Fireflies - M4A
Added 2022-05-23 16:49:45 +0000 UTCIt's been a couple years, but I've finally come back to town. We decide to get together again and in our usual spot, but this time the stars aren't the only beautiful lights here...
This audio is a sequel to Stargazing, one of my favorite audios I've made, and one of the few things I've really put myself into, rather than played a character. Just like Stargazing, there is talk of mental health and emotional struggles, but it's all within the framework of comforting, talking through your problems in a calm and comfortable environment, and realizing that no matter what you're going through, you are not alone. Please, enjoy.
*This will go on Reddit next week, as well as YouTube.

It's truly the most amazing thing in the world to me that I can give you that. Give you true emotions, true cathartic reactions to my words and my emotions and my story. All I've ever wanted was to make people feel things, whether joy or bliss from my entertainment, or emotional clarity and intimacy from just being another human being and talking through shit. I am so grateful that I've been given this opportunity to give that to you. You deserve it 💕💕

2022-05-27 19:32:40 +0000 UTCi really wish that i could put into words how stargazing and now fireflies make me feel. every time i try it just never feels like enough. there's no way i can convey what they do for me emotionally, so there's no way for me to ever thank you in a way that's meaningful enough. it doesn't feel like enough to say thank you, or to tell you how grateful i am you exist and you choose to create these things that are so personal, letting people know that they aren't alone in what they're going through. it doesn't feel like enough to tell you that you've put into words feelings that i've never been able to, and i have a better understanding of myself because of it. it doesn't feel like enough to tell you that i cried, because i could never possibly explain why. this just makes me *feel* so much. and i think that's a gift. thank yous are never enough but they're all i have so... thank you.

2022-05-27 01:32:30 +0000 UTCWith lines like that I guess you could say I definitely have a flair for the dramatic haha. And thank you. I'm glad that you could relax and just enjoy being open and emotional alongside me. This and Stargazing definitely have been nice and cathartic projects for me. 💕💕

2022-05-24 16:17:46 +0000 UTC"it's like we're trading ghosts" wow, what a beautiful and haunting analogy. i don't dwell on the past too much but when i am occasionally hit with waves of nostalgia, i find that i see the memories and people with rose colored glasses. it makes the memories sweeter, though not entirely realistic. i realized that it's not so much about missing the people who used to be in my life but rather the closeness we shared. i'm usually wary of meta and fourth wall breaking audios, but with this audio and stargazing i felt nothing but comfort, peace, and appreciation for the person behind the creator. i relate all too well to some of the things you struggle with, but there's something cathartic about sitting with that and acknowledging that you've been through difficult times, but it's going to be ok, you're going to be ok. thank you for sharing something so special with us 🤍

2022-05-23 20:31:15 +0000 UTCEliii ellliiii!!!! I don't know if I have the words to express how beautiful this is! So soft and beautifully spoken! The hug at the beginning was soooooo sweet! I think you may have been telling the truth when you said you give the best hugs bc I felt all warm fuzzy and cozy all the way in my living room! Also I think you're turning me into a lil softie bc I may have teared up bc of how soft this was and I'm not usually a cryer at all. Im really glad you decided to make this. Feeling safe and held is such a lovely feeling and this was basically *safe and held* in audio form! There really is just something about you that just feels safe and it's such a beautiful thing to be able to make people feel safe and cared for! Anyways thanks for sharing another one of your beautiful works of art with us!🖤
