morning thoughts

it was the first time in my life where i could imagine myself being with someone for several years to come.

Being your own individual self but simultaneously having found love in someone else who you can share your life with… that’s it. Being proud of each other’s achievements, being supportive of one another during successes and failures, knowing that there’s someone out there who loves you for who you are but who also makes you become a better person. Feeling safe within your bond but not entrapped by it. So, how do you propose this natural next step, that of living together? And how do you recover from rejection?

Filmed November 2017, in French.
