you don't know how much your comment motivated me when i read it. what a beautiful way to put it.. months as days. literally from that moment on i was like OK I NEED TO MAKE MORE, or like, the feeling was intensified (it never goes away). thank you for loving them so much, that's tremendous to me
This is very inspiring. I especially liked the part where you talked about "making myself as lovely as possible" such a fitting and self-caring way to describe picking up clothes every day; also enjoyed the part where you talked about your hopes about summer versus reality. I, too, had imagined a summer full of little adventures and progress for myself. But, the summer is almost never how we imagine. When you are a student and also not employed, the most simple consuming such as buying a coffee or even grocery shopping becomes a guilt - at least for me. In conclusion, the melancholy is there, the melancholy of not being sure of anything you do; yet, still hoping something true will come out of it. Great film!
i've been meaning to write back to you! i'm so glad the feeling resonates. you describe it perfectly-"the melancholy of not being sure of anything you do." thank you for so thoughtfully viewing my work. i love to see what lines you appreciate, what parts hit. sending all the best wishes to you, hope things have been well~
i love u i love u Ina. A while ago I stopped commenting on your vids, but now, I want to talk to you, agaaaain!! I feel the same way, I loved summer, I did so much. I saw beautiful beautiful places, big trees, cold waterfalls, birdies, hills, and rivers. I filmed all these beautiful vids and clicked pictures and observed the tiny things, the flowers in the weeds, the birds chirping. and I miss that time, even if I was actually really sad at the time and felt like I wasnt doing much. then school started and I was confused and scared and felt terrible all the time. I didnt know how to be myself. I was so scared. but its okay now. its gonna be okay. so "no matter what, I'm gonna be strong, I'm gonna observe, I'm gonna write. I'm gonna be okay." thankyou indomitable spiritxx
aw hello again! don't feel any pressure ever to comment, although receiving such a sweet message as this is a treat. i'm happy those sentences stuck with you... and i hope things are going okay. and i just love how you use the "indomitable spirit" reference :) what a spectacular thing! it's all about keeping alive that indomitable spirit :)
I first stumbled upon your channel two years ago through your college decision reaction. Back then I was too young to appreciate the literary and cinematic masterpiece that is your channel. Today morning, I randomly found you on my recommended. Since then, I spent the entire day watching your videos- starting from the graduation video, to this one. I felt as though I was with you every step of your journey , witnessing the transition you have had since then. Just in this short span, I have done so much introspection into my own life, all because of you. I am currently a junior in hs, caught up in all the college admission frenzy. Your videos reminded me to slow down and truly live and experience every moment. I love your work so much. Please never stop creating 🫶🏼🫶🏼
i've been meaning to reply to you for forever! i read your comment three weeks ago, and wow. thank you for making the journey, watching all my videos consecutively like that -- i've never heard of someone doing it, and haha it must've been something. when i think about it, the stuff i made like even a year ago makes me cringe, but it's really nice to know that someone (you) can enjoy it, see the growth and such. and it's special to know that you were here two years ago with the decision video! i'm wishing you all the best in your college process. keep yourself as priority throughout it all. thank you again
You have a gift ! Wowwww I just discovered this channel yesterday and I’m enjoying every minute of it, you’re so talented and gorgeous too, thank you for sharing those amazing videos can’t relate more,Your videos hug and touch me every time, wishing you all the best ❤
This is so so so beautiful, everything. Each frame, each word, everything comes together so beautifully and effortlessly, its a delight to enjoy something you created, thank you :)
i related to this way too hard (context year 2 undergraduate studying in singapore feeling like her summer was “wasted” because she didn’t get a full internship and spent summer battling with those internal voices that she wasn’t enough or didn’t know where she was going and now in the first semester in year 2 - in a different place to where she was in summer but still the same person she was then - still trying to figure life and herself out) beautiful video
"because maybe i regard the writing of observation as most worthy of my time here" "it just feels like it wasn't as much as i hoped... and i guess that's the danger of hoping so much." im going to be ok
Observing, writing, being ok. If you haven’t yet I beg you start reading Proust. Search of Lost Time Book One Swann’s Way, Lydia Davis Translation. You would love it so much I think. He takes observational writing to places unmatched and unseen before or since. Please. I just discovered your videos, your films, I love them, I will now binge, but I had to say you and Proust, yes!
@@inafinity. I saw one video and I had to binge, such thought provoking creations! Swann’s Way, Lydia Davis translation is where I started with Proust. Alaine de Botón has several excellent interviews on How Proust can change your life.
the life you put into this channel is so inspiring to me. you’re one of my favourite people on the internet.
thank you for your kind words. i'm motivated to keep creating because of words like yours!
@@inafinity.keep being you
Agreed
I wish months were days so I could enjoy a new video every night, right before bed.
But enough is as good as a feast.
