What It's Like To Feel Stuck - A Cinamatic Poem
It's been exactly a week that I have been struggling mentally, thats why I haven’t been posting as frequently. Everything was fine, until I woke up one day and I was sad, angry, tired, and borderline depressed. It came out of the blue… and it happens sometimes. I lost motivation, and faith in myself. I thought it was just the day, since it was raining and I took the day off. Then the next day, it was the same thing... maybe it was my sleep. Spencer and I went away for two days, hoping it was the environment. And we worked on this project to help me express myself to you all about how I have been feeling lately. Expressing myself and editing this video (thank you @spenceryan, you’re the best), slowly took me out of this funk. I’m feeling a lot better now after being open, honest and vulnerable.
I don’t know how to describe it.
It’s a mental struggle that creeps up on you somedays and it feels like everyone else around you is moving,
but your stuck.
Stuck in one place,
stuck with the same thoughts,
and everything around you becomes the hardest thing in the world.
And then you watch everyone,
just moving.
And you’re pummeling yourself further into this rut and you just end up feeling worse.
This may last a few hours,
a day,
or a week.
But you just have to take it day by day.
Try your best,
and be happy with your best.
The battle with yourself is the toughest battle you will ever fight,
don’t give in,
don’t surrender.
If you’re reading or watching this,
Thank you.

I’m really glad you were able to get away and make something great out of this <3
Thank you for all your help :)
Wow. I can relate so much to this right now.. the planetary alignment is seriously fucking with me and my friends hard this week and I’m feeling It a lot lately also. This was so special to me because of where I’m at. I was in the process of writing a blog post of how much I’m struggling and then I saw this. Re fucking steemed. I’m in New York with my family under shitty circumstances otherwise I’d be down to meet up with you and Spence at the witches brew which is my favorite spot when I’m home. Well have to raincheck till next month. Turn your pain into creativity which is what you’ve already done ! Until next time :)
So glad you are able to relate... my goal was to be able to hit at least one person in the feels.
This week will pass, and another will come. You'll get through it all, and reflect back on it better, and stronger. I'm sorry you're here in NY in these circumstances, however everything will always in the end be okay.
Thank you for your comment & resteem! That means a lot to me. We definitely will meet up when things settle down for you and you're back :)
thank you for sharing, great video!
Thank you!
Just had someone telling me how they felt exacly the same ,
In these moments you feel alone and that you're the only one who feels this way and fail to realize that others feel the same exact way and that its normal sometimes.
I have a slight feeling about how you are feeling and I admire you for being so honest and share your struggles!I hope you find the rut of your problems and start feeling happy again!You are a beautiful person and you deserve to smile😊
Thank you for reading and watching, it feels great to be open.. however, I never stopped smiling!
This piece meant a lot to me. The internal struggle is an ocean with a mischievous moon, we must tread carefully and consistently. I'm really happy you did just that and hope clarity continues to wash over.
Thank you for sharing what this meant to you, its reasons like this that made me want to make it in the first place!
I was wondering where you were on my feed.
You're amazing in everything you do boo. Even the sun gets covered by clouds sometimes 😚
Awww I love you
Oh, no! Cheer up, beautiful!! You are the best and I really miss your videos!!!
Thank you! You're honestly the best <3
Man vs. Man (or in your case, woman vs. woman).
It's common in all of us as humans. We're our greatest ally and our worst enemy at the same time.
Your poem holds a lot of truth. There's nothing wrong with sitting back and coming to a realization about a few things.
I loved the shots you used to make this. Simple yet effective! I dig it!
Haha
I agree with you, and thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos!
I appreciate YOU responding! :D
Sometimes it's good to get "burnt" sometimes it forces yourself to do a 360 and drop everything and pursue the life that you wan't.
