When the Rain Falls

-kicks some dust off the channel- phew been a while... again... Happy late new year folks! How's everyone been? ^_^ Well i haven't abandoned the idea of vid making so what's a good way to get things off to a good start? Make something! Alright there's at least two tales to this one. So i'll explain as best as I can. The first part is that a certain best friend and I made resolutions to try and get back into making vids and stuff. To put who or what kept us down and trapped in fear and self doubt, in the past and let go. We both stopped for various reasons. Some that couldn't be helped, while others we wish we could've changed. When I resolve to do something and i'm inspired to do so, i do it. So here's hopefully a step in the right direction. Even if vids dont come often, it's better than holding back. Your move my friend! xD Secondly, this is dedicated to that best friend who's seen me through hell and back over the last few years. I didn't want to upload a sad video or a vent video. As easy as it is to portray powerful feelings when we're feeling at our worst, it should be just as easy to portray those powerful feelings when we're happy as well and this actually is that despite how it might seem on the surface to the eyes that aren't reading between the lines. This is from the anime Orange which shot up to being one of my top fave animes ever. The content is so strong and it's something i can relate to. I watched it and i saw myself and my friend in this right up till the last episode and the last episode itself had me in tears and on the feels train xD If you look past the obvious content between the two main characters, there's something more there to be seen on a friendship level and that's what i saw. My best friend has always picked me up when i've fallen. I could be lost in a sea of darkness, drowing without a lifeboat and there they come with their own raft to pull me out as i begin to sink. Times i've felt like im such a bother, that my problems are 'always there' and that it bothers them when I bring anything up. In such things i would often keep quiet and smile and focus on other things yet in spite of such a mask, they come in and know right away. Times when i'm so sad i feel like i've lost it all and boom they pop up, not even knowing something's up but their mere presence brightens my day and makes me smile. It reminds me than i'm not by myself. This friend refuses to let me turn away. I do my best to return such kindness when i know i didnt deserve such given to me to start with. This friend helped me to see there are better things out there, that you dont have to suffer alone, even if said friend is going through stuff, they're still right here to listen. Even if it adds to their own problems. I resolved to myself to let go as best as i could of the things that kept me back. I'm hoping this vid is a step in the right direction to something greater one day that i can put up here without fear or worry. Anyway, the plot here is, is that it's from Naho's View to Kakeru. It should be self exclamitory and obvious. I won't spoil anything story wise beyond that. Just go watch the anime! I highly recommend it! I wanted to convey my friend's view point toward me. I did this in the hopes that they see, i do see when they've been there and I wanted to try and interpret all the good they've done for me. I hope i'm getting their view toward me right and to you, my best friend if you should read this. Thank you so much for everything. You've always been there and i want to do the same for you this year. As annoying as i can be sometimes be it just being my dorky self or asking for help or coming off like a jerk or even being too caring. You've never let me down. I've learned through you that sometimes those little things mean the world and can stop a person from falling off the edge of the world. You dont have to walk alone. ^_^ Thank you for everything. P.S. For the random readers or just a general FYI, i haven't made a vid in half a year soooo if this seems less than perfect or rough then.... sorry? lol. I tried and no one's perfect anyway ^_^ Anime: Orange Music: Right here - Ashes Remain Program: Sony Vegas 10 Coloring used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q116ombW1ZQ
