Having dropped out of film school almost four years ago, I recently picked up my camera and started filming. It wasn’t difficult to record my life around me and my actions, but expressing my thoughts in any way other than text became an uphill struggle and I wasn’t making any progress. I wanted to feel as free as I do talking to my fiancé or while writing but I got locked into the speech patterns I use when I’m uncomfortable which stifled my thoughts. I haven’t given up on speaking but for now I’ll let myself write.
