    Future

    This video tells about how we perceive the importance of our lives. The author tries to convince the audience that, although we like to think about ourselves as generous, we don't give what is most important: a safe and bright future. We are just being convenient instead. The author would hope to inspire why it is of the highest importance to take steps to help our planet for the future generation.

    See You Later

    In 2019, I lost my father to illness. My world was turned upside down; and I lost myself for years. He would always say to not use “bye” to end a conversation. To instead say “See you later”. We always did that, but the final time I ever spoke to him, I was busy and the last thing I said to him was “Ok”. I will never get to say another thing to him, but I’ve finally been able to forgive myself
