Even if you do like me, I’ll feel like I need to reiterate or remind you why you like me. It’s exhausting. The truth is, I assume everyone I meet immediately does not like me, probably because I don’t think that I like me.
Maybe I’m paranoid.
Maybe I typed” like me “too much in this caption.
I wish I could say I’m happy without external validation, but I’d be lying just like you.

A vertical short that had the audio taken away. So here it is again.


*use headphones* “I See Me” - A self made vertical short film I put together for a contest back in 2021. The entirety of this project took me around 3 days. 1 to write and prep, 1 to film, 1 to edit and finalize. It was my first attempt at branching out from walking around under street lights smoking cigarettes as I started to see other people begin to do the same and I wanted to see if I could do something harder to replicate. The message and story in the video is based off of a very personal and scary experience I had. It has its flaws, and like all of my videos, it was shot and built entirely alone. My budget was around $50-$100 including my gas to get out to locations. I like it better without the captions, and I designed it to be listened to with headphones to truly experience it. There are some audio problems. Again, I’m not expert. Not trained. No schooling. Not an actor. Just a regular guy. This was just for fun. I hope some of you enjoy. It is too long to be an Instagram Reel. So whoever runs into this, happy to find you here. Thanks for watching. It’s quite long, and you’re on Instagram right now, so you’re probably itching to get to the next post within 21 seconds max, so if you made it to the end. Thanks.

As a constant disappointment to myself and others I find my bursts of confidence to be overwhelming. These delusional confident triumphs don’t come without their own share of self conscious mind maggots. It’s often maddening thinking about times I’ve been happy or naive around those closest to me who are quietly cringing. I can’t tell what’s worse or bothers me more. My own behavior and starting to believe I’m surrounded with love acceptance and like mindedness , or the confusing participants scoffing behind my back. I can’t make you like me, but I’ll always feel like I need to try. Sure, I can make you feel good, but do you even like who I am?
