Complacency is a scary place to reside in. It’s always easiest to live in a world of convenience then to chase your hopes and dreams. Far to often we let our ambitions take a back seat in an attempt to protect ourselves from the fear of failure. Essentially, this misunderstanding that a life well lived with no pain or little disturbance is nothing but a big myth. We should absorb life with the same sense of curiosity regardless of whatever we encounter is full pain or delight. Not all our experiences will be full of pleasure, we sometimes will have to lose the ground we walk on in order to appreciate the things we have, the things we need and the things we want. We can’t be taught this through second hand experience; we can’t be told what to do and what is right for us because what is right for someone else is not necessarily right for you or me. We have to leap and sometimes fall and see the world in the many shades that it exists in. If we forever stay invested in a state of complacency, we may never know the potential that we encompass.

mauricio! that video was amazing! you wrote that poetry? perfect! the editing of the video and pacing of the poetry were very harmonious, and well done of course. the music you added really went well with the mood, and emphasized it nicely. music-wise and tone-wise, and overall editing-wise, it reminded me of the elliot smith documentary, not that it was biting it at all! it just seemed very professionally done and artsy in the same light. you should see that documentary if you haven't- it's on youtube. this video seems like a famous quote of a late great artist edited professionally to clips of the artist that in some way reflect the quote and inspires the viewer profoundly. great job!
Thanks Logan! I appreciate the comments. As you know I bleed my soul into everything I write because I want everything I say to have meaning. Thanks again. I will check out the Elliot Smith as soon as possible.
