Can you see the big grin plastered on my face? I love how ZEN this all sounds, and how vidding again seems to be a happy place for you. Yay for finding a vidding mantra that works for you - 'vid stuff you care about'& 'vid the SCARY stuff', I think I need these on icons....
That is so kind and generous of you: thank you! I definitely feel in a really different place than ever before with regard to vidding. :) Now to actually DO some! :) I wish you much zen in your own vidding!
YAY! The first vid review post I've seen on my flist (apologies to any I missed rolling on by) - I was beginning to worry no one was doing it this year. I don't have too many specific things to say except I love reading these from everyone and yours is no exception. I thoroughly approve of your comments under the biggest vid fail section, and also with your points about vidding for an audience or for yourself. You never get quite what you're expecting and ultimately the only way to be sure you're happy is to make the vid for yourself foremost.
Also, tangentially related, but THANK YOU for organising Vidukon. It was a really cool experience and I'm really glad I went. Plus thanks to that, I now have a new friend in brokenmnemonic whom I would probably never have met otherwise! So, yayz all around!
Yeah, I really want to hunt more out. I loooooove reading these things!! Plus, I've been away for so much of the year I really want to use them as a way to catch up on people's vids!
I'm so glad you and brokenmnemonic hit it off so well! He is a wonderful friend to have. :) And although I was sick and exhausted and manic, I am very pleased that Vidukon came off the way it did and hope others also enjoyed connecting with other vidders there.
Although I can still get caught up in anxiety about what other people will think, I am far surer most of the time that it's complete bullshit and I should only listen to my own heart.
I agree with this 100 %.
Go into the fear. Lean into the fire and learn more about myself in the process--the more you risk, the more you gain.
With this too. Go heart and go fear! Both those things can make you massively vulnerable, but I think that in order to reach what you want, you have to risk vulnerability. You can't achieve things unless you put all of you into them.
::grins:: I'm so glad you do! I think I spend too much of my life trying to protect myself... being vulnerable is something I'd like to try more of... even if I have to take baby steps towards it... I used to only see it as weakness in myself, but it's such an illusion.
