As someone who tries to spread joy like the girl in the video, it’s important to know that joy doesn’t happen automatically. It takes time and effort, healthy thoughts and living plus a cultivation of gratitude. I don’t think it “comes easily” to anyone, but it’s so worth fighting for.
If you’re joyful, be wary of emotional vampires who suck the life out of you to make themselves feel better
I was once like this girl. I had the life sucked out of me by a 20 year marriage I tried to make work.
I'm trying to find that self again.
My fierce joyfulness wasn't the problem.
His fierce miserableness was.
I needed to hear this
@@kikijewell2967 I wish you the best!
@@kikijewell2967 I too am recovering from a relationship that made me lose my joy. Something I've come to realize is everyone at some point or another is going to be miserable. So in the span of 7 billion people, why did I gravitate towards the people who *choose* to be negative? Now don't get me wrong, he had sides of him that I fell in love with. His worldview was negative overall because he didn't have a great time growing up. No one nurtured him or taught him gratitude in a way that stuck, so I thought I could show him. Lead by example, and maybe one day, he would believe that he deserved his happiness for himself. That he deserved more as a human being.
It still didn't change the fact he chose to be negative. He didn't heal from his past, but maybe neither did I. Seven billion people and I chose the person who would choose to be negative. I found that to bring my joy back, I realized that he reflected a darker part of myself. He had insecurities that deep down I shared, and maybe subconsciously, I thought nurturing him would nurture me too. For you, it may be the same. Or maybe, he reminded you of someone else you knew in your past. Maybe someone who could've used more joy but never got it. By giving that joy to your ex, you're helping yourself heal over that injustice to that someone.
Whatever it is, ask yourself what he represents to you. Dig into your initial fascination with him and what it meant to you. Why did you love him? Why did you hate him? What have you realized about yourself during and after your relationship with him? I've found that this helped me a lot. I sincerely wish you the best. You deserve to be happy
He can see the pink balls instead of rain because of the effect of the medicine he takes against the depression. The medicine makes him see things in a different and colourful way, but it doesn’t cure his negative approach to things. On the contrary the girl sees things as they are, but her approach to life is positive and she celebrates every thing in life. So the idea is that no depression medicine can change your negative approach to life, but a positive person next to you really can.
beautiful way of explaining it. Thank you!
I definetly know that’s true cause the medicine they showed in the beginning is the same one I use to help me with my emotions, excellent interpretation
i really like your explanation!tq!
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain” Loved it 💛
It's how instead of hot😂
@@tanugiri532haha they just made a little error no big deal 💗
Absolutely! I love your comment. Have a wonderful, blessed day! 🤗
Absolutely ❤

Depression is something that makes u feel helpless 😢leaving my comment so I can come back and watch each time some one likes it ❤I need alot of pink rain 🌂
🎉wishing you enough pink rains
sending you all the pink rain you need to get to an even better place than you can currently imagine
I feel the same with you 😔💔
But it's gonna be okay
Bless you dear lady!
I pray you have enough pink rain to last you a lifetime, and there will always be someone to dance in the rain to remind you how beautiful today is.
it only takes one cheerful person to turn your life better.
keep them close when you ever find one
Don’t expect anyone else to “fix” you. It’s hard to deal with an emotional vampire who depends on you to fix their emotional problems
@@user-od5fh3gn4d , i was referring to people you don't expect.
sometimes people come in to your life and brings a new light.
Keeping them close and be friending them, having a mutual beneficial relationship is what i meant.
i cant believe you managed to turn this into something negative.
@@user-od5fh3gn4d i see. i understand
@@user-od5fh3gn4d almost every type of plot is reused in different stories...
Oh no, I said too much truth to it...
This is beautiful. We all need seven minutes of pink rain once in a while. Thank you. 😊
Yes!!!
Totally agree! I will carry a yellow umbrella for you. 😊
😂 awe
Anything pink and I'm happy.
I love this. This is so much what it's like to suffer from depression! It doesn't mean you're never happy, just that it is SO HARD to hold on to those little sparks, and life keepster catching up with you and it seems to come so naturally and easily for other people sometimes... but it does really help.
This moment is the one we have. The pink floofs are always there if we want to see them. The past and future require pills.
maybe the happiness could of continued if he just sat down next to the one that brought that joy in the first place.
100% ❤️ Thank you for saying what my brain couldn't put together.
@@ic07291 I pray for someone like that. I really think I just need a jumpstart and I'll be better, not cured (I have lifelong MDD) but I'll be better if I had someone actually want me and tell me opposite what my brain brings me down with.
Deus é cura e felicidade ❤
today on November 18 2023 I will leave my comments on this short video, I will return to these comments after 14 years, if I am still alive.
When you come back, respond to my comment so i can also come back. Nov 18, 2023
also respond mine ：）
Also respond to me
Nov 19 2023 lets see each other around here ❤
Are you still alive?
I want a rain like this in real life
Most rain is soft -- it's just not pink...
Celebrate the rain as it is!
...or pretend it's pink!
☮❤
As someone suffering with severe depression right now, I'm so thankful for this video, for shiny, happy people like the girl in the video...and for how rain turned into pink fluffballs. Something to wonder at. Something to dance in. This is really beautiful ❤
❤
Sending you warmth and goodness, friend. Please hang in there. The world is a brighter place because you are here. 💛
Just charming and delightful, but with an important message. As someone who suffers with depression, it is so important to get mental health across to the world, thank you for highlighting this ❤
So true, I deal with it all of the time. It takes a lot out of me. But, this to will pass at times. Thank you for this lovely movie.
Soft hearts are the one who can fade the depression from a person.😊
Sometimes, but not necessessarily alway, unfortunately
More like ease it, depression isn't something that goes away just because you are not alone anymore.
A lot of people feel so ashamed when they have a good life, but can't feel happy about it.
Thats why we have to learn to enjoy the things we can, even when we feel down.
Awww I was not expecting that ending.😊
Don’t expect other people to “fix” you
This was fantastic and a perfect reminder to be kind to one another. One act of kindness could give someone the strength to keep fighting for another day. 💕
2:40
I love this scene.
The change in music.
The soft patter plus the visual drops?
So serene. 💙
This is beautiful - thank you Sarahx Kelvin and the whole studio! Please don’t stop making these; they are art and deserve celebration and recognition
Be kind to others and yourself. Very good message.
What an excellent story, and top notch animation with such great attention to detail. I loved how the pink puffs moved away as they danced, and the waves outward as they circled. Just amazing!
Spreading joy in waves...!
I wish i can bring warmth in someone's rainy life but right now i have to fight the storm myself first.
Well, you certainly can, even very small acts of kindness are more than enough.
For instance, pay attention to people who are usually invisible to others.
When entering the bus, really see the driver and say hello to him and wish him good day.
When buying something, sincerely thank to the person who is selling it to you, look them into their eyes, smile and wish them good day. Etc.
I'm 100% certain, if you try this, you'll make someone's day at least a bit better, and it will also make your day a bit better.
I wish you all the best!
I can't believe I live in the reality where it doesn't rain cute little fuzzy guys 😭
I love this i didnt understand at first why the puff balls were something everyone was trying to avoid but once you understand the bigger picture it all makes sense .... on a diffrent note i once noticed ppl never do tend to enjoy the rain but if you do there is something so magical about it one day i just stood there in the pouring rain and eventually i found myself laughing its really so beautiful when you dont run from it
I always used to go out and dance in the rain when I was a child and a couple of times as an adult. Rain is often seen as a negative thing but it should be celebrated as you stated.
Leaving this here before this blows up :)
Too late🥴
When we bring our kindness to each other out there in the world, in unexpected ways, we make the world a soft and fuzzy place for us all to inhabit! Those soft pink things need to be emojis❤
This was really sweet until he dropped her on the sidewalk and tried to run away.
Hope he apologized later, and keeps his happiness.
as someone whos been struggling with depression most their life, thank you for this! it really isnt obvious, and those who try to make others feel better are truly a gift ❤ beautiful animation!
This is delightful. As someone who used to suffer from depression it really resonates. I hope anyone who sees my comment is able to get out from the cloud of depression and has a good life. You are worth it. 💙
May we all dance in the rain💕
If it would rain so cute Woolies i would be happy and would take some home with me to love and care for them like sweet friends. I love that not all woolies have vanished, that some waited for him at home.
He originally could not see them due to his depression and with the kindness and friendship from the young lady he had a happy moment and the sigh at the end was his Aha moment that he realized. Also the pink fuzzies replaced the pill jar so it gives us hope that his life will turn around and hopefully the pills will no longer be needed in time
It’s all about perception.
So charming, and somewhat intriguing! Loved the surprise twist at the end!
How lovely! No violence no sex no blood and thoroughly enjoyable…….. ❤
Such a lovely film, thank you so much for creating this ❤
I loved this. Loved the image of the joy that they created while dancing as it rippled through the pink puffs. Be Kind...... Just be kind.
Beautiful! I love it! Bravo to the team!
Tuesday I bought an agenda and the same quote in the biginning of this short film is written on the cover of that agenda. It's the quote that drove me to buy it. What a lovely synchronicity. And great quote at the end of this wonderful short animated movie. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
The single picture of whom you can assume to his dad, looking as sad and alone as he does, at the side of the staircase is a nice detail. That got me, man.
I need part 2 where they go on a date

🎼RAIN AGAIN 🎼
Today is my birthday. And my day started so badly I got up from bed like the man in the video and continued with the same weariness In real life, someone like the girl in the video will not come and make my day. I understand that. So today I'm going to do something to make beautify my own day.
Yeap I'm best for myself. And you're best your self let's go Beauty❤
Although It Is a little bit late, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂🍭🍡🍿🍩🍬
You know taking an antidepressant has totally changed my life. I used to think I was lazy, but it just turns out I had no motivation because I was depressed. I'm still not perfectly happy, but it's great to finally have motivation.
I've been in that situation for a while now and it's gotten so bad that even trying to find the motivation to find and get help is so hard to do..
@@sherlawkombs Yeah, I totally understand. You definitely have to try and force yourself. I know that is easier said then done. I don't know if meds are going to help you, but sitting in it without trying to get help definitely isn't helping. Best of luck to you.
@@sherlawkombs 10 years ❤️
Beautiful message....reconnect with nature...it changes one's perspective..it brings one's senses alive...we have forgotten our interconnectedness with all life forms on this beautiful planet. Thank you ❤
She consoled him, though there were marks of self harm on her arm. Much hope in this simple message.❤️🩹❤️🩹
I noticed the marks too, adds another depth.
💔❤️🩹💔❤️🩹💔❤️🩹💔❤️🩹💔❤️🩹💔
This has been on my watch later playlist and I finally found time today as I'm off work and it was worth it. I always try to stay positive and enjoy the little things and seeing things differently. I realize I can blame life on the traumatic things that happened or I can take everything that happened and have different outlook on it. I choose the new outlook on it, it has happiness attach to it.
When life hands you lemons make lemonade. Love it!!!❤❤🙏🙏
The idea probably comes from a Persian poem by Sohrab Sepehri that says: "Must wash the eyes,
Must view from a different perspective.
Must wash the words.
Words must become the mere essence of the wind,
Words must become rain, on their own.
Must close the umbrellas,
Must walk under the rain..."
I hope and wish everyone gets to feel this one day♡♡♡ so beautiful ♡♡♡ things always work out as long as you try, take your time, have patience♡♡♡
Gotta love it when it rains warm fuzzies 😊
All I can say is nothing lifts my spirits more than dancing in the summer rain 🌧️
This is the best and cutest short film i have ever seen.
What a beautiful film. Thank you for sending this creation of joy into the world! I loved the shadows and the colour combinations. The story and the artwork were so thoughtful and nuanced.
I wish to experience such a cute rain.
So beautiful! Since at the end it says “depression isn’t always obvious,” I’m thinking that means the girl is depressed too, and the rain helps her feel better. For the man, his pills help him feel better. The reason the pills turn into fluff balls at the end is so we can see that both the rain and the pills are helping the different characters feel better momentarily. Obvs I could be totally off lol but this was so lovely to watch!🩷🩷🩷
Wow, I am crying. This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
This is relatable❤ depression can be hard while doing daily tasks. And the depression is not visible. We appreciate people who just help other ppl and make us feel hope and happiness in that moment.
Can you show us how did you made this film behind the scene? This has nice mixture of physical clayamtion with digital editing.
It does if you only use your imagination a little:-)
This just proves so much. The fact that you can always find hope and there’s always a bright side to everything. Also you can always find joy or love or even happiness in the darkest of times or places. I like the lessons and the meaning of this short film.
!
Omens Studios, thank you so much! This has really touched me. My life has been turned upside down the last few days. I've been battling depression and taking the med in the video, so when I just came across this, it just felt very personal. Thank you for giving me a good perspective to unfortunate events in life!
The point is he didn’t think what he had felt with the woman on the street was real. He dismissed joy as fantasy and perceived depression as being all that is real. When he got home, he was reminded that real medicine IS joy.
Love this short! We need more content like this on UA-cam
It means (to me)..You are the Master of Your own creation...Happiness...Sadness...it depends on how someone will take that....The cheerful lady tried her best to make the Man happy...but when in the scene where they both take the bus...he chooses to sit alone...that means he did not embrace the happiness..but succumbed to his sad melancholy....on the other hand the Lady kept her joy intact. Everything has got two sides to them...important is which one You want to perceive....❤
Oh so that's why it's called soft rain. Unique❤
Quite a contradiction from the short story, There Will Come Soft Rains, by Ray Bradbury.
A true friend knows the song in your heart.....and can and will sing the words back to you....even when you've forgotten how....❤
Loved the little quote at the beginning.
My interpretation of this short film is live your life and let go of all the "what if...", "routine", "feeling sorry for myself". Let it all go and live!
OMG🥰This was so warm and wholesome. Thank you.
I love rain - it is watering the plants in a world which gets dryer and warmer every year...
...but it can also hide your tears when you are crying... of sadness or joy...
I wish for pink rain😂. This was Great 😊
😂
Rain can be cold and miserable but only if you let it. See the beauty in everything around you and that rain can be amazing. It feeds the flowers and grass. It washes the roads. It can lift your spirits but only if you see the beauty in the rain! 🌧️
This is simply beautiful. Thank you for this. ❤❤❤❤
Wow an Awesome Animation very well done it brought a smile to my face when I saw the pink fluffy rain in his bathroom cabinet I suffer from depression some days are good & some are bad days thanks for making this animation.
I love the little pink balls of the rain ,its so cute and can gives joy to someone who are suffering from depression or sadness, but i didn't like so much this short love story ,if they love each other, why they didn't stay together ?! I hate passenger love cause it's such a sad ended experience 😭
The message is just beautiful. I love this! ❤️❤️
Soft hearts are the one who can fade the depression from a person.
This speaks volumes! Well done!
😢💖 Watching this short film brought tears to my eyes. It whisked me back to the beautiful memories of when I first met my boyfriend. Back then, he was battling depression, just like the guy in the film. In those moments, I wished with all my heart that I could be the healing touch to his pain and witness the magic of his smile. 🌈💑
The girl with glasses in the film seemed to embody my role in his life, bringing joy and warmth. 🤓💕 Even if it was just a tiny spark of happiness, realizing that I could make a difference in his life filled my heart with immense joy. 💓💫 Embracing the profound power of love, I am grateful for the chance to be the one who brought a precious smile to his face. 😊🌟
I love you so much babe 💖
That soft rain ☔️ looks like fun 🤩
Depression is a real monster hard to confront to those dealing with it
Hey everybody! Its been a long ride with depression and stuff since i was a kid, i'm 42 now and still here! HANG ON THERE! You can do it, you allways can!!
Ride a bike, swim, paint, dance and sing! Love yourself and yes: BE KIND WITH YOURSELF!.
The light work in this animation is incredible.
Yep.
Sometimes it’s the little things that bring joy.
Wonderful film!! 😄 TY! 💖
Dude I take setraline for long time
Not because I wanted to be happy or get rid of depression
I got it because I was diagnosed with psychosis
Thank God I am better now
Such a wholesome animation! Loved the style!
The video and the comments here made me cry 😭 ❤ this is so wholesome bless y’all’s souls
Loved this! Subscribed. Thanks for the bit of joy that smiling created while watching this film.
Have you noticed her arm? I think she's depressed as well
She is!!! What an excellent observation. She provides him with hope because she's out of it! 💛💛💛
The cutest thing I seen today. Thank You.
Thank you creators
That exhale he had...I had while watching him and I NEEDED TO.
❤
Today on December 21 2023 I will leave my comments on this short video, I will return to these comments after … years, if I am still alive…,
I love this. Well done.
Woah! The foley in this is amazing! Beautiful animation too with memorable character designs!
That was heartfelt and excellent in its execution. Thank you - From A Depression Survivor 🙂❤
Wow...i want a soft rain like this in real life..
Every day we get to decide whether we will be happy no matter what or not. It rains upon us all, at times. It slows us down , at times. Prepare to carry our own happiness regardless.
This is lovely and gorgeously done!
A simple smile can change a person’s life 🩷🩷
Thank you❤❤❤
So lovely! ❤
Awesome talk at the blender conference this year! Great animation to go with it :)
This was beautiful! Really loved the audio to it! Well done 😊
Love it. makes me think of the last knit.
Oh what an absolutely gorgeous short film that is! Great work guys
Thank you for this.
This was such a sweet video! Loved it.
