Why Your Dream Feels Embarrassing

I think Whisper of the Heart understands something really specific about having a dream. The part before you make it. When it’s still private, fragile, and honestly kind of embarrassing because you have no proof that you’re good enough yet. This video is about Shizuku, creativity, comparison, and that painful gap between loving something and actually trying to do it yourself. Hope you enjoy.
