    Your video is amazing, you def deserve more attention! this feeling has haunted me since graduating hs, Sylvia Plath described the dread and horror of it perfectly and you managed to soothe it, by making people feel not alone and bringing us to think about what really matters on our day to day. It’s not easy living in a world that wants to capitalize us and keeps us thinking about success instead of happiness.

    I was feeling distressed and overwhelmed. After watching this video of yours I feel a different kind of peace. I don't really know how to explain it. It's amazing how deeply you have felt this. I am sorry that you had to go through bullying. Thank you for making this video.

      Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad the video offered some peace. It means a lot! And thanks for the kind words-it’s a bummer so many of us have to go through hardships.

    I just finished the bell jar today and have struggled with academic validation my whole life as a dyslexic kid. This is such a great commentary on the poem that like you said haunts people (i am people) still today. You are a gifted artist and this is beautifully said.

    i felt a similar visceral reaction when i first read the same passage about figs from the bell jar,
    it was a indescribable feeling
    i am totally in awe with the way you voiced your thoughts ,
    it was gorgeous ,truly riveting

    you just described so many emotions I've always felt but could never quite put into words. you seem like the type of person I would love to sit at a cafe and talk about life with hahaha. this was such a great and beautifully crafted video :)

    I REALLY LOVE THIS CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE AND THE WAY YOU PUT IT INTO WORDS. I REALLY FELT WHAT YOU FEEL AND IT IS SO DEEP, SO BEAUTIFULLY INSPIRING.
    I studied medicine just to see what my abilities can do and it turns out i don't like it at all. I just chose medicine to validate myself and also my family, as time goes by it slowly ruins my whole being because the things that I want to be was never gonna provide me for my every day life and it still haunts me.

      Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch--I appreciate it!
      I'll have to agree that it's tough when the expectations we set for ourselves-or that others set for us-don't align with what truly fulfills us. My hope is that you'll be able to continue looking for ways in your life outside of medicine to gradually get closer to healing your being.
      Best,
      Levi

    What a kind video. Thank you for taking time to articulate and share. The yearning toward other potential identities is something a past self has felt so deeply. Such a dreadful feeling when in decision paralysis, particularly when the need to achieve status and adequacy is involved. The thought of identity being temporal and in constantly in flux feels so reassuring. love more that it can come through intention, focus and love itself. Hope you have a beautiful day
