Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee New N’Tasty! (2014)
i wanted to recommend some special videos that i’ve been using to help me sleep.
to understand the videos, first let me explain asmr. asmr is a tingingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, and peripheral areas that certain people experience when exposed to “triggering” noises such as whispering, tapping sounds, running water, and all sorts of things. it’s kind of hard to explain, so here is the wikipedia article on it.
now, you may not have or experience asmr. not everyone can get the tingles, but that doesn’t matter. the point is that there is a wonderful youtube community dedicated to making asmr videos full of soothing sounds and relaxing whispers.
these videos are excellent at helping people with anxiety, insomnia, depression, and other stressful mental conditions. i’ve used them recently to help me calm down and get to sleep at night. i thought i would list a few of my favorites here for you all in the hopes that they help you, too.
*remember to listen with headphones because most of the asmr artists use 3D microphones.
- my go-to “getting to sleep” video (includes whispering, tapping, hair brushing, and personal attention)
- the sleep police is here to help you get some rest
- a good witch finds you and gets you ready for sleep
- various relaxing sounds/triggers
- another sounds/triggers video
also, here is a video if you’re really upset and need a friend to talk to
- supportive friend here for people with suicidal thoughts, bullying, anxiety, or depression (i know there are other videos like this out there, but this one is just very helpful and i like it a lot)
you are all beautiful and strong, and you deserve peace. sleep well tonight <3

“Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.” — Leila Sales, This Song Will Save Your Life (via onlinebabe)

““We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.”
- Thich Nhat Hanh (via cosmic-rebirth)”

Yeah, especially when those ten years are up, and you are left with your diploma and nothing else.
