[MMV] Better in Time

HD please! ♥ Omg, I wrote this nice long message here but then it didn't save. So, long story short: made this MMV, and it took about a year (didn't work constantly). Also, the reason it's cut off weirdly is because I entered a contest and had to put credits at the end with my real name, which is something I'm not ready to reveal to most of you. And no, I didn't win, and yes, I shall try again next year! Oh, and sorry for the off-timing; I had noticed it earlier, but it takes so long to render that I just decided to upload this. Forgive me! :P [INSPIRATION FOR THIS MMV:] [WARNING: LONG STORY FOLLOWING.] The theme of this MMV was to show any teen girls (or guys) out there that when someone breaks your heart it's not the end of the world, I promise you. I know because yes, I've been there. You guys don't have to put my ex down or anything (we're still good friends 8D), but I just wanted to tell you so you don't think, "Oh, what is this girl talking about? She doesn't know the pain I'M feeling." because that's not true. If anything, I'll know exactly the pain you're feeling. I find that a lot of the time teens in general feel as though we need a guy or girl to complete us and that without that person, our lives would be over, so when he or she leaves we're broken into so many pieces that you can't even imagine how shattered our hearts and selves are. I know this is true because I used to think this too; my life depended on him and when he left, I contemplated everything I shouldn't have. What I had contemplated I'll leave up to your imagination, but I will tell you I suddenly understood why teenagers turned to the things they did. Still blind, I told my mom as I cried that I would wait for him and that he was the only one for me. I'm sure a lot of you would say something similar. However, my mom snapped me out of it; she told me, in short, that life was too short to spend waiting on this one guy who didn't even love me anymore, I was still young, and I should explore my options. Of course, at the time, I thought it was ridiculous-- all I wanted was THAT guy, even if he did break my heart the way that he did. But, in addition to that, she also told me that when Kate Middleton and Prince William were going out, sometimes they broke up and when they did, Kate didn't fall apart. She kept herself up high; she still studied hard and exercised, and in the end, she literally got her prince. I'm not sure if that story was true or not; nevertheless, that story alone gave me the push I needed to get over my ex, and my heartbreak inspired me to make this video for anyone else who's going through a rough time. It didn't come out as inspiring or touching as I had expected and hoped for it to be, but I do hope it helps in any way possible. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't NEED a person to complete you-- whoever you are, I'm positive that you are strong and beautiful enough to live a wonderful life without a guy or girl by your side. And I really want to emphasize that if the relationship doesn't work out, chances are, you'll find many new opportunities awaiting that you hadn't seen before. It's such a cliche saying, but it's so true-- "when one door closes, another one opens..." A continuation of that quote is: "...but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." Thus, I think.. we should let ourselves see that new open door, right? Whether it's a new hobby or a new perspective, instead of ignoring it and letting ourselves drown in grief, why not open that new door and let yourself enjoy yet another part of life? You know, I'm not going to lie to you-- losing someone you care about a lot really hurts, whether that person broke up with you or you had to let go of them. But I do promise you that afterwards, you WILL come out a stronger person and I promise the pain WILL get better in time, and so will you. ------------------------------------- FEATURED: My supportive animator friends - Janice (sasuke1000), Aussi (xMaineStation) [sorry, I changed your bsproj a little because I couldn't find it, so you're the girl with black curly hair :P], & Melody (xTheMelodyTears) CUSTOMS/RESOURCES: Custom pose at train station (where she says "I'm all alone"): HeroPandas White TV - Lydia (DontEatMyPiexD) Heart Breaking GIF - Mehto (awakenedstar) Miscellaneous pictures/GIFs - Tumblr INSPIRATIONS: DontEatMyPiexD xPwahaha Evanstuhhh MapleTheory (& his teaser for Epilogue/Lullaby) ReginaRawrhh / Regina of xleTsRaWrx3 Jellyscent sasuke1000 MentalProdigy SPECIAL THANKS TO: My good ol' friend who just knew how this would come out and for introducing me to animating My close friends Janice, Aussi, & Melody who supported me in my dark time despite the distance My animating family for everything from resources to love ♥ My real life family for encouragement and acceptance My subscribers for all the compliments, faith, and patience
