Here's a few more things I would like to mention as the attention in this short film has gone up in the past few weeks once again. But just a disclaimer, I'm only speaking to those who are willing to listen. 1. You are worthless because you SAY you are worthless. Words have power- words from others AND words from yourself. The more your mind focuses on the false idea that you mean nothing, the more you will believe it to be true- the more you will WANT to believe it is true. No one can fix that but you. I can't help you, your friends and family can't help you, not until you start to open your heart to the fact that you are worth something. Once you begin that journey of accepting that fact you matter, then the support from the people around you will start to resonate. When you tell yourself you matter, every day, embedding it into your being, things will change for the better. It won't happen overnight. But in order for you to accept yourself, it takes work. Your worth is in YOUR hands. 2. A small portion of the people in these conversations don't seem to understand the point of this film. This took me 3 months to make. I poured my heart into this. I made this coming from the light at the end of the tunnel. My life is great, I have the best friends i could ask for, and opportunities have been presented to me left and right. I'm not asking for pity, and I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I made this to let you know there is a way out. I made it out. It gets better. It truly gets better. It's hard... very hard. But the effort you put into believing yourself will pay off. 3. No one can determine what your motives, desires and intentions are in a 6-minute, animated short. No one can determine your value, worth, personality, or life based on an animation or a piece of your creation. Some people would rather stand out by being the negative nancy, and that's their decision. Don't be mad at something you can't control. If you don't want help, I won't help you. If you don't believe in my faith, I won't make you believe in it. If you want to make me believe my loving God is a lie, a fairytale, a myth, etc., go ahead. Your words do not alter the truth I hold tight to. Because even in my darkest days, God's Word still worked. I give my anxiety and depression no credit, because in my weakness I was made strong. I love you guys, and it breaks my heart to see you all suffering. But you aren't alone on this journey. My God has proven to me time and time again of His love and goodness. If you want to try anything else to help you out of this hell-hole called depression, let me know. It is your choice.
Spangler Scribbles I struggled with HEAVY depression and stress I had my teacher show this in one of her classes that I have a lot of bullies in and had of them had slowed down their comments so THANK YOU for helping. I use my smile to hide.
Spangler Scribbles I'm bullied almost my entire life. And it still isn't ending. So this short movie did a lot with me. Thx for the help. And I hope it will help other people as well. And let bullies see what they are doing to someone. I'm from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 sorry if my English isn't the best
I hate social media! (Even though I'm using social media rn) it changed literaly everything about myself,Thus making me sad and depressed. Once I knew about this I quickly stopped torturing myself,I realized Social Media is a site full of people who don't know you and will not know your true self,It's a place making fake friends and I realized I did have true friends,It was amazing on how fast I moved one lmao. But seeing this it was a great depiction on how people torture themselves and care too much on what other people are talking behind their back lol. Mostly for me I was quick on moving on lmao
We watched this in my group therapy session this morning, and I’ve been left sort of tearful today since then. I’m ready to hug my own inner child. I’ve hurt her enough.
Sometimes we just need to ask our inner children "What have I done to you?" and remember that your own harsh words are words spoken to a real, live person.
God loves you and cares for you until this message reaches you that God exists and that life is a test for every human being, and either he will succeed in it and enter the eternal paradise, or he will fail in it and burn in it. Fire of the world first, then permanent fire after death. Decide what to do first and last, the world is very short compared to the days of God, so do not lose it and you are not right The biggest loss for a person is to die without knowing God and His Messenger Muhammad. This is right or not, God loves you and takes care of you
*I would also like to hug my past self, I wouldn't tell him anything, the hug would be long and with tears, he wouldn't know the "Double Hell" that comes over him over time...*
The fact that her inner child despite being weighed down by so much still tried her best to smile, proves how our inner children really want us to be happy. No WANTS to be depressed. It's a matter of working through each shackle one by one and loving ourselves through every step- even if no one modeled to us how. It's hard but we all deserve it. And our little selves love us so we should remember to love them back. They didn't deserve the abuse they got and neither do you.
How beautifully described the pain our inner child is facing right now. Most of us have caged our inner child with the harshest words. Loved the concept ❤
Hey there! We're so glad you enjoyed the concept of the animated short and resonated with the message about our inner child. It's amazing how a powerful story can help us reflect on our own experiences. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🌟 #InnerChildHealing #Empathy
As someone who has forgotten her worth in life’s valleys, I have started to tell myself each day “you matter” in the mirror and lo and behold I found this by accident. Thanks for being a vessel. I can’t speak for God’s will but I believe he lead me to this beautiful piece of creativity at just the right time.
You know what makes this more depressing? After all she went through and everyone hated her, she had no friends and they didn't like her looks, in the end, no one told her she mattered, she told herself. Edit; I was like, 13 when I commented this 😭 and was dealing with way too many mental issues with a lack of support, so, sorry about this LMAOO
I don't think it's because she didn't have any friends because on what ever social website she was on she had lot's of friend's. I thank that's it's her distancing herself from others because that's how she feels about herself and making herself think and believe that's how other's see her. She finally see's what she is doing to herself and what she did to herself over the year's. Her younger self showed what she was doing to herself.
Yea well no one else was gonna tell her, so actually its really uplifting that she found it within herself. I for one wouldve found it depressing if some random dude that didnt even know her just said 'You matter' instead.
As I kept watching this I felt a knot in my throat and tears started pouring from my eyes. This video is amazing, touching, with so little words it says everything the ones that have suffered from bullying or from bad comments from adults have felt during life. Thank you also for sharing your believes.
That broken smile when the last chain was linked... And I found myself yelling, "No! No child! You are loved! You aren't alone! And even if you are, I will hold you! And cry with you.. and I realized that child.. was me. I broke down crying. I allowed others to chain me. To define me... To hurt me. And I hurt myself along with them. I realized this recently. And now I've been working on removing those chains. One by one. Step by step. Ignoring the negativity from those who want to keep me chained. Until I get to where I want to be. This video pretty much summed up everything I was feeling. And it made me feel less alone. Thank you for sharing this.
Man I remember when I first found this animation. It would keep popping in my recommendation and I finally decided to watch it after 3 days of it popping up. At that time I wasn't in the best place to be. At that time I hidden something from my family, friends, and even my own beloved sister for three years. I basically grew worse and worse and felt like no one could help me during time of darkness. (I don't wish to go further in details on what I hid but it was terrible experience that still puts a impact on my life). What surprised me at first is that the girl we see in the film had the same birthday as me as if it this video called out for me. When I watched more and more I began to see in myself that what I was hiding wasn't good and showed me that I can be okay. The chains to me represent the thing and what I build up over the years of living in fear and despair. I remember being in tears after finishing it because it showed that I shouldn't be afraid to tell my family once and for all what happened three years ago. It took myself some time (and a lot of courage) but I did get the help I needed and now I working to get myself in a better place. Today is my birthday (2/20) and when I look back at this animation and all that I can say is thank you for helping me and many others.
my birthday is close and yes i was shook lol and even before this video I imagine myself in chains, its weird its like someone went in my head and drew it for me. I'm an artist I always wanted to animate this but I didn't because i'm scared from the same thing in the video. I'm scared to let people know who i am inside, so i'm happy that people relate ;)
Just remember you're beautiful. No matter what everyone says, if anyone ever does something bad their probably just awful and envious people who can't find happiness so they feel the necessity to say this means things to make themselves..feel better. You are a valuable/worthy person who deserves lots of love. Cause we are all fighting with our own monsters that consume us , to the point of developing severe depression or worse mental conditions, but we are survivors. God made us for a reason. I guarantee you , that you have a wonderful purpose in life. It's our job to find that purpose, if you follow the light even through those dark times when you felt like you couldn't get out of a situation, a trauma, relationships (of all kind), felt unloved, for the friends or family who left or cut you out for no reason, all those time you felt that you weren't good enough and know one believed in you. When you start to let go of the past and keep moving on, that's where your new chapter comes. I tell you is not easy but someday you'll slowly start to actually love yourself again. People may hurt you, manipulative /use you, leave with scars that stay there with, the mark stays there but it's not a part of you anymore. If it wasn't for Jehova God none of us would be here today and turned us into strong human beings who can outcome every obstacle in our path. It doesn't hurt like it use to. It's your own choices if you wanna keep letting that wound open. Put some aloe vera and it will eventually cure your wound until the only thing left is a little scar. God bless you always. If you made it this far. Thank you for reading.
I've had those chains throughout almost all of my childhood and there were only a few times I could take a break from them. Reading all these comments and watching this video makes me feel so much better! Happy very belated birthday!
"Everyone is genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree then it will lead his whole life believing that this is stupidity. " -Albert Einstein This video made me cry guys 😭
I cried like a baby watching this because my inner child was suffering from the exact same thing. It took a long time to give her the love and acceptance she deserved, but it's so worth it.
I shared this with my students today. Afterwards, we created positive "I AM" statements, in order to debunk the myths created about us by others. A student who is a survivor of child abuse said, "I AM...finally safe." My heart turned to mush. Thank you for this powerful statement of self-love!
As a 16 year old who is currently sobbing her eyes out because of the emotional relevance this had to my life, I want to say, you are a good person. You are a good teacher. You are the type of teacher that we dream of having. Not one that cares just about our grades but cares about us as human children who are being shoved off the deep end into the adult world in the worst events of our generation. We need teachers like you.
This brought me tears as someone who was abused as a child in the past. The feeling of helplessness won't go away but time helps u to grow strong. I hope your student is doing well too. We need more teachers like you.
So happy I found this short film on IG. Came to UA-cam to watch the full video. Cried the first time when I saw it on IG and cried watching it here. Thank you Hannah Grace.
I remember my aunt saying I used to be really happy when I was a child. When I turned 10, that happiness suddenly disappeared. I was replaced by someone who was rude and heartless, according to my mother. I used to be bold, daring. But then, I was so scared to move. So scared to do the simplest wrong thing; every mistake I did had a large impact in anything else I did at home. I didn’t like it. Now, I’m surrounded by people. The common friend of everyone. I guess I’ll stay as the friend everybody has, not having a real friend for myself. It was a good thing that the pessimistic thoughts disappeared. Anxiety and those dark thoughts never bothered my mind again. I found someone to love, and my parents and idol showed me that I could love too. God told me that I should love myself. But... it feels empty. Disconnected. It doesn’t feel right at all. Those pessimistic thoughts were something I got used to. Something that I considered defined me as who I really am. With it gone whenever I’m alone, there’s just this weird emptiness that crawls in my heart. It wasn’t the feeling I liked. True, it did happen when I had those pessimistic thoughts and cried myself to sleep, but at least the thoughts were there to keep me company. A common friend nobody really looks at and only comes for help. Like a concierge, an encyclopedia. A robot used for nothing else except for their own benefit. ...but it doesn’t matter to me now. Nothing matters anymore. I guess the chains never disappeared, just got rusty. It lost it’s touch. Now I guess I’ll try to find my new self, something that can define me again. Something new. Being a discreet copycat _is_ my job. Originality was never my thing. This was indeed relatable... if I was the old me, that is. However, it won’t change my mind that this really is beautiful.
Gabrielle Alyssa Rivera When I was 9 years old was when something inside me changed,as if my heart started to break. I was bullied in school I was told I was ugly , fat , worthless but look at me now...nevermind...I just remebered that you can't. Anyways I bet you are an amazing person. If anybody feels worthless or fat or ugly or even unloved I suggest listening to 'Beloved by Jordan Feliz'
@X-GamingStar If praying fixed everything, Donald Trump wouldn't be in office, world hunger would have ended 3 yeas ago, and the war in Syria wouldn't be happening.
Real people in my life: no one cares about you, you don’t matter Random internet strangers: people care about you, you do matter Me: well which one is it???
Choose friends that help you believe in yourself. One of my favorite ways is by looking for people who are new or being left out and including them. Ask them about their stories. You can always find something good in their stories and tell them that they matter first.
There are billions of people in this world. Those who surround you are a few dozen, at most. It's bad luck if they all happen to be self-absorbed and close minded. But there are a lot of great people out there. You matter :)
I just showed this video to my psychologist in my psychology group and he wanted the link to show it in his other groups to help understand the connection from "you" and your inner child and why it is important to be kind to yourself. Thank you for this video. It will help others, I'm sure!
I'm gonna say I was so touched. 3 years ago when this was released, I had no idea what this Animation was about because of my childish thinking. But after that, I was becoming more aware of my surroundings until I became "too" aware that everything would still be the same even if I was never here. That led me to extreme anxiety whenever I go out of the house or whenever I meet someone I don't know very much. I had trouble with handling conversations because I was too worried I would say something terrible or sensitive which led people into thinking I am weird and anti-social. I began to think that everyone is talking behind my back even when they are acting nice in front of me. I began to think that no one likes me so I distanced myself from everyone. Until it gradually became worse. I always think I am never good enough and that the compliments they give are just lies so as not to be rude. I started hating myself very much that led me to depression. Then I started eating too much to distract myself from socialization. But again hated myself for being an ugly fat pig so I again started starving myself. I spent most of my time in my locked room where I thought would be the only place where I can let myself off of reality. I started going out less. I started losing contact with my friends one by one making me think that I'm the worst kind of friend to ever have making me distance myself even more. I just hated myself too much. I had no great skills nor am I good with studying and sports. My family and friends "did" try to help me. But I was too indulged into thinking that I can't do anything right. Then, 3 years have passed, and now I understood this short but meaningful Animation. It was me making myself suffer. It was me who covered my ears not to listen to the ones who were trying to help. It was just me who thought everything I have been thinking. For the whole 3 years, I have been blaming society that it was the one who turned me into this kind of mess. It took me 3. Fuckin. Years. To realize it and all I had to do was to watch this 6-minute Animation. You can already tell how stupid I am. If I were to face my younger self, I would really want to apologize for becoming the person I never dreamt to be. Good thing I stumbled into this great creator! If it weren't for you, I would still be blaming other people for myself. But now, my perspective has changed. I can't expect other people to be the one to change me. It HAS to be me. And no, I am not looking for any attention. Even if this is just going to be lost in the sea of comments, I just want to thank the creator because they made me realize something very big in my life. As in very, very big. And not just me. I know there are a lot of people here who are just like me. Still, you have read this far? Wow. You're the true definition of patience.👍
Haha.. My replica.. Your words and this animation exactly describes my situation.. Thank God I'm stronger than I could ever imagine.. But still I'm shaping myself.. Something made me realise that all I need is me..Inner us matters..
I am unemployed.. after repeated failures in competitive exams to get a job. I had almost gave up. I didn't find this video.. it found me. I am Glad It did. I haven't cried in a long time. I did shed a few tears although it was hard to watch what my inner child has been through. They say you need to fight for something to win. I found the thing. I will fight for the inner wounded version of me. I will fight for him untill my last breathe. He deserves it. ❤️
Kansas City chiefs football champions .... Hope it helps , you did by sayings you will fight back with every breath... That's right brother you fight back the devil is a liar ... God made you good , and if he said your good , your good to all in this world because he made you good 😅
I read somewhere that " the adult version of you is the person,the kid version of you would have felt safe with " and that hit hard. Loved this short animation. ❤
YT algorithms put up vids related to what your mind craves, and sometimes even you are not aware of it. So maybe, it is you who is becoming more empathetic towards yourself🙃 I wish you love ❤
I saw this when I was younger and I felt it resonated with me. I turn 18 today, despite the hell of my personal hardships, I’m grateful I held on and will continue to hold onto life. Truly, from one stranger to another, you matter.
I related so much to this, and I remember now that unkindness to others and ourselves brings nothing, but repressed heartache. You put into a video what I could never put into words
This is what this world needs. A beautiful reminder of what you truly are. Thank you so much for letting me realize this. Thank you. HOW DID IT GET THIS MUCH LIKES EEEEEEE
What the world actually needs is a reminder that the school system is absolute crap. Because I'm almost 100% certain that going through school is the only thing that makes some people depressed and socially anxious later in life. The school administration doesn't give a shit about how the students behave. School is pretty much jail for the "weaker" students that are always socially exploited through their school years. And the sad part is that the school system can never be fixed and this will continue happening.
"We're all just children with big hearts that are weighed down by the words and actions of others." That quote had me bawling because of how true it is. The picture of you is what really hit me right in the heart because when we young, we don't realize how cruel the world is. But as we do get older, we realized that world is a cruel place. So it lead us to thinking negatively about ourselves. When I saw your picture it reminded of me when I was younger and how happy I was. As I grew up, my happiness had faded away because of me believing the intrusive thoughts I had about myself. Thank you so much for making film for people who deal with the same thing. It does make impact on others lives.
stesthetic that is so true. I wish the world wasn't as cruel as it is, but it just is. I'm constantly weighed down by my own thoughts and as of this point, can't take compliments seriously.... And I'm only 14(gonna be 15 in November, yay!) But it's just saddening. My ex boyfriend was part of the reason I can't take compliments and have negative thoughts. He told me I was pretty, and amazing, and talented, and then he started to put me down. Of course I broke up with him, that just wasn't right, but now I can't take compliments. My current boyfriend has tried many times to compliment me with failure, even attempting to do it in Japanese (which usually makes me happy when he can speak it) but, I still can't take them. I'm trying so hard to do better now, and I am doing much better than I was. The world is a horrible place
Agreed. Of course, I knew how cruel the world is when I was 6, because I was reincarnated to this life. I am now 27, and I died at the age of 43 in War. I joined the Military in this life at the age of 19, and I left the Military a year ago, after seeing and mentally feeling he thing that fucked me up in a War
Necrosis the Dremora Warlord ok. Trying it read that I got kinda lost... What....? Is your point you remember life before reincarnation or something??? Cuz that's pretty cool
This made me tear up! I am also about to turn 18 in about a week and feel so miserable. I was very cheerful as a kid. But I was teased for being dark complexed and overweight. I had friends which slowly moved on with their own lives leaving me alone. I stopped performing in school. Past one year was so difficult but the worse part is that I was so ambitious as a kid and now that I have to finally do the things ,I just feel I have lost myself
@@imftuba How..well, when you stop restricting yourself thinking you can't do something. Something you would have loved or enjoyed or would be the 1st one in line to join in as a kid. As things kept going wrong whether it's people who didn't acknowledge or maybe insecurities kept on growing, now it scares you to try it again. That's where you have to find your joy. Despite how everything may not workout, just see how much it actually means to you because that will always remain precious.
Wtf. Why are there dislikes. This is a powerful video and can change someones life. They just put you down because they were once put down too. Don't let those people get to you in the future or that moment. Every negative thing they tell you, don't try to change yourself because of those people. You are perfect just the way you are. -Naomi
AliceDove I guess but truly everyone is human. Some people are like who they are but it’s normally influenced onto them. They may want to inflict there own pain onto someone because they’re hurting or maybe parents have been a bad role model or maybe they just want to hurt people as people have hurt them. The list could go on but I really don’t think any dislike could be from a person doing it for the fun of it unless they were born that way and even then it’s not their fault, they need this as much as anyone even if they don’t acknowledge it.
Never ever let some temporary people define you, label you, you know yourself more than anybody else.. The bad words they uttered against you, is a reflection or how their minds work and how they are as a person.. It's a replica of their own issues..
This shows how words can affect someone, reason why we have to be careful with our words because it can becomes someone's internal word especially with childrens. May this be a reminder that, when someone is not kind to you, then be kind to yourself. May everybody heal from their past trauma. You guys matters.
The way she hugged her little self ...so powerful..i literally burst into tears.. Thankyou so much Hannah..i really needed this..now am going to start my day by removing these chains one by one..each day..every day..till am out of my own prison..much love..💖💕
In two months, I'll be 18. This made me cry. I can't even start to talk about how much I relate to this but, I won't. I'll come back next year when there'll be 2 months till I'll be 19 and I'll come back.. healed.
The little girl was me in elementary school. And I was SUPER shy at that time, so I was very vunerable. But every time someone was rude towards me, I kept being kind to them. Now, I just get pissed off, look away from them, or correct them.
Polar Candy Me but in Middle School. I got depressed and then became hyper critical of myself and others to the point where I loved nobody. Now I'm undergoing another phase of depression(From playing DDLC and being super lonely) but now my worldview is changing. I don't want anyone to feel the pain I do, I'd rather them be happy and joyful. Not enclosed, always self conscious and depressed. I play Flute and Recorder and my dream would be to help people. This world is slowly crumbling as are our bodies. Why waste critiquing one another over petty differences when we can celebrate our uniqueness?
At 48, I watched this, and bawled my eyes out. People have no grasp of how damaging their words can be to others. And they ARE chains that weigh you down. It can be so hard to slip them off. We need to free ourselves, but let's also remember not to chain down others with our words.
After watching that video, I gotta say, I bawled my eyes out for a solid ten minutes. It hit so close to home since my childhood was pretty much a mirror image of what was portrayed. Coming from a family full of brilliant, successful folks mostly in the medical and computer engineering fields, I never felt like I measured up as a kid. It seemed like no matter what I did, it was never good enough. Now that I'm older, I'm working on breaking free from all those hurtful words that were thrown my way. I struggle to feel genuinely happy for myself, even when I achieve something, because I always feel like it's not good enough. Fixing all these issues might take a lifetime, but one thing's for sure: I will NEVER subject my children to the same kind of pressure and criticism.
I am still going through a period of severe depression. This related to me so much that I have abandoned any mind of suicidal thoughts. Thank you floor helping me through that hard time with this small video
My friend, may never again have such a thoughts! Believe me, such thing as a suicide will make everything worse both for you and for those who love you! I had such thoughts too, although none of them serious and I realised that they lead nowhere! So, my friend, stay positive and happy! 🙋😄
I found this film today and I want to thank you for it. I have never cried like this before because I feel weighed down by the opinions of others and those who were in my past. But today and now, I am making a choice, a choice to free myself from the shackles of negativity. I MATTER.
Its been 5 years and the emotional impact of this film is still the same- heck, maybe even more. Thank you for making such a legendary film, Hannah, this still has a special place in my heart all these years.
God loves you and cares for you until this message reaches you that God exists and that life is a test for every human being, and either he will succeed in it and enter the eternal paradise, or he will fail in it and burn in it. Fire of the world first, then permanent fire after death. Decide what to do first and last, the world is very short compared to the days of God, so do not lose it and you are not right The biggest loss for a person is to die without knowing God and His Messenger Muhammad. This is right or not, God loves you and takes care of you
I have seen some superb short films. But trust me when I say this. This one touched me. Like I had goosebumps. Like my eyes sparkled. Like my conscience bloomed. Like Beautiful. 'It might be dark as hell, but I promise to glow, And I may have to run, walk, fall, crawl, drag but I promise to grow'. Thank You.
For real, this is the bestestest Short Film I have seen. The emotions are beautifully shown here. This is Talent! Trust me, you're gonna be a great Film artist! Love yaaa
To all the little girls who came across this in their childhood and grew up to be a little bit of sad now. I hope you're doing okay. May the stars guide you in this lifetime.
I know this was made a long while ago, but I watched it like 1 million times and it made me cry every time because this reminds me of my life. I am still TRYING to believe that I am worth something. It does take a while I believe that. But there is hope that I can get through it.
Weirdo from Space you are worth something, you’re worth more than anything in the world, you are priceless! Don’t let anyone put you down because of what you do or who you are, try to be happy no matter what! People used to make fun of me and I let them get to me, don’t let them get to you! You are a wonderful human being! You are beautiful no matter what.
To everyone having a hard time, Cut all negative ties, find somebody who appreciates u, and take a break. And if u ever feel unloved, remember, I love you.
This film really made e cry. The shot where she said "You matter" after all the things people said to her really touch my heart. You did a wonderful job and we always always always have a kid inside us.
You don't need others to define you! The love and affirmation you need comes from within yourself. The beauty of life lies in overcoming one's self that is denied by others and giving oneself new strength.
I've been trying to do that for as long as I can remember hey,nobody deserves to hate themselves so young for me was when I was 8,I skin pick till this day,my boyfriend of 4 months dumped me I know it doesn't sound bad but he promised me forever,I was already sad during our relationship though so I don't know,uhh I feel so numb my therapist says I need to start caring again,my heart's so heavy,I also think he's gonna get with this other girl,I know after watching this im supposed to feel inspired but nothing ,no emotion towards it,I can however see little me and I can say she's hurt im hurt,he came into my life just as I was getting better,maybe I would've gotten like this without meeting him but that's not important,I can't fix myself,I've tried,I tend to push everything away,and for some reason I can't cry anymore
Whenever I’m feelings depressed I look for sad animatics and it always ALWAYS brings me to this video, I comment every time hoping those chains break, that those chains shatter, but I always drag more of a burden on myself just thinking about being me ‘happy’..
You can't break all the links on that chain at once. You have to break them one at a time. It may feel like you're not making progress at first, but six months or a year down the line, that chain will be much shorter and weigh you down a lot less. Be patient, be strong, and don't give up.
And your sadness isn’t evil. Your sadness itself isn’t bad. It’s just hard to deal with. Especially in this society, holding everyone to impossible and unhealthy standards, like forcing yourself to “be happy” all the time. Trying not to hold yourself to their standards, realizing that society _itself_ is wrong, everyone is _supposed_ to be different and is beautiful in a different way, including yourself, that helps a lot. It still hurts that other people judge you by those ridiculous standards, but at least you don’t do it to yourself. And you know that they just don’t know any better.
Sam, just you acknowledging the fact that you are sad makes you so acceptable and true to yourself. I see masks everywhere....every person has so many underlayers. ...you can't judge which one they really are....just by acknowledging your true feelings through this comment you have made yourself different from a million other masked people.....you don't have to try to be happy You just have to be honest to yourself and keep discovering ....dig deeper.....talk to yourself as a third person. Or journal it to make it easier.....you will be amazingly fine. Trust me you stranger
This is so powerful! So very often the messages we receive from the outside world become our inner voice. It takes courage to trash these and to start believing in yourself again. We as children are willing to dare, explore, and fly! But many times, people who know no better clip our wings! It's sad but true! Always remember, you are ENOUGH! You are WORTH IT!
I cried. I know that's something people say that alot in the comment section, and half the time people are just saying it to be funny and they didn't actually cry. But I cried. I genuinely, truely, cried. Honestly, I relate so much to this right now. When I realized it was about a young adult feeling so weighed down by dark thoughts, but then remembering their Child self, I just . . . started bawling. I get it. I get it SO much. Wanting to have that innocence and resilient joy, wanting to feel like you are capable and nothing can possibly tell you otherwise. I know that feeling like an old friend. I feel it almost every day. When I saw that girl hug her younger self and the "You Matter," I felt so uplifted. Thank You, Hannah. You are so beautiful, and your work is so inspiring and gorgeous. Thank You for reminding me to look to God for my identity, and to try to open my Heart and listen to what He's trying to tell me and teach me. God Bless You.
never judge a person by their appearance because in their future days, they will achieve and develop something that will feel powerful for them. and if you do judge them, you aren't learning that much in school. and for that: #EverySingleSoulMatters.
I just want to thank you all so much for watching this short AND letting me know that it's impacting you! This film has had a surge in attention over the past week and I'm floored with the response, it means so much to me. But I have noticed within the past week WHO has found this, and I just want to talk to you. If you are suffering from anxiety and depression, as someone who has gone through it myself, I am so sorry you have suffered. It's a horrible, mental battle that at many points made me physically weak, emotionally unsound and mentally incapacitated. It was such a horrible time, but I've pushed passed it. I'm happy to say that depression and anxiety has no hold on me anymore! And it wasn't from drugs or situations magically getting better. I was saved through Jesus, the Prince of Peace that surpasses all understanding. I realized God never wanted me to hold the weight of the world... and it wasn't just a request, it was a demand. It was a challenge to let go of "control." The reality was that I had little control in my life other than the choices that I made. So relinquishing that idea that every situation was determined by how I responded was one of the most refreshing decisions I've ever made. If I succeeded or not, I knew that God would always love me. He would never leave me. He won't leave you. I really believe He's crying out to you. A real father would hate to see his child be tormented like this. God love you, cliche it is to say, but it's absolutely true. I was a screwed up kid before I learned more about God. No hoops to jump through, no strict guidelines to follow... He just loves me, because. And I want that for you too. No matter who you are, or where you came from, or whether you feel like you deserve healing or not. God loves you, I love you, and I pray you get your healing like I did.
***** It's very easy! Jesus saved us over 2,000 years ago by dying for us, taking our place. Now it's up to us to receive the gift of life he willingly gave us. The Bible says "Confess with your mouth and believe in you heart that Jesus was raised from the dead, and you shall be saved." That's it. You don't have to jump through hoops, he will meet you right where you're at in life. All you have to do is talk to him, and invite him into your life. Jesus will never force his way in, he wants you to want him. It's that simple! Once you ask and believe, you're saved. The moment I did that, it changed my life! If you have anymore questions, I'm happy to answer them!
This is the first animated short I've watched more than once in a row. It's sad because growing up, we're told things and we accept them as the truth. If as a child you're told you can't sing, dance, play football or anything and you're told it's pointless trying because we're poor, cant afford to get you anywhere... anything... and it sticks somehow.... But as we get older, we don't realize that, what those people said, even if they were our mums or dads or someone close, what they say about us doesn't make it true. I wish my parents had have raised me to know this... to know that what people say and think about me doesn't determine who I am and what I can do/become. Because it all created a fear inside me. A fear that I don't even notice is there because I just automatically accept it as a truth. I hope I can find a way to overcome this fear holding me back. Fear that I'm not good enough... Lets try and be our new parents to ourselves. At least I'll try to do that from today. It might not be an easy thing to do, but I owe it that little girl 15 years ago to at least try.
I wish I did not listen because for some odd reason I have thus one problem I rather not tell about but yea I wish people would just be nice nobody knows what people could be going through I mean some people can’t just think Like there is lots of people on this earth like a lot so there is no chance we could know what their going through :c but your definitely right
@@space__mikspace4088 thanks for the reply and nice words :) its been 7 months since i wrote this post and its still hard but i know in my heart that we can do it with Gods love and grace:) i believe in you, so, lets keep trying to be our best selves, but without pressurizing ourselves to be perfect 😇
This video has always made me cry. The underwster sound effect, the chains, the silent tears, the sad smile, everything in this video feels like the inside of my head, and don't forget the tight rope that seem to be wrapping my brain all the time...
+ MaractusThe Caucus? You don't need to be rude. The creator of animation actually went through depression (it is said in description) so it is practically right. Maybe he didn't know because there are a lot of people who don't read description. Just because he thought that the person who created this was crying (AKA going through deression and/or anxiety) doesn't give you reason to call him rudely. I am not mad. I am just explaining. I am not protecting. I just noticed it and wanted to explain it.
such an inspiring video. for 14 years i’ve been suffering depression. i totally understand this. being a young girl with so much light and then growing up and that light slowly fading away because of the negativity of this world. jesus is always bigger and has always been a big huge light and help in my life. thank you lord for giving me the strength to keep going everyday. amen sis.
*"Those who forgive themselves, and are able to accept their true nature... They are the strongest ones!"* *Uchiha Itachi* Edit: *"People Don't Cry Because Their Weak, They Cry Because They Have Been Strong For Too Long"* *-Uchiha Itachi*
I am 45 years old and I am still in the darkness--this kind of darkness. I am still struggling but thank you for making this video and Praise God that He has brought you out of this!!! Thank you!!!!
Here's a few more things I would like to mention as the attention in this short film has gone up in the past few weeks once again. But just a disclaimer, I'm only speaking to those who are willing to listen.
1. You are worthless because you SAY you are worthless. Words have power- words from others AND words from yourself. The more your mind focuses on the false idea that you mean nothing, the more you will believe it to be true- the more you will WANT to believe it is true. No one can fix that but you. I can't help you, your friends and family can't help you, not until you start to open your heart to the fact that you are worth something. Once you begin that journey of accepting that fact you matter, then the support from the people around you will start to resonate. When you tell yourself you matter, every day, embedding it into your being, things will change for the better. It won't happen overnight. But in order for you to accept yourself, it takes work. Your worth is in YOUR hands.
2. A small portion of the people in these conversations don't seem to understand the point of this film. This took me 3 months to make. I poured my heart into this. I made this coming from the light at the end of the tunnel. My life is great, I have the best friends i could ask for, and opportunities have been presented to me left and right. I'm not asking for pity, and I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I made this to let you know there is a way out. I made it out. It gets better. It truly gets better. It's hard... very hard. But the effort you put into believing yourself will pay off.
3. No one can determine what your motives, desires and intentions are in a 6-minute, animated short. No one can determine your value, worth, personality, or life based on an animation or a piece of your creation. Some people would rather stand out by being the negative nancy, and that's their decision. Don't be mad at something you can't control.
If you don't want help, I won't help you. If you don't believe in my faith, I won't make you believe in it. If you want to make me believe my loving God is a lie, a fairytale, a myth, etc., go ahead. Your words do not alter the truth I hold tight to. Because even in my darkest days, God's Word still worked. I give my anxiety and depression no credit, because in my weakness I was made strong. I love you guys, and it breaks my heart to see you all suffering. But you aren't alone on this journey. My God has proven to me time and time again of His love and goodness. If you want to try anything else to help you out of this hell-hole called depression, let me know. It is your choice.
Spangler Scribbles I struggled with HEAVY depression and stress I had my teacher show this in one of her classes that I have a lot of bullies in and had of them had slowed down their comments so THANK YOU for helping. I use my smile to hide.
Spangler Scribbles I'm bullied almost my entire life. And it still isn't ending. So this short movie did a lot with me. Thx for the help. And I hope it will help other people as well. And let bullies see what they are doing to someone.
I'm from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 sorry if my English isn't the best
Spangler Scribbles your a very good motivational speaker I have been feeling depressed about this stuff but this made my day thank you
I hate social media! (Even though I'm using social media rn) it changed literaly everything about myself,Thus making me sad and depressed. Once I knew about this I quickly stopped torturing myself,I realized Social Media is a site full of people who don't know you and will not know your true self,It's a place making fake friends and I realized I did have true friends,It was amazing on how fast I moved one lmao.
But seeing this it was a great depiction on how people torture themselves and care too much on what other people are talking behind their back lol.
Mostly for me I was quick on moving on lmao
Spangler Scribbles Thank you. Truly and honestly thank you. This video spoke to me and I want to speak back and all I can say is thank you.
"What gets scary is when your self-worth is tied up in what strangers think about you." _Emma Watson_
So true..... Luv it.

damn !
that quote hit me hard
Stan emma
True
She was killing her inner child by letting those things affect her but then she understood that she MATTERS.
guys let’s talk about talent, THAT LITTLE GIRL RIGHT THERE DREW A PERFECT CIRCLE, I CALL THAT TALENT
LITERALLY ME WHEN I SAW THAT
1000 likes for u
I at least take a whole hour and a half to draw a perfect circle , by asking my whole family and using compass AND STILL DOES NOT WORK
True talents😭😭😭
Yes, she does have a really great natural aptitude.
And for all the people who don’t speak science, she has a really great talent
AMAZING! TEN OUTTA TEN!
when she said, "you matter"
i started sobbing
i don't know why
maybe i really needed it
thank you
*hug*
Me too
Its deep and powerful.
i didn't want that tear to leave my eye
Me too ...:"(
I swear to god, i never cry when watching sad stuff, no matter how sad it is,
but i could relate so much to this, it made me cry so hard
fancy kpop trash sameeee
fancy kpop trash ikr
Oh my gosh me too. And then when people say things like, "This made me cry for days." I'm just like, "Welp, I have zero emotion in that case."
fancy kpop trash omg me too sometimes I cry sometimes I don't like I only cried 3 times this is 4
Same 😂😰
THIS MADE ME CRY WHILE EATING BREAKFAST, GODDAMMIT. THIS IS THE SADDEST CEREAL I’VE EVER EATEN. IT TASTES LIKE *MY TEARS.*
It tastes like an 10 year old on CoD
you have the same name as me in real life :O
Same here. I'm also eating cereal while crying about this :'D
Omg samee
LOL you made me laugh while crying :'D
We watched this in my group therapy session this morning, and I’ve been left sort of tearful today since then. I’m ready to hug my own inner child.
I’ve hurt her enough.
I really would love to learn Lucid Dreaming just to meet my inner child (literally) and talk to her, apologize deeply for how the things that I said.
Sometimes we just need to ask our inner children "What have I done to you?" and remember that your own harsh words are words spoken to a real, live person.
ua-cam.com/video/UtOvI5COsaY/v-deo.html
Same 🥺
If I knew I would have committed suicide by now, the future won't be too bad I presume, lol
God loves you and cares for you until this message reaches you that God exists and that life is a test for every human being, and either he will succeed in it and enter the eternal paradise, or he will fail in it and burn in it. Fire of the world first, then permanent fire after death. Decide what to do first and last, the world is very short compared to the days of God, so do not lose it and you are not right The biggest loss for a person is to die without knowing God and His Messenger Muhammad. This is right or not, God loves you and takes care of you
*I would also like to hug my past self, I wouldn't tell him anything, the hug would be long and with tears, he wouldn't know the "Double Hell" that comes over him over time...*
The fact that her inner child despite being weighed down by so much still tried her best to smile, proves how our inner children really want us to be happy. No WANTS to be depressed. It's a matter of working through each shackle one by one and loving ourselves through every step- even if no one modeled to us how. It's hard but we all deserve it. And our little selves love us so we should remember to love them back. They didn't deserve the abuse they got and neither do you.
Yes. But in adulthood we lose that smile. Our little self still tried to be stronger.
How do I treat my inner child?
Thanks, now I’m crying again 😭
That is such a good observation. Thank you.
🥺🥺🥺thank you
One compliment will brighten someones day...
How beautifully described the pain our inner child is facing right now.
Most of us have caged our inner child with the harshest words.
Loved the concept ❤
Hey there! We're so glad you enjoyed the concept of the animated short and resonated with the message about our inner child. It's amazing how a powerful story can help us reflect on our own experiences. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🌟 #InnerChildHealing #Empathy
My inner child died of heartbreak a long time ago...
@Jbourbon You are a precious child of God, dear one. You are loved.
PLEASE WHEN IT SAID “YOU MATTER” I started crying
Me too.
ua-cam.com/video/UtOvI5COsaY/v-deo.html
I cried too
Me too
I feel you buddy🤧
You Matter.
Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared; then, You Energy.
Ok um I love you for this XD
This is my favorite thing 😂
Thx lol, been a while since I laughed to a physics joke.
@@LightningShiva1
You are very welcome. :)
I don't really want to ruin the joke because it made me laugh myself, but 'm' is mass of the body/matter, not matter itself :|
Just cried over a five minute animation. This is truly beautiful no sarcasm.
Same.. that girl is kinda like me inside.. FRIKING ONION CUTTING INVISIBLE NINJAS! ;-;/
Sapphire Eevee XD
I know..
It's touching.
Alice Cooper ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Emily Lpslover yeah
As someone who has forgotten her worth in life’s valleys, I have started to tell myself each day “you matter” in the mirror and lo and behold I found this by accident. Thanks for being a vessel. I can’t speak for God’s will but I believe he lead me to this beautiful piece of creativity at just the right time.
Let's be honest:
Many of us can relate to the character, can't we?
Yeah so badly
I think that's the point.
Sadly, yes-
That is the story about me
I don’t cuz i won’t fake depression online since it’s a very disrespectful thing to do. :/
You know what makes this more depressing? After all she went through and everyone hated her, she had no friends and they didn't like her looks, in the end, no one told her she mattered, she told herself.
Edit; I was like, 13 when I commented this 😭 and was dealing with way too many mental issues with a lack of support, so, sorry about this LMAOO
ikr
yea
well you can't rely on others to make you feel better. I think it was trying to show that you have to love yourself first, which is less depressing
I don't think it's because she didn't have any friends because on what ever social website she was on she had lot's of friend's. I thank that's it's her distancing herself from others because that's how she feels about herself and making herself think and believe that's how other's see her. She finally see's what she is doing to herself and what she did to herself over the year's. Her younger self showed what she was doing to herself.
Yea well no one else was gonna tell her, so actually its really uplifting that she found it within herself. I for one wouldve found it depressing if some random dude that didnt even know her just said 'You matter' instead.
covered in chains but she smiled. that hit way too hard.
DJhartson I KNOW RIGHT
DJhartson I cried at that part
DJhartson Same here
i had to keep myself from crying so no one asked why i was crying. i'm used to doing that though.
It got me when the teenager started crying and hugged the little girl
As I kept watching this I felt a knot in my throat and tears started pouring from my eyes. This video is amazing, touching, with so little words it says everything the ones that have suffered from bullying or from bad comments from adults have felt during life. Thank you also for sharing your believes.
That broken smile when the last chain was linked... And I found myself yelling, "No! No child! You are loved! You aren't alone! And even if you are, I will hold you! And cry with you.. and I realized that child.. was me. I broke down crying. I allowed others to chain me. To define me... To hurt me. And I hurt myself along with them.
I realized this recently. And now I've been working on removing those chains. One by one. Step by step. Ignoring the negativity from those who want to keep me chained. Until I get to where I want to be.
This video pretty much summed up everything I was feeling. And it made me feel less alone. Thank you for sharing this.
It makes me realise m not alone in this journey...let's keep on going
You are Importen ,loved and priceless!Because God loved You!
Me too ...
GIRL POWER !!💪
that part was so sad :( wish you all the best on your journey, hope you continue to get rid of the negativity in your life
Man I remember when I first found this animation. It would keep popping in my recommendation and I finally decided to watch it after 3 days of it popping up. At that time I wasn't in the best place to be. At that time I hidden something from my family, friends, and even my own beloved sister for three years. I basically grew worse and worse and felt like no one could help me during time of darkness. (I don't wish to go further in details on what I hid but it was terrible experience that still puts a impact on my life). What surprised me at first is that the girl we see in the film had the same birthday as me as if it this video called out for me. When I watched more and more I began to see in myself that what I was hiding wasn't good and showed me that I can be okay. The chains to me represent the thing and what I build up over the years of living in fear and despair. I remember being in tears after finishing it because it showed that I shouldn't be afraid to tell my family once and for all what happened three years ago. It took myself some time (and a lot of courage) but I did get the help I needed and now I working to get myself in a better place. Today is my birthday (2/20) and when I look back at this animation and all that I can say is thank you for helping me and many others.
I am happy to hear that you are working on getting yourself in a better place. Also we have the same birthday!
my birthday is close and yes i was shook lol and even before this video I imagine myself in chains, its weird its like someone went in my head and drew it for me. I'm an artist I always wanted to animate this but I didn't because i'm scared from the same thing in the video. I'm scared to let people know who i am inside, so i'm happy that people relate ;)
stay strong, i hope you become ok!
Just remember you're beautiful. No matter what everyone says, if anyone ever does something bad their probably just awful and envious people who can't find happiness so they feel the necessity to say this means things to make themselves..feel better. You are a valuable/worthy person who deserves lots of love. Cause we are all fighting with our own monsters that consume us , to the point of developing severe depression or worse mental conditions, but we are survivors. God made us for a reason. I guarantee you , that you have a wonderful purpose in life. It's our job to find that purpose, if you follow the light even through those dark times when you felt like you couldn't get out of a situation, a trauma, relationships (of all kind), felt unloved, for the friends or family who left or cut you out for no reason, all those time you felt that you weren't good enough and know one believed in you. When you start to let go of the past and keep moving on, that's where your new chapter comes. I tell you is not easy but someday you'll slowly start to actually love yourself again. People may hurt you, manipulative /use you, leave with scars that stay there with, the mark stays there but it's not a part of you anymore. If it wasn't for Jehova God none of us would be here today and turned us into strong human beings who can outcome every obstacle in our path. It doesn't hurt like it use to. It's your own choices if you wanna keep letting that wound open. Put some aloe vera and it will eventually cure your wound until the only thing left is a little scar. God bless you always. If you made it this far. Thank you for reading.
I've had those chains throughout almost all of my childhood and there were only a few times I could take a break from them. Reading all these comments and watching this video makes me feel so much better! Happy very belated birthday!

This video made me cry guys 😭
noor mohammad siddiqui thank you for commenting this. Whenever I start judging myself or I feel down then I will remember this so thank you :)
There is a book about a girl, and if you like this you would REALLY LOVE IT. It is called Fish In a Tree!
Strawberry Skies I loved fish in a tree!
Exotic - fish in a tree is great!
You got the entire quote incorrect lol
I cried like a baby watching this because my inner child was suffering from the exact same thing. It took a long time to give her the love and acceptance she deserved, but it's so worth it.
It actually takes seven positive comments to psychologically erase a negative one.
라이언천사의 not for me
Now I erased a positive one
라이언천사의 you're perfect 💙
BF TE thank you 😍
No
I shared this with my students today. Afterwards, we created positive "I AM" statements, in order to debunk the myths created about us by others. A student who is a survivor of child abuse said, "I AM...finally safe." My heart turned to mush. Thank you for this powerful statement of self-love!
As a 16 year old who is currently sobbing her eyes out because of the emotional relevance this had to my life, I want to say, you are a good person. You are a good teacher.
You are the type of teacher that we dream of having. Not one that cares just about our grades but cares about us as human children who are being shoved off the deep end into the adult world in the worst events of our generation.
We need teachers like you.
You are a certified epic gamer teacher. Keep going.
you're an amazing teacher. thank you for doing that.
ua-cam.com/video/UtOvI5COsaY/v-deo.html
This brought me tears as someone who was abused as a child in the past. The feeling of helplessness won't go away but time helps u to grow strong. I hope your student is doing well too. We need more teachers like you.
Hi random introvert soul
Love yourself. Talk with yourself. Take care of yourself
@@RS-rz4ll haha
Thanks bruh...
Oh HELL YEAH.
I'm from the future btw, ikr very cool ))!
thanks i needed that :,
I will😃😃
So happy I found this short film on IG. Came to UA-cam to watch the full video. Cried the first time when I saw it on IG and cried watching it here. Thank you Hannah Grace.
I remember my aunt saying I used to be really happy when I was a child. When I turned 10, that happiness suddenly disappeared. I was replaced by someone who was rude and heartless, according to my mother. I used to be bold, daring. But then, I was so scared to move. So scared to do the simplest wrong thing; every mistake I did had a large impact in anything else I did at home. I didn’t like it.
Now, I’m surrounded by people. The common friend of everyone. I guess I’ll stay as the friend everybody has, not having a real friend for myself. It was a good thing that the pessimistic thoughts disappeared. Anxiety and those dark thoughts never bothered my mind again. I found someone to love, and my parents and idol showed me that I could love too. God told me that I should love myself.
But... it feels empty. Disconnected. It doesn’t feel right at all.
Those pessimistic thoughts were something I got used to. Something that I considered defined me as who I really am. With it gone whenever I’m alone, there’s just this weird emptiness that crawls in my heart. It wasn’t the feeling I liked. True, it did happen when I had those pessimistic thoughts and cried myself to sleep, but at least the thoughts were there to keep me company.
A common friend nobody really looks at and only comes for help. Like a concierge, an encyclopedia. A robot used for nothing else except for their own benefit.
...but it doesn’t matter to me now. Nothing matters anymore. I guess the chains never disappeared, just got rusty. It lost it’s touch.
Now I guess I’ll try to find my new self, something that can define me again. Something new. Being a discreet copycat _is_ my job. Originality was never my thing.
This was indeed relatable... if I was the old me, that is.
However, it won’t change my mind that this really is beautiful.
Gabrielle Alyssa Rivera When I was 9 years old was when something inside me changed,as if my heart started to break. I was bullied in school I was told I was ugly , fat , worthless but look at me now...nevermind...I just remebered that you can't. Anyways I bet you are an amazing person. If anybody feels worthless or fat or ugly or even unloved I suggest listening to 'Beloved by Jordan Feliz'
I will be ur friend
then just pray to God for help, I mean he's always there. It's just that you have to teach out to him.
@X-GamingStar If praying fixed everything, Donald Trump wouldn't be in office, world hunger would have ended 3 yeas ago, and the war in Syria wouldn't be happening.
Gabrielle Alyssa Rivera you are perfect I'm just like you...I understand stand strong
Please tell me I'm not the only one who had to hold back tears....
pixolgirl 12775 your not
pixolgirl 12775 Your Not Alone
your definitely not
We're both the same 😥😥
pixolgirl 12775 I couldn't hold them back... I still am crying...😥 this was just beautiful like if you agree
Real people in my life: no one cares about you, you don’t matter
Random internet strangers: people care about you, you do matter
Me: well which one is it???
The second one
Choose friends that help you believe in yourself. One of my favorite ways is by looking for people who are new or being left out and including them. Ask them about their stories. You can always find something good in their stories and tell them that they matter first.
There are billions of people in this world. Those who surround you are a few dozen, at most. It's bad luck if they all happen to be self-absorbed and close minded. But there are a lot of great people out there. You matter :)
I have no idea!
The one you believe.
I just showed this video to my psychologist in my psychology group and he wanted the link to show it in his other groups to help understand the connection from "you" and your inner child and why it is important to be kind to yourself. Thank you for this video. It will help others, I'm sure!
I'm gonna say I was so touched. 3 years ago when this was released, I had no idea what this Animation was about because of my childish thinking.
But after that, I was becoming more aware of my surroundings until I became "too" aware that everything would still be the same even if I was never here. That led me to extreme anxiety whenever I go out of the house or whenever I meet someone I don't know very much. I had trouble with handling conversations because I was too worried I would say something terrible or sensitive which led people into thinking I am weird and anti-social.
I began to think that everyone is talking behind my back even when they are acting nice in front of me. I began to think that no one likes me so I distanced myself from everyone. Until it gradually became worse. I always think I am never good enough and that the compliments they give are just lies so as not to be rude. I started hating myself very much that led me to depression. Then I started eating too much to distract myself from socialization. But again hated myself for being an ugly fat pig so I again started starving myself. I spent most of my time in my locked room where I thought would be the only place where I can let myself off of reality. I started going out less. I started losing contact with my friends one by one making me think that I'm the worst kind of friend to ever have making me distance myself even more. I just hated myself too much. I had no great skills nor am I good with studying and sports.
My family and friends "did" try to help me. But I was too indulged into thinking that I can't do anything right. Then, 3 years have passed, and now I understood this short but meaningful Animation. It was me making myself suffer. It was me who covered my ears not to listen to the ones who were trying to help. It was just me who thought everything I have been thinking. For the whole 3 years, I have been blaming society that it was the one who turned me into this kind of mess. It took me 3. Fuckin. Years. To realize it and all I had to do was to watch this 6-minute Animation. You can already tell how stupid I am.
If I were to face my younger self, I would really want to apologize for becoming the person I never dreamt to be. Good thing I stumbled into this great creator! If it weren't for you, I would still be blaming other people for myself. But now, my perspective has changed. I can't expect other people to be the one to change me. It HAS to be me. And no, I am not looking for any attention. Even if this is just going to be lost in the sea of comments, I just want to thank the creator because they made me realize something very big in my life. As in very, very big. And not just me. I know there are a lot of people here who are just like me.
Still, you have read this far? Wow. You're the true definition of patience.👍
Beautifully said !
I hope you are doing better now. ❤️
Haha.. My replica.. Your words and this animation exactly describes my situation.. Thank God I'm stronger than I could ever imagine.. But still I'm shaping myself.. Something made me realise that all I need is me..Inner us matters..
I read it till the end and absorbed every word 😊
Hug. Hugging you right now.
I am unemployed.. after repeated failures in competitive exams to get a job. I had almost gave up. I didn't find this video.. it found me. I am Glad It did. I haven't cried in a long time. I did shed a few tears although it was hard to watch what my inner child has been through. They say you need to fight for something to win. I found the thing. I will fight for the inner wounded version of me. I will fight for him untill my last breathe. He deserves it. ❤️
Proud of you!
❤
As Travis Kelce would say .... FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT 😊
Kansas City chiefs football champions .... Hope it helps , you did by sayings you will fight back with every breath... That's right brother you fight back the devil is a liar ... God made you good , and if he said your good , your good to all in this world because he made you good 😅
You got this buddy 🔥🔥🔥we believe in you🔥🔥🌻✨
Fight on. You deserve to be happy.
The only time I cry is when I can relate..

I read somewhere that " the adult version of you is the person,the kid version of you would have felt safe with " and that hit hard. Loved this short animation. ❤
Wow, that's so beautiful,it's worth remembering ❤
Oh, I love that 💜
I always do think that my childhood version would be wonderful If I was with my adult version🥲

I love the recommendations

YT algorithms put up vids related to what your mind craves, and sometimes even you are not aware of it. So maybe, it is you who is becoming more empathetic towards yourself🙃
I wish you love ❤
Just wanted to let you know that I love you and you are worth it! ❤️
Hi Hannah. I found this video and gave it to a friend who really needed it. I wanted you to know that this video you made is still saving people today
When I saw the words "You Matter" I cried
Zaria Galaxy Guurl too :')
me too i also cried
Zaria Galaxy me too

me too
I saw this when I was younger and I felt it resonated with me. I turn 18 today, despite the hell of my personal hardships, I’m grateful I held on and will continue to hold onto life.
Truly, from one stranger to another, you matter.
I broke down. this video has made me realize how much I hurt my self with my words. Thank you, person who made this. thank you.
I related so much to this, and I remember now that unkindness to others and ourselves brings nothing, but repressed heartache. You put into a video what I could never put into words
MikaWantsToUA-cam Cat right
MikaWantsToUA-cam Cat same, I want to stop hurting myself but I can't
Taylor Swain Yes you can I'm sure you will and soon :)

This is what this world needs. A beautiful reminder of what you truly are. Thank you so much for letting me realize this. Thank you.
HOW DID IT GET THIS MUCH LIKES EEEEEEE
Kitty Quinn wtf Kitty Quinn is my cat's name 😂😂
What the world actually needs is a reminder that the school system is absolute crap. Because I'm almost 100% certain that going through school is the only thing that makes some people depressed and socially anxious later in life. The school administration doesn't give a shit about how the students behave. School is pretty much jail for the "weaker" students that are always socially exploited through their school years. And the sad part is that the school system can never be fixed and this will continue happening.
Todor Mitevski you spoke the truth, omg

SEEING THIS MASTERPIECE IN 2024 WAS RECOMMENDED BY UA-cam THIS STILL A MASTERPIECE AND ALWAYS WILL BE [ LOVE YOU ] FROM INDIA
"We're all just children with big hearts that are weighed down by the words and actions of others."
That quote had me bawling because of how true it is. The picture of you is what really hit me right in the heart because when we young, we don't realize how cruel the world is. But as we do get older, we realized that world is a cruel place. So it lead us to thinking negatively about ourselves.
When I saw your picture it reminded of me when I was younger and how happy I was. As I grew up, my happiness had faded away because of me believing the intrusive thoughts I had about myself.
Thank you so much for making film for people who deal with the same thing. It does make impact on others lives.
stesthetic that is so true. I wish the world wasn't as cruel as it is, but it just is. I'm constantly weighed down by my own thoughts and as of this point, can't take compliments seriously.... And I'm only 14(gonna be 15 in November, yay!) But it's just saddening. My ex boyfriend was part of the reason I can't take compliments and have negative thoughts. He told me I was pretty, and amazing, and talented, and then he started to put me down. Of course I broke up with him, that just wasn't right, but now I can't take compliments. My current boyfriend has tried many times to compliment me with failure, even attempting to do it in Japanese (which usually makes me happy when he can speak it) but, I still can't take them. I'm trying so hard to do better now, and I am doing much better than I was. The world is a horrible place
Agreed. Of course, I knew how cruel the world is when I was 6, because I was reincarnated to this life. I am now 27, and I died at the age of 43 in War. I joined the Military in this life at the age of 19, and I left the Military a year ago, after seeing and mentally feeling he thing that fucked me up in a War
Necrosis the Dremora Warlord ok. Trying it read that I got kinda lost... What....? Is your point you remember life before reincarnation or something??? Cuz that's pretty cool
Can we just talk about how beautiful the animation is and how amazing and impactful the message was?
This is beautiful
Thank you for making this
It was amazing no 🧢

@@space__mikspace4088 amazing 👏😍
This made me tear up! I am also about to turn 18 in about a week and feel so miserable. I was very cheerful as a kid. But I was teased for being dark complexed and overweight. I had friends which slowly moved on with their own lives leaving me alone. I stopped performing in school. Past one year was so difficult but the worse part is that I was so ambitious as a kid and now that I have to finally do the things ,I just feel I have lost myself
The ambitious kid is still in you. Make sure to look for her.
@@butterfly_squats5425 yess!! Thanks for your kind words!
Keep going u will make it one day 🙂
@@butterfly_squats5425 how?
@@imftuba How..well, when you stop restricting yourself thinking you can't do something. Something you would have loved or enjoyed or would be the 1st one in line to join in as a kid. As things kept going wrong whether it's people who didn't acknowledge or maybe insecurities kept on growing, now it scares you to try it again. That's where you have to find your joy. Despite how everything may not workout, just see how much it actually means to you because that will always remain precious.
Weird as a kid all i could think of was "oh what a cute message"
Now it hits. I wasnt even bullied as a kid, but this still hits
Wtf. Why are there dislikes. This is a powerful video and can change someones life. They just put you down because they were once put down too. Don't let those people get to you in the future or that moment. Every negative thing they tell you, don't try to change yourself because of those people. You are perfect just the way you are.
-Naomi
Who ever disliked it didn’t deserve this videos help
AliceDove I guess but truly everyone is human. Some people are like who they are but it’s normally influenced onto them. They may want to inflict there own pain onto someone because they’re hurting or maybe parents have been a bad role model or maybe they just want to hurt people as people have hurt them. The list could go on but I really don’t think any dislike could be from a person doing it for the fun of it unless they were born that way and even then it’s not their fault, they need this as much as anyone even if they don’t acknowledge it.
Two years and the tears still flow down these cheeks.
What vivid eyes, what melancholic smiles...
May you always feel the light of God's blessing.
Never ever let some temporary people define you, label you, you know yourself more than anybody else.. The bad words they uttered against you, is a reflection or how their minds work and how they are as a person.. It's a replica of their own issues..
100% accurate~ 👍
This shows how words can affect someone, reason why we have to be careful with our words because it can becomes someone's internal word especially with childrens. May this be a reminder that, when someone is not kind to you, then be kind to yourself.
May everybody heal from their past trauma. You guys matters.

I'll come back next year when there'll be 2 months till I'll be 19 and I'll come back.. healed.
best of luck dear
The little girl was me in elementary school. And I was SUPER shy at that time, so I was very vunerable. But every time someone was rude towards me, I kept being kind to them. Now, I just get pissed off, look away from them, or correct them.

Polar Candy Me but in Middle School. I got depressed and then became hyper critical of myself and others to the point where I loved nobody. Now I'm undergoing another phase of depression(From playing DDLC and being super lonely) but now my worldview is changing. I don't want anyone to feel the pain I do, I'd rather them be happy and joyful. Not enclosed, always self conscious and depressed. I play Flute and Recorder and my dream would be to help people. This world is slowly crumbling as are our bodies. Why waste critiquing one another over petty differences when we can celebrate our uniqueness?

The little girl was the main character from the past
this made me cry...i see so much of myself in this and i hate to admit it.

Yep.
Pokéfanguy this vid is wonderful compared to my life
ikr
same here
At 48, I watched this, and bawled my eyes out. People have no grasp of how damaging their words can be to others. And they ARE chains that weigh you down. It can be so hard to slip them off. We need to free ourselves, but let's also remember not to chain down others with our words.
And sometimes these words are not even by others but something we say to ourselves
After watching that video, I gotta say, I bawled my eyes out for a solid ten minutes. It hit so close to home since my childhood was pretty much a mirror image of what was portrayed. Coming from a family full of brilliant, successful folks mostly in the medical and computer engineering fields, I never felt like I measured up as a kid. It seemed like no matter what I did, it was never good enough. Now that I'm older, I'm working on breaking free from all those hurtful words that were thrown my way.
I struggle to feel genuinely happy for myself, even when I achieve something, because I always feel like it's not good enough. Fixing all these issues might take a lifetime, but one thing's for sure: I will NEVER subject my children to the same kind of pressure and criticism.
I love how you can see the desperate "No!" even though there's no voice at 3:47
Thank you. This is a beautiful story, told by a beautiful animation. Thank you for creating and sharing this piece of art.
I am still going through a period of severe depression. This related to me so much that I have abandoned any mind of suicidal thoughts. Thank you floor helping me through that hard time with this small video
You matter! :)
you really matter ☺️
You don't
My friend, may never again have such a thoughts! Believe me, such thing as a suicide will make everything worse both for you and for those who love you! I had such thoughts too, although none of them serious and I realised that they lead nowhere! So, my friend, stay positive and happy! 🙋😄
Thank you FLOOR
I found this film today and I want to thank you for it. I have never cried like this before because I feel weighed down by the opinions of others and those who were in my past. But today and now, I am making a choice, a choice to free myself from the shackles of negativity.
I MATTER.
this made me cry smile and inspire me
at first I cryed over this but then I'm like this is a good story
Its been 5 years and the emotional impact of this film is still the same- heck, maybe even more. Thank you for making such a legendary film, Hannah, this still has a special place in my heart all these years.
God loves you and cares for you until this message reaches you that God exists and that life is a test for every human being, and either he will succeed in it and enter the eternal paradise, or he will fail in it and burn in it. Fire of the world first, then permanent fire after death. Decide what to do first and last, the world is very short compared to the days of God, so do not lose it and you are not right The biggest loss for a person is to die without knowing God and His Messenger Muhammad. This is right or not, God loves you and takes care of you
I have seen some superb short films. But trust me when I say this. This one touched me. Like I had goosebumps. Like my eyes sparkled. Like my conscience bloomed. Like Beautiful.
'It might be dark as hell, but I promise to glow,
And I may have to run, walk, fall, crawl, drag but I promise to grow'.
Thank You.
For real, this is the bestestest Short Film I have seen. The emotions are beautifully shown here. This is Talent! Trust me, you're gonna be a great Film artist! Love yaaa
To all the little girls who came across this in their childhood and grew up to be a little bit of sad now. I hope you're doing okay. May the stars guide you in this lifetime.
How did you know
I know this was made a long while ago, but I watched it like 1 million times and it made me cry every time because this reminds me of my life. I am still TRYING to believe that I am worth something. It does take a while I believe that. But there is hope that I can get through it.
Weirdo from Space you are worth something, you’re worth more than anything in the world, you are priceless! Don’t let anyone put you down because of what you do or who you are, try to be happy no matter what! People used to make fun of me and I let them get to me, don’t let them get to you! You are a wonderful human being! You are beautiful no matter what.

So true
This film really made e cry. The shot where she said "You matter" after all the things people said to her really touch my heart. You did a wonderful job and we always always always have a kid inside us.
You don't need others to define you!
The love and affirmation you need comes from within yourself.
The beauty of life lies in overcoming one's self that is denied by others and giving oneself new strength.
Thank you
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Castiel Winchester Now bring me some damn pie.
I am crying
Castiel Winchester "I'm not crying, it's the rain"
"it's sunny ma'am"
Castiel Winchester how'd you know?

This video is telling us and reminding us to love ourself, you’re worthy. Trust yourself and heal yourself.
I've been trying to do that for as long as I can remember hey,nobody deserves to hate themselves so young for me was when I was 8,I skin pick till this day,my boyfriend of 4 months dumped me I know it doesn't sound bad but he promised me forever,I was already sad during our relationship though so I don't know,uhh I feel so numb my therapist says I need to start caring again,my heart's so heavy,I also think he's gonna get with this other girl,I know after watching this im supposed to feel inspired but nothing ,no emotion towards it,I can however see little me and I can say she's hurt im hurt,he came into my life just as I was getting better,maybe I would've gotten like this without meeting him but that's not important,I can't fix myself,I've tried,I tend to push everything away,and for some reason I can't cry anymore
Whenever I’m feelings depressed I look for sad animatics and it always ALWAYS brings me to this video, I comment every time hoping those chains break, that those chains shatter, but I always drag more of a burden on myself just thinking about being me ‘happy’..
You can't break all the links on that chain at once. You have to break them one at a time. It may feel like you're not making progress at first, but six months or a year down the line, that chain will be much shorter and weigh you down a lot less. Be patient, be strong, and don't give up.
And your sadness isn’t evil. Your sadness itself isn’t bad. It’s just hard to deal with. Especially in this society, holding everyone to impossible and unhealthy standards, like forcing yourself to “be happy” all the time. Trying not to hold yourself to their standards, realizing that society _itself_ is wrong, everyone is _supposed_ to be different and is beautiful in a different way, including yourself, that helps a lot. It still hurts that other people judge you by those ridiculous standards, but at least you don’t do it to yourself. And you know that they just don’t know any better.
Sam, just you acknowledging the fact that you are sad makes you so acceptable and true to yourself. I see masks everywhere....every person has so many underlayers. ...you can't judge which one they really are....just by acknowledging your true feelings through this comment you have made yourself different from a million other masked people.....you don't have to try to be happy
You just have to be honest to yourself and keep discovering ....dig deeper.....talk to yourself as a third person. Or journal it to make it easier.....you will be amazingly fine. Trust me you stranger
This is so powerful! So very often the messages we receive from the outside world become our inner voice. It takes courage to trash these and to start believing in yourself again.
We as children are willing to dare, explore, and fly! But many times, people who know no better clip our wings! It's sad but true! Always remember, you are ENOUGH! You are WORTH IT!
Damn, this hits real close to home.
I cried.
I know that's something people say that alot in the comment section, and half the time people are just saying it to be funny and they didn't actually cry. But I cried.
I genuinely, truely, cried. Honestly, I relate so much to this right now.
When I realized it was about a young adult feeling so weighed down by dark thoughts, but then remembering their Child self, I just . . . started bawling. I get it. I get it SO much. Wanting to have that innocence and resilient joy, wanting to feel like you are capable and nothing can possibly tell you otherwise. I know that feeling like an old friend. I feel it almost every day.
When I saw that girl hug her younger self and the "You Matter," I felt so uplifted. Thank You, Hannah. You are so beautiful, and your work is so inspiring and gorgeous. Thank You for reminding me to look to God for my identity, and to try to open my Heart and listen to what He's trying to tell me and teach me.
God Bless You.
never judge a person by their appearance because in their future days, they will achieve and develop something that will feel powerful for them. and if you do judge them, you aren't learning that much in school. and for that: #EverySingleSoulMatters.
I dont
Lazy drawer pfp?
Don’t let other define you. Don’t let your thoughts define you. Only you know who are yourselves.
we all are loved.
I just want to thank you all so much for watching this short AND letting me know that it's impacting you! This film has had a surge in attention over the past week and I'm floored with the response, it means so much to me. But I have noticed within the past week WHO has found this, and I just want to talk to you.
If you are suffering from anxiety and depression, as someone who has gone through it myself, I am so sorry you have suffered. It's a horrible, mental battle that at many points made me physically weak, emotionally unsound and mentally incapacitated. It was such a horrible time, but I've pushed passed it. I'm happy to say that depression and anxiety has no hold on me anymore! And it wasn't from drugs or situations magically getting better. I was saved through Jesus, the Prince of Peace that surpasses all understanding. I realized God never wanted me to hold the weight of the world... and it wasn't just a request, it was a demand.
It was a challenge to let go of "control." The reality was that I had little control in my life other than the choices that I made. So relinquishing that idea that every situation was determined by how I responded was one of the most refreshing decisions I've ever made. If I succeeded or not, I knew that God would always love me. He would never leave me. He won't leave you. I really believe He's crying out to you. A real father would hate to see his child be tormented like this.
God love you, cliche it is to say, but it's absolutely true. I was a screwed up kid before I learned more about God. No hoops to jump through, no strict guidelines to follow... He just loves me, because. And I want that for you too. No matter who you are, or where you came from, or whether you feel like you deserve healing or not. God loves you, I love you, and I pray you get your healing like I did.
this video really sooo awesome,immotional,I mean its extrodinary is seriously .....sooo good....
This vídeo, those words... remember me somethings I've been trying hard to leave behind. And this help me a lot, thank you and God bless you.
Awesome , I just found your channel , surely will check out your web comics. It's a great animation and a great story. Jesus loves You 😊
***** It's very easy! Jesus saved us over 2,000 years ago by dying for us, taking our place. Now it's up to us to receive the gift of life he willingly gave us. The Bible says "Confess with your mouth and believe in you heart that Jesus was raised from the dead, and you shall be saved." That's it. You don't have to jump through hoops, he will meet you right where you're at in life.
All you have to do is talk to him, and invite him into your life. Jesus will never force his way in, he wants you to want him. It's that simple! Once you ask and believe, you're saved. The moment I did that, it changed my life! If you have anymore questions, I'm happy to answer them!
+misscute lady I feel the same way but He said be keeping His commandments. dont worry step by step we will get it right through Him
This is the first animated short I've watched more than once in a row.
It's sad because growing up, we're told things and we accept them as the truth.
If as a child you're told you can't sing, dance, play football or anything and you're told it's pointless trying because we're poor, cant afford to get you anywhere... anything... and it sticks somehow....
But as we get older, we don't realize that, what those people said, even if they were our mums or dads or someone close, what they say about us doesn't make it true.
I wish my parents had have raised me to know this... to know that what people say and think about me doesn't determine who I am and what I can do/become.
Because it all created a fear inside me. A fear that I don't even notice is there because I just automatically accept it as a truth.
I hope I can find a way to overcome this fear holding me back. Fear that I'm not good enough...
Lets try and be our new parents to ourselves. At least I'll try to do that from today. It might not be an easy thing to do, but I owe it that little girl 15 years ago to at least try.

@@space__mikspace4088 thanks for the reply and nice words :) its been 7 months since i wrote this post and its still hard but i know in my heart that we can do it with Gods love and grace:) i believe in you, so, lets keep trying to be our best selves, but without pressurizing ourselves to be perfect 😇
This is the most meaningful video I have ever watched IM TOUCHED
Not everyone matters. Some people are fodder
This video has always made me cry. The underwster sound effect, the chains, the silent tears, the sad smile, everything in this video feels like the inside of my head, and don't forget the tight rope that seem to be wrapping my brain all the time...
I'm not crying, you are

MaractusThe Caucus? You don't need to be rude. The creator of animation actually went through depression (it is said in description) so it is practically right. Maybe he didn't know because there are a lot of people who don't read description. Just because he thought that the person who created this was crying (AKA going through deression and/or anxiety) doesn't give you reason to call him rudely. I am not mad. I am just explaining. I am not protecting. I just noticed it and wanted to explain it.
Was that a Terry reference.
You're right I am
HI! Did you call?
BlueSkai 12 same
such an inspiring video. for 14 years i’ve been suffering depression. i totally understand this. being a young girl with so much light and then growing up and that light slowly fading away because of the negativity of this world. jesus is always bigger and has always been a big huge light and help in my life. thank you lord for giving me the strength to keep going everyday. amen sis.
