I do feel like I am supposed to be somewhere else, but snapping the fingues is not the way I want to get there. The process to get there is important and unless we go through those barriers we won't be wherever we were supposed to be.

This reminds me of my incessant internal "should" list for what I think would create a deeper, more meaningful life - peak experiences, deep relationships, poignant conversations, creating beautiful objects, enjoying more sense pleasures, helping to alleviate suffering in the world. Instead, I could simply fully notice what is all around me and engage with it, even the mundane.
@lisadiane55goosebumps <3
@SophieJongejanmagical video lovelyyyyy
@SILAAEDITI'm glad I watched this. It wasn't what I was expecting. Also, if you can't be with the people you love, appreciate the ones you're with.
@virginiavoigt2418Take a break from worrying about what you can't control. Live a little. Namo Amituofo 🙏 All well, happy & peaceful.
@leisurelyupliftthese are such beautiful squares and amazing ideas. I am filming my own short film with iphone, may i ask, do you get permission from the people you shoot or can we just shoot?
@MowuwqBeautiful. Lovely voice over as well.
@Doris-r5xI’m forever grateful and blessed to have watched this short video. I've downloaded & forwarded your film to at least 125 people from my mobile contact list. Of course by mentioning your name as creator of this billon-dollar worth film. Lots of love & respect to you. 💌💌🙏🙏
@Hello_Vivek_abcdamn.
@indianbreadboy127This is so nice
@stupidestbrokeguyI feel like i've missed but also opened up a lot of the stories from what i did. It was when i opened this video, i spent a good 1 minutes to know the "deal" of this video. I wandered into the comment section on the force of habit then without i realized, the video ended. I know something about this video, but i may never understand it without watching it again.
It feels like life.
Live for the moment, the now. Not easy, I know, but don't look back what has been has been and try not to think ahead.
@tedfunkyBeautifully done
@Rjmac-y1pAnyone, who got reminded of the movie - The Boy, the fox, the mole and the horse
@SomeAnimal-x9sneeded to hear this
@thifalrnA simple poet, simple video, but a deep meaning.. I love it
@ejoyceveDON'T YOU FEEL HOW ROTTEN YOU ARE? LOVE WAR.
@jeronimotamayolopera4834it's easier said than done
@DeeherdAs a documentary filmmaker, I absolutely love this. You proved that you don't need a massive crew or expensive gear to capture pure, authentic human emotion. Rome looks stunning, but it’s your eye for the 'real' moments that makes this short film so impactful. Keep creating!!!
@arttellinglooks like it too...no sync dialog, no depth of field, no smooth zooms through glass... .pass.
@drianAlbaI took a ss of the airplane
@JyotiJanvi-q4eJust stumbled upon this film, and I aspire to be a film maker too. films like these make me want to keep going. Beautiful, beautiful shots by the way ❤
@Saanvii_.gI also live a little
@suniljayaratne5418had me crying in the first 30 seconds 🙃
@surakshyabhandari1200Very well done and a great message!
@wayneandrus240i loved everything about this short! You truly just have to live a little
@bh.creatorsYou don't have to do these things every day to be successful......
@Ahmedsnfbkfjcib334What is the music in 1:20
@LobarsdiaryWhat is the song name?
@MUHAMMADRAHMAN-z6jBgm?
@SheikhfardeenishaqueThanks for your nice film.
I am approaching 50.
For the past 25 years I have been living in a place (not my birth country) where thousands of tourists come every year.
Very often I really try to tell myself that it IS a beautiful place - but I don't feel I belong here, I don't feel the people are nice.... I just don't want to stay here and I can't see the beauty anymore.
Your message is very nice, but it doesn't always work and sometimes we just really need a change...
Music please?
@apobandikyan4577Fantastic. Well done
@joshrussell3341Thanks for sharing this, learned a lot.
