Omg the nostalgia is real. We had it all back then. Things may not feel the same anymore, but if you have young kids it is your moral duty to give them a childhood that they will fondly remember just as we remember ours. That’s how you keep the magic alive.
I know you think that sounds enlightened but it’s not. You could have a perfectly successful life and still yearn for simplicity sometimes. That’s normal!
When I see these videos…especially ones in the 90s I think about all my close relatives who were alive on this planet at the same time…in October of 1994 I had everyone I ever needed…now they’re all pictures on my wall and just memories of a time in life id die to go back to…
my brother died this week and I'm really feeling/fearing that. Guess along with loving those we have when we have them to love, it's also reason to keep being open to loving and sharing life with new people too.
Riding your bike in the dark, walking to a 7-ELEVEN, still able to play at the arcade, hanging out at the mall was cool. Still had books for school. Less peer pressure without smart phones.
i remember watching x files with my brother back then. it was so cozy. there was no cell phones or internet, so you felt good to be wherever you were. it was like there was no outside world. just you, and and whoever you were with, was the whole world and you felt complete. kids these days have no idea what that could have even felt like
"it was like there was no outside world. just you, and and whoever you were with..." - I know what you mean. Profound. I have teens now, with a couple years left living at home. I need to try to help create this feeling for them!
I miss The 90 so bad makes my eyes watery jut thinking about all the people i knew who were still here, and that certain smell and feel in the air that' hard to describe but you remember it.
Man I miss the 90s and the feeling so much 😔 So hard to live in today's times. I was born in 81. I remember neighborhoods looking like that. Lived in Canada between 93-99 and then moved back to Europe.
@@randomuser-nt9if Cost of living was easier due to the slower pace- with the era of technology creating wealth disparities, it only entrenched the rent-warfare more or less of outside interests on a global scale- landlords picking on other countries due to their lack of proximity and capacity to own estate/apartment industries. But that's just a guess, ya know? Can't paint the world's history in a single paragraph, not even with all the points of DNA. Also there's been significant work done against the Agricultural fields in the USA, currently there are hearings going on and I can personally vouch ohio meat went up by 2$ per pound within a few months during 2020 at least in Akron. They went for the free-veggie/produce markets to control food, and now a major portion of farmland will be turning over to new hands due to the lack of resources available to farmers including mental health assistance- so they have to sell to foreign mega-corps. . .. It's a slippery slope, we all gotta show more support and interest in schooling to get better crops, but then folks jack up access to that information and change the search algorithms... I'll leave it there- there are so many fronts we need to vocalize on, but right now my CPTSD can only handle chilling out for a moment. Figure you wanted a legit answer though. It's my best guess at 30 being raised by a father who lived through the Gulf war and on the heels of WW2. He married a Woodstock beatles lovin' HR woman. There used to be a pride in feeding our country, and that position was media'd into a field to be looked down on. Sounds like what they're doing to a lot of industries really. Westrock would know
@@randomuser-nt9if Oh and Ohio govenors have taken bribes from First Energy to jack up electricity costs for certain regions with a blind eye to it. Dewine has an article out on that... I can vouch again- even up to 2020 my electricity never dropped below 175 Summer or Winter - and as two lesbians there was not much we could ask for in regards for support. First time apartment- and we were pigeon holed and stuck there till it became too dangerous too much. Akron literally nearly killed us with the water quality (drinking rust, shutting down water facilities). I love where I am living now though people rev their motorcycles because it's a liberal college- and you can tell they're kinda doing it because of political opinions... We don't attend, but our apartment now is near to the road. same bike motors- I can tell differences between exhausts.... And they do it absolutely right in front of the church too at such levels- it hurts even with the windows closed! Yeah- ohio's rough- but moving from NY to OHio gave me a unique perspective of wealth issues and how it all gets controlled. Many Ohio families chose certain parts of NY for the education opportunites- but had issues when their kids gained "open love" affections. We used to think bombs were the worst thing on the heels of 9/11 (I can remember the smell still). Now it's how we treat one another. I know it's going to get better- we're not going to take a page out of Russia propaganda any longer.
Real talk, I was born in 1982 and the time in Germany up until the year 2000 was the most carefree time of my whole life. Nowadays you have to be afraid here in Germany and Europe no matter what time of day or night it is. My son started school this year and so what was actually a beautiful period of life has now become a safety risk. Back then you could let your children run around freely outside all day. You only came home for lunch, the main thing was that you were home on time in the evening. Every day was like an adventure and you still treated each other with respect on a personal level.
Crazy seeing these and being transported back man. I'm 32 now. I know I'm not "old" but it's still crazy. Going from a stary-eyed child to a depressed and lonely adult is crazy.
what most really can't see is WHO is really DOING this and WHO is "they"... And that's the reason why all of this is happening to us. Do you know who "they" are? Starts with a j - vvs
I am from Russia myself and we have never had landscapes like yours. Our houses are always behind high fences. I like the way it looks. I get some kind of phantom nostalgia for places I haven't lived in.
Some suburb neighborhoods like that were safe enough that you didn't need walls everywhere. Maybe chainlink fences to keep the dog in, but not walls that block the view.
I had just turned 12 in September and I loved that age. I remember playing outside all day/evening. Going on adventures with my siblings. Miss those days so much.
i love that i was a teen in the 90s, it was magical, it was so much better than it is today, i work with young people, so many are depressed, they are addicted to their phones--there's no balance
@@theguybehindyou4762 that's also only one of the causes - but you need to look deeper to root causes. A major 'root cause' is the decline in food and nutrient status, combined with increased toxins - which negatively affects parents and kids alike, and makes it more difficult for the parents to parent properly or even live their lives normally and healthily. A single nutrient deficiency can cause all sorts of problems physically and mentally, and most people have dozens of deficiencies which wont ever be diagnosed in their lifetime. The medical system is a bad joke.. It doesn't even test for these nutrients, or toxin exposure. It's a completely archaic system in comparison to where it needs to be.. And the food system needs to be revolutionized and all organic. The artificial shrinking of the middle class and inflation making it harder to live is another major root cause. It makes virtually everyone more poor, more depressed, more stressed, dull, angry, emotional etc. 70 years ago 1 person could sustain a household, now it's at minimum 3 people and you are still struggling.. Cant raise kids in this atmosphere properly. People are stretched thin from every angle.
I was 11 in 94, not a care in the word. We played video games on rainy days but would much rather be outside. Playing man hunt, climbing trees, going to the corner store and just hanging out. Riding bikes and just being in the company of friends but made sure I was home when the street lights came on. I remember I used to sit and look out my bedroom window and wonder what was going on in the world…
I am 25. Born 99. I wasnt even there 94. But I can feels the nostalgia the slight depressing craving feeling to back. So much has changed... even from 2019-2024. How time flys by....
One day I'm gonna inherit a pile of VHS tapes and an old VHS player from my parents. Hours and hours of recordings from 1986 to early 2000s. Christmas, Halloween, birthday parties. Summer cookouts. Long gone grandparents sitting in the corner smiling, waving at the camera from the seats of chairs I remember but couldn't tell you where they went, in the living room of my childhood home that's no longer ours. The inexorable thefts of time. One day it'll only be me and my cousins left, then one day it'll only be one of us, the last soul who ever REALLY knew about our little familial realm. Who tasted grandma's lasagna and smelled grandpa's pipe tobacco and who knew the energy of our Irish/Italian New Year's Eve parties on the old boulevard, in the house my mom grew up. Then the last soul will be gone and everything we ever were as a family unit will be memory, maybe preserved in recording or word documents, but who can say how long that'll last?
Excellent post, nailed it. If i may suggest, even before you inherit them, go get those VHS tapes converted to a USB. My dad passed last year and my mom, brilliantly, still had all our old home videos. She took them to a local video production company in town who converted them onto a USB. Priceless..
Don’t remember much from the mid 90s, but life seemed brighter, the grass and trees seemed greener, the summers seemed to last forever. Things definitely felt safer, calmer, life was ahead. I/ we all were curious about the world, excited to learn and try new things, we had goals and hobbies that usually involved being outside. Movies seemed more fun and innocent. I find myself longing for those days often, despite remembering very little. To those that used to jump in piles of leaves after fall as kids, cheers 🍻
Life was just simple, peaceful - people, family and relatives were connected. remember when you need a friend then just head to his house say Hi to his family not like now Tech is in a totally misuse, we lost every beautiful thing about life.
Try to quit Mobile phone .. return back to landline telephone .. try to read newspapers and Magazines... try to ride bicycle ... spend sometimes on beaches .. gardens... visit your firends... host your friends too .... go to puplic libraries... sleep early.. I think you will return back to 90s
In a wistful way, these were the most beautiful days of my life. But I don't want to go back. Because I didn't want to walk the path again until now, to the hard-fought progress in the spirit, for anything in the world. Rest well, past self!
@@mizv4043 I understand. But listen: I had a quite normal family and a quite normal upbringing. But I don't had a 'normal' time as an adult. It was a dark and empty way, a researching for a splinter of joy, starting to learn how to reach a haven, God's grace. Nothing is just normal, or ideal. I'm still longing ...
I'm confused about what to feel. At first glance, it feels so cozy and quiet, but on the other side, I remember THAT october(autumn) of two years ago, when I was the most happiest. It brings me back then, and I still don't know what to feel now while listening to this.
Man 1994, I was 14 and I had just moved to a small town in Illinois from Stanton California. Talk about a culture shock, I could go outside on my own and explore for the first time. I idolized my uncle as a child, he was semi pro surfer (he was in demos and got flow (boards and clothing), but still needed to maintain a fulltime job). I had long hair, never wore a shirt or shoes unless I was skateboarding, and my favorite color was hot pink. Illinois was dominated with Carhart Jackets, pull over Cowboys or Packers jackets, and bull cuts as far as the eye could see. I did trim my mane to match Jonathan Taylor Thomas as to blend in with the locals and chilled on the hot pink, but never adorned the Carhart or Cowboys pullover. The kids in Illinois all grew up with one another and most of there parents did the same, but I was new and different. I took some heat from some, but others were curious. When Tony Hawks Pro skater came out, more people would approach me as skateboarding became cool, but soon I stashed the board and started to explore the woods. Camping and fishing became my jam. Armed with my folding knife purchased from an Ace Hardware and yard sale fishing pole, I would escape into the woods for days in the summer. It was David, Joey, and myself. We would smoke our "squares" and talk about all the girls out of our leagues as if we had a chance. Man, those days were great; of course there were the not so great times for sure. Reply to this video if you had a similar story or if you just want to jaw jack about Orbiz or Sobe, Airwalk shoes, JNCO Jeans, Pogs, 90s obsession with aliens with the Roswell TV show or the hundreds of fads i am forgetting.
What an incredible story, thank you for sharing! It’s amazing how a change in setting, like moving from California to Illinois, can shape so many unforgettable experiences. From long-haired, hot-pink-wearing skater vibes to folding knives and fishing trips in the woods, your journey is such a vivid snapshot of the 90s. Tony Hawk was truly a game-changer for so many of us, and it’s funny how those shifts in trends brought people together in unexpected ways. Your adventures with David and Joey, camping out and dreaming big, sound like pure magic. It’s those simple, honest moments-like fishing with a yard-sale pole or laughing about crushes-that stick with us forever. As for the fads, oh man, the Sobe bottles, Pogs battles, JNCO jeans so wide they could double as parachutes, and the obsession with aliens (Roswell, X-Files... even Independence Day!). It all feels like a shared time capsule we all can dip into. Thanks for sparking some of those memories for me too. Here's to the 90s and everything it gave us-feel free to drop more stories anytime!
Waiting for the subway train at 4:00 am, to take me all the way downtown by 5:00 am to start my shift at the smoothie cafe. The glow of the streetlights give off a warm glow that makes me sleepy. The bumps in the subway car keep me awake. The beauty of life is about balance
The 90s really were the peak of the American experience. The onset of smartphones, social media and 24/7 news coverage carried us far away from this era.
@@rayzbalI agree 100%. We was never in a better place. From mid 00s onwards we started messing it up bit by bit & now it’s the worst it’s ever been. Certainly in my lifetime.
I was born in the 70's and just miss everything...The community. My old friends. School. All my relatives who are mostly gone and my mother who was my universe. Those leaves remind me of her sweeping them constantly off the walkway to the steps and off the veranda throughout autumn. Open the door and the aroma of her cooking would hit me at the front door! We had a bungalow so most cooking would be downstairs! 😂 Didn't think I'd be this triggered. 😥I'm such a sap.
I was one year old in oct 1994 and I remember looking out the window at everyone playing outside and this is exactly what it felt like.. I wish I was back in 1994
Early Halloween memory: Mid 90s. Me in a makeshift outfit that resembled Luke Skywalker's pilot suit, with my plastic pumpkin basket in one hand, and a pumpkin torchlight in the other hand. My younger brother in a baby stroller pushed by my parents. Some other kid in our group dressed as Davy Crockett and making a fuss because he misplaced his toy knife. One of my little cousins in a pink costume that might have been fairy themed. The candy collecting is a blur, but I remember us making it back to my aunt and uncle's old suburb house and enjoying a stack of Domino's pizzas and some 2-liters of coke and sprite while something played on the tv... What about you?
So cool! I remember having to guess where the gifts that I received from Christmas were hidden, in my aunt's house. They gave me a game cartridge from Mega Drive, and a big Lego kit. I was so happy then, I still can't forget.
a lot of good memories from the 90's I remember watching X-Files with my dad, good ol' days I just wish to create this kind of good memories with my daughters too
If I could go back in time this is the Era I would go to. In the 90s kids could be kids. Growing up on the East Coast in October me and my brothers would make a huge pile of leaves in our front yard and hide in them. I can still remember that smell to this day.
Agreed. These days, kids can't even walk down the street without being diagnosed and medicated by adults who are probably less stable than the kids themselves.
Man I miss being a kid, the fun, how great things were, everything seemed so much better then... I'm 38 going on 39 in January, and I've been not doing so great with life and everyday I get closer and closer to not wanting to be here anymore, trying to just be myself and a good person but it never goes good, had a horrible embarrassing day today, couldn't even eat all day, I'm in bed still shaking just stressed out not wanting to be here right now, hoping tomorrow is better, might be moving, hopefully can move ASAP
On some real honest shit I’m 41 years old. I felt the same way as a kid that you just described. at 30, I worked myself up into a nervous mental breakdown. I couldn’t get out of bed couldn’t face the world lost 40 pounds but I refused to give up, I watched philosophy videos, motivational videos got back in the gym put in honest effort and I’m happy to say my life is back on track. Don’t ever give up on yourself if you don’t believe in you nobody else will. Good luck and I hope you find happiness again
Get up, force yourself to eat some protein, move your body. You are made in the image of God. Fearfully and wonderfully made. We live in a fallen world. Every day you must put on the full armor of God. The devil is a liar, the father of lies. God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of love, power and sound mind.
I align with you in many ways. I'm sorry you're feeling so down. You are still that kid, we both are. There are many assholes in the world now, but they were just as much asses back then too. I think we were too busy engaging in good spirited simple fun to be bothered by them. Surround yourself with truly good people and try to focus on being patient and taking good care of yourself. It is difficult for sure but not impossible at all. I hope you can get yourself to a better environment where you can thrive just like when we were kids. Lots of love to you internet friend :).
😊 The nostalgia '90 memories ✨️😍🕯💫 it is well preserved in our memories "if it was good", so far so good, now in the present time it is the most important moment to take care ! Live with joy and love every moments, make them special for eternety !✨️ 🎁 💫 😉
Feels like life back in the days wasn't as complicated More simple It was actually enjoyable,exciting And now it feel like i live in a simulation nothing feels real anymore with All the shit going on Seems like we were transported into a shit show Thankfully this muisc video Eases my mind Thank you 🙏
Nothing feels real to me because my life has been a series of doors slamming in my face, metaphorically. Been denied so many things that it almost feels like the invisible barriers you encounter in a game.
Internet was born, fax machines in full throttle, pdf files we're just created, internet boom was just starting, on the brink of technological innovation.
Omg the nostalgia is real. We had it all back then. Things may not feel the same anymore, but if you have young kids it is your moral duty to give them a childhood that they will fondly remember just as we remember ours. That’s how you keep the magic alive.
Precisely
Increasingly hard, without cocooning them, I wish it weren’t this way…
only those who have failed in the present want to go back to the past.
@@KeizashiAcidRain such a crass thing to say, self centric and bloviated.
Нет не так и не правильно парень.
I know you think that sounds enlightened but it’s not. You could have a perfectly successful life and still yearn for simplicity sometimes. That’s normal!
When I see these videos…especially ones in the 90s I think about all my close relatives who were alive on this planet at the same time…in October of 1994 I had everyone I ever needed…now they’re all pictures on my wall and just memories of a time in life id die to go back to…
😥
You comment made me tear up. It's so accurate.
I can relate
my brother died this week and I'm really feeling/fearing that. Guess along with loving those we have when we have them to love, it's also reason to keep being open to loving and sharing life with new people too.
That was deep…
Riding your bike in the dark, walking to a 7-ELEVEN, still able to play at the arcade, hanging out at the mall was cool. Still had books for school. Less peer pressure without smart phones.
"It was better before." Moreover, each generation says this to the next with complete confidence.

Your soundwaves and visuals always hit hard right in the centre of nostalgia solarplexus.
i was born in october 1994.... but in uruguay.
i dont know why but it makes me feel something special
Those were the days of magic....
Try to quit Mobile phone .. return back to landline telephone .. try to read newspapers and Magazines... try to ride bicycle ... spend sometimes on beaches .. gardens... visit your firends... host your friends too .... go to puplic libraries... sleep early.. I think you will return back to 90s
In a wistful way, these were the most beautiful days of my life.
But I don't want to go back. Because I didn't want to walk the path again until now, to the hard-fought progress in the spirit, for anything in the world.
Rest well, past self!
I dont want to go back because then id be trapped again. if I ever had to id want a normal family and a normal upbringing.
@@mizv4043 Same.
@@mizv4043 I understand. But listen: I had a quite normal family and a quite normal upbringing. But I don't had a 'normal' time as an adult.
It was a dark and empty way, a researching for a splinter of joy, starting to learn how to reach a haven, God's grace. Nothing is just normal, or ideal. I'm still longing ...
94 was the year it all began for me.
30:53 love hearing old flavored relaxing music like this one.
I'm confused about what to feel. At first glance, it feels so cozy and quiet, but on the other side, I remember THAT october(autumn) of two years ago, when I was the most happiest. It brings me back then, and I still don't know what to feel now while listening to this.
I love this space and vibe. front yard, corner , trees, Stop sign, bike ... everything. ty
This video makes me cry for my old life.
Man 1994, I was 14 and I had just moved to a small town in Illinois from Stanton California. Talk about a culture shock, I could go outside on my own and explore for the first time. I idolized my uncle as a child, he was semi pro surfer (he was in demos and got flow (boards and clothing), but still needed to maintain a fulltime job). I had long hair, never wore a shirt or shoes unless I was skateboarding, and my favorite color was hot pink. Illinois was dominated with Carhart Jackets, pull over Cowboys or Packers jackets, and bull cuts as far as the eye could see. I did trim my mane to match Jonathan Taylor Thomas as to blend in with the locals and chilled on the hot pink, but never adorned the Carhart or Cowboys pullover. The kids in Illinois all grew up with one another and most of there parents did the same, but I was new and different. I took some heat from some, but others were curious. When Tony Hawks Pro skater came out, more people would approach me as skateboarding became cool, but soon I stashed the board and started to explore the woods. Camping and fishing became my jam. Armed with my folding knife purchased from an Ace Hardware and yard sale fishing pole, I would escape into the woods for days in the summer. It was David, Joey, and myself. We would smoke our "squares" and talk about all the girls out of our leagues as if we had a chance. Man, those days were great; of course there were the not so great times for sure. Reply to this video if you had a similar story or if you just want to jaw jack about Orbiz or Sobe, Airwalk shoes, JNCO Jeans, Pogs, 90s obsession with aliens with the Roswell TV show or the hundreds of fads i am forgetting.
What an incredible story, thank you for sharing! It’s amazing how a change in setting, like moving from California to Illinois, can shape so many unforgettable experiences. From long-haired, hot-pink-wearing skater vibes to folding knives and fishing trips in the woods, your journey is such a vivid snapshot of the 90s. Tony Hawk was truly a game-changer for so many of us, and it’s funny how those shifts in trends brought people together in unexpected ways. Your adventures with David and Joey, camping out and dreaming big, sound like pure magic. It’s those simple, honest moments-like fishing with a yard-sale pole or laughing about crushes-that stick with us forever. As for the fads, oh man, the Sobe bottles, Pogs battles, JNCO jeans so wide they could double as parachutes, and the obsession with aliens (Roswell, X-Files... even Independence Day!). It all feels like a shared time capsule we all can dip into. Thanks for sparking some of those memories for me too. Here's to the 90s and everything it gave us-feel free to drop more stories anytime!
Waiting for the subway train at 4:00 am, to take me all the way downtown by 5:00 am to start my shift at the smoothie cafe. The glow of the streetlights give off a warm glow that makes me sleepy. The bumps in the subway car keep me awake. The beauty of life is about balance
The 90s felt like the perfect mix of past and present 😌
I was born october 28, 1994. That means I'll be 30 tomorrow.
being born in the mid 90's I can still remember growing up before the turn of the century. Such a burst of nostalgia from a time before my life began.
90s were a fun time to be a kid, lots of memories.
The 90s really were the peak of the American experience. The onset of smartphones, social media and 24/7 news coverage carried us far away from this era.
@@rayzbalI agree 100%. We was never in a better place. From mid 00s onwards we started messing it up bit by bit & now it’s the worst it’s ever been. Certainly in my lifetime.
I was the awkward kid with some form of autism that still hasn't been diagnosed, so life sucked for me even back then.
@rayzbal if it weren't for 9/11, that experience may have been extended a little longer. That really shifted things for you guys I feel.
@@RV-vx9ek I remember the country turning against itself and I couldn't figure out why since the attack came from the outside.
omg. can my mind marry your ambience?
I was born in the 70's and just miss everything...The community. My old friends. School. All my relatives who are mostly gone and my mother who was my universe. Those leaves remind me of her sweeping them constantly off the walkway to the steps and off the veranda throughout autumn. Open the door and the aroma of her cooking would hit me at the front door! We had a bungalow so most cooking would be downstairs! 😂
Didn't think I'd be this triggered. 😥I'm such a sap.
Wonderful past, thanks for sharing.
This sounds like watching Cinemax at 2am in October of 1994.
;-)
Love this. God bless you
This reminds me of albums like George Winston's "December" Outstanding vibe
94 was my favorite year
Good concept. I remember this time. Good era to set this in.
I was one year old in oct 1994 and I remember looking out the window at everyone playing outside and this is exactly what it felt like.. I wish I was back in 1994
Beautiful music under a sunny or gloomy October day! I turned 1 in October 1994 (I was born in October 1993). So, this is my favorite autumn month! 😄
October 2nd is my day… 😊
@@AKawalski My birthday is October 26th😄
@@Scorpion-ms7zd always a time of contemplation for me 😊
Born in november 83 , anyone else❤
This is beautiful
Does anyone else not see a big difference between these photos and our time instead of filters?
Some of these pictures ... it looks like my high school friends from 30 or so years ago could run around the corner any moment!
super dark times is such a good movie
🎶Very relaxing. Easy to listen to I used to relax before I go to sleep and it helps. This is one of my favorite compilations so far.🎶
Happy to hear that!
Early Halloween memory:
Mid 90s. Me in a makeshift outfit that resembled Luke Skywalker's pilot suit, with my plastic pumpkin basket in one hand, and a pumpkin torchlight in the other hand. My younger brother in a baby stroller pushed by my parents. Some other kid in our group dressed as Davy Crockett and making a fuss because he misplaced his toy knife. One of my little cousins in a pink costume that might have been fairy themed. The candy collecting is a blur, but I remember us making it back to my aunt and uncle's old suburb house and enjoying a stack of Domino's pizzas and some 2-liters of coke and sprite while something played on the tv...
What about you?
So cool! I remember having to guess where the gifts that I received from Christmas were hidden, in my aunt's house. They gave me a game cartridge from Mega Drive, and a big Lego kit. I was so happy then, I still can't forget.
@@frost-80 What year was that?
a lot of good memories from the 90's
I remember watching X-Files with my dad, good ol' days
I just wish to create this kind of good memories with my daughters too
If I could go back in time this is the Era I would go to. In the 90s kids could be kids. Growing up on the East Coast in October me and my brothers would make a huge pile of leaves in our front yard and hide in them. I can still remember that smell to this day.
Agreed. These days, kids can't even walk down the street without being diagnosed and medicated by adults who are probably less stable than the kids themselves.
Seus vídeos e músicas, são incríveis. Não pare de postar
obrigado pelo carinho!
Nice beats. Something to listen to while driving cross country
Thanks for listening
Man I miss being a kid, the fun, how great things were, everything seemed so much better then... I'm 38 going on 39 in January, and I've been not doing so great with life and everyday I get closer and closer to not wanting to be here anymore, trying to just be myself and a good person but it never goes good, had a horrible embarrassing day today, couldn't even eat all day, I'm in bed still shaking just stressed out not wanting to be here right now, hoping tomorrow is better, might be moving, hopefully can move ASAP
On some real honest shit I’m 41 years old. I felt the same way as a kid that you just described. at 30, I worked myself up into a nervous mental breakdown. I couldn’t get out of bed couldn’t face the world lost 40 pounds but I refused to give up, I watched philosophy videos, motivational videos got back in the gym put in honest effort and I’m happy to say my life is back on track. Don’t ever give up on yourself if you don’t believe in you nobody else will. Good luck and I hope you find happiness again
Get up, force yourself to eat some protein, move your body. You are made in the image of God. Fearfully and wonderfully made. We live in a fallen world. Every day you must put on the full armor of God. The devil is a liar, the father of lies. God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of love, power and sound mind.
I align with you in many ways. I'm sorry you're feeling so down. You are still that kid, we both are. There are many assholes in the world now, but they were just as much asses back then too. I think we were too busy engaging in good spirited simple fun to be bothered by them. Surround yourself with truly good people and try to focus on being patient and taking good care of yourself. It is difficult for sure but not impossible at all. I hope you can get yourself to a better environment where you can thrive just like when we were kids. Lots of love to you internet friend :).
Well, i grown up different country, so for me it most remind old American movies or shows like Stranger Things)
I don't remember listening to this when going to the theater to see Pulp Fiction & Shawshank, but I love it.

Шикарный вайбовый ряд! Спасибо
bittersweet playlist
Feels like life back in the days wasn't as complicated
More simple
It was actually enjoyable,exciting
And now it feel like i live in a simulation nothing feels real anymore with All the shit going on
Seems like we were transported into a shit show
Thankfully this muisc video
Eases my mind
Thank you 🙏
Nothing feels real to me because my life has been a series of doors slamming in my face, metaphorically. Been denied so many things that it almost feels like the invisible barriers you encounter in a game.
@@theguybehindyou4762I feel the same way, I’m just wondering when stuff will stop falling out of the sky on me..
the more I think of it the more I realize 90s will be the period that mankind peaked. All downfall after that (except medicines)
love these vibes. great channel
Glad you enjoy it!
October 94 I had just started college, and I started dating someone seriously. It was an exciting time.
Thanks for another great video
Our pleasure!
Bruh that thumbnail is from a pretty messed up movie. But it does capture that nostalgia perfectly
I was born in 1994, My nostalgia would be October 2004 and 2007,2009-13
Of I could go back to October 1994....wow...that would be great....I was 14 years old.
Internet was born, fax machines in full throttle, pdf files we're just created, internet boom was just starting, on the brink of technological innovation.
Lord bless all
when i was born :)
Wonderful!
Thank you! Cheers!
01.10.1994 my Bday 🍃
We were just kids then
The youtube time machine has struck again.
SMMMMMMOOOOOKING
Why does this look exactly like the neighborhood I grew up in?
Very cool!
Isn't the thumbnail from Super Dark Times? I don't know why but I love that movie. It pops back into my head all the time
ty...
At least you're upfront that it is AI generated music...unlike some other channels
These videos and the music make me so sad and depressed. I cant watch more then one minute.
I’m saying the same thing it makes me wanna cry and regret things, this ain’t right 😢
