothing is more calming than this. This is paradise. I work so much basically all day everyday. I come home super late most times and almost everyday before I go to bed i smoke a joint and put on some lofi. It’s so chill. And it relieves my day to day stress. It’s hard having to deal with a lot of shit. Family, work, friends, life. It’s alot but this channel keeps me sane. And relaxed. Thank you so much for this.
