Hey :) I'm from Japan, and I live near Tokyo. I'm glad your note showed up on my algorithm! Congratulations on everything you've accomplished so far :)
Tokyo truly is restless. Almost everything is timed, everyone is obligated to be on schedule, and before you know it, it's Monday again. So I really agree with your reflection: we need to focus on the present.
so glad i found this 🤎 i'm literally in the middle of planning a trip to tokyo/kyoto. also i live in the dmv and would love to be on the screening list
I love this line, "The easiest way to let all this goodness escape you is to be shackled by time, and to abandon gratitude." We do miss so much because of those reasons. We keep going and going without pausing to appreciate.
Yesss- It’s actually screening for a limited time online here https://www.festflix.tv at ATL Shortsfest this month only, but we will definitely be bringing it back to ATL soon! Fingers crossed xoxo
You look beautiful, first let me start off with that. the line that got me — hold excitement and stillness at the same time. that’s the whole thing. we spend so much energy rushing toward the proof when the living is already happening. congratulations on Love Song. that’s not luck, that’s years. so happy for you. 🖤
Aww thanks love. I appreciate all that. And you are right that it has been years in the making, but so happy to be here, and can’t wait to see what unfolds. In the meantime, gonna maintain this positive energy. Keep doing your thing as well! <3
“Take some time to look at yourself as if you didn’t already know yourself. How amazed would you be?”
Because I’m actually the woman that little me always wanted to be. Free. Global. Entrepreneurial. Loved. Authentic. The list goes on. It’s so easy to forget this and just keep pushing on for the next thing. Thanks for the reminder to embrace this moment.
This was such a good read, it felt so familiar! What a great reminder to ground ourselves in the present moment and call to awareness in the fact that many of us our living out our prayers and just don't realize it. Can't wait to read your other posts and wishing you all the best with the film festival!
The most important time is right now” really stayed with me. There’s something deeply human about simultaneously holding gratitude, exhaustion, ambition, presence, and uncertainty all at once. I think a lot of people will see themselves in this piece. Also, congratulations on Love Song premiering at ABFF. That’s incredible and well deserved!!!!!
It really is honestly. I think most people are just so tired of the chase- well I can speak for myself at least lol. I appreciate you for reading and thanks so much for the love. I pray your time is right now!
