What a Beautiful Year!

It was my birthday a little over a week ago and I made a video. If you know me already, you are probably aware that I am a nostalgic person that loves to collect an infinity of things (objects, memories, anything really). That is why I have been keeping track of my everyday memories through videos for the last two years. I made a first "short film" for my 17th birthday, and now that I'm 18, I thought I'd share the one I did to document the last year.

Honestly, I found it hard to edit this time. The year before I turned 17, I spent a lot of time alone. I filmed myself through all my everyday routines and, my ups and downs. It was easy, because there wasn't any distraction from what was around me. On the other hand, I wasn't feeling well either which helped me isolate myself from others. These past twelve months though were totally different; I had a flourishing social life and a thriving self-confidence. Because of all the stimulation, it was harder to focus on this personal project.

When I started editing, it felt as if everything was all over the place. I was so unsatisfied with the final result of the video that I almost decided to abandon. But soon after, I realized my life has been going all over the place, so it's perfectly normal for the project to seem the same way. I altered a few things to make it better and this is what I ended up with. I hope you enjoy it.
