This is most definitely the best UA-cam video I’ve ever watched. I have always loved the art of storytelling through short and long films, and you bring such a poetic feel to this one. Not in the sense that it is pleasantly poetic or romantically poetic. It is disturbingly poetic. Everything is off-putting, confusing, and distorted. The music perfectly represents the eery feeling, as if you’re waiting for life to change, you’re waiting for the turning point, but it never comes. You’re waiting for nothing. But you’re not really waiting at the same time, and that’s the weird thing. You’re distracting yourself, maybe? There’s no way to describe it. That gives me chills. I’ve always been in a deep-thinking headspace, so this video makes me feel seen. The attention to every detail, even the minute, makes me feel very satisfied. I could go on and on, but really, I just want to say that wow, I’m amazed. Learned talent can only take you so far with art. The type of person you are now was naturally born and raised for this kind of art.
i can’t express how much your thoughtful consideration and words mean to me. i read them last night. thank you thank you thank you!
y'know, after watching this video, i realized i never check how much time is left in your videos, just like i would with an engrossing movie~
something strange i've been experiencing lately related to time is this weird feeling of "present-ness". whenever i briefly lose my attention a bit in lecture or while doing work in the library or while walking from class to home, i lose framing of the current "plot" i'm going through day to day; instead, i'm able to introspectively look at my current life and the things around me from the tunnel vision of me from when i was 9 years old, 13 years old, 17 years old, so on. i think this is because, for the longest time, i've daydreamed about what my life would be like as an adult- as a young man- in college. and now that i'm here, i'm beginning to realize how myopic i was as a kid... all i wanted to do was get into college. that was my entire life goal. subconsciously or not i'm pretty sure i thought that after i got accepted into college and graduated from high school i would ride off into the sunset and that would be the end of things.
hope all is well at princeton
hi alex! glad to see you here again, and thanks for your words. i hear you for sure. it’s been on my mind too-how much less “present” i am now than when i was younger. and time felt slower then too. it’s fun to dream and it’s necessary to think ahead but it sometimes takes away from the living… idk. i always appreciate your thoughtfulness. i hope you’re well too! :)
your new video notification gives me the same vibes as receiving a heartfelt handwritten letter
i will keep coming back to this, & i love the way you talk, the pronunciation, the strange eerie music and the way you say words. it makes me happy, the quietness, and your thoughts,
i so so love that you love it all. the quietness especially :)) thank you so much
this was so beautiful, im in awe
thank you for watching my videos :)
Your videos are like a soothing balm to my soul, and the effort you put into these videos is remarkable.
Thank you so much for making them, I really mean it.
Lovely, simply lovely. Same vibes as Vienna by Billy Joel
The first thing I thought of!
so yay :) thank you
@@inafinity.check dms btw! sent you a note 🙂
INA, omg. I’ve said this a million times and I will say it a million more times your videos make me feel so warm and cozy. You are such a beautiful human being and I’m so glad that I’m able to see the world through your eyes. You motivate me so much :) I hope this comment finds you well
incredible work of art as always ina :)
Your videos make me feel a certain way that I'm not sure I can articulate that well. They're my source of intellectual stimulation. You've been really important in helping me pass my finals. Every time that I'd burn out, I would play a video of yours to relax to refresh my mind. I love your work so much.
Thank you and I hope you keep uploading.
Also would you be comfortable with sharing your stats/ecs, I'm applying this year and I'm really nervous.
this is a late reply, but thank you for your words. i read them when you wrote them and they still mean so much. wishing you the best in your efforts. i’m thinking of making a long-overdue stats vid for sure. hope it all goes well for you!
@@inafinity. tysm! looking fwd to the stats video, please keep uploading!
Wow I really like this video. It's so relaxing.
thank you! that is so lovely to hear
@@inafinity. for sure 🫶🏼🫶🏼
The soundproofing in Princeton dorm seems to be very good, you can even use a big speaker. Oh yeah I saw you got a record player emmmm… that’s chic. Whose records do you have?
Time goes faster each day… sometimes I feel lost. In bocca al lupo
I am curious about what you mean by “I was floating?” Is that a new slang? It sounds poetic.
hahaha honestly i don’t even know. just a feeling i think
I love this❤
Do you like the weather in Princeton?
