hi my friends~*
this lil video is not only a reminder to slow down and appreciate your present moments more, it is also a mini tribute to New York City... the city that changed everything for me. It taught me to believe in myself and never give up on my dreams, because everything is possible. one day I'll make a dedicated video for that while being in NYC itself, heh. but I hope I could manage to pass off the transformative energies the city has shown me.
please remember I'll always be rooting for you to become the best versions of yourself xx

it’s funny seeing this now because i’m at a point of transition in my life as well and also thinking so much about how i can go about documenting my life and expressing through video but i keep hitting blocks with myself that stop me from going forward with it. but that’s a normal thing and i feel like i’m close to coming out with a lot of the pent up feelings i’ve had over the years -- you put this together so beautifully and i really admire how you filmed what you filmed in the places you did because i definitely feel myself how difficult it is to just pull the camera out, and set it up on the tripod and be creative with the different angles and transitions. nice work !!
