CINEMATIC SHORT | why i started documenting my life (and you should too)

[@FullyLovingYourself]

I love that RUclips is recommending me new channels can’t wait to watch more of your content! I started documenting my life and healing journey because I couldn’t find anybody else doing it as well. It’s scary because I’m showing the fails too but it is helping me to reflect! I love this 💕

[@raihana.onfilm]

Thank you so much, this means a lot. 🧡

Really well made ❤ I also find that documenting your life and actions is a great way to reflect on your actions in the short-term, which can be helpful for your own growth. Good luck to you 👍

[@raihana.onfilm]

So true! thank youu!

[@ayeshaa6890]

Well made ❤ and this is why I journal and voice record my thoughts and feelings but there’s nothing more powerful than visuals! Thank you for this wonderful video ❤

[@raihana.onfilm]

[@raihana.onfilm]

aw thank you so much for watching 🧡

[@G4RYWithaFour]

This is a really cool idea, and honestly quite inspiring. I feel like i hardly member what happened in my 20's anymore, and i really regret not salvaging what handful of good memories ive had during the past decade thus far. I too want to see how i grow and change and not lose track of who I am. Blessings, I hope this journey goes well for you!

[@raihana.onfilm]

Thank you for your sweet comment 🧡

[@JourneysInCali]

Love it ❤ camera 🎥 ✨

[@kiaratheonlyone_7]

Love this I also just stumbled upon your RUclips channel

[@raihana.onfilm]

thank you for being here Kiara 🧡

[@salemskris]

just wanted to say it was so wonderful stumbling upon this video. the first few minutes were so extremely relatable---the experience of parents not having a lot of your memories or past versions of you recorded because they prioritized careers over everything. self-discovery being under prioritized and seen as an afterthought, whilst jobs (and what type of job) you have is most important. i also was really trying to find and scavenge for cinematic films made by people that look like me, and you are finally the first person i came across that does. it's been making me genuinely upset and sad at the huge lack of representation, but also makes me excited for me to be able to create things with my own spin on it too. thank you for showing me that people like you exist within the creative realm :-)

[@raihana.onfilm]

thank you for taking the time to write these kind words, you have no idea how much this means to me. i love that it's scratching your creative juices as well; i can't wait to see what you do. you are a superstar 🧡

[@buffjenni]

this is one of the most beautiful videos on the internet :.) thank you for posting this & sharing it for others to see

[@raihana.onfilm]

this means so much to me 🧡

[@SuzyTurner]

I think it's wonderful that you're documenting your life for future you. I wish I had been able to do so when I was younger...but I'm 48 now and I'm just starting to do it anyway lol! Lovely video!

[@raihana.onfilm]

Thank you so much.. and 48 is still very young to me! 🧡

[@SuzyTurner]

So having home videos to look back on is a luxury I don't have...

[@sanchezyt8226]

Hi new friends for support

[@photosbysalomae]

[@akosbertalot]

There is a really good study, that shows, that if you film or photograph moments of your life, you tend to forget them easier. The study showed that documenting gives rise to an attitude that it is not so important to remember the moments because you have captured them. Everyday photography and videography is a memory killer. It's proven. So PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS. There are so many people advocating documentation of your life, but it's so unnecessary... also I feel like it's kind of masturbation at this point... you know?

[@raihana.onfilm]

you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

[@oyeaanna]

I really love this!! So beautifully shot and scripted 🩷 I love having the ability to look back at memories through video 🥹
