With You with Me with Everyone We Know

Went to breakfast with Mchl, P, and Vncnt.

After breakfast, we talked about making a film together (Mchl and I). P contributed some good food for thought. I felt slightly silly talking about it in front of him, mostly because he is past these preliminary conception stages, he probably has notebooks full of ideas, and I think he's more interested in telling stories. Anyway, one of his questions was: What interests you in making this film? A good question. One I had never really thought about. After providing some half-answers, I later came up with the answer I find most true, and most satisfactory: I want to make something to capture the moment I am living, so that later, I can come back to it and it will evoke memories.

After that we hung around the living room and talked about the Internet, media platforms, etc. I expressed my anxiety about relying on things like the Internet or new platforms, because really, how can we know how long they will last? Shouldn't we take for granted that these things are temporary? I feel myself going back to older values about connecting with people, expressing one's self and documenting these expressions. (She says while writing on her temporary blog -- but this is precisely why I often think about printing out emails, and now, these posts.)

The conversation was enlightening. I'm getting more comfortable with being 100% myself and expressing my opinions in front of P, because he's so accepting of the things I say (and the sometime weird ways I say them). It was easy too, aided by Sm and Mchl's presence.

I feel happy and full of love and enthusiasm and creativity and thought. (If only I had a little bit more motivation to get myself to do something with all these things...)

In the meantime, this Sophia Coppola video makes me happy:
