ROMANCE OF THE ROAD | Van Life Vlog

A van life vlog. Main character energy while going through existential development. I've reworked this video so many times, and by the time I was done with it (a month+ ago), I was paralyzed by the publish button. This might be one of my most intimate videos - alongside navigating a new relationship that we mutually want to keep private. Be gentle 🥺

I literally told myself 'don't blink' as your photos flashed. so artful. felt so special that the thought of replaying feels unreal! like someone telling you a secret they wouldn't just repeat casually

i was obsessing over an unhealthy unhappily crush this morning, but watching this video really grounded me and reminded that true romance implies mutual respect and collaboration, and it doesn’t have to be painful

@thatschicblog 2 жыл бұрын

i know that feeling - if it makes you feel any better... this person in the video, same feelings. had a painful crush on him for a few years. timing brought us together in, possibly, the best versions of ourselves thus far.

@@thatschicblog thank you for sharing that, i really appreciate it! it’s nice to see my situation from this perspective of just accepting what is right now and that it may possibly involve into something in the future (and even if it’s not it doesn’t mean there won’t be love)

I like that you give yourself time to create meaningful, unique reels of art instead of churning out videos on a regular basis for the sake of it. That's what I appreciate about you. No one can do what you do. This was very beautiful.

This one and your japan video gave me the most strange, beautiful, alienating, and intoxicating feelings. You capture everything in such an unreal way that it makes reality seem too real. Seriously beautiful.

I'm sorry Rach for being late to the party. I watched this while eating a tub of ice cream 30 more minutes before midnight. In a cold room, where the only light is coming from the digital clock on the wall. I'm comfortable with where I am right now and you doubled that feeling. Please keep making these vlogs and make us feel like we're home. I love you, Rach. You're an angel.
