1:22 I love that the flame's reflections on the glasses become teardrops, super creative composition
@RubberRoss
This was really awesome, fantastic work!

I love how this demonstrates the power of perception. All those flashing gravestones encapsulating the various ways one could view your life, and yet the character chooses to revoke all the labels and stick with a simple “me.” Sometimes that’s all you need to be in order to be happy. Such a powerful thing to be able to find peace of mind in the way you write your story (making it open ended & full of potential to grow) instead of restricting it by negative thinking. Loved every ounce of this. So many details that I wish I could point out in the visuals and transitions. Instead I’ll let the video speak for itself <3

The usage of the lighter switching from smoking to lighting a birthday candle 😭💫
@TheRealRoyalArtworks
I always love when people leave stuff ambiguous like when she scribbled out mistake and started writing over it but we never see what she wrote. I love it Edit: I see a lot of people saying “oh she wrote this” or “she wrote that”, this is EXACTLY what I was pointing out, it can be interpreted in many different ways but we all know its something positive and it keeps the viewer more engaged to think about what was written vs showing what was written. It’s fun to think about!

i always love how all your animations end up with an optimistic end
@CloDoesArt
I feel the most forgotten in my friend group and it sucks. I remember when my best friends all forgot my birthday as they talked in front of me about a sleepover they had without me. Please remember to communicate and openly appreciate those around you so they don’t go thinking the way I did after being forgotten
@GhostEatingDonut
This got recommend to me when I was actually thinking about how people will forget my birthday, how they won't greet me or even acknowledge me at all. It felt awful, I honestly cried watching this. But it also made me realize that, even if no one does, I will. And it's up to me if I wanna be upset about it or not, made me think about the times I've received gifts previously and how much I was cared for. Thank you, for this beautiful animation

1:13 Is probably the most desperate thought of every sad person, someone to be with them, to trust them, but alas, they got no one.
@Dinesh-XP
The silent moment in the song at 0:55 is a nice touch you added, I really like that it gives us a moment of pause to reflect before going through routine.
@Cardinal_claw
I appreciate the happy ending. So many of these sorts of short films utilize sadness, which is fine, but it gets really draining so i don't watch them often. Having a simple happy tone at the end os so rare. Thank you :)
@GhostCracker0
This is so moving. There’s a child like innocence to the simple question, “Why does no one remember my birthday?” While for some adults it matters less, birthdays mean the world to children. Them not remembering was like a confusing smack in the face saying “I don’t love you”. In the end, they began to love themselves again. It’s truly heartwarming.
@Ofri-b3m
The fact that it is literally me birthday today made this incredibly done animation even better
@farawaygalaxies
Could call me a caveman the way I discovered fire, this singular animation really encompases all the dark feelings we get from our birthdays
@maddesign9118
(2:07) Because you're the first and theonly one who have the right to choose and to know how you want to end.
@alexafoxy0737
Every time I feel useless and weak I come here.. And that's the place which brings me back from the very depths of depression and apathy. Thank you for bringing me back to surface that multiple times..
@andifishgallery9400
The transitions with the cigarette light and lighter, the cigarettes’ light being burnt out to transition into candle light… this is creatively beautiful and heartbreaking all at once
@TheAMaazing
This is an incredible piece of art, thank you so much for showing the world ❤️
@matthewmatt6
0:38 this hit really fucking hard. As a kid, a parent's care and support is incredibly important on them, and when that parent is too busy to properly take care of their child, it gives that kid a sense of neglect and abandonment. I would know because that was my childhood. I had these exact same thoughts. And when I told my mom about it when I was like 8 years old, about if I even should exist... I dont even wanna mention it.. but what she responded with terrified me. I think she thought I was being serious or something... she always told me to stop crying and man up. but nearly a decade later.. that sticks with you. I've gotten better at handling stress, but it doesn't help that life at home is still just as shitty. I literally cant even cry anymore. Yet I was damn close to crying from this part of the video.
