It's been a really difficult year and a bit for so many of us. I still feel paused. Still feel like time is weird and fleeting. But I wanted to make this video--and add to my little series of short video essay videos--because I've felt for a very long time that so many of us are so hard on ourselves.
We're taught that we can be any in the world if we work hard enough. But the truth is, not all of us can become anything we want with ease. We have obstacles. We have challenges. And so many of us wake up at a certain age, and realise that we haven't yet achieved the things we wanted by that time. That's not to say we won't achieve these things--it's just that we need to be kind to ourselves in the process.
To say that life is about the jOurNeY sounds silly and cliché. But in a way, it's true. And the way I've dealt with these feelings is by focusing on the small things. The little joys. The tiny pieces of magic, while working towards bigger things. I hope you like this video. I think we should all forgive ourselves for the things we did not become. Take care and enormous love 💛
P.S. The title was inspired by a photo I saw on tumblr when I was sixteen that turned out to be taken from a line in a Doc Luben poem called '14 Lines from Loveletters or Suicide Notes'.
