My Launch Year Finale - The Conclusion of My Gap Year Adventures

this is my closing reflection on my Launch Year — a letter to my future self. a short film I stitched together with the memories from this year. waves, wind, strangers’ laughter, airports, quiet mornings, and the in-between moments that changed me. i trace the arc of this chapter: what I thought I was leaving to find, what I actually found, and what I’m carrying forward. if you’ve ever lived between homes, grown out of old versions of yourself, or felt the strange ache of becoming — I made this for you. featured texts “Hug the Air” — Ariel J. “Wild Geese” — Mary Oliver featured music linger - the cranberries turista - bad bunny baile inolvidable - bad bunny dmtf - bad bunny clareou - xande de pilares otro atardecer - badbunny just for fun - beyoncé + willie jones blackbird - the beatles midnight sun - zara larsson algo contigo - rita payes weltita - bad bunny + chuwi thank you for watching, for being here, and for holding this year with me. if this film resonates, i'd love to read your thoughts in the comments.
