keep breathing.

*The clips are from 2:37, thirteen, fiona apple videos, SKINS, foo fighter video, white oleander, christina aguilera video, stigmata, rules of attraction, and one short one from a clip I found here on youtube.*

thanks for the comments :]

wow, it's been a while since I posted a video...there's some things I would've liked to change about this one, but I'm too lazy to trigger another battle 'tween me and Windows Movie Maker. *sigh* :]
the song wasn't long enough, so I had to improvise :] Used quotes from Girl, Interrupted in the beginning; if you didn't understand them:

"Have you ever confused a dream with life?
Or stolen something when you have the cash?
Have you ever been blue?
Or thought your train moving while sitting still?
I know what it's like to want to die.
How it hurts to smile.
How you try to fit in but you can't.
How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."

video is directed @ suicide & self-harm & such. [no, I'm obviously NOT encouraging it, however, there ARE strong images used in this]
media used plucked from various sources, mostly at random :]
@ 2:51, the quote is horribly misspelled, heh- it's supposed to say, "A scar is what happens when the world is made of flesh."- The Favourite Game, Leonard Cohen.

Song: Keep Breathing - Ingrid Michaelson

& oh yeah, the video runs on a bit longer than I'd intended...it ends after the song ends...^^

I used to watch this video all the time when I was in my deep, dark stage.

This is my first time watching it since I got my life back on track.

I am now happier than ever.

There is hope out there for everyone!

Don't give up just yet!

[bananababie1]

yep, at the computer screen..

its impossible to cry and smile at the same time :)

[mishacm1]

I always cry watching this...but I think it saved me.

I'm so glad I found this video. I used to watch this a lot and it helped me through hard times. When I was younger, I tried to kill myself. Living as a transgender teen made it so that I felt like I would never be good enough, never pretty enough. That nobody would love me. There were times where I couldnt go a day without thinking about suicide.

But I'm glad to say that I'm growing--that I'm alive. I have big goals :) And I've found someone that loves me..myself

[SiouxieQ22]

I cannot express how glad I am that I am alive. Scars and all. At least I'm here to tell my story.

[ftstepsonbrokenglass]

@GenderQueerDude No.. Death is best for no one. Trust me.

[woahxitsxemily16]

This is the most amazing video I have ever seen. It's perfect! Thank you so much for turning something so serious into a video that has been viewed as something uplifting..

[aokska]

i still feel as if the world would be better without me. i feel like a flea on a dogs back, just a bother. i ask of things that i know im never going to recieve, a home, love, happiness, care, gentleness, friends, will to live, courage, strength. i feel worthless, meaningless, puny, forgotten, ignored, uncared for, a problem. just an invisible parisite that doesnt matter a thing.
