      His face and intonation at that moment, also the little laugh and the whole scene in general filled me with sadness. But a good kind of sadness, like when you watch a well directed movie.

      @@cocolover13579 it’s hard to describe, but it’s starts with not taking things so seriously. I mean, if you’re interacting with your boss, or authority figures, or just in a situation where you can inwardly tell you should be being serious, do that. HOWEVER, for the rest of this life, just try and relax. Use gestures and speech to your advantage (rubbing the back of your neck, snapping to emphasize a point, boisterous laughter). Idk I’m not sure this is good advice, but my main point would be to relax, understand when the stakes are low, don’t be afraid to admit your awkwardness, and remember that there’s really no such thing as “failure” in social interaction.

      It reminds me of this friend I had named Hank. Growing up we were best buds, but he grew up faster than me and at some point he was just hanging out with me because his parents made him.
      At some point we switched positions in life and I wound up making it, whereas he caught a felony charge in his mid-20s. He moved back to his childhood home in our old neighborhood, now run down and void of any familiar faces. His sister had moved on and gotten a good career, his dad died, and his mom was the only one left.
      This is what his life has become, minus anyone from the past. It's super sad and this video depicted it very well.

    I feel the desperation and the fear of the unknown for the future in his portrayal of this young man. The feeling of this is as good as it gets. So he squashes the feeling with just keeping his head busy with idle chit chat and good memories of the recent past when he thought "I knew", to the slow acknowledgement of I don't know how I am going to make it.

Like I almost dislike the thing because of how detached I am from it. Because sometimes I feel like it's something that even if I dont like it or dont care about it, I dont want to forget it. And that's what this video reminds me of. It's not like it's an experience that the next generation wont experience in their way.

I thought it was a lot of money at that time. These 10 "dollars" made me feel so safe (I'm not american, I just converted the amount to dollars). Until I got into my first relationship, and got a 10 dollar bracelet for the guy for his birthday. He didn't get me anything for my birthday, and didn't even call me that day. IT was the most painful day of my life (until then). I spent that 19th birthday by the river, alone, in agonising inner pain. This is the first time, I tell this story.

      It's ok. Now you know where you are at and see more clearly where you have been. It's hurts, a lot; it's ugly to see us in such a vulnerable and flawed light, but is important. It's important because only the we can build a better view of who we are and start to accept the fact they we are flawed, since we are human, and recognize it and start to work towards a healthy solution, since we are children of God, or have honest potential to become better humans; whichever you chose to believe.
      It's hard, but it's worth it; and being moved by a reflection of yourself in a different life, a different light, is just the first step towards recognition and change. And I believe we can change to be good, and then great.
